Yama Balian

A boutique retreat hotel perched above the sacred Balian River, Yama was built on the belief that conscious living is a practice, not a luxury. Its 80sqm wooden yoga shala faces directly over the river, creating one of the most atmospheric practice spaces in West Bali. The property hosts a rotating programme of visiting retreat leaders — covering yoga, breathwork, somatic work, sound healing, and more — and offers Ayurvedic-influenced food, a riverside spa, sauna, and ice bath. Private stays are available between retreats for those seeking a slower, more intentional few days away from the south.
