RETREATS

Location
Rahasia Manis is an ideal location for holding workshops, retreats, weddings or gatherings. Located near a quiet traditional village, it is only 30 minutes from central Ubud, 10 minutes from some of Bali’s holiest places and temples, and very close to several excellent restaurants. We are a lot higher than most of the tourist spots, therefore the temperature is considerably cooler, with fewer mosquitoes. Usually, it is fine to sleep without a mosquito net, although all beds have them. We choose not to have AC, as it is not necessary, and all of our houses are designed to optimise the natural breezes. All the houses have either ceiling or wall fans.

Access is a 5 minute walk along a narrow rice field path, paved except for one 5 meter stretch. There are also several sets of steps on the property. We love our seclusion and the peace and freedom provided by being off the "beaten path", however, it means we are not the ideal location for everyone, especially those with mobility issues or seeking a more resort-style western experience.

The Property

We can comfortably house a maximum of 33 people, and for any overflow there is plenty of alternative accommodation very close by, some being right next door. Each house is completely unique, apart from our 4 luxury huts, and even those have different colour schemes. Every house has a shower and abundant hot water, and some have bathtubs also. Every unit has a fridge, and several have complete kitchens. Each house has its own personal safe, with a changeable combination lock. There are currently 16 + sleeping spaces available in 12 different buildings, each en-suite.

There are 2 separate spa areas, plus countless little corners for relaxing or meditation. There is a fire-pit for the use of groups, and a 10 metre saltwater pool made from volcanic stone and quite deep.

We have a secure "dry room", with infra-red lights and a dehumidifier, where we store all of our humidity sensitive electronics and other objects.

Please refer to our Information PDF for full details on our services and facilities.

The large yoga hall is a separate rental, and besides being perfect for yoga and meditation it is also ideal for classes of any kind, performances, dancing or plays. There are also several smaller spaces suitable for meditation, yoga, art classes or any other kind of classroom situation.

Event Organisation
Group leaders are welcome to organise their own events, in which case the price of renting the property will include maintenance and cleaning only. Meal plans and costs can be agreed upon separately, plus laundry and all other non-inclusive housekeeping needs. This will not include our involvement in any of the actual planning, scheduling or running of your event outside of these required basics.

Alternatively, we have 17 years experience in organising and running events of all kinds in Bali, if you would like our assistance we will be happy to create, price and organise a package tailored to your requirements.

Set package prices for facilitating events can also include:

Our continued presence before and during your event to take care of any and all additional arrangements, medical emergencies, or other eventualities or problems that might arise.
Organising shopping excursions, adventure experiences and tours of ancient sites.
Arranging for the attendance of special local events and celebrations.
Scheduling group transportation and airport transfers.
Setting up and maintaining the audio/visual aids for presentations.
Arranging and scheduling on-site spa treatments, massage, and yoga classes.
Organising group menus from our restaurant.
Arranging visits with traditional Balinese healers.

We can work closely with you on every aspect of your gathering, enabling you to organise your event without the necessity of coming to Bali beforehand.
