The Shala

5 Leslie Schmidt - a month ago

Had an amazing weeklong stay at the Shala doing a personal yoga retreat. Enjoyed some creative and personalized yoga classes, skillful spa treatments and absolutely delicious food. The location couldn’t be topped, with my room tucked into the peaceful rice paddies but easy access to the bustle of Ubud! The staff are so kind and helpful. I miss the house made chocolate already!

We traveled around Indonesia for 5 weeks, and The Shala was the highlight of our stay. There are tons and tons of beautiful hidden hotels around Ubud, The Shala is one of the most beautiful we have visited. Especially that Yoga was a major part of our trip. Jero was such a great host and assisted us with everything. The food and breakfast is so rich and generous. Coffee available 24/7 and it's so tasty. The rooms are very comfortable, with A/C available. We reserved the bungalows, which were on one side of the complex. A 5 minute walk around the venue, and you find yourself in the middle of the rice fields. Been to many hotels in my life, this is one of the best places we stayed in. Super recommended!! Namaste

I spent 6 days at the hotel and is very well located. The hotel facilities are also pretty good. The spa therapists are kind and the price is reasonable. The restaurant is simply but amazing and healthy food (vegan and veg options).
I think the thing that I miss was to have more yoga classes since the hotel is a yoga retreat doesn’t have a lot of classes. Also another thing that could be deal breaker is the walking that you could make from reception to the hotel rooms/main restaurante (sound 7 min). However, for that case, I’d recommend the bangalos.

I stayed here for a week and did the in-house yoga retreat. This place is really special I don't think the reviews do it justice. The staff is so kind and helpful, the rooms are really lovely and comfortable. Super helpful management - I needed assistance extending my visa and Jero, the manager, saw to it that I got what I needed! The food is AMAZING! Both at the kitchen and at the indian cafe, Mumbai Station, near the street. The Shala is nestled back far from the road in between lovely fields of rice patties. It is tranquil. The Yoga Shala itself is a stunning space and has a wonderful view of all the ducks that wander about the rice patties. There are also chickens and cats that wander around. The cats are residents there and are very sweet. Louisa and Nykil are the owners of the Shala and also the yoga teachers. I learned so much about the spirituality of yoga and meditation. This was very new to me but it added so much to my practice. I also had 1:1 classes that allowed me to deepen my practice and address weaknesses and tightness in my body that I hadn't before. Have I mentioned the spa yet?? AMAZING! The women who staff the spa are so lovely. They are so skilled at what they did and were so kind and warm. The Shala is located in a great part of Ubud too. Far enough away from the center full of hustle and bustle but close enough that it's easy to get there via a taxi or scooter. The whole experience is just incredible. I was sad to leave. I can't wait to go back again someday!!

Loved my stay at the Shala Bali . The property is beautiful with all amenities like pool , breakfast , yoga etc . Special mention for the amazing staff. I stayed with my mom for 4 days and the entire staff at the front desk , the shala cafe , cleaning staff made us feel so comfortable. Special mention to the Mumbai Cafe where we could enjoy Indian food - the Dosa's were yumm.. Also took the Spa and the ladies were so empathetic , professional yet warm! Highly recommended!

A quiet haven stuck away from the busy street of UBUD. The Shala is about 5 walk from the drop off point. Friendly staff are always there to assist you. Overall it was a good experience staying over 4 nights here :)

Set amidst rice paddy fields yet within easy reach to Ubud downtown, this place offer spectacular view, fresh air, tranquility, comforts, and almost all that I can expect from a perfect getaway!! I joined their regular yoga classes at Shala Devi studio, one of their yoga studio during my stay at The Shala Bali. They also operate an Ayurveda spa, which I can tell the best Shirodara treatment I ever had during my trip in Bali so far. Not to forget their healthy food, drinks and homemade cookies never let me away from their public kitchen during my entire stay!! Highly recommended!
