The Joy Professionals
Quick to smile and easy to laugh, the Balinese are experts at living a life of joy and fulfillment. They live in the moment, neither regretting past events nor vexing on what has yet to happen.
Perhaps nowhere else on Earth lives a better example of truly living in a joyful state than in Bali. Life here is interwoven with spirituality, delight in daily rituals and appreciation for all surrounding them.
We live, work, play and grow in harmony with our local community, the people of Sukawati village. Their support and encouragement for Floating Leaf was a driving force in our development and we involve the community in deciding exactly which philanthropic efforts will be of most help and interest to them.
Floating Leaf Eco-Retreat believes in full transparency. The “++” that you will see for all hotels in Bali, and throughout Asia, refers to a government mandatory tax and service charge. Please be aware of this when comparing prices as some retreats will not disclose this information and can inflate this charge up to 40% in hidden costs.
Our policy is to be open and upfront and explain that the “++” at Floating Leaf is the minimum additional 21%. Your non-refundable non-transferable deposit secures your spot on this Bali retreat. Please be sure to read our complete terms and conditions. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you to Bali and Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat.
