sukhavati retreat villa

Br Bebengan, Tangeb Abianbase Mengwi, Badung 80351 Bali - Indonesia

In Sukhavati Retreat Villa we have attempted to create an environment favorable to an awareness of this spiritual ideal, a sacred place where the bodhisattva's peace of mind comes as effortlessly and surely as the leaves which fall from the ancient Taap trees surrounding the property.

For decades Bali's rich Hindu culture has lured travelers and seekers from around the world, people in search of the physical and spiritual nourishment such a paradise can provide. With its Buddhist inspired vision and existence within a traditional and deeply spiritual Balinese village, Sukhavati Retreat aims to take you to the very heart of that paradise.
