There is a huge amount of yoga retreats to choose from in Ubud.

Mostly to be found are the mid to high-end yoga retreats.

The area is full of beautiful luxury yoga retreat centers.

Either in the peaceful space of open paddy fields or in the forested river valley, perched on top of a ravine.

Retreats offer you everything here. Relaxation, healing, meditation, detox, pampering spa treatments, rejuvenation, Ayurveda, and all types of yoga styles to practice.

The retreat spa menus are amazing and you can indulge for the time you are here in the world class spas.

The Ubud retreat experience really is quite luxury and the resorts come with first class facilities in terms of the food, studios, gyms and teachers.

The classes are run by world renowned teachers.

Enjoy incredibly nutritious and delicious food, whatever you are looking for - organic, vegan, vegetarian, raw...

And then there is the resort itself, the comfortable luxurious accommodation, the infinity pool overlooking the natural and raw nature of rainforest and paddy fields, and the incredible facilities and fitness studios.

These chic boutique retreats offer yoga retreats of all types, providing you the opportunity of holistic healing through yoga, spa, meditation and other activities.

Well if you review them carefully you are sure to find one that suits your budget.

But generally Ubud is known to be more expensive than other areas in Bali.

So expect $200 - $300 a night, for everything included.

That will include - airport transfers, luxury room, healthy food, revitalising juices, daily group classes and access to incredible facilities.

High season is June to August, and the mornings and nights are still cool here.

Ubud is a busy town so best avoid peak season, maybe try May or September.

Even in the rainy season of Christmas time you can be lucky with the weather.
