Leisure Activities


There are many opportunities for planning your vacation time at the retreat and in the surrounding area.

Just a 10 minute walk through the breath taking countryside is the beautiful black sand of Balian Beach. Extremely popular with surfers due to its consistent, moderately sized waves, it still has the feeling of a private beach. It’s a great spot for sunbathing, making sand castles, and long romantic walks.

For a change of pace. you might want to explore the area and take a guided tour of this region’s temples. Bali has a rich spiritual culture, with thousands of beautiful, sacred Hindu temples in this region.

We can arrange getaways with or without a guide for site seeing and shopping trips to Kuta, Legian, or the Denpasar art market for an exotic treasure. Whatever your interests, you will find it here in Bali, and we would be happy to show you!

If you feel like staying at the retreat, you don’t have to go anywhere to have a full day! You could take a yoga class at our beautiful Bali yoga hall, or get a massage and spa treatment. We have swimming pools and plenty of places to relax and renew your spirit.

There is always something going on at Shankari’s… For instance, you can take a silk painting workshop, giving your inner artist a chance to create a masterpiece you or a loved one can wear. Upon completion, the silk cloth is rendered as a sarong by our team of expert tailors, giving you a personalized piece of wearable art work to take home.
Shankari’s Bali Retreat has something for everyone. Come along for the journey, and discover what is waiting for you.
