Maya Ubud Resort & Spa

Reached by a meandering driveway, enveloped on all sides by sympathetically styled jungle exotica, this resort brings you 5 star luxury with lashings of ancient Balinese style and provides the perfect location to set the scene for your own personal retreat revolution.

The Maya Resort rests on the banks of the Petanu River and is set in 10 hectares of lush private valley a short distance from the centre of Ubud. The design ethic embraces the traditional Balinese principle of lining up a village along a sacred north south axis, linking the god’s realm of the mountains in the centre of the island with the demons that live in the sea. The roots of this are deep and primeval and there is a real sense of the architecture sensitively connecting with the landscape.

Having said that, this hotel provides all the contemporary comfort and opulence that you can handle. There are two swimming pools, a spa, a choice of restaurants, a gym, the best tennis courts in Ubud and free local shuttle buses.

We are delighted to base the retreat at this exceptional location and offer a choice of 2 different luxurious rooms for your stay. Changing is also about being nice to yourself!

Maya Ubud Resorts & Spa Retreat - FoodThe Food

Our resort package includes both breakfast and lunch because you will be on site for most of the day working through the program. The Maya puts on a particularly excellent buffet breakfast and lunch will be provided at the healthy and wholesome Riverside Café. However, we felt that with all the excellent eateries in Ubud, our guests may want to travel the short distance into town in the evening to sample something different, so dinner is not generally included in the price. Of course if you don’t want to leave the resort there are plenty of tasty options here too.

We do provide a delicious welcome dinner on the first night at the Maya Resort and a final celebration dinner at a great venue in Ubud.


Maya Ubud Resorts & Spa Retreat - SpaSpa

The world class spa, with its distinctive outdoor treatment rooms overlooking the lifeblood of the River Petanu and the lush rain forest will feature a special 30% discount for our guests. Here, the skilled therapists will help to balance your senses with a range of holistic treatments designed to relax and rejuvenate every fiber of your being.


Maya Ubud Resorts & Spa Retreat - Spice GardenThe Spice Garden

This is a magical spot which feels a million miles from the world of the resort. Set in a glade behind the yoga shala and planted with a variety of herbs and spices, this will be the setting for part of our program. The Balinese chef will take you on a tour and introduce you to the medicinal qualities of the plants found here. This will be followed by a cooking lesson under the shade of a thatched bamboo awing in the confines of the dappled sunlit garden. Afterwards, your hard work will be rewarded as you feast on your labors and soak up more of the ethereal beauty which surrounds you.


Maya Ubud Resorts & Spa Retreat - Yoga StudioYoga Shala and Workshop Space

We have two main spaces within the resort where the main body of our transformational retreat work will take place. The first is a beautifully appointed workshop room which looks out onto the rambling jungle and the other is the contemporary zenned-out yoga shala with equally breath-taking aspects.

Either yoga or meditation is scheduled every morning and this will be taken together as a group. However, in your free time be sure to take advantage of the many secluded, whimsical spaces around this fabulous resort to deepen your retreat practice.
