Such a charming place! Perfect for resting and reconnecting with yourself. The staff was absolutely lovely, and caring !! They made my stay truly enjoyable The food was delicious and healthy. I requested vegetarian options, and my request was fully respected. And the doggies bring so much joy! They’re all so sweet, especially Thor, who greets you every day with a little gift (either a leaf or a stone 😌) I truly enjoyed my stay at Anima.

There's nothing not to like, as we had a great Balinese cultural experience.

The luxurious amenities, all-inclusive meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and the location in a less touristy area are what grabbed our attention to the hotel. We loved everything! I highly recommend Anima Retreat for its luxurious independent suite rooms, Balinese cuisine, friendly staff, serene atmosphere, excellent customer service, and the four cute resident dogs. A big thumbs up!

None.

Such a magical, secluded setting. Our villa was beautifully crafted with good facilities and the staff were wonderful, always available to help. It was our first all inclusive experience and it was perfect, the food was delicious and we loved the surprise of every meal. The portions were also very generous. We fell in love with the location and wished we had more time to explore. The messages were very enjoyable. We will definitely come back to stay at Anima Retreat!

Location is remote compared to key areas of interest on the island. However, you are able to rent a scooter or take taxis to go visit areas if you wish to do so. Most roads are built for scooters. The all inclusive aspect doesn’t cover drinks outside of tea/coffee & water or snacks. You can go to the local shop to source these instead. Indonesia is a very cheap place. If you stay here, it’s worth the upgrade to one of the white brick villas.

The team that work here go out of their way to look after you. There are 4 friendly dogs that live on premises that are well behaved and are no issue in pestering if you want some peace and quiet. The main pool is very beautiful with some villas having their own one too. Brilliant location to have a retreat and truly relax if this is what you desire. Location and nearby rural areas are very beautiful and would recommend hiring a scooter to explore and take it all in.

We chose Anima Retreat Bali as the end of our adventure in Bali. We wanted something different, a little wild and to isolate ourselves from the whole world. And Anima gave us everything we needed.. a gorgeous oasis in the middle of the jungle. Beautiful, well-kept garden, greenery, bungalows located here and there in a refined style, a large pool with a wonderful view. The staff is caring and kind, they welcomed us warmly and throughout our stay they created comfort for us and at the same time provided us with the feeling of solitude that we wanted. The hotel is also home to four dogs, which we were a little worried about, but they turned out to be gentle, friendly and slightly curious. The food was typically traditional, prepared on the spot, while at the same time they took into account and slightly changed according to our taste preferences. Our room was refined, with a terrace amidst lush greenery, with an outdoor bathroom where you can take a shower under the stars, extremely clean! A place where you can connect with yourself and nature or just enjoy solitude and relaxation. The stone massage is unique, melting and recharging. The village near the hotel is beautiful and peaceful. We highly recommend it for people who want to relax in nature and love pets.

Everything was amazing. The place is even more beautiful than we expected. Everything is perfect : The cleanliness, location, quality of food and meals, and of every single service. The staff is so nice. I could not have dreamt of a better place for my holidays in Bali. Definitely recommend to spend time at Anima.

We really like the food there cause it’s Local and light. The manager and staff are super nice! You feel welcomed by them sincerely all the time including the lovely dogs there.

All was amazing

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of staying at Anima Retreat in Bali, and it was truly a rejuvenating experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of touristy areas. One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious vegetarian food. Each meal was a delightful combination of fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making it easy to enjoy healthy eating while still indulging my taste buds. The variety offered was impressive, and I looked forward to every meal. The accommodations at Anima Retreat were equally impressive. My room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, providing a serene atmosphere that allowed me to unwind completely. The entire property was meticulously maintained, with pristine areas that contributed to the relaxing vibe. Another standout aspect was the massage services. The treatments were both soothing and rejuvenating, providing the perfect way to melt away any tension. The skilled therapists truly knew how to create an atmosphere of relaxation. Our host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure that all our needs were met throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. I also loved spending time with the dogs on the property. They added a sense of joy and companionship that enhanced the overall experience. Their playful energy was a delightful addition to the serene environment. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the tourist crowds, Anima Retreat is the perfect choice. I left feeling refreshed, recharged, and with wonderful memories. I can’t wait to return!

Anima Retreat in Bali offers an escape with cozy bungalows nestled in a lush, well-maintained garden. The huge rooms provide comfort, while the big swimming pool adds to the relaxation. Friendly staff create a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. The delicious Balinese cuisine is a highlight. A bit more space for clothes, a luggage spot, and hangers would be a great addition 😊 A peaceful retreat with a welcoming touch! 🌿✨thank you all and especially Gaia for the experience treatment!

An Unforgettable Couple’s Experience at Anima Retreat Bali We had the great pleasure of spending a few days at Anima Retreat Bali, and it was simply magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm hospitality of the entire team. We especially want to highlight Gaia, who took care of us like we were friends. Not only did she impress us with her friendly demeanor, but she also provided us with fantastic excursion tips that made our stay even more memorable. The accommodation itself is a true paradise. Our room was stylishly decorated and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, and we enjoyed every minute in this beautiful space. The pool area is simply stunning! We spent many relaxing hours by the pool, surrounded by lush Balinese vegetation – the perfect place to unwind. The wellness offerings are an absolute highlight! The massages and treatments are of the highest quality and left us both deeply relaxed. We also participated in several yoga classes led by experienced instructors – a perfect way to align body and mind. The culinary experiences at Anima Retreat are also remarkable. The breakfast was a true delight, featuring fresh, local ingredients and a variety of options to suit every taste. Dinner was a feast for the senses – we thoroughly enjoyed Balinese cuisine. The location of the retreat is ideal for exploring the beauty of Bali. Thanks to Gaia’s excellent recommendations, we embarked on some unforgettable excursions in the area and experienced the culture and nature of the island. Overall, our stay at Anima Retreat Bali was an unforgettable experience that strengthened our relationship. We can highly recommend this accommodation and are already looking forward to our next visit! A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, especially Gaia, for this wonderful time!

I liked that the food was local Indonesian food but it would be great if they balance it with some healthier options with more fruits or vegetables or salad on the side instead of always fried or stir fried.

The place was very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay without distraction and away from all the traffic in Bali. We really liked that there's a common dinning table and we got to meet other guests and travelers in the resort. Gaia was the one managing the property and she was very nice and attentive. We liked that the food is different everyday and that they serve fresh local food. The resort is well maintained and we would definitely go back if we decide to have a quiet stay in Bali.

Absolutely loved my stay at Anima Retreat. The description of the villa & photos are very accurate, even better once you arrive and feel the whole sense of the area. Gaia is such a lovely host, so welcoming and so helpful to any questions or activities you wish to do. She helps to organise anything you may require. The whole experience was so personal, the staff are so warm and you feel so taken care of. It's the perfect place to enjoy peace and zen from our busy lives and any problems. Breakfast, lunch & dinner are so wonderfully made each day fresh, its also nice to all dine together with the fellow guests and share stories together. The additional activities you can choose to do are so great, the hot stone massage was incredible and I was able to participate in the Ayurvedic healing, fire purification ceremony and introduction to meditation class. All so incredible and perfect for the rejuvenation trip I was on. Would love to come back again!

Nothing - we loved everything about Anima.

The property is exactly as described: an idyllic paradise in a quiet Balinese village. The staff are wonderful: so welcoming and friendly. The main host Gaia went out of her way to help make our Bali experience wonderful, including booking day trips and helping us with taking a scooter to the nearby beach. Thank you Gaia for taking such great care of us ❤️ Our room was beautiful, bed very comfortable with lovely sheets, and facilities tasteful, clean and serene. The housekeeping team helped us out with laundry. The property itself is stunning - lush and tropical and very well maintained. The meals are delicious and daily menu well thought out. The chefs are highly skilled and it is so lovely dining in the big open lounge area. We also enjoyed the coffees and coconuts by the pool. I also had a deep tissue massage which was fantastic. We wish we could have stayed for twice as long!

We had a pleasant time during our stay. The staff is very friendly and always helping when is needed. To have 3 meals included let us try the traditional kitchen from Bali during our short stay. The rooms are pretty comfortable, with a nice terrace to enjoy the beauty of the nature! The garden landscape and pool are amazing.

A minor point, some hanging space for clothes in the bedroom would have been good.

The breakfast was made fresh every day with local ingredients – it was very nice. Anima Retreat Bali is in a quiet location in the heart of a local community. Staying here gives you the perfect opportunity to explore the whole island. We would recommend staying here if you are looking to unwind, recharge your batteries and have an amazing Bali experience.

Excellent, quite small boutique hotel.

The food unfortunately is not yet at at a standard that matches the luxury feel of the resort, but I think it will soon be improved.

Anima’s an incredible place, located in such a beautiful and traditional part of Bali that feels untouched from the wave of tourism and chaos of the rest of the island. Beautiful villas immersed in nature. Definitely would recommend getting balinese massages as they are amazing.

Definitely the best place if you are looking for peace, quiet and you love to be surrounded by nature, far away from the city noises. Being there was the best experience for me because that's where my healing started. It was a place where I could really relax and enjoy being in the moment, because time really stops there. Thank you Sebastian and staff for your welcoming and caring host. See you next time!
