Book Your Retreat

Join us in the sacred lands of Ubud, Bali

for a soul-awakening, body-restoring, and truth-telling retreat led by two master-level facilitators with over 30 years of combined experience.

This is not a retreat to escape your life—this is where you come to live it more fully.

Mind

Clear the noise, reconnect to your truth, and rewire old narratives. This is the space where insight meets self-responsibility—and transformation begins.

Body

Move, breathe, and feel it all. Your body is your wisest guide. Through breathwork and bodywork, we’ll unlock stored tension and return you to your magnificence.

Spirit

Come home to the parts of you that were never broken. In sacred connection with self, others, and nature—your soul remembers who you are.

Why Choose Our Retreat?

In the arms of the jungle, among rice terraces and fire ceremonies, you’ll be held in a deeply transformative space to return to the essence of who you are:

The part of you that is whole.

The part that remembers.

The part that is ready.

You’ll leave with tools to regulate your nervous system, complete emotional loops, and cultivate loving, honest connection with yourself and others.

This is sacred work. This is soul work. This is YOUR work.

Don't miss out, express interest now!
Meditation in nature

Every part of you is welcome here.

The parts you love, the parts you hide, the parts you’re still learning to hold.

This journey is for you if…

You’re ready to shed the old stories—trauma loops, outdated identities, and survival strategies that no longer serve

You’re craving real connection—to your body, your truth, your wildness, and to others who meet you there

You want both the science and the sacred—nervous system healing with a side of soul

You’re calling in more joy, more ease, and the kind of sovereignty that comes from deep self-responsibility You’re DONE performing, people-pleasing, shrinking, and pretending to have it all together

You want depth. You want freedom. You’re ready to remember who you are.

This sounds like me, book me in a shared room I would prefer a private room!

Tucked away in the lush hills of Ubud, Amori Villas is more than a place to stay — it’s a sanctuary for transformation. With only seven suites and villas, the entire property feels intimate, sacred, and designed for connection. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and every detail whispers: you are cared for.

Here, retreat isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you feel. Wake to the sound of the jungle, nourish your body with vibrant Balinese food, and move with the rhythm of yoga in the treetop shala. After breathwork, melt into a massage, float in the infinity pool overlooking the valley, or slip into stillness surrounded by nature.

This is not a hotel stay. This is coming home — in Bali’s most soulful setting.

ROOM ONE

DELUXE POOLSIDE SUITE

Opening out to the gardens and valley, and close to the pool and jacuzzi/ hot tub, this suite is perfect for those who love a swim before breakfast. The beautifully appointed bathroom features marble flooring and a cream terrazzo bath with its own views.

Essentials – airconditioning, ceiling fan, TV, desk, hairdryer, makeup mirror.

Bedding options: King-size Double, Twin or Triple.

ROOM TWO

GRAND DOUBLE SUITE

The views from this suite will bring instant peace and relaxation. Whether it is from the “stargazing balcony”, the desk in the bay window or from the elegant king-size bed – pictures don’t do it justice. Or if that is not enough, you have secluded luxury with a huge indoor/ outdoor bathroom – viewing window to the valley, choice of two showers, a huge sunken terrazzo bath and a fish pond. A romantic dinner for two on your balcony is highly recommended.

Essentials – air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mosquito netting, smart TV, desk, hairdryer and makeup mirror.

King-size double bed.

ROOM THREE

GARDEN VILLA

This suite has everything you might want, except for views and a bath. It is extremely private and perfect for couples where one is a reader and the other prefers to watch TV. It is spacious – 50 sq m of bedroom and bathroom, plus another 40 sq m of garden and walled courtyard. The beautifully bright bedroom has double sliding doors on two sides, opening onto the garden. And the large, fully-marble bathroom also has a garden window.

Essentials – airconditioning, ceiling fan, TV, desk, hairdryer and makeup mirror.

Bedding options: King-size Double, Twin or Triple.

ROOM FOUR

GRAND DOUBLE SUITE

Dreaming of a 4-poster bed and a Balinese massage, followed by a fragrant flower-petal bath in a beautiful terrazzo bath?

Being at Amori’s highest point, you will have panoramic and relaxing views from everywhere in the bedroom and the bathroom. The Honeymoon Suite is spacious and very comfortable for quiet reading or watching movies from your 4-poster bed, etc. Butler service is just a phone call away.

Essentials – air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mosquito netting, smart TV, hairdryer, makeup mirror.

King-size double bed.

ROOM FIVE

TREEHOUSE VILLA

Privately and peacefully set amongst the lush tropical trees, Amori’s one-bedroom villa can sleep 4 or 5 people. Or is it spacious luxury for a couple? Apart from the king-size double/twin bedroom and enormous indoor/outdoor bathroom, there is a separate lounge and verandah with day bed. This is your home away from home….with housekeeping and butler service.

Essentials – air-conditioning, ceiling fan, smart TV, desk, hairdryer, makeup mirror.

Bedding options: King-size Double or Twin, plus double sofa-bed and/or extra single bed.

ROOM SIX

KINGFISHER VILLA

King-size double bed plus 1 or 2 extra single beds. Kingfisher Villa is so named because it is close to the river. From the verandah you can see the whitewater rapids and, hopefully, you will also catch a glimpse of one of the 3 bright blue Java Kingfishers which live on the other side of the river and often fly past to go fishing.

Note: The privacy of the location comes with the potential disadvantage of an 80 metre walk, 6 flights of stairs and a bridge over a deep ravine. We strongly suggest that families with children aged 4 or less will be better suited to the safety and convenience of the Treehouse Villa

ROOM SEVEN

HEAVEN SPRING VILLA

Amori’s Classic Villas overlook the river, with amazing deep valley views. Connect with the surrounding nature and enjoy peace and privacy.

Heaven Spring Villa is a traditional gledag or wooden house, rebuilt using the original timber. The wood creates a unique experience and feeling. There is a very large bedroom with king-size 4-poster canopy bed, a daybed/extra single bed, and space for another single bed. The room has both air-conditioning and a ceiling fan. There is a TV and a desk. The bathroom/ dressing room is large with a shower and elegant claw-foot bath… with a reading lamp. For relaxing and occasional dining, there is a verandah with a settee and table/chairs.
