FireFly Retreat

This retreat was absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. It was the perfect balance of relaxation, culture, and meaningful experiences. The daily yoga sessions were amazing, and I really appreciated the activities where we could learn more about Balinese culture.

At the same time, there was always enough free time to relax or explore on your own, which made the whole experience feel very balanced and natural.

What made it truly special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and caring, and you could feel the genuine love they put into everything they do. Thank you so much to the entire team for making this experience so special.

I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a beautiful and enriching experience. I’m so grateful for all the moments

Rest, peace and happiness

I just loved this week! The balance between yoga lessons, Balinese culture workshops/excursions, the view from my room at the retreat overlooking rice fields, the pool, the very tasty and varied food, Ariel being a lovely host, the nice group of people, the very friendly staff, time to go into Ubud. I forgot my passport upon arrival at the airport and Ariel made sure a Grab driver brought it to me asap so I could still make my flight, thank you so much Ariel!! I will come back again!!

This is so much more than a yoga retreat. It’s the focus on positive energy, wonderful people, fun activities, and a local touch that feels truly authentic. I’ve had an incredible week and met amazing people! Highly recommended. The yoga instructors are excellent too.

The people running the retreat, the instructors and the attendees were all good. The food was interesting and apart from breakfast I ate a different dish every time.

I had high hopes for this retreat — the description sounded wonderful, and the food and group atmosphere were indeed lovely. Unfortunately, the yoga was far below what was promised: very basic, unstructured, and without any sense of qualified guidance.

When I politely shared that the yoga practice wasn’t (personally) what I had expected and that I might leave early, the situation escalated unexpectedly. I wrote a very respectful and appreciative message, expressing gratitude for the food and community, and simply explained that the yoga practice didn’t meet my personal expectations.

That message was the starting point of everything that followed. The owner reacted with visible anger and pressured me to leave immediately. Later that night, I was told to pack my things and leave the retreat in the dark, which felt intimidating and deeply uncomfortable.

Afterward, he falsely claimed that I had been rude or disrespectful — which is simply untrue. I left quietly, saying nothing more than a calm “goodbye,” as there was nothing else to say at that point.

The owner reserves the right to exclude participants if he feels they disturb the “group vibe” — yet if you decide to leave voluntarily, you’re simply sent off into the night, through the rice fields.

The surroundings also don’t match the photos: several buildings are half-finished or visibly decaying.

I did this yoga retreat with my daughter and it exceeded our expectations. The yoga teacher are dedicated, experienced and professional. We loved Paby, with her big smile saying 'close ur beautiful eyes yogi'. We did yin yoga, meditation and more active yoga styles. The cultural activities r great. We learned about Balinese culture during the jamu making. Budhu is very funny, his wife so kind. Food is excellent, fresh and healthy food, made with love. Through the window of our room we wake up seeing the rice fields and palm trees, hearing the sound of nature. I felt connected with nature and the people. Ariel and his staff are kind, warm and open. They have created a safe and welcoming space. We highly recommend this retreat if u r looking for peace, beauty, nature and loveable people. Ariel and his staff have turned this place into a paradise.

Wonderful experience. Fantastic group of people sharing yoga and fun times in Ubud. Basic accomodation but all that's needed. Beautiful, helpful, friendly staff. Great range of yoga instructors. Easy walk to Ubud or other restaurants, venues or places of interest. Good value for money. Will come again. Thank you Firefly

Yoga & wijde stilte

De yogalessen zijn deskundig en fijn, de workshops inspirerend en het programma biedt genoeg ruimte om echt tot jezelf te komen. Een aanrader! ✨

De omgeving voelt wijds en groots, zelfs in de kleinschaligheid van het complex.

Soms heb je niet veel nodig om groots te voelen. Alleen ruimte, stilte en een goede ademhaling.

Ich bin aus meiner comfort Zone gekommen. Ariel, die Yogateacher und das gesamte „Küchenpersonal“ waren unglaublich freundlich und haben eine familiäre und wunderschöne Atmosphäre geschaffen. Ich empfehle dieses Retreat absolut weiter, wenn man nicht auf der Suche nach Luxus, sondern Authentizität, inspirierenden Persönlichkeiten und Weiterentwicklung ist. Ich habe Freunde auf der ganzen Welt gewonnen und Erfahrungen gesammelt, die in Geld nicht aufzuwiegen sind. PS: das Essen war wirklich sehr gut.

The best thing about the Firefly retreat is definitely the people you meet and the group activities you do together. That’s the secret ingredient that makes this week so special it creates such a warm and supportive atmosphere.

The yoga and meditation sessions are really good, and the food is absolutely amazing! One unexpected highlight was getting to try something different every day it made each meal exciting.

The Balinese experience was a really fun and educational activity. Even though the schedule isn’t overly packed, the days are still full and quite demanding, so you might find you have less downtime for things like reading.

Overall, the location is stunning, but what truly makes this retreat memorable are the people the teachers, host, staff, and the group of guests and the deep sense of connection that forms throughout the week.

You can really tell that Ariel is putting a lot of effort in making this experience special for everyone and listening and improving. They have it pretty much nailed - its just my reflections.

Really good food, with fun activities such as jamu making and a cultural trip to a village . The teachers were local which was great. The location, in the rice fields but also close to Ubud and coffee places was excellent

I had an unforgettable week with lots of great memories. All the other participants were great and we made great friends. The staff are all super nice and helpful. You are very well looked after. The activities are varied and very funny.

The yoga classes were great and the instructors were very welcoming!

The absolute highlight was the food! I would go back just for that alone!

I can highly recommend it!

This yoga retreat is more than just a getaway — it’s a beautiful, gentle pause and a true reconnection with oneself. The place is magical, nestled among lush rice fields, naturally inviting calm and introspection.

Rémy and Ariel welcome you with rare kindness. They share their experience with simplicity, generosity, and deep authenticity, making each interaction rich and inspiring.

A retreat that nourishes both body and soul, in a setting so beautiful it soothes you just by being there. I leave feeling peaceful, aligned, and deeply grateful.

This retreat was great value for money - if you are looking for something more upmarket or with high accommodation standards, this won’t be for you. This retreat is all about the experience, activities, and group.

Highlights:

food was excellent. I was a little anxious about eating vegetarian food all week as my diet is usually high in protein but I have zero complaints about the food. All of it was amazing and very good portion sizes

Yoga classes were a good variety, beginner friendly while also allowing for progression and modification options. Teachers were all wonderful and engaging

Additional activities - enjoyed the excursion and the chocolate making. There was good variety and opportunity to learn more about Balinese culture

The staff! There was a lovely sense of teamwork and community at the retreat. All the activity leaders were knowledgeable and fun. It was particularly interesting hearing the different stories from people working at the retreat!

I’d recommend this retreat for anyone wanting to try something new, who enjoys being around others and values community spirit. You will learn things, you’ll calm your mind and body, and you’ll have a great time with like minded individuals!

If you looking for a great Yoga and also culural experience, this is the place.

Everything was just perfect, the rooms the staff and ostly the amazing ppl you meet.

Thank you for this wonderful experience

Remy was amazing yoga teacher and so good keeping classes and everything. Also the group made the yoga retreat so good. Without the group I think it would have been different. Also the staff was so friendly and the made us feel like home, they remembered our names and everything, so nice.

The retreat was more than I could have imagined. The Yoga and meditations made me feel super refreshed and the instructors all did a wonderful job. I feel very inspired by all of the classes. We had very diverse days and not one dull moment. I would recommend it a million times more. I can not even put into words how amazing this week was ,and hope many more people get to have an experience like this. Our group was super special and made everything even more special.

Naturgeräusche, Yoga Einheiten, gemeinsames Programm, tolles Essen

The best thing about this retreat for me has been the way in which the entire team behind Firefly welcomes and embraces you, the love, dedication and commitment to excellence is evident, and it is always accompanied by a smile from the staff.

The yoga classes are great, the nature that surrounds it, each of the activities is impeccably organized. Learning about Balinese culture from native experts is invaluable.

The food was divine, of high quality. I am not a vegetarian and in a week I did not miss meat at all. I am counting the days until I can repeat this retreat.

The participants are carefully chosen, and the Firefly team takes care to maintain a harmonious and good-vibe environment.

Very nice and lovely staff and group, nice yoga sessions for all limits, great food, relaxing and calm environment

The yoga classes, the food was amazing and staff! Very comfortable rooms and clean facilities!

The rice fields makes the experience even more peaceful! Lovely staff and very interesting workshops! The massage was amazing as well!

Yoga teachers were all awesome and very supportive!

Yoga food and activities.

This yoga retreat has a unique flavour. It is a little outside Ubud surounded by rice fields and the whole programme and the food and the get together are all so carefully composed. I had the joy overlooking the rice fields from my room and heared the ducks during the day and the frogs at night.

I enjoyed the yoga lessons, especially the ons of Pheby were unforgettable as she is such an excellent teacher and yogi herself. the breathing exercises are an asset.

Also the other cultural and cooking activities were unique, I understood so much more after the week of the hindu rituals of Bali and made new friends.

The cooking staff was amazing and so serving.

Then the lead by Ariel, who set this all up, is the heart of the matter. Together with his companionship with fellow teacher Remy they make a fine team. Ariels life story is so touching, as he survived the impossible once on the sea. I look forward to the forthcoming book.

We felt like fire flies during this week, fireflies cared for. I can recommend this retreat to anyone who likes real things, real encounters and heartfelt yogi spirit with amazing benifits of breath experiences.

Franny

Ariel, Remy and all other staff were welcoming and wonderful. At first I thought about opting for more alone time by not participating in all the activities, but they were all so well thought out and perfect for experiencing Balinese culture. The daily yoga classes were also perfect, offering different styles and accommodating all levels.

I originally chose this retreat because of the food ratings! Despite not being able to eat eggs, dairy and gluten, I'm a huge foodie and cook a lot myself, so I wanted to choose my meal-inclusive retreat carefully... and their meals did not disappoint! Their menu was full of healthy vegan & gluten-free dishes, all of which tasted great!

What was most special was bonding with the group of incredible people I met from all over the world. By the end, we were like a family, and it's all thanks to the organisers who make an effort to ensure no bad blood enters the retreat. You can rest assured you'll be surrounded by supportive, open-minded people who will enhance your retreat experience.

I had the retreat in the first week of 2025. I was expecting a wrap up for 2024 and a refreshing start of 2025, which the retreat exceeded my expectation. The retreat was well set with a fruitful program including everyday yoga sessions and local Bali cultural activities which helped bond the group.

I was impressed by the vegan food included in the retreat. There were enough options and the food was yummy to me as a non-vegan.

The staff were all very nice, that I felt being taken care of and welcomed. The location was convenient. It was just a 15-min ride from Ubud market.

What made the retreat most memorable was the group bonding. I was grateful that we had an amazing group of beautiful people. Although this was not guaranteed, the host shared previous experience that they would try best to maintain a positive vibe.

This is not a silent retreat. For those who were expecting a silent retreat, this may not be something for you. But if you are opened to meet new people, this was a good program. Of course, you also had an option to choose whether you feel comfortable to join or not to join all the activities.

Valoro muy positivamente la experiencia en su conjunto. Los hosts fueron muy amables y atentos, el lugar es justamente lo que buscaba (sitio apartado rodeado de naturaleza), los compañeros y compañeras de retiro fueron un encanto y la comida estaba buenísima (cada día podías escoger un plato distinto del menú, todo vegetariano/vegano), además de tener un coco diario y café/infusión y agua ilimitados. La habitación individual era grande, casi como un apartamento entero (tenía habitación con cama doble, salón y lavabo) con vistas a la piscina y los arrozales, siempre con patitos caminando por allí y luciérnagas y ranas por la noche.

Las actividades fueron muy enriquecedoras, tanto las excursiones como las clases de cocina. El último día, entre todos los compañeros decidimos ir a la Pirámides de Chi.

Ariel and Remy, the hosts, were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and full of humor that instantly put everyone at ease. Their commitment to creating a safe and friendly group environment was evident and made the retreat feel like a home away from home.

A lot of thought clearly went into creating a balanced and enriching schedule. Ariel's deep knowledge of plants and herbs was fascinating, and Remy’s meditation and yoga classes were exactly what I needed to reconnect and recharge. The yoga sessions were varied and led by brilliant instructors who catered to all levels, making each class both challenging and enjoyable.

The food was another highlight—delicious, diverse, and with an incredible range of vegan options.

Fortunately, the group I was with truly made my experience unforgettable, and I’m grateful for the connections I made.

The accommodation was comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the powerful hot shower, a luxury not always guaranteed in Bali! I opted for a shared room to meet new people and was fortunate to have a lovely roommate.

All of the staff were kind, friendly, and helpful, which added to the warm atmosphere!

What is so heartwarming is that a group of strangers could come together, share meals, laughter, and truly connect. It was amazing to witness and be a part of. I'm grateful to have been a part of the experience.

I liked the staff and people the best!

The location and food was great! Pool was clean.

This week was just amazing. Ariel is very invested and really want to learn you something. Yoga lessons are good and all the other activities were just enough. It was a rwally relaxing week with lovely people. Thank you for this amazing week, highly recommend this retreat. Would love to come back!

Ariel was very welcoming and the group bonded well, despite being so different we came together to enjoy the fabulous food and yoga and interesting activities making lifelong friends.

Gevarieerde dagprogramma je leert daardoor het eiland een beetje kennen

Het eten is fantastisch, gezond en met liefde bereid, het personeel is een en al vriendelijkheid

De plek heeft een goeie energie!

Het gaat niet om luxe en de buitenkant, je kan hier goed met jezelf zitten

The retreat was good organised. A retreat with a perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

The food was a highlight-delicious,fresh and a lot of choice.

The staff was warm, friendly making the stay even more enjoyable.

I will definitely come back ❤️

It was my first yoga retreat and it were my first yoga lessons so I can not realy compare.

But from the first till the last day it was perfect! The way Ari organised this week was a big surprise. From the different yoga lessons and the pleasant teachers till the excursions and food. The accomodation was basic but there is all you need. Good bed with best view. What more can you wish for. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. For me personally I would do this yearly.

I would highly recommend this retreat. The food was amazing, staff so friendly . Remy was an amazing yoga instructor. The owner Ariel really ensures his guests have a great time with many interesting activities. They also accommodated my gluten allergy. I highly recommend this experience.

This retreat exceeded my expectations. The yoga lessons were incredible. There were many activities from which I have learned so many new things. The food was exceptional and everyone was extremely friendly. I would recommend to anyone and will to try to come back again, if I get the chance!

The yoga lessons where great, they really invest in creating a peacefully and friendly groupdynamic, the vegetarian food is amazing and the staff is really nice!

I really liked my private room, spacious and large double bed with view of the rice fields. We had a full itinerary with lots of cultural activities. My favourite was the cooking class and jamu making. I loved my Balinese massage really helped to relieve my back tension. As an extra I booked a sound healing class at the Pyramids of Chi, 20 minute walk away. Was a unique and wonderful experience. My highlight of the retreat was the people I met. We were a group from all over the world that took time to get to know each other and made true connections. The kindness I received and witness from each other has restored my faith in humanity. I would definitely book this retreat again.

Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass die Gruppe geschlossen an einem Tag ankommt und so schnell zusammen wächst und dann gemeinsam mit dem tollen Team eine ganz besonders intensive, schöne Zeit zusammen hat.

What should I say? The whole package was just amazing. The situation of the retreat, in the middle of rice fields, the amazing people of Ariel and his staff, just everything.

This is not a luxury retreat, but way above budget. In the end the vibes make the difference and they were definitely as positive as they could be.

Definitely wish to come back sometimes.

The Yoga retreat has a very thoughtful schedule. You won’t just do Yoga, but also learn a lot about Bali and its tradition. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The rooms are simple, but felt much more luxurious than I expected.

es un retiro simple pero con todo lo necesario para sentir el ambiente relajado y natural de Bali. Los trabajadores son excelentes personas; la piscina y los alrededores, donde puedes caminar, de película. Para comprar, se puede ir caminando, solo motoboy te dejan en la puerta del retiro. NOTA: si llevas maleta grande hay subidas y escaleras pero de corta distancia y es solo en ingles pero no necesitas ser avanzado para asistir.

The place has an amazing vibe, so relaxing and peaceful. At the same time I had a lot of fun. Ariel is such an amazing host, very good person inside and out 🙏 I came alone and left with many good friends...an unforgotable week. Food is heaven ❤️

this week was so good! we were a little group of 9 and could really connect. the food was delicious & the location just perfect between the ricefiels. I learned so much about yoga and the balinese culture.

De afwisseling van yoga met de verschillende workshops om het tot een ware experience te laten worden. De relaxte omgeving, de rijstvelden, de ligging van de locatie. Het is een plek om naar terug te keren.

My time at Firefly was wonderful! I loved the property, the room was small but was very clean and neat and well-maintained. It was better than I had expected. The yoga shallah and dining hall were on one side with a jungle view, whereas the pool looked out on to rice fields. It was beautiful all around. The weather wasn’t great for the week but the pool was lovely on the day that the sun was out.

The retreat was busier than I expected - there were a lot of activities, sometimes 2 a day but you could absolutely skip them if you’re not up for it. I did all of them though and enjoyed most - the Balinese cultural experience and chocolate making were my favourite. The former was a full day out and was a wonderful experience, and given that it was included in the price of the retreat, was great value for money.

Having yoga twice a day was a treat. The classes were not particularly challenging, which I didn’t mind so much but I think the instructors were catering for the group level which wasn’t experienced. It was nice to be introduced to different types of yoga (like Yin and Hatha) that I hadn’t experienced before, as I have only practiced Vinyasa.

One Balinese massage was included in the retreat which was lovely, and I got a second one the following day as it was so affordable.

Ariel is a wonderful man, the staff were amazing and overall I had an incredible experience. I am grateful to Ariel for creating this space 🙏 Great value for money, definitely recommend!

The retreat is in the most serene and beautiful location possible, which created the perfect setting to disconnect from the world and reconnect with myself. There was a perfect balance between comfort and simplicity, yoga and learning about local culture, activities and free time, and group/social time and time to spend alone. It's really clear that every aspect of the retreat was thought out to provide the best value. Especially considering that this is a budget retreat, it was a truly incredible experience. A surprise added benefit is Ariel, the manager of the retreat, who is one of the most interesting and funny people I've met.

The retreat was really memorable and I only wish it could have gone on for longer. I will definitely be returning for another round. Highly recommended for solo travellers looking for a meaningful experience and comfortable simplicity.

The retreat provided an excellent set of events including a very informative tour of a village provided by a third party. Yoga teachers were talented and let the group guide our sessions. Interacting with the other guests over a week provided a nice communal feeling where we could get to know one another.

Me encantó la estructura de la semana, tuve una experiencia inolvidable. Ariel cuida cada detalle para hacerte sentir bien, tanto las actividades como las clases de yoga fueron de gran calidad. Éramos un grupo de 9 personas de todas las edades y nacionalidades, desde los 26 hasta los 74 años, todos muy amables, fue sencillo conectar y pasar tiempo con todos. El lugar es precioso, en medio de los campos de arroz, puedes ver como los locales pasan su día a día. Muy agradecida por todo.

I liked the authentic experience, meeting like minded people from different countries, learning about Bali people and culture.

The food at Firefly was great.

The food was amazing! The yoga classes were great and catered to all levels which was nice since the majority of my group was newbies. The endless classes in between yoga were fun and a great way to get to know the others attending the retreat. My first impression of Ariel…. He seemed a little stand offish…. HOWEVER…. He was simply amazing. He shared wonderful stories with us about his life and experiences. I honestly could have listened to him talk for hours. He was very knowledgeable and cracked loads of jokes during the various classes he would teach us. I would most certainly recommend the fire fly retreat to everyone I know because it was an amazing experience for me.

The food is excellent. Room D2 was simple and nice. Staff were friendly. Yoga types were mostly yin with some Hatha and a Vinyasa, which caters well for beginners.

I loved everything about this retreat. It taught me so much about myself! This was my first solo trip ever and this retreat just made it so easy and wonderful.

I made so many friends that I will cherish forever and the staff at Firefly were amazing.

They give you a warning about the retreat not being luxurious and I must say this was rich in so many ways…from the authenticity, the culture and the people.

I came to this retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of touristy areas and this was PERFECT.

They also warn you about the bugs and before coming in this retreat I was petrified of bugs/geckos.. safe to say that I have definitely overcome that fear.

Thankful to Ariel for setting this beautiful retreat up. Twas such a treat <3

If you are a solo female traveller, this is such an affordable gem! BOOK IT NOW

The accomodation is very nice. Luxurious and light with AC and pool, located amongst rice fields in the outskirts of Ubud.

Included in the package is three meals a day. Lunch and dinner you choose a la carte from a menu and breakfast is buffert. The food is GREAT.

The holder of the retreat, Ariel, is a very interesting, funny, authentic and caring person. He held most of the workshops and I really enjoyed those.

Het vastgestelde programma maakt dat je allemaal als groep de hele week samen doet. Dat maakte de week. Je doet in principe met het hele programma mee en zo leer je iedereen kennen! De yogainstructeurs zijn goed en enthousiast en Ariel de eigenaar is geweldig!

Es war die perfekte Woche. Das essen suuper lecker! Die Aktivitäten waren genau richtig nicht zu viel nicht zu wenig. Ich habe dort mit Yoga gestartet und habe mich super wohl gefühlt. Ich spüre deutliche Veränderungen in meinem Körper und Mental. Es geht mir viel besser, Firefly war dafür eine tolle unterstüzung bei mir zu arbeiten und heilen.

Ich würde es jedem empfehlen!

I loved the structure of the retreat, the morning and evening yoga was lovely, and I liked how the evening was always yin/relaxing - needed after a whole day in the sun.

The food was incredible, I think I ate the tempeh steak about 5 times. The staff were all really helpful and lovely. The massage was so good and a really nice addition to the retreat. The rooms were also so much better than expected, really peaceful and relaxing, it was nice to listen to the animals as you fell asleep. I couldn’t recommend this retreat more, it’s incredible and such good value!

My room was large and comfortable, the food was excellent, the yoga was good and the massages great. The retreat is in the middle of the rice fields and very tranquil, while still being just a cheap 10 minute taxi ride from ubud. Arial and Remy looked after us very well and I enjoyed the cooking classes and tea tasting. It was great to meet people from all over and our diverse group blended very well, helped by the fact that we all arrived and left at the same time.

I enjoyed my stay in Firefly resort. It was very chill but scheduled well and filled up with clear day planing. As it is written in description of 7 day program you will get exactly that. I loved food choices and staff that was very polite. Yoga styles were different and for me as a beginner it was useful in order to see and experience what suits me the most. I would suggest read carefully the program and come with open mind and heart. You ll also have an opportunity to meet a lot of very nice people.

J’ai aimé le rythme des activités proposées. Les repas, le lieu.

J’ai adoré les cours de yoga de Paby et l’humour d’Ariel.

I really loved the whole week there. The yoga classes were great, the food was delicious, everyone in the group was so nice, as well as the staff. The location was so peaceful, and the rooms were really cozy. The activities outside of yoga were super interesting as well, such as the cooking classes or the excursions. I would come back in a minute and do this whole over again. This helped me so much in a lot of ways. Paybi was an amazing yoga teacher, I loved the diversity of the classes because it was well balanced. Ariel and Rémi were great with us.

Mi è piaciuto il cibo anche se era scarso spesso avevamo fame, la location la natura intorno, il servizio al ristorante, i camerieri e i cuochi Balinesi davvero gentili e di buona energia. Mi è piaciuta la degustazione di erbe . Mi sono piaciuti i due istruttori Alex è la ragazza balinese Peby molto professionali, di qualità con un ottima energia e buona vibrazione . Sempre molto gentili e cordiali . Il servizio delle pulizie molto gentili e cordiali sempre sorridenti e di buon umore . Mi è piaciuta la natura e la pace che circondava la struttura .

El retiro FireFly supero mis expectativas. Cuando llegas allí sientes que ingresas en una burbuja de paz, donde el silencio y el sonido de los animales de la zona hacen lo suyo. Realmente es un espacio donde uno puedo ir a desconectarse y reflexionar. Los profesores son varios y lo más interesante es que cada clase es diferente, así uno puede conocer los distintos tipos de yoga. Está todo muy pensado hasta el mínimo detalle. El personal es adorable, siempre dispuesto y sonriente. Las comidas que preparan son “otro nivel”: Es un manjar atrás de otro, abundante, fresco, saludable y MUY sabroso. Ariel es un fenómeno, sabe mucho sobre Bali y sobre todos los talleres que brindan. Un retiro que te permite conocer la escénica de Bali, sin lujo ni estridencias, en medio de la naturaleza, que te invita a conectar con ver la belleza en las pequeñas cosas. Ya lo extraño, sin duda repetiré. Gracias

Macarena (Argentina)

I really recommend this retreat from the bottom of my heart! <3 It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever gone for. As a female solo traveler I felt really safe there and the staff really makes sure that you got everything you need at anytime. The rooms aren’t 5 star hotel rooms but really got everything you need and are very clean. I absolutely adored that it was placed just in the middle of the rice-fields as that definitely allowed a peaceful and quit stay far away from the loud city, you could still get there easily though and everything you need is close by (supermarkets, laundry rooms, Ubud Centre). I also especially liked that this retreat offers more than only yoga such as traditional cooking classes, lots of insights into the Balinese culture, AMAZING food and obviously great yoga teachers that really made me experience yoga from a different but beautiful angle. I made a lot of new friendships and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so so much Ariel, Remy, Anni, Paby.. Firefly, I will definitely come back :)

This retreat was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever done.

I couldn't expect more, from the amazing healthy food to the well organized schedule with excursion, cooking classes and yoga sessions.

I was very satisfied of the different styles we tried and the instructors were all amazing.

I highly recommend this retreat.

Everything! The yoga sessions were varied and

I was able to participate in all classes. There were several food choices for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The meals were well prepared & the presentation was excellent! The entire place was very clean which was very important to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking classes, the chocolate making class, the Balinese experience, the entire day was epic! Most of all the group was an absolute pleasure. Our last night together was memorable.

Food was amazing, yoga fellowship was great, instructors were wonderful, pool is nice.

Helpful people. It was a great experience

The location is peaceful and relaxing. Close enough to Ubud that you can visit if desired. My husband and I preferred just staying at the resort. The activities were fun and we learned a lot about Balinese culture. The food was also delicious and healthy. All the produce is washed with mineral water so no one got Bali belly. The yoga classes were challenging and relaxing; a good mix of yoga types and levels. Highly recommend!

Everything

El lugar es precioso, los chic@s que cocinan y atienden son unos amores todos,la comida espectacular, los instructores con diferentes tipos de yoga , las actividades, el masaje .... Superó cualquier espectativaque pudiera tener. GRACIAS Ariel por toda la ayuda.

If you are looking for a retreat that really fulfils all your needs, this is the place. You will have a wonderful time. Ariel is not only the owner, he also has a restaurant (wild vegan) and you will have a la card lunch and dinner. It’s so delicious. Even if they don’t have a space available in the retreat (cause they are usually fully booked) try his food anyway hahah. The rooms in the retreat are clean and bright, the beds comfy and you have a great view to the ricefields. Definitely don’t miss a swim in the beautiful pool between a yoga session and one out of so many activities he offers. In Yoga we practiced hatha, vinyasa and a lot of yin with 3 different yoga teachers. All in all, the best week I had in ubud. Would definitely recommend it.

Great place, great activities, loved the vibe!

I have never been in a yoga retreat before, but what my expectations this retreat was better than expected. The location was amazing, so quiet and cosy. The yoga studio had view to many palm trees. It was fantastic to start the days with yoga practice. I liked that we got introducert to different kinds of yoga styles. The food was lovely and the service we got was excellent.

La pluralité des enseignants, un personnel toujours présent et répondant à presque tous vos souhaits.. un nombre restreint de participants pour rester dans une ambiance de sérénité en adéquation avec l'endroit..

Nestled among rice fields, this is simply an oasis. I had a wonderful time here and met such lovely and interesting people. One yoga instructor Paby was outstanding, her passion oozed from her, offering lots of options for all levels. There were other teachers too giving us a range of methodologies. The activities were interesting chocolate making, herbal walk, cooking. The accommodation is basic, as advertised and perfectly adequate. The pool is a nice addition.Ariel the owner is such an interesting man and the staff in general were very helpful and pleasant.

Die Stimmung im Retreat war sehr positiv und angenehm. Ariel hat sehr darauf geachtet dass sich jeder wohl fühlt. Das Programm fanden wir auch sehr schön, die Yogastunden waren für Beginner aber auch Fortgeschrittene ausgelegt. Im Großen und Ganzen war es sehr entspannend trotz der vielen Aktivitäten.

It was absolutely wonderful! The activities were fun and we learned a lot about Balinese culture. The yoga classes were also good, and the food was amazing! Ariel and the staff were very nice. The location is quiet and the facilities were clean.

The experience at Firefly was incredibly healing for us! The full immersion into Balinese culture is on another level and worth every second. Informative classes and exciting schedules paired with amazing food and beautiful company was the community with a family feel that we needed. It became a home away from home and a place to make life long friends.

Ari holds the firefly community together like a family unit, and has so much passion and love for everything he does. The atmosphere of sunrises over the rice fields, morning yoga and communal breakfast buffets was super satisfying and makes you feel ready to embrace the day. The yoga classes cover different styles of yoga for all abilities and the overall knowledge taught is extensive. The menu has so many options that even with two people its hard to try it all, and you will dream about the dishes you have had. Once you leave you will already be wanting to plan another trip back to the firefly family!

Yoga and herbal medicine , tour . Traditional culture day and getting to know like minded people .

The place is in between ricefields and ypu need to walk up a small hill to get there. No cars can drive there so there is no trafic and it is really quiet. At the moment there was work going on but it did not disturb. The food was great. The excursion was wunderful and it gave a real and authentic insight in balinese culture and living. The people where all really nice and the room was beautiful.

Great value for money yoga retreat. The location is very nice and quiet. The food is healthy and delicious, and Ariel makes the activities fun and very well organized. I will definitely come back again!

- le planning est très bien, pas trop chargé pour laisser du temps libre et à la fois parfait pour nouer des liens et découvrir la culture

- le personnel entourant Ariel est adorable (mention spéciale pour Ani) et serviable à souhait

- le yoga : la pratique, la découverte, la méditation, la variété et la philosophie des intervenants

- la nourriture : très bonne, large choix de plat et organisation au top

- très bon rapport qualité/prix

las clases en general, el lugar.

The food, the staff, the place in middle of the rice fields

A wonderful experience. Meeting amazing people from different walks of life. Learning yoga from skilled and patient instructors. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly.

Yoga

Food

Es un lugar tranquilo con un ambiente relajado. El personal que trabaja ahi es muy amable y sonriente todo el tiempo.

The retreat was very nice. It's nice that you come to the retreat with a group and leave with the same people. The day is organized and there is plenty of time in between to do your own thing or to socialize. Ariel is a very interesting, calm person with a very dry sense of humor. You will definitely like it!

Todo! El lugar, la comida, las clases de yoga, el servicio, las actividades...todo fue perfecto.

I gave myself the present of a yoga retreat after 2 years of intense work. I came there for peace and silence but gained a lot more.

The programme for the week was meticulously thought out with yoga every morning at sunrise and every evening at sunset - my back never felt better. Especially yoga instructor Pepi (not sure I’m spelling it right) had an enormous impact on that journey.

Ariel, the owner of the place, was there every day and with classes in everything from chocolatemaking to local foods we were introduced to his way of experiencing Bali. Everything was a joy to be a part of.

The day trip to the family temple was one I’ll never forget with introductions to Hinduism, planting rice in their fields, watching local food making, dancing and music was one to remember. Such a lovely experience.

Furthermore FireFly has the nicest staff and their presence and way of serving us during our stay left me teary-eyed at departure. A special thanks to Aisha and Agung and everyone else in the kitchen.

I came in the hope that I would feel relaxed - and I did- but so much more than that. I met wonderful people around the world, had magnificent life changing conversations and experiences I’ll never forget.

This is worth so much more than the price and I hope that future customers will take care of that very special spirit that Ariel, the staff and the teachers created there.

Bless their souls and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Everything was well organized. The food was so good. The staff was so friendly. Ariel did a very great job. Everything was on point.

Perfect balance of exploring Balis culture, making friends and yoga!

The accommodation was beautiful, the pool was a great hangout area, all the food dishes were on point, the staff was lovely and caring. The group I was with was very chatty and amazing to get to know! Since we hungout so much, we really got to know each other quickly!

Also Ariel, the host, really well incorporated his professional skills through the chocolate workshop and the herbals tour!

Paby, one of the yoga instructors, was the sweetest soul and did the best yin, yinyang and vinyasa classes on earth!

Ubud itself is such a cute little town and directly at the monkey forest - the shuttle, organised through the retreat, helped us on the free day to explore both!

Pyramids of chi are 15 mins walk away from the retreat and definitely recommended!

Such an amazing week. Location was so lovely. I felt I was seeing the real Bali. Yoga was great. Food was great. The organised activities were great. This place is rural and a little rough around the edges but that adds to it's charm. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

Ariel was great; hugely knowledgeable and good fun. We also had a wonderful group of people who enjoyed each others' company. The village excursion was excellent, loved the cooking class, chocolate making and herbal tea tasting. Thought I was coming for the yoga but got so much more! Thank you Ariel and your wonderful team ❤️

Perfect retreat : beautiful room, excellent food, very good yoga classes, great staff, interesting activities and friendly people. I really recommend it. Thanks Ariel for everything✨

I loved waking up to the view of the rice padi fields and the pool just by it. Ariel and the staff is warm and friendly and every meal was delicious!

The variety of yoga sessions were just nice, not too hard and the Thur am meditation & sound healing session was amazing!

Everyone in the group was very open and friendly, and Ariel's story is powerfully moving & inspiring. I'm glad to have the opportunity to share this experience with this lovely group.

Highly recommended! Good hearted host with friendly staff. Perfect balanced schedule with versatile activities which include different types of yoga classes, balinese culture and cooking classes. Delicious, colourful menue to choose. Good location of the retreat with beautiful view. :)

Every single thing. That place is just magical, in the middle of rice fields. Very kind staff, everything clean. My group made me feel at home. They have different types of yoga so you can learn a lot. I hadn't practiced for a long time before the retreat but the instructors correct your postures. Ariel is such a nice guy ,don't take him too serious 😉. I give 5 stars because there aren't more.

I loved the facility, the staff, the location, the program and the great variety of workshops. Food was really innovative and delicious. Quite oily but main thing was no bali belly. So im happy with that. The balinese experience tour was a highlight and the great staff.

Thanks for this experience, I really loved it.

Really good food, wonderful people, I can totally recommend it!

This was a wonderful retreat in beautiful surroundings and with good facilities - the value for money is excellent. The staff are all helpful and kind, the food was very good, the yoga teachers were great and it was good to have a variety of styles being taught. I liked that cultural activities were included as well as yoga classes.

the activities, food and atmosphere

We had the time of our life at Firefly! Amazing group, good vibe, perfect stay. Unlike other “bubble” yoga retreats, in this case yoga was just a part of the program, with plenty of other interesting activities. The staff and Ariel treated us like family. A great experience I will never forget, thank you!

Vegan and veggie options on menu. Animal friendly

Close to forest and local rice fields. Not at all in the streets confusion. If you love nature, may love it!

The retreat was excellent! I enjoyed it a lot, even tho they say they're "budget retreat".

The program was what it was told to be. The yoga instructors were very nice and professional. Food is good and fresh. THe staff there is incredible! I enjoyed a lot and make few new good friends to continue my travelling. Even tho there's lot of things to do everyday you'll have few hours everyday as you wish.

The energy among the participants and the staff. I met so many amazing people that are my friends now.

the environment the rice field the room is bright n airy, the staff n operator are extremely nice , food is delicious too. Made friends here since the programs they offered will tied u up with others.

Todo!!. Ha sido.una experiencia entrañable e inolvidable! .El lugar, su personal, los huéspedes, la comida, la ubicación. Un espacio maravilloso para potenciar el bienestar y la armonía a través del yoga, la conexión con la naturaleza y la relaciones humanas. Gracias, volveremos y lo recomendaremos.

It was a great week! Not only the yoga, but the fact that the location was so remote was great and very relaxing. Activities besides yoga were super interesting! It was not the typical spiritual luxury yoga retreat which was great (for me)! Food was AMAZING. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Ariel was a great host and just the nicest and funniest person!

I love everything about the retreat! The environment was really serene with rice paddy fields view and the participants all wake up with a view of sunrise. The meals are vegan but were tasty & fresh since they are prepared only upon request. Yoga classes which ranged between basic & intermediate levels are fun and taught a wide range of instructors from different backgrounds. We also had different exposure to the Bali cultures by going for excursion organised by the centre and experience the preparation of Bali common dishes and herbal remedies. It was also a space for making deep connections among people as I have met participants who have became really good friends. Overall, it was a superb experience! Thank you Ariel for planning and organising such a fulfilling retreat!

The whole space was relaxing, inviting and in absolutely no way pretentious - exactly the type of place I was hoping to find. The rooms were comfortable, the food is restaurant quality and delicious, the experiences included were entertaining and the different varieties of yoga were brilliant for a first timer like me. The whole vibe of the place is perfect - Ariel has done a fantastic job setting this up with such an affordable price and I really hope to return one day!

Beautiful serene location. Great value and amazing food

All was really good.

Everything in this place is excellent.

The location is beyond beautiful: the middle of the rice fields with the river and jungle on the side of the eating area and yoga shala. The staff is wonderful. Everyone there radiates positive energy…

The food is delicious, healthy, fresh and A LOT. Activities are also on point and fun way to get a Balinese insight! Best experience in Ubud, for sure!

Owner Ariel is very helpful and friendly. He gave birthday cake to a birthday girl. Service was very good by their friendly staff. Yoga practices was good. Vegetarian meals were delicious. We enjoyed our stay at Firefly with their activities. 👍🙏

Ariel and the team are very kind, welcoming and caring. The location is between the jungle and the rice fields. The yoga classes are very good as well as the cultural activities. The rooms are good and the swimming pool too. I recommend getting with air conditioner for the bedrooms. The food is very tasty there. We come to recharge our batteries, reconnect with nature and our body for detox, less for the spiritual side. I recommend and I hope to come back one day 😄

Chill place with great service and atmosphere. Very nice activities and program as well as enough free time to spend around on our own. Perfect!

Toll Lage, schöne Zimmer, toller Pool, gutes Essen, nettes Personal,

This is the perfect rest for a backpacker on a budget that wants to experience Balinese culture in a healthy and beautiful place. I thought the setting of the retreat was gorgeous! The rooms were very comfortable, the food is delicious, and there was just the right amount of activities. There is also a really lovely group of people and I think that is the case every week. Ariel, the owner, is very welcoming, knowledgeable, hardworking, and has the most interesting background. I especially loved the cooking class and the chocolate making class.

Everything was much better than what I expected. The place is a just heaven, beautiful, nature around, calm, silent.

The food was delicious, the staff is helpful and kind. The classes were great.

I wish I could stay longer.

Do I think you should book this retreat?

*Swedish yes-inhalation*

Compared with another retreat that I also tried during my time in Ubud, in the same price range, this is by far the best one👌

Ariel is the best owner and organizer. The week l was there was so greatly organize by Ariel that l got more experience l would expected. Ariel has great communication skills and our group become friends within first day of retreat. I thank you also all stuff for every day smile, help, friendliness and food, which was amazing.

I will be back next year and l would recommend the place to anybody. Bravo Ariel for running such an amazing place.

Thank you again and see you next year

I met some lovely people, everyone starts one the same day, good location, mix of yoga and other experiences, very chilled out, great staff, relaxed owner

Everything. From the rooms to our beautiful shared home, the amazing food, carefully selected activities everything was beyond expectations. The food is actually restaurant grade, portions were well enough for me (as you eat 3 times a day and have access to tea a volonté). The area is perfect : quiet, surrounded by rice field and locals but close to the city center if you want to discover ubud. Our main host, Ariel is a gem: he can be as funny as full of wisdom without coming across as all knowing (like one of those gurus you can find in some yoga retreat). The mood was always joyous and we all got pretty close. If you travel alone or city someone you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for everything with a special thanks for Ariel, beppi (whose name I am probably butchering but I couldn’t find her in the teacher list - she was excellent), raldo and Agun and the rest of the staff.

Great location, good food, great yoga, very nice room.

Everyone here is so welcoming. We had a fabulous time from the twice daily yoga to the lovely meals to the beautiful surroundings to the Balinese massages! The ducks in the rice fields were super cute!!

The activities scheduled for us were also wonderful: a tour of a Balinese Village, cooking class, tea tasting, chocolate making and on and on! There was so much to take part in.

1/ The location was good. Not too far off town. You could easily get a Gojek. And it was a bit secluded at the same time, far away from the hustle and bustle which was what I wanted to get away from having living in the city. Perfect location.

2/ Rooms were good. Just nice for a week's stay. Overlooking the paddy fields was the best part. Serene experience.

3/ Ariel and his staff were very courteous. His staff were a joy to be with. They never said no to our requests. So humble people. Always with a smile making the retreat so pleasant.

4/ Yoga instructors- They were fantastic. The pace they did the yoga was just nice. They didn't too difficult poses. They always gave options depending on how flexible you were. Anyone from beginners to advanced would enjoy the classes here.

5/ Schedule for the retreat was not hectic. There were always breathers in between activities. Everything was just relaxing.

6/ Food was amazing. Can't stress this more. Healthy and tasty food.

Absolutely loved my experience here. Will definitely recommend this retreat. Value for money.

I loved this yoga retreat. High quality yoga teachers. Delicious food for vegetarians and vegans. Beautiful views. Ariel and his team are exceedingly generous and they make the stay a great experience. The cultural excursion, garden tour and classes offered as part of the program are awesome. I have come away from this retreat a better yogi and educated about Balinese culture! Highly recommended.

The Firefly Retreat is an oasis in the middle of rice fields close to exciting ubud. You are surrounded by the exotic nature of Bali and immediately feel at home. The staff and host are more than welcoming and try to fulfill any wish of their guests. The view out of the rooms is just stunning and the calmness of the surrounding is just ideal for a yoga retreat. Although the accommodation is no luxury resort, we didn't miss anything concerning the equipment etc. The yoga lessons take place in the outside next to a forest which has the effect that you have a natural background of water splashing, rustling leaves and animals chanting. It is the perfect place to calm down as well as to learn a lot about yoga and the balinese culture. Since there is a program which teaches you for example about chocolate or herbal teas, you will leave this place truly feeling connected to the balinese tradition. To put it in a nutshell, I couldn't imagine a better place to do a yoga retreat.

Entspannte Atmosphäre, man fühlte sich so wohl wie in einer Familie, tolle und abwechslungsreiche Yoga Einheiten 💜,

Me sorprendió muchísimo la capacidad de hacerte sentir como en casa, la calidad de la atención que reservan a cada persona. Fue mi primera experiencia de retiro de yoga y todo en inglés, todos fueron muy atentos a que me sintiera a gusto, desde los profesores de yoga hasta el personal del retiro.

Un trato familiar y acogedor.

I was the only participant on this online course. Ariel and Aldo were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The yoga lessons were excellent and varied and well explained. In the cooking lessons, Ariel took the time to explain each of the properties of the food and we made some delicious dishes. They said that because there aren't many participants they will be stopping the online course which I think is such a shame because it was incredible value and during these difficult times it enabled me to bring in a little little Balinese sunshine and exotism into my lockdown days. It is a non-profit organisation and the money made goes to help the local community. Thank you both for this great experience!

It was very nice to participate in this online retreat. Meeting lovely people with great hearts, practicing some yoga, and learning a few new recipes.

I thought this new experience was really good ...even though it was on line due to the Corona Virus lockdown ....I enjoyed the mix of Yoga with Raldo ... an excellent teacher and I learnt a lot, also found the cooking with Ariel very interesting with easy to follow tasty recipes.

Las actividades de cultura balines a fueron muy buenas para aprender. Las clases de yoga relajantes, justo para un retiro tranquilo.

Op late leeftijd onze eerste ervaring met yoga. Alles was boven verwachting, yoga, kookcursussen, massage, excursie, locatie. Een vakantie in onze vakantie.

I liked to be away from the crowds, surrounded by rice fields and forests. The staff was very nice, they even remembered the name of each of us. The included message was good and the cooking classes were awesome too.

I loved the location of the retreat. It was amongst rice fields and farms and it was very quiet and beautiful. It was just out of the way but also about a 15 min drive to the centre area of Ubud so it was accessible to get to restaurants and shopping. The food was also delicious, a great menu of vegetarian dishes to choose from. All of the staff are lovely and so kind/helpful. The yoga teachers were also great and helpful especially since I was a beginner to yoga. I also really enjoyed the Ubud day trip experience where we visited a primary school, a temple and ate some traditional food. The cooking classes were also great- we learned how to make jackfruit curry and chocolate!

Ariel and staff were kind accommodating and very well organised. Good variety in the yoga classes by a number of different teachers. A good selection of fun activities and a great massage. Located a bit outside of town in a nice tranquil beautiful setting but also close enough to town if you wanted to get there. Rooms and food were also really good.

De kwaliteit van de yoga lessen, de mooie ligging, goede bedden, vriendelijk personeel, gastheer met droge humor en is een wandelende Wikipedia ;p, leuke workshops en goede excursies. Waar voor je geld!

Ariel and his team made every effort to create a unique yoga experience at this retreat. The rooms were very comfortable, large and with air con. The views to the rice fields stunning, specially from the swimming pool. There was a range of yoga instructors, all of them experienced and able to offer different yoga styles. The additional activities in the schedule were really enjoyable, including the massage. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, and fun to talk to.

Overall, great value for money and would definitely recommend to other travellers.

I likes my room and all the additional activities Ariel organised.

I also love that it’s a not for profit business and part of my money goes to support education for under privileged children

I really like the food, room, pool, activity, teachers, staffs and Ariel!

Peaceful attractive surroundings, good location, friendly staff and well organised yoga sessions.

I liked the people I met.

What I like best was the people who served us in the resort. 100% helpful kind & all out support to our needs.

Yoga

Location,program,massages,workshops and the simplicity of managing this retreat was just wonderful.I liked it all.

The food was delicious and staff was nice and polite.Location close to the jungle and rice fields is just amazing.

Thank you for everything and I wish you lots of nice groups on Yoga retreat

Very good classes, really nice place, good atmosphere, and everything worked as expected.

I really enjoyed my yoga retreat at Firefly resort. The place is beautiful, in the middle of the rice fields, very peaceful. The yoga was perfect for me, twice a day with two different teachers. And the owner super nice and interesting. As well as the staff :)

Thank you Ariel

The other guests have now become friends I suspect for life. The staff were so friendly! We all banned together for a group tip for them at the end. The retreat owner (thinks he’s a comedian) but a charming astrophysicist who showed us the stars and we got to look through a powerful telescope. The yoga classes were good and introduced a great variety of yin, flow, acro, restorative .. great for only a 7 day yoga retreat!!

Thanks for the memories Firefly!!

The atmosphere and the people I met. Ariel, that host was very entertaining and helpful and funny!

I love the Bali experience and the massage that was included. It was a fantastic week which I will remember forever

The staff and the food the yoga training everything it was incredible. Ariel, Mosh, Isa, Agoon, Jaime and all the staff at this retreat take good care of you and are all so, so, so Kind I will be booking to go again this August. I met amazing friends and came away feeling like a new person thank you Firefly for giving me the most amazing memories. - John Magee

I enjoyed one week of simple life, away of perky comfort, and fully connected with nature. This is an ideal place to switch off, relax the body, clean the mind and delight the soul. Yoga classes were a revelation about what my body is able to do, when I have trust. Magical places are the pool and restaurant, where we've enjoyed the tasty foods and fresh drinks, we've connected with people allover the world, we've shared experiences, stories and information, we've become friends and we've grown a lot together.

This place has a good energy, caring and warm people - thank you, guys, for the awesome experience!

The guy who runs the resort is hilarious and very informative. His sense of humour is just what the place needs.

The food was amazing and the swimming pool was everything. The swimming pool and the dinning area was the social places where we would socialise and get to know each other better.

The retreat is located in the beautiful rice fields of Ubud which means you get the chance to disconnect from the craziness of the city.

You will find a special bond with the people that show up on the retreat and it might be one of the greatest things you do for yourself.

I loved everything about this retreat. From the staff (Ariel, Agun and Isa) to the amazing yoga instructor Jaime. I became so engrossed in yoga never having done it before to now eager to return home and carry it on. Jaime’s instruction on yoga and teaching was second to none. I was made to feel at home in this retreat and feeling like family to everyone I had met and the food was incredible. I highly recommend this trip.

I love the breakfast!!! Food was really good and the coconut given everyday was very fresh.

Everything was just what I expected even more . This secluded amazing retreat gave you everything you needed to stay in peace and comfortable during your stay and after your stay . The owner Ariel was a very interesting person that offered great workshops for us from cooking, making chocolate and traveling to the space .he designed a balanced vegan/vegetarian diet with lots of fruits and vegetables . James the Yoga teacher was wonderful teaching different styles of yoga . The staff were supper friendly . I recommend this budget yoga retreat to everyone . 👍

Jamie, the yoga teacher, is an amazing person and teacher. Learnt so much had a great time with him and the other guests. Service great and the food is really nice. beautiful location and within walking distance of Ubud. (the walk on the other side of the river is beautiful to walk to town!)

The yoga with Jamie was excellent, the staff super nice and the location beautiful. We also meet some amazing people!

Arial the owner was profuse as well as funny and i would recommend him to all you girls as well as Jaime the aussie ex gridiron yogi disciplinarian.Apologies from an old dude who enjoyed it immensely. The group was great, all nationalities including two canucks who Ill see in due course

This retreat was really well balanced. A nice vigorous yoga practice in the morning, usually some activity in the day, then a slow yin practice in the evening. The yoga teacher was great, and the activities we did were fun. The cooking classes were very nice as well. For the amount we did in a week, there was still plenty of free time to explore, or just chill by the pool. I really don't think you can beat this retreat with the price. I also like how it starts at the same time for everyone in the group, so you get a chance to really meet and get to know the other retreat goers. It was nice being away from town, in a very beautiful area. And you could still have a nice walk to Ubud center in about 30 minutes. Oh and the food was really good as well.

From the moment i arrived i fell in love with this place. The location on the rice fields and jungle was so serene. My room was comfortable and spacious (even had its own downstairs lounge area and fridge - i selected air con private single room). I awoke to the most beautiful sunrise each day and had the pleasure of doing yoga on the edge of the jungle, accompanied by the wonderful sounds of nature. Our yoga teacher Jaimie was one of the best I've come across. His friendly attitude and varied teaching kept the classes interesting and fun. The food here surpassed all expectations. Utterly delicious locally sourced produce (the tempeh steak was incredible!) the retreat included a range of activities which were all superb, from the bali experience trip to chocolate making! The ambiance and pool area were so relaxing, perfect to reset and recharge. Ubud town centre was only a 30min walk away or a 5 min taxi. A brilliant location, especially as the Pyramids of Chi were only 15min walk away!! (a must visit whilst you're there!) the staff were friendly and helpful and the included massage fantastic! I wish i was still there and will 100% be returning. Thank you for everything. Namaste!

Everything was just perfect 🙏🏼

The location

The yoga class

The food

And all the staff were so nice and helpful.

I loved the food, the green nature around the place, the swiming pool. And of course our yoga teacher and doing yoga in the sunset 😁

The location is amazing and the yoga was fantastic. Jamie's classes were just what I needed

All

Das Frühstück bestand aus Pancakes, Erdnusscreme, Schokocreme, Apfel- und Ananasaufstrich, Obst, Müsli und Fruchtjoghurt.

Die Yogastunden sind durch verschiedene Lehrer aus Ubud durchgeführt worden, es gab zwar einen Plan, aber dieser ist von den Yogaformen nicht eingehalten worden. Es waren viele Sonnengrüße, Planks, Krieger und herabschauende Hunde dabei, so dass der Großteil der Gruppe (10 Personen) Schmerzen in den Handgelenken hatte. An dem Ausflugstag gab es gar kein Yoga. Der Ausflug war gut. Die zusätzlichen Angebote wie Kochen auch. Der Resortleiter hat eine Schokoladenmanufaktur in Ubud. Er hat uns gezeigt wie man Schokolade macht.

I like everything in there. I like the place, the facilities, the food, the activity specially yoga class and the people. I really had a great week in Firefly Resort. Amazing place.

Everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend this yoga retreat!

Where to start?! Everything was fantastic! The yoga classes were very good for all levels and we even got to do acro yoga. The cultural programme was super awesome- every day we did something different. And the selection was not just the standard programme. The food was super good, the pool lovely, the staff friendly. Ariel, the owner is such a genuine person and he really cares about offering a good experience for everyone. This was one of the best experiences in all of my travels in South East Asia. I loved it so much! Thank you, Ariel and team!

I met the most amazing group of people at the Firefly. The owner was highly entertaining and we got to try so many new activities including chocolate making, astronomy and we learnt how to make jack fruit curry. The tour was really interesting (apart from the visit to the primary school which felt quite uncomfortable). The accommodation was comfortable and in such a peaceful setting. The food was sooo tasty. For the price, it's amazing that all of this was included! I would definitely recommend this to people travelling on a budget.

Toda la experiencia fue fantástica y totalmente recomendable. Lo mejor, el grupo, las personas que cococes y con las que copartes una semana llena de experiencias que te llenan el alma de buenas vibraciones . El lugar donde se ubica Fairplay es simplemente maravilloso, en medio de unos campos de arroz, con unas vistas 360º espectaculares, y una calma y silencio dificiles de describir. Las habitaciones están muy bien acondicionadas, la comida es riquísima y Ariel, el propietario y fundador del espacio, es amigable, cercano y te da la mejor de las bienvenidas para que te sientas como en casa desde el primer momento, junto con el resto del equipo. Unas vacaciones de bienestar maravillosas en Ubud.

Firefly Resort ist kein Resort im üblichen Sinne, sondern eine Non Profit Organisation, die hier den Einheimischen die Möglichkeit zur Arbeit gibt. Das Geld fließt ohne Gewinn in die Gemeinschaft.

Der Ort besteht aus 4 Villen, die allesamt mal eine Restaurierung vertragen könnten. Aber tut seiner Magie keinen Abbruch, im Gegenteil, mal ohne Komfort und westlichen Standard zu leben, erdet ungemein.

Das Resort liegt irgendwo zwischen Dschungel und Reisfeldern im Niemandsland.

Also ein wundervoller Ort um mal abzuschalten und zur Ruhe zu kommen.

Morgens hört man die Hähne und Enten und abends die Frösche und Geckos.

Wir hatten täglich zwei Stunden Yoga (ausser am Ausflugstag) mit Caspian, Baby(?) und einer 3. Lehrerin deren Namen ich leider vergessen habe.

Mit Caspian haben wir sehr viel Vinyasa Yoga praktiziert, aber auch eine Stunde Acro/Partneryoga was sehr lustig war.

Er ist ein erfahrener Lehrer,der sehr viele Tipps und Korrekturen gibt. Dafür Daumen hoch !!!!

Das Essen war top, immer lecker und frisch.

The motivation he engaged with us.

The yoga resort is perfect for what you pay for it. The nicest staff ever, best food, great programm. Since its always one group per week you can come alone and leave with great friends! The yoga teacher are very good aswell.

I enjoyed the setting, the staff, all of the teaching sessions offered, the food was amazing, the other guests were so lovely, even the window to the bathroom became a source of fun. The arranged day trip was highly enjoyable and packed with new experiences and fascinating information.

Place was really amazing and perfect getaway.Food was very healthy.Staffs are all friendly.

Having an apartment/villa with tranquil views amongst real village life. The staff were warm, kind, friendly and most of all humble. The pool has Spring water, and you feel like you are right amongst the rice and corn fields.

The location is nice and the staff and yoga teacher seemed nice too.

El retiro fue genial, mucha conexión con el grupo, muchas actividades y da tiempo a todo. El personal del centro es un amor.

Repetiría sin duda.

Las instalaciones son geniales, entre arrozales, con una piscina que está súper bien para relajarse! La comida también me gustó mucho, no hay muchísima variedad pero los platos que ofrecen están muy bien, repetiría sin duda!

The daily yoga, the pool, the daily coconut, cooking activities...

The place was very nice and the food too.

Amazing yoga classes, beautiful staff and very beautiful people I met in the retreat.

I made beautiful connections! The activities were also very interesting and fun.

I absolutely recommend to visit firefly resort and Bali! ❤️

Everything (ps I am Canadian living in Malaysia)

I can't recommend this retreat enough! I wish it would have lasted longer. Located at this amazing place next to the rice fields and a small road, very peaceful. The program was perfect, getting to know the local culture and the cosmos too! In the evening you can look for the fireflies over the rice fields. Excellent value for money.

The teachers were excellent and the group of yogis I enjoyed the retreat with were amazing! The activities during the week were super nice as well.

If you are looking for a budget-friendly yoga retreat, this is a very good one.

The group was really nice, the yoga teachers were great and the balinese experience was awesome

Het verblijf bevind zich in de rijstvelden, een heerlijk rustig plekje, weg uit de drukte van Ubud. Het aanbod aan activiteiten was leuk! De eigenaar kon je altijd bereiken voor aandachtspunten.

I liked the facilities. The yoga shala was a very comfortable place to do yoga. During our stay the little creek nearby was running and made the jungle atmosphere even better. Each day for lunch and dinner we ordered food off the menu. Every day the quality was consistent and the food was very delicious. We had different yoga teachers for the different styles and because we had such a small group of people we got good advice from the teachers. I recommend this retreat.

The setting of the yoga retreat in the paddy fields. A peaceful setting outside of busy central Ubud.

Just a great atmosphere. Good location. Good instructors. The people who worked there are fantastic and Ariel the owner is a good guy. I had a great time at the retreat and would recommend to anyone.

The bed was comfy, the food - delicious and healthy, yoga was lovely. I felt so much more relaxed in my muscles after. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The owner of the resort is a very friendly guy who is easy to talk to and quite funny. The staff are incredible, very kind, and go above and beyond to help you out. I had an amazing time and 10/10 would recommend this place.

Really enjoyed the variation in the programme. I had a shared room and it was perfect with air-conditioning. The team working there are so lovely. Caspian's acro yoga class at the end of the week was an absolute highlight. I had such a lovely group to spend the week with. I would highly recommend this place for the price.

This place was amazing! Not just the quality of the yoga, but the activities organised as well. The food was lovely, the staff so friendly and Ariel who runs the place was great.

It's a basic retreat, simple rooms and facilities, but that's what I loved about it. It's out of Ubud so very quiet and relaxing. Youll have to get a taxi in if you want to visit but you may not want to leave very often. There's plenty organised and the chance to relax is irresistable. The pool is right next to the rice fields! So lovely.

It's very hard to find so make sure you follow the road straight ahead of you all the way to the end. It's worth the effort of getting there.

This retreat was the absolute highlight of my Bali stay and the yoga I practised was with top level instructors.

Highly, highly recommended.

Big thank you for Ariel, Mose, Emma, all FireFly team and my retreat group for making my stay wonderful and unfogettable experience. You all are beautiful and kind souls and I can't wait to see you again!

Resort is situated between the rice fields and jungle in amazing and very peaceful area. Yoga sessions were very professional and made in the great atmosphere. All program of the retreat was totally wonderful... awesome cooking classes, excellent Balinese experience tour, super interesting session about the astrophysics and much more.

All staff is super friendly and helpful, food was delicious, my room (had one with the AC) was awesome and the price was great for everything what was provided during my stay.

I'm highly recommending the retreat in FireFly Resort and I can't wait to be back again! :)

It was a really nice and personal retreat. The food was amazing and the yoga classes were excellent =)

Everything!!

I loved the yoga retreat, the classes and the other experiences like cooking class and the day out. People were really nice!

Food is delicious, beautiful Sunrise padi field view, value for $, Staff are friendly, beside daily yoga, we learn to cook Jackfruit curry, make chocolate, Jamu tea, and handy craft and COSMO! Lucky to have a group of Fun loving people from : Malaysia, Ireland, Austria.

Toute l’équipe attentionnée et aux petits soins de firefly. Merci encore a Ariel, Agun et Jamie.

Le cadre est magnifique et les activités prevues sont tout a fait pertinentes.

Mention spéciale a notre groupe qui est devenu une famille!

N’hésitez pas et réserver votre semaine de yoga a Firefly

The schedule was organized very thoughtfully, starting out easier and building up from there in everything- yoga, activities, spiritual and educational components. The food was varied and delicious, and definitely worked for our active lifestyle. The rooms were cozy and the bathrooms clean. I loved how balanced the retreat felt and the community we created.

I loved the location of the resort in the jungle and rice fields. It was like stepping into a totally different world! Looking out of the yoga shala into the jungle was very special. Our cohort got along very well and our instructor was passionate and matched classes to our energy. The food was delicious and the breakfast smoothie bowl bar was my favourite. It certainly helped me get out of bed for 7am yoga classes.

The place is a bit magical, in the rice fields and jungle. The activities are so fun, its near Ubud, you can also relax at the pool. The owner is so interesting and I loved the classes and philosphy of Jaime.

Yoga, great. Location, great. People from the resort, absolutely amazing. activities included, amazing.

Loved it!❤

The yoga classes were really good.

Jaime is a super talented teacher. I learned a lot from him.

The location was amazing. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Spectacular view of the rice fields. My room was very nice and cozy. The chocolate making was great - delicious.

I was a first time Yogi & anxiously booked this experience but all was soon forgotten once welcomed by Firefly staff and fellow Yogis, had a fantastic group of people staying that week, all on similar missions. Value for money, beautiful surreal location, fantastic & intelligent host Ariel and great knowledgeable yoga instructor, Jamie. Food was great considering I’m generally a non vegetarian....enjoyed the menu.

I loved just about everything about Firefly! The location was stunning, in the middle of rice paddies with the jungle right behind you. I felt at peace the moment I entered this beautiful place.

Everything from the location to the food (the breakfast is INSANE I still dream about it) and the activities including yoga are amazing. Jaime is the best yoga teacher I had and I truly grew during this week. Activities to know better about the beautiful island of Bali are great, but the best must be the amazing people that I met and connected with.

Yoga classes were great with nice balance of intensity and relaxation. Learned so much about different kinds of yoga so really great for beginners. Small class means teacher can help you with your technique more and really very supportive when he sees you trying to push for a pose but not in a very pressuring kind of way.

Ariel the owner is GREAT. Charming in a subdued sort of way and genuinely helpful, sincere and funny to boot (he's so good at faking sounding like the Wikipedia for Bali so watch out! Haha). Staff are super accommodating (if forgetful at times but hey this is Bali so just learn to roll with it!).

Finally, fantastic value for money considering food and drinks like fresh coconut water and herbal teas all included as well as a free full body massage and various other non-yoga activities like tours and cooking classes. If you want a well rounded Balinese experience with quality yoga, this is the place!

el ambiente en el retiro es muy bueno, las personas que van son sencillas y tranquilas.

las personas que trabajan en el retiro siempre estan dispuestas a ayudar.

Where do I even start? This week retreat went way beyond my expectations. I'm so happy I chose this place for my first yoga retreat. I had a life changing experience with very beautiful, loving and caring people in a peaceful and beautiful place with an absolutely mind-blowing yoga instructor - Jamie. He's like an orange of knowledge that you want to squeeze and take as much as you can with you. He has such good energy and he was always there for anyone that needed to talk. I'm so thankful for everything he shared with us. Every single class was amazing, we all came out of there with such good energy. I've never tried Yin or Nidra yoga before and I had a super interesting experience with it. At the end of the week, I felt like a new person.

About the space in itself, it's amazing! Super clean, so much light in the rooms and the times we hang by the pool were amazing. I've got my own private (amazing) room - It had a view over the rice fields and I could see the sunrise every morning from my window *.*

I participated in all the activities, which were super fun and I've got the skills now to cook a full Balinese dinner experience (including delicious chocolate for dessert :)).

Ariel, the owner and all the staff were 5*, always very helpful with everything we needed and quite funny too, especially Ariel! :)

The food was delicious, my favourite that I could not get sick of it was Tempah steak. So yummy! Next year we're all gonna be back and I can't wait to see everyone again.

My whole experience at Firefly was very positive. Ariel who owns and runs the resort was a very approachable and helpful host who made my stay lots of fun. The extra activities put on by Ariel were also loads of fun.

Jamie, our main yoga instructor was both knowledgeable, attentive to the needs of the group and just a fantastic guy. All the yoga sessions were invigorating and very enjoyable, I have a new love of Yin yoga as a result.

Also Las Vegas Lily who supported Jamie and ran some of the yoga sessions was great and introduced great variety into the yoga sessions.

But i have to say most of all I feel utterly blessed at the group I found myself in for the week, all of whom were just an amazing group of people from all over the world, it would not have been to same without any of them.

This was my first yoga retreat and it just blew me away.

I loved everything about this retreat. From the warm welcome received by Ariel, the daily beautiful yoga practices by Jamie, the very delicious meals to the new friends that I have made. This retreat is excellent value for money and I'm already recommending to everyone.

The staff is excellent. Ariel is a hands on manager and runs the place well. Customer centric and the location adds to the whole experience

This retreat exceeded my expectations. The yoga instructors were powerful guides and taught in a way that each day built on the next. The exercises we did allowed us to form deep connections with one another, observe our minds and release unwanted stored emotions. A transformational and beautiful experience. The week flew by and the place felt like home, the other participants like family.

Thank you Ariel for creating this space. Thank you Jamie, Lily and Lily for guiding us in our practice. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who were so courteous and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in having a beautiful experience amongst the rice fields and jungle of Ubud.

Also; really good value for money.

Everything was beautiful and the yoga classes were so amazing. The staff was the sweetest and they took so good care of me as I got a bit sick during the stay. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is super chilled and awesome. Really appreciate Ariel, Jamie and everyone else on the site to make my first yoga retreat experience so rad.

The activities with coco, the food, the location was really quiet so really nice to be there and have a relax time

The location was stunning - so peaceful and quiet, and yet it was a nice walk into town and across the river. For me, it was the perfect balance of scheduled activities and time for me to explore the area on my own. Jaime, our yoga instructor, was outstanding and delivered such a fantastic group programme, and he really tailored for each Individual as much as possible - his personal interest and care for each person was inspiring. I loved my accommodation and I was super comfortable and relaxed at The Firefly. All staff were welcoming and accommodating and Koko was a great guide. He took the time to explain Balinese culture and to share his passion for the beautiful natural environment.

Everything during my stay was very-well taken care of. The schedule of our week was very good, yoga in the morning and in the evening with Jamie, a very well-spoken and knowledgeable yoga teacher. I feel like in this week, I have learnt a lot more than I did during my two years of practice in a yoga studio. We have learnt and practiced different types of yoga including flow, Hatha, Vinyasa. We have talked about chakra, we did mantra chanting and breathing, of course. Besides yoga, we have been enjoying an amazing bicycle ride with Koko, learnt how to prepare food with Ariel and also learn about coffee and tea with Koko. I have enjoyed every bit of that week and everyone was just so kind. I also had some issues to connect on internet at some point and Ariel was here to help. Room was also very confortable and what a stunning place to stay in ! Also, breakfast is AWESOME. From the bottom of my heart thank you to the entire team for showing us true Bali, the tradition, the way of living, welcoming us into your homes.

Lovely quiet location amid rice fields, not far from Ubud centre. All meals provided so no need to think about next meal. Set menu to choose from, most of the meals were tasty. Balinese staff were lovely and very helpful 10/10 for them. Agung would always enquire about my daughter when she was too unwell to come down for meals, and remembered all our names from day 1 :) Koko was an entertaining tour guide. Cultural experience was excellent, the highlight of the week for me. Other activities were good too. Be prepared for a challenging bike ride..it was hard but I loved it even though I had a nasty fall. Staff were great checking on my healing which I appreciated.

Everything and everyone

Had really beautiful experience in Firefly yoga retreat.

Environment was really good for retreat and healing. Beautiful nature in the middle of the rice fields, really quiet and peaceful.

Yoga teachers were really good and I really enjoyed every workshop we had. I loved that there were activities to introduce local life.

Staff was really friendly and helpful and food was healthy and very good.

Staðsetningin sérstök og svolítil áskorun að finna staðinn, að okkar áliti er það hluti af ánægjulegri upplifun vikunnar okkur fannst við vera algjörlega afskekkt án neins áreitis. Starfsfólkið notalegt, skemmtilegt og mjög þjónustulundað, yoga kennarar mjög góðir.

Við hjónin sem erum á miðjum aldri nutum okkar vel og vorum mjög ánægð með dvölina.

everything! Ariel was very accommodating, Jamie was the best yoga teacher ive had to date, super chilled, down to earth and a great motivator, Koko, Akun and his team worked really hard to cook fantastic food and take us out on great days out! there were activities everyday, you can walk to ubud through the rice fields within 25 mins, the yoga and meditation was perfect, the food was insanely good and the setting was perfect! it is a little difficult to find but so so worth it! pure paradise! the rooms were clean, you just have to remember youre in the jungle so you have to expect some friends to visit :) and of course living up to its name... the fireflys are stunning!

This is a budget retreat but you get a lot for your money. The package includes daily activities, yoga, food, accommodation and extras like coconuts and a massage. Plus the pool made it a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Food is all vegetarian and good quality, especially the breakfast. The yoga instructors were great, and the people running the retreat, Ariel and Koko, were lovely. Overall it was very well organised, with plenty of things to do and lots of relaxation time.

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, interaction with other retreat guests :)

The staff were brilliant! Accommodating and always smiling. Lovely people.

We've seen a fair bit of the world and Bali and the location of the 'resort' is dreamlike and off the beaten track (careful with the suitcase wheels). We were excited about the opportunity of spending around NZ$1200 for accommodation, food, yoga and day excursions for 4 adults for 7 days. Seemed too good to be true but the reviews online spoke well. We were expecting something a bit tired for this price and that is fine. The employed locals were friendly and helpful. We were looking forward to escaping the rat-race, the relentless clamour for bling, and getting the opportunity to de-clutter, simplify and become more present.

I would like to start by thanking the whole resort TEAM! The owner who did an amazing job with this place, Koko, Agung, our lovely yoga instructor Laura and the the whole team behind the scene. They all created from a bunch of random girls, an amazing team with a magic atmosphere.

Now... for those reading reviews, planning to go for a yoga retreat, please remember that you should leave the “5star hotel” expectations at home!!! This retreat gives you the RIGHT AMOUNT OF EVERYTHING!

Everything is so well organized: the practice, the trips, and all other activities are amazingly combined that in your last day of your stay, you only wish for it not to end.

The Food - absolutely delicious (and i am not a vegetarian) and even if you feel like adding extra, the prices are decent and affordable, no need to worry at all! The tempe steak, was my absolute favorite dish! :)

The Staff - are so polite, attentive, friendly, and helpful. They all call you by name and that makes the whole place feel like a big family.

The Yoga instructor (Laura) - managed perfect balance in a combined group of advanced and beginners, creating “magic moments “ and a beautiful experience overall!

The owner is very funny and involved in giving everyone the best experience! The human touch is much appreciated- he even shared his personal 4G data with us when wifi was under Mantainance for a techical check. Thank you!

I definitely recommend Firefly retreat!

They was no shortage of activities at firefly. We were never bored and were always entertained. It was a good balance of activity and leisure. The food was a 10/10. It was amazing!! The location is a little remote, so walking into the city was not possible, however, we were so exhausted during our free time that we didn't want to go anywhere.

I loved the program, people, food, accomodation and everything!

The location was serene and beautiful, and the infinity pool was idyllic. The itinerary for the week was absolutely incredible and I cannot believe we were able to do everything included in the price. I loved the focus on local culture and traditions and getting to explore the area, as well.

The yoga was challenging and I really enjoyed it.

The owner and staff are absolutely amazing and clearly enjoy what they are doing here.

The breakfast was the best!

The only thing you need to know about this ‘hidden gem’ is that it actually seems hidden. The way to get to the resort is a tiny sidewalk to the right of the big house at the bottom of the hill (where there is no signage). Don’t worry- go up the hill and you will see the buildings across the rice fields when you get to the top!!

Die Yogalehrer waren sehr gut. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet.

The staff were amazing, the yoga was inspiring and fantastic. The location is breath taking and all the experiences are with the local people and in your small group, does not feel touristy at all. Thank you Koko and the firefly team!

You get to know filosof of yoga different kind of yoga forms. It's realy nice to get to know Baliculture. I love it!

Nice vibe. Nice customer care. Nice location.

The location is ideal. It is 20 minutes walk from Ubud (only 5 minutes ride if you rent a scooter - which you can rent not far from the resort for a good price). So if you want to go to Ubud you can go whenever you want, but you can also enjoy the peace and tranquility of this place, located in the beautiful ricefields.

The staff was so friendly and they made us feel confortable. They also know a lot, and the activities/excursions planned by the resorts are always interesting and fun.

I like this retreat from start, to finish. Overall a great experience. The staff members were very accommodating. Breakfast was really good, especially the home made peanut butter :)! You guys will love koko!

it have everything to offer to have a quick and effectuating recharge from busy life. the place offers tranquility in a peaceful lash-green setting, melodious sounds of the country-side, relaxing yoga practice, wholesome meals and informative excursions of the area. it is an intimate setting in a small group - simple and down back to basics... friendly and caring staff adds to the charm of the space and its surroundings

The retreat was fantastic value for the price you pay. Accomodation was basic but sufficient and they do light cleaning if needed. The food was good and I loved the breakfast buffet. Program was amazing with a great mix of schefuled activities, free time and I loved how you didn’t have to feel obligated to attend all programs scheduled. The pool around the serene setting was a win. Couldn’t say enough good things about this retreat. The retreat staff were also super friendly and helpful.

Absolutely stunning location, so quiet and peaceful. It was exactly what I was looking for in a yoga retreat.

Everything! It was so well organized and i didnt have to think at all! So well planned, and got a look into the beautiful balinese culture too

Es ist so beeindruckend was das Firefly Resort geboten hat.

Jeden Tag eine andere Aktivität und alles wurde so liebevoll gestaltet.

Jeder Tag war besonders und man hat sich rundum wohl gefühlt.

Die Lage ist unglaublich schön! Pure Natur und man ist mittendrin.

Die Yogastunden sind für Anfänger geeignet.

Das Program war sehr gut gestaltet, Koko, Marcia und das Gesamte Team waren sehr herzlich

Was super nice. Beautiful place perfect for enjoy the holidays and for take a break far from the routine. Really good staff, activities and the best: the food :)

This place in the middle of the rice fields are a good place to be relaxing.

Food is good, yoga instructor was really good and the rest of the activities was also good. It’s just bad they don’t clean.

And if you feel like going to Ubud center you can walk in the rice fields, it takes about 45-60min...

Sooo unglaublich liebe Leute...fühlte sich sofort willkommen...inmitten von Reisfeldern und Dschungel dieses wundervolle kleine Yogaresort...aufgeweckt vom herrlichen Sonnenaufgang den man in jedem Zimmer sieht gings morgens los mit Meditation und yoga. Das balinese experience programm war super koko führte uns mit verschiedenen Aktivitäten wie Besuch einer Schule, Fahrradtour, selbst Reis Pflanzen, Opferschälchen basteln etc in die balinesische kultur ein. Dennoch hatte man genug freie Zeit um einfach am Pool zu relaxen. Das Essen war fantastisch...

Eine wundervolle Woche mit wundervollen Menschen und Erfahrungen. Preis -Leistung Verhältnis einfach super

I like everything about my stay , an amazing place , location , staff, food, yoga instructor Marcia, everything was just excellent!

The serenity and calming aura of the retreat makes me very comfortable and relaxing. The yoga and vipasana is awesome. The staff is very friendly. Everything is just very good. If they have hammock, it would be an awesome plus.

Das Essen war super lecker, beim Mittag -und Abendessen konnte man immer zwischen vielen verschiedenen Gerichten auswählen. Morgens gibt es ein leckeres Frühstücksbuffet mit frischem Obst und selbst zubereiteten Pancakes, Müsli, Brot, Aufstriche.

Unser Zimmer war sehr schön. Groß, mit Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank. Das Kursprogramm ist sehr abwechslungsreich und bietet für jeden etwas :)

L'emplacement au calme mais à 35 minutes de marche du centre d'ubud.

La piscine et la gentillesse du staff.

Very nice location, calm and relaxed environment. Food was healthy and tasty. The Balinese experience was a really nice experience and also the bike ride was nice. I stayed in the wooden room wich was cozy but had a lot of bugs.

Overall everything is great and I had a very pleasant stay here. the location is peaceful quiet from the buzzy Ubud center but not too difficult to access, surrounded with the beautiful view of rice field and greens. All the event are really well organized with the friendly host and staff. The yoga course is more suitable for beginner in general.

I loved the location of the retreat, quiet spot in the middle of rice fields yet still close enough to Ubbud (40min walk).

We had a small group so yoga classes were personal and individually planned, the yoga instructor was great! I loved the classes and it felt like much more than just a class, it was transformative. Our small group very special and we have formed life long friendships.

The meals were on the smaller side but delicious, made from organic local ingredients.

Some of the activities felt little slow paced but that is part of the Balli experience so I still enjoyed it.

Overall, I loved every minute of my stay at this retreat.

the environment and the positive energy of all the staff, added alot to my experience.
