Soulshine Bali, your Yoga Retreat Hotel in Ubud

We visited Bali in September of 2019 and the most common question everybody does is where to stay in the island. The first thing you must have in mind is that Bali is really huge and that you probably will take a long time to go from one place to another. Besides the main attractions be far away from each other, in Bali the traffic is chaotic. So the best advice is to hire a local guide to take you on the trips. We did all our tours with the travel agency Onmywaytobali and we strongly recommend it. They made us a detailed itinerary and took us to all of our tours.

Bali is famous for its many lovely rice fields, beaches, mountains, forests, waterfalls, swings, Hindu ceremonies and Hindu temples. Traditional dance and Surf Championship are also very popular. Besides, the island is also desired for its yoga retreats. And a hotel that is the face of Bali, considered an Oasis of Yoga surrounded by Ubud’s ancient rice terraces, is Soulshine Bali.

Nothing compares to Ubud’s energy. Ubud is magical and it became one of the most preferred regions to stay in Bali among the tourists. In Ubud the hotels transmit an incredible peace and are surrounded by beautiful rice fields, temples, forests, waterfalls and yoga’s centers, being one of the most aimed regions to book a hotel. Travellers go to Ubud to have an unique experience and to stay literally in the middle of the jungle. It’s simply amazing!

So, the first tip to choose a hotel in Bali is to prioritize the areas below Ubud. Ubud stays basically in the center of the island, north to the capital Dempasar and it’s considered Bali’s cultural heart. We don’t recommend you to stay in the north of Bali, because most attractions and the best beaches stay in the south. And like I said before, you take much time going from one place to another.

The second tip to book a room in Bali is to choose more than one region to stay, because every part of the island seems to be a different city. Ubud (our preferred one) is totally different from Seminyak, which is completely different from Canggu and etc. So I would choose at least 2 different “cities” to stay in Bali. Definitely, the first one would be Ubud. You can’t leave Indonesia without living the magical experience of Ubud. If you are looking for peace and calmness, then Ubud is the right place for you. The area is rich in culture and it’s surrounded by an amazing landscape.

Finally, the third advice to find a hotel in Bali is to search for good references and take a look at the evaluations on sites like TripAdvisor, Booking and Hotels.com because they are reviewed by regular travellers like you and me and from them you can have a real idea of how your stay will be. And a very well reviewed hotel in Ubud is Soulshine Bali.

Our room was located in the upper floor and had a very beautiful view. Soulshine Bali is a very charming hotel. We loved everything about it! The rooms and all areas of the hotel are simply amazing!

Standard Soul Room

The suites and their decoration really enchant you. Besides, the bed is really comfortable, allowing you to have a very nice night of sleep. In a business or vacation trip you need to sleep very well, specially after a tiring day visiting many tourist attractions in the island. Otherwise, on the next day you will still be exhausted.
