Four steps from your first message to your group’s arrival in Bali. We keep the process honest and personal, no templates, no pressure.

  • 01 Enquire

    Send Your Enquiry

    Use the form above, write to contact@samadhiyogaashram.com or call +62 813 2881 810. Tell us your dates, group size and the shape of the retreat. Our Ubud team replies on Bali time (WITA, GMT+8).

  • 02 Proposal

    Receive a Custom Proposal

    Within 48 hours you receive an itemised proposal: the room mix on the Ubud campus, open-air shala availability, the plant-based meal plan and any add-on sessions, each line priced on its own.

  • 03 Confirm

    Confirm & Deposit

    A 30% deposit secures your dates. We then lock the schedule, menus and room allocation, and time the Ngurah Rai transfers around your arrival window so the group avoids Denpasar rush hour. No second group shares the campus with you.

  • 04 Arrive

    Arrive & Teach

    Your group arrives and the ground operation becomes ours. You teach; we handle rooms, meals, transport and whatever the day throws up. Most hosts say the surprise is how little they end up having to think about.

What Sets Our Retreat Hosting Apart

The Samadhi Edge for Retreat Leaders

Where you host shapes everything about how the retreat lands for your participants. Here is what a dedicated Ubud campus gives you that a villa rental cannot.

Exclusive Campus Use

The campus is yours alone for the length of the booking. No second retreat, no hotel guests wandering through a session. In a part of Ubud where most venues keep selling rooms alongside your group, that exclusivity is the thing hosts notice first.

Ubud: A Setting That Does the Work

Rice terraces, tropical birdsong, ancient temples nearby and the spiritual energy of an island that has drawn seekers for generations. You do not need to warm up an atmosphere here. Your group arrives already softened.

Operational Experience, Zero Hassle

Samadhi has hosted international groups for more than fifteen years, and the Ubud campus is run by that same operation. Locally it means staff who treat humidity, tropical downpours and Denpasar traffic as routine rather than as emergencies.

Flexible Around Your Vision

You teach; we operate. Some hosts want only a shala, meals and silence. Others build in our E-RYT faculty for pranayama or sound work, a Melukat blessing, or a temple morning. Nothing is imposed and nothing is bundled in unless you ask for it.

Two Campuses, One Team

Bali or Rishikesh: Which Campus Suits Your Group?

We host retreats at both campuses on identical terms: exclusive use, your schedule, our operation, the same 30% deposit and the same 48-hour proposal. What actually differs is the climate, the cost per head and how easily your group can reach the gate. Here is the straight comparison.

Ubud, Bali — this campus

Everything above: open-air shalas in the hills outside Ubud, a plant-based kitchen, rice terraces and warmth enough to practise outdoors all year. It is the easier arrival for groups coming from Australia, Southeast Asia or the US west coast, Visa on Arrival covers around 97 nationalities, and Ngurah Rai is 45 to 90 minutes away.

The trade-off is cost and season. Bali runs higher per head than Rishikesh, the wet season spans November to March, and Nyepi shuts the island for a full 24 hours each year, which you either plan around or deliberately build your silent day upon.

Rishikesh, India

Our original campus sits at Laxman Jhula, 300 metres from the Ganga with the Himalayan foothills behind it. The setting carries a weight that Bali does not try to imitate, and it suits groups whose retreat leans toward philosophy, pranayama or classical practice. It is also the more affordable of the two per head, and the e-Tourist Visa covers more than 180 nationalities.

The trade-off is access and climate: many groups route via Delhi and a long drive, winter mornings are cold, and the monsoon runs July to September. See hosting at our Rishikesh ashram.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs: Hosting a Retreat at Samadhi Yoga Ashram, Bali

Our Ubud campus comfortably hosts groups of 6 to 40 participants. Below 6 we look at it case by case, depending on your dates and how the rooms fall. Above 40, contact us directly and we will tell you honestly what the campus can and cannot absorb.

Bring your own. The teaching is yours and we do not interfere with it. If you want to add a session, our Bali faculty can cover pranayama, Ayurveda, sound healing or Balinese movement traditions, but that is entirely optional and only ever at your request.

A 30% deposit confirms your dates. It is non-refundable if you cancel, but it is transferable: give us 60 days’ notice and we will move it to new dates, subject to availability. The balance is due 30 days before arrival. Dry-season dates (April to October) and the weeks either side of Nyepi book out first, so the earlier you commit, the more room we have to be flexible.

Yes, completely. We do not run two retreats at once and we do not sell rooms to walk-in guests while you are here. The shalas, the gardens and the dining pavilion are yours for the length of your booking.

Our kitchen is plant-forward and built around Balinese and Indonesian produce: tempeh, jackfruit, local greens and tropical fruit grown close to the campus. Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and specific allergies are handled at no extra cost. Send us the list when you confirm and we will build the menu around it.

Fully. You send us the timetable you want to run and we build the operation around it. Sunrise practice before the heat, a long midday break, an evening session once the light softens: that rhythm works well in Ubud, but it is a suggestion, not a template.

Three nights is our minimum. Most groups run 5, 7 or 14 nights. For a first Bali retreat we would gently suggest 7, because it gives your group a day to clear the flight and land in their bodies before you start asking anything of them.

Three to six months for most dates, and earlier for July, August or the Christmas and New Year window, which are the busiest weeks on the island. If your dates fall near Nyepi (Balinese New Year, 8 March in 2027), talk to us early so we can plan arrival and departure days around the island shutdown.

Yes, we provide them. Our shalas are stocked with mats, bolsters, blocks, straps and meditation cushions, all maintained for humidity, which matters more in Bali than most people expect. Your participants only need to bring themselves.

Nyepi is the Balinese Day of Silence, and in 2027 it falls on Monday 8 March. For 24 hours the entire island stops: no travel, no lights after dark, no work, and Ngurah Rai airport closes completely. Groups already on campus stay on campus. We prepare food in advance and hold the day with your group.

If you are running a silent or contemplative retreat, this is the most powerful single day you can build a Bali itinerary around. There is nowhere else in the world where an entire island holds the silence with you. The one hard rule: nobody can fly in or out that day, so plan arrivals and departures with a buffer on either side.

Yes. The campus is set back from the road and our staff can hold Noble Silence for the whole of your stay: meals served without conversation, signage in place, no unnecessary interruptions. Silent, Ayurvedic, wellness and ecology-focused retreats all work here, not only asana-led ones.

On request, yes. We can feature your retreat to our international audience of practitioners and teachers through our website and social channels, and we will supply campus photography, location details and facility specifications for your own marketing. We do not take a commission on your bookings for this.

Yes, and we would encourage it. A Melukat water-purification blessing at a local spring temple is the one most groups choose. We can also arrange kirtan with Balinese musicians, a Canang Sari offering workshop, or a guided visit to a working temple. These are arranged through people we have long relationships with, not through tourist operators.

We arrange them and you pay the transport cost directly, with nothing added on top. Ngurah Rai (DPS) to our campus is roughly 45 to 90 minutes depending on the hour. Arrivals between 7am and 9am or 4pm and 7pm can stretch to two or three hours in Denpasar traffic, so if your group is landing together we will suggest a window that avoids the worst of it. Send us the flight manifest once your group is ticketed.

Most nationalities enter Indonesia on a Visa on Arrival or e-VOA: 30 days, extendable once for a further 30. Around 97 countries are eligible, including most of Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia. Fees and eligibility do change, so point your participants at the official Indonesian immigration portal rather than a third-party site. A retreat of 30 days or less needs nothing more complicated than that.

It depends on group size, room mix, how many sessions you want from our side and the time of year, so we do not publish a flat rate that would be wrong for most groups. Send us your dates and numbers and you will get an itemised proposal within 48 hours: accommodation, meals, shala time, staff and add-ons each priced separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and remove anything you do not want.

A villa gives you a building. We give you a working yoga campus with staff who have run retreats before. Purpose-built open-air shalas rather than a converted living room, a kitchen that already understands what a retreat group eats at 6am, and a team that knows what to do when someone falls ill on day three. We are a Yoga Alliance accredited school, not a holiday rental.
