The Pala Ubud Resort
Mark the New Year in Bali
Some Bali retreats are shaped around a particular season, and The Pala Ubud Resort is associated with a New Year gathering. The retreat’s website is titled “New Year on Bali,” while the resort’s wider accommodation includes Villa Agung, described as its flagship five-bedroom estate. That gives the setting a villa-scale character, though the exact lodging arrangement for retreat guests may depend on the event. This is a resort venue, not a named meditation institution, so the program is best understood as specific to the retreat dates rather than assumed to follow a standard silent-retreat format. The Ubud location suits travelers pairing a Bali stay with a calendar-marked retreat. Check the organizer’s details for the practice, schedule, meals, and accommodation attached to your chosen dates. This is a paid experience, with rates and booking terms to review before reserving.

Setting
The retreat takes place at a resort in Ubud, giving it a lodging-first setting rather than that of a dedicated meditation campus. The resort includes Villa Agung, a flagship five-bedroom estate; the retreat’s exact use of the property depends on its arrangements.
A typical day
Daily structure varies with the New Year retreat rather than following a fixed timetable. Confirm the session times, meals, and free periods with the organizer before you travel; do not assume a silent-retreat schedule.
Accommodation
The resort’s accommodation includes Villa Agung, described as a five-bedroom estate. Which rooms or lodging options are part of the retreat may vary, so check the event details before booking.
What to bring
Pack light, breathable clothes for Bali’s warm conditions, plus a light layer for cooler evenings, especially from July to September. January, May, and November are wetter months, so bring a compact rain layer; check the retreat’s practice details for any session-specific items.
