Basundari
Let the green slow your pace
Ubud’s green edges set the pace at Basundari: tropical jungle, rice fields and the sound of a nearby river give the retreat a distinctly outdoors-facing character, while the town’s cultural life is close at hand. Open-air areas, a yoga shala surrounded by greenery and pools create places to move between practice and unhurried rest. The setting suits travelers who want a nature-rich base for a retreat rather than a resort itinerary, with Bali’s landscape part of the experience. Basundari hosts retreat stays, but the practice, schedule and length depend on the particular program, so check the details before choosing dates. Accommodation and meal arrangements also depend on the retreat; ask the host what is included when you book. Come for the leafy atmosphere, and leave room in your plans to enjoy a slower rhythm.
