Guest Stories

What a beautiful place, quaint, quiet and tranquil, filled love and care. You will be at peace here. Amazing food, great atmosphere, exceptional service, you are exceptionally well looked after. Then comes the room, it is clean to the highest standard. Massage and treatment are one of the best. Big shout-out to Budiani Iluh and the entire team Zen for this amazing experience, and I would most definitely return. I loved every moment at Zen.

My special shout out to Dear Mr Mahendra Shah most humble person and beautiful caring, loving Mieky, who went above and beyond. Thank you for this beautiful experience!

I found more peace, calmness and happiness. The yoga lessons and meditations hours were very good and always guided. Zen Resort is a place to relaxed and find your inner peace. The ayurvedic healthy treatments helps me to coming well. The lady's in the spa were very good and always kind and lovely. The treatments are individually for everybody.

Also the food was very delicious and also very good for me as a vegan. All workers in the Resort are helpfully, kind and very friendly. A very special thing there is the creativity with many flowers it was fantastic to see this wonderful buildings everywhere on the floor or on the table like in a dream.

I say so much thank you to all of you. I will never forget you.

This is where Ayurveda truly comes to life: from personally tailored treatments to heavenly four-hand massages that transport you to another realm. The morning meditations and gentle yoga classes are accessible for all levels and help you reconnect with your body and spirit.

What truly stands out is the food — nourishing meals made from the freshest ingredients, grown right on the resort's own land, prepared with love and attention to detail. It's food that truly heals.

Zen Resort is also a perfect location for retreats, especially sound healing journeys. The peaceful, harmonious atmosphere allows sound to resonate in deep and transformative ways. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking deep restoration, inspiration, and a return to their true self.

Zen Resort Bali is truly a hidden gem — a place filled with peace, serenity, and an almost magical atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, you feel that this is not just a resort, but a sanctuary where everything is designed to nurture both body and mind.

The setting is simply paradisiacal, but what makes this place truly exceptional is the people. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and highly professional. They go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome — so much so that you quickly feel like part of a big, caring family.

The diving team is extremely competent, attentive, and reassuring. They take you to some of the most beautiful dive sites while ensuring a calm, safe, and enjoyable experience at all times.

What truly sets this place apart — and something every diver should experience at least once — is the unique combination of diving with yoga and pranayama breathing exercises. After each dive, guests are offered a post-dive pranayama session, which is simply incredible. It enhances relaxation, awareness, and creates a deeper connection with the whole experience.

The spa is also wonderful, and the massages are exactly what you need after a day of diving — deeply relaxing and restorative. The food is both healthy and absolutely delicious, adding to the overall sense of well-being.

Zen Resort Bali is one of those rare places you almost want to keep secret, just for yourself and your loved ones. But at the same time, you feel it is too special not to share.

It was not the usual check-in as a guest where you're a room number. From pick up to drop off, I felt like I was at home with family. As soon as you arrive, all the team knows your name, your schedule and what's planned for you — you can let go of everything because everything is taken care of. I never disconnected so quickly.

We don't mention days over here when speaking with fellow guests, we speak about "I think I've arrived the day before yesterday or something like that"… That's how much you lose track of time.

I had a 5-day itinerary filled with treatments, meditation, yoga and diving. As I arrived late on my first day, the agenda was already compromised, but guess what — as I arrived, the team had already organised everything to adjust and make sure I was not going to miss out on anything that was planned. The service is beyond exceptional… it's all about anticipation and genuine care.

SPA treatments menu is incredible, and the therapists are by far some of the best I've seen. Treatments will leave you speechless.

Yoga and meditation: great practices — care is poured into the practice, here to go at your own pace. You will progress and learn a lot about breathing and how to improve your whole self overall.

My diving experience at Zen is by far the best I could have hoped for. Gede the dive master is patient, experienced and knows the area like the top of his hand. You may be surprised to see "4am departure" on your schedule and feel like "where is my lazy morning vacation time" but trust the process. Seeing my first sharks and giant turtle was just the cherry on the cake.

Don't make the same mistake as me — stay at least a week, three if you can.

It was amazing how I was planning just to travel to Bali and from one place to another something bigger than me guided me to Zen Resort Bali.

The food — the most healthy and delicious food ever — the excursions and of course the amazing service from all staff. Loved all the places where I practiced diving. My guide had all the experience and gave me lots of confidence… that much that I want to go back to keep practicing.

I didn't have any expectation and I was surprised from the moment I stepped the resort. I'm also grateful that everything I practiced there and all therapies helped me to release all the tension and stress from work and the long trip.

Zen Resort Bali isn't just a destination — it's a transformational experience.

The setting is stunning: perched above the ocean, surrounded by lush greenery and sacred energy. Every element of the resort feels intentional and healing — from the nourishing meals to the sunrise yoga, Ayurvedic treatments, and the magical tree that feels like it breathes with you.

This is a place where rest becomes sacred, where you reconnect to your truest self, and where every detail invites you to soften, release, and expand. I've never experienced this level of care anywhere else in the world.

If you're craving true restoration — not just for your body, but your soul — Zen Resort will meet you there and gently guide you home to yourself.

I will return, again and again.

Room tip: be prepared to be in awe the whole time. Spend time with the magical tree… when you know you know.

I cannot recommend this Ayurvedic spa retreat highly enough. Situated on a Shiva line, there is great healing to be found in the energy here, which is the reason the remarkable owner, dedicated to sustainability, built Zen here.

The incredible staff feel like family, and make it feel like coming home. The Ayurvedic treatments, most with two or more therapists, transform both body and mind. These are true healing treatments, with incredibly learned and skilled therapists that work in absolute, perfect harmony. Delicious Ayurvedic food and drink prepared specifically for your Dosha needs, assessed by the on-site Ayurvedic Dr, and twice daily yoga classes, as well as meditation and breathing classes start and complete the day.

Wandering the lush, sprawling grounds filled with fountains, flowers and fruiting trees feels like a form of meditation. Under one of the largest trees, whose roots envelop you like an embrace, is a meditation area that seems to read your soul and gives you exactly what it is you need in that moment. Quite extraordinary.

There are flowers everywhere you look, including the foot baths before every spa treatment, and arranged in beautiful designs or to spell out words of farewell, love and gratitude. The pool is filled from a nearby spring, blessed as holy water — it's remarkably soft water with incredible qualities.

I went through a rebirthing experience I initially had some trepidation about, and which was nothing short of transformative.

It has taken some time since my trip to truly integrate my time there, and the subsequent powerful internal shifting and change. I will be back in the not-too-distant future.

I have seen many places on this earth inclusive Resorts, Retreats, Yoga, Ayurveda. This place is pure magic and self-healing.

Zen Team always know what their guests need. Everyone at the Resort is always smiling, work with pure love and help the guests with their heart. They mean what they do, say and their smile, pure honesty. They love seeing their guests relaxing, enjoying, growing.

This place cannot be described as it is more than beautiful, which you can only feel here. I will never forget the experience at Zen Resort and for me the only place to be on Bali is the Zen Resort. Looking forward so much to coming back.
