The Place Retreats is now Open All Year Round
The Place Retreats is a boutique, bespoke sanctuary of calm, located on the southwest coast of the Bali.
Our retreats are designed to give you an opportunity to rediscover a sense of stillness, and to help guide you on a journey towards a healthier body, a happier mind and a more balanced life.
During your stay at The Place Retreats, you’ll learn how to release the stress and pressure of everyday life, and we’ll show you the physical, emotional and psychological techniques that will help you to help yourself. Learn how to reset your mind and body, how to start afresh, and how to take control of negative habits that might be causing you unhappiness.
We don’t just help you during your stay, either. It’s our mission to share with you the proven techniques that will help you become more conscious, active and fulfilled throughout the rest of your life.
An experience at The Place Retreats includes:
- The only retreat programme that combines psychotherapy with Kundalini Yoga & Meditation for all levels in a beautiful Balinese Shala, in the morning and afternoon.
- Swimming in two pools, outdoor lounging and dining areas. Three dining experiences a day, that are a feast of freshly cooked market produce.
- A peaceful and luxurious sanctuary where everything is designed for you to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
- Expert and profound body therapies in our on-site therapy room, including Acupuncture, Cranio-Sacral and Watsu, which are tailored to your individual needs.
- Discussing your worries, troubles and anxieties with a team led by one of Europe’s most highly regarded therapists in complete confidence.
