Welcome to the Villa Sungai Bali, Couples Retreat experience in Bali…

The retreat begins with a one on one session with our teachers to introduce you to the retreat program and to answer all your questions. A gentle evening yoga session will help you to recover from a day of traveling before you join other retreat participants for your welcome dinner.

A beautiful welcome ceremony tunes you into the Sungai vibe. During the week you can enjoy daily classes including yoga, meditation, pranayama and workshops, and a lot of delicious food and drinks. It is not required for participants to join the whole program. You may freely choose to join only specific parts of the program (e.g. you can choose to do yoga, while your partner can choose to just enjoy the villa/shop/dine).

Each day we offer a slightly different theme to cater to a variety of interests and practices. On the evening of Day 6 we invite you to join our closing ceremony. The retreat ends with a morning yoga practice and a tasty breakfast. Extend your stay for a few more days of relaxation and sightseeing at Sungai or continue your travels in Bali.

Villa:

This isn’t just a villa – it is a rural experience of sumptuous proportions. Staying here is a juxtaposition between Balinese village life and living like the Sultan of Brunei.

Sungai is one of Bali’s preeminent luxury villas with the sophistication, inclusions and full service of the finest hotel, but with the privacy and exclusivity of a private residence. This isn’t one of a complex of villas, not a villa within a hotel, but a truly private ‘one-off’. With the addition of the ‘Owner’s Villa’ (Sungai Gold), guests now have the option of another 3 king guest suites. 

Set in a tranquil country village in the island’s south-west coast and surrounded by village temples, Cepaka is 20 chauffeured minutes from neighbouring hot spot Canggu (10 by bike/scooter) and a fascinating 30-40 minutes from Seminyak. Sungai means river, and this exceptional resort is set on the bank of a small one in the tiny village of Cepaka. You’re in the real Bali here. The natural sounds and rhythms remind you that you are in the jungle. Listen to the wildlife quietly murmuring and chattering in the background over the subtle lilt of the flowing river below. You have the sensation of sailing on the canopy of green which comforts you as you sink into an utterly relaxed state.The staff to guest ratio is amazing and the customer service philosophy is benchmarked against the most exclusive boutique chain in the world. 

After placing second to Huka Lodge NZ in 2009, ahead of Como Shambala and a couple of Amans, SUNGAI BALI topped the Luxury Travel’s GOLD LIST as ‘Best Overseas Boutique Property, Villa or Lodge’ in 2010, 2011, and then again in 2013. Amongst the Top Ten properties that year were Villa d’Este at Lake Como, Italy and the New Zealand lodges: Huka, Blanket Bay, Kauri Cliffs and Matakauri. Huka and Sungai have battled it out in subsequent years with Huka just pipping Sungai in 2017. Then in 2018 is a winner once more!
