Dragonfly Village
Slow down among the rice fields
Ubud’s rice fields set the pace at Dragonfly Village, where car-free grounds make a stay feel removed from traffic and bustle while keeping you in a green, lived-in landscape. Handcrafted teak-wood bungalows bring a warm, natural note to the accommodation, and an open-air shala offers a place to gather for practice. Between time outdoors, guests can swim in the saltwater pool overlooking the fields or try a traditional Balinese herbal steam sauna. Meals are farm-to-table and vegetarian, making food part of the village’s connection to its surroundings. The atmosphere feels less like a formal retreat campus and more like a small village shaped around rest, nature, and shared spaces. The tradition and daily program depend on the retreat you book, so Dragonfly Village may suit travelers who value a restorative setting more than a fixed meditation schedule. It is a paid retreat; confirm current rates and inclusions before reserving.
