I had the most amazing time! I had no expectations going to Soulshine and if I did they were blown out of the water. From the moment I arrived I felt like a queen. The staff called me by name and was always so happy when they saw me. I really enjoyed that every staff member (EVERY) made a point to say hello or good morning or good night. I wish I could remember everyone’s names, but the few that really made my experience over the moon were: Devi, she taught me how to Balinese dance and make Paku Pipit’s. Ika and Rina always seemed happy to see me and remembered my favorite orders. Had great conversations with Raka about reading books. Made was always interested in how my day was going and what adventures I had been on. The staff is phenomenal!
The location its self is well taken care of and unbelievably beautiful. From the pool area to the gardens to the yoga studios.
Oh and let’s talk about the food! Most of their produce is grown on site, and you can taste the love. The kitchen has some of the best meals I’ve ever had. And the breakfast buffet is to die for. So many amazing options to choose from and it goes from 7am-11am. They make sure to refresh multiple dishes so the food is always fresh. I have never eaten so well before.
I also loved how all the yoga studios had clean equipment to use and full water stations. Clean water is a big thing in Bali and they made sure I always had enough if not more.
I only have good things to say about my stay. It changed my life and I seriously can’t wait to come back.
Thank you!

It was beautiful! The accommodation is gorgeous and everyone friendly. Confusion at the beginning around price as was actually in US dollars when I thought I was paying in Australian dollars. Better clarification would be good.
The team at Soulshine were also not clear on how the Escape package/food credit worked. We managed to sort it though- not a big issue. To give feedback…the food was quite bland. More flavour would be great but I guess they’re trying to make it accessible for all.
The spa and staff was AMAZING!!! I would definitely come back and encourage others to book.
This was a truly life changing experience for me. I was able to rest and reset, met some incredible people, ate the best food I've ever had in my life and experienced the beauty of the Balinese people and culture. I am eternally thankful and grateful for the opportunity to have attended this retreat at SolShine Bali and to Sunshine Zerda, QVLN and Sara Franti for making this happen. I will be back!
