8 Day Yoga Retreat at Ocean Mantra Village, Bali & Sumbawa

No neighbors. No city noise. No traffic. Just you and nature.

Ocean Mantra Village sits alone on a cliff in East Sumbawa, between two deserted beaches where the sea stays calm and swimmable all year. Every bungalow and glamping unit looks straight out at the ocean. This is not a hotel that hosts retreats now and then: it was built as a retreat centre by people who have run retreats for years, and the daily practice is led by teachers with more than ten years of experience. Your days move between yoga, meditation and our signature underwater meditation, a gentle practice that grew out of freediving.

Bali is part of the journey, not a stopover to get through. You land, we meet you, and you spend your first night at Patra Bali Resort, old-Bali elegance right on the beach and minutes from the airport. By the time you fly on to Sumbawa the next morning, the jet lag is behind you and you arrive ready for the retreat itself.

This retreat is designed for travellers who want the stillness of a secluded oceanfront retreat without the stress of getting there. Every journey to Sumbawa passes through Bali — so that is where we begin, and we take care of everything for you.

Your first night is spent at the beachfront Patra Bali Resort, a classic Balinese hotel just minutes from the airport. We meet you on arrival and transfer you to the hotel, where you can rest, swim and watch the sunset over the ocean after your flight. Breakfast is included. The next morning, we take you back to the airport for your short 1-hour flight to Bima, where our driver meets you for a private transfer to Ocean Mantra Village in East Sumbawa.

Set above a calm bay between two untouched beaches, the retreat offers complete seclusion, uninterrupted ocean views, and space to reconnect with yourself away from the noise of everyday life.

Each day at Ocean Mantra Village follows a gentle rhythm of morning meditation, active yoga, guided underwater meditation, restorative yoga, evening meditation, and unhurried time in nature. Mindful freediving is approached without competition or pressure. No previous experience is required. The focus is on relaxation, breath awareness, trust, and presence in the water.

Between practices, you can swim, snorkel on the living house reef, rest beside the infinity pool, walk to the beaches, read, journal, or simply listen to the ocean. In the evening, Night Pool Magic invites you to experience underwater music that can only be heard beneath the surface.

During your stay at Ocean Mantra Village, you will be cared for with freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is vegetarian-based and complemented by fresh local seafood, with fruit, drinking water, teas, and selected non-alcoholic drinks available throughout the day.

The short stop in Bali lets you arrive gently, recover from your flight and begin your time at Ocean Mantra already relaxed.

By the end of the journey, you may feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself. You will return home not only rested, but with a deeper awareness of your body, breath, emotions, and inner rhythm — carrying the stillness of the ocean into the next chapter of your life.
