JUNGLE RIVER RESORT
SOUTH BALI
Tucked into a deep river valley on the edge of Canggu, this 4,400 sqm boutique jungle resort sits just minutes from some of Bali's most famous surf breaks yet feels entirely removed from the coastal bustle.
The resort is built around a philosophy of eco-conscious design and holistic living.
Accommodation spans nine distinct house categories across three tiers — Villas, Bungalows, and a Private Pool Villa collection — with total of 18 rooms.
* Ideal for small to mid-size retreat groups seeking an eco-luxury jungle base in Canggu, with built-in yoga, spa, and dining — and easy access to the surf, rice fields, and cultural life of the surrounding area.

Helpful Information
Venue
The venue is approximately 10 minutes from Echo Beach and Batu Bolong surf breaks; set back from the main road within a deep river valley and tropical garden, giving the property a genuinely secluded feel despite its central Canggu location.
The resort is not exclusive-use — other guests may be staying during your retreat; shared facilities (pools, restaurant, yoga shala) are open to all guests on property at the same time.
All rooms are non-smoking.
Rooms
The nine house categories are spread across three tiers — Villas, Bungalows, and Private Pool Villas — each drawing from a distinct Indonesian architectural tradition; no two houses are identical in feel, layout, or design influence.
Villas are the largest and most characterful: Vana (90m², entire structure built from wood and decorated with archipelago artifacts, outdoor stone table for stargazing); Shambala (140m², antique Chinese and Javanese furniture, high ceilings, indoor bathtub, lush pond outside the door); Samsara (stone, wood, and rattan with prehistoric Balinese craft influence).
Bungalows offer a range of sizes and styles: Kama (rustic luxury, wooden floors and ironwood shingles); Joglo (pond streams beneath the wooden room, water sounds throughout the stay); Peranakan (two spacious oriental-styled rooms, polished cement floors); Tekuklulang (two rooms with hand-painted rustic walls, surrounded by rice paddies); Limasan (white wooden walls, post-colonial influence, spacious and airy).
Moksa Private Pool Villas (6 units, 80m² each) sit along the river edge with private pools, terrazzo bathtubs, and open-air bathrooms overlooking the river — the most immersive option for retreat leaders or VIP participants wanting complete seclusion within the property.
Facilities
Spa treatments span body massage (Relaxing Miracle, Deep Tissue, Signature, Aromatherapy, Hot Stone, Foot Reflexology), body scrubs (Javanese, Green Tea, Coconut, Boreh), facials (Aloe Vera, Organic Tropical), and holistic treatments (Shirodara, Ayurvedic Journey); all treatments can be delivered in-room, poolside, or in the garden.
Restaurant is open to outside (non-staying) guests as well as hotel guests — the dining space is not private to the retreat group unless a private arrangement is made.
24-hour front desk and security on-site.

questions
frequently asked questions
Where is the venue located, and how close is it to the beach?
The property is situated in Canggu, approximately 10 minutes from Echo Beach and Batu Bolong — two of Bali's most popular surf spots. Despite being in central Canggu, the resort sits within a deep river valley surrounded by tropical garden, giving it a secluded jungle feel.
Is the property exclusive-use for our retreat group?
No — the resort hosts individual guests alongside retreat groups. Shared facilities including the pools, yoga shala, and restaurant are open to all staying guests at the same time.
How many accommodation types are available, and which is most suitable for groups?
There are nine house categories across three tiers. The Moksa Private Pool Villas (6 units along the river edge with private pools) offer the most self-contained experience for retreat leaders or VIP participants. Villas and bungalows can be mixed to accommodate different group sizes and budget preferences.
What dining options are available on-site?
Restaurant is open daily from 7am–10pm, serving Balinese, Thai, Indonesian, and international cuisine under a traditional Joglo pavilion with garden and rice field views. Complimentary afternoon tea with herbal tea and Balinese snacks is served daily for all staying guests.
Is the restaurant private to our retreat group?
No — Rasa Restaurant is open to outside guests as well as staying guests. Private group dining arrangements can be discussed directly with the resort team.
Is there shuttle service to the beach?
Yes — a shuttle service operates to the Canggu beach area (Echo Beach, Batu Bolong, Nelayan) at an additional charge. Private transport and tours can also be arranged through the concierge team.
Which house is best for a retreat leader accommodation?
The Moksa Private Pool Villa or the Shambala Luxury Villa (140m², antique furnishings, high ceilings, indoor bathtub overlooking a pond) are the strongest options — both offer the space, privacy, and visual impact befitting a retreat leader's accommodation.
