“Among the worlds best yoga and wellness retreats.”
Why host your retreat at Floating Leaf?
…because we provide more one-on-one assistance for retreat leaders than any other Bali retreat center.

Hosting Your Retreat
The information and everything that you need to know about our retreat.
Imagine Your Retreat Selling Out
From the day we opened in 2011, we understood that the success of Floating Leaf was going to depend on the success of retreat leaders like you who bring groups to stay with us. Bali gives you everything you need to host a successful retreat, but many retreat leaders are frustrated with the lack of communication, support and resources they received at other centers.
Our retreat leaders have a higher rate of success and attendance at Floating Leaf than at any other retreat center in Bali. That’s because we provide hands-on support, not only with planning and promotion, but during the retreat so you’re never lost, never alone. Nowhere will you find a better track record of hosts who literally sell out their retreats.
We combine the services of a retreat leader coach, travel planner, retreat center, wellness center, marketing firm and more, all in one. We’re a one-stop-shop for retreat leaders, giving you everything you need for success.
Stunning Bali
Travelers come to Bali for many reasons and high on that list is the beautiful tropical climate, friendly people and enchanting culture. No society on earth is as rich with spiritual influence and dedication to daily rituals than in Bali. It’s simply a place that makes your heart shine with warm tropical memories long after you’ve returned home, leaving you inspired and uplifted.
The deep connection to the people and culture of our hosts allows you access to authentic ceremonies, healings and rituals that few westerners ever experience.
Set in a small traditional Balinese village amongst lush rice fields, Floating leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat enjoys a secluded location nestled between Sukawati Village and Purnama Beach on the eastern shore of Bali. We’re far from the clamour of tourists found in Ubud and southern Bali, yet conveniently located close to the beach, airport and other key Bali landmarks.
5-Star Eco-Luxury
Though Floating Leaf is a true eco-retreat, having used sustainable building methods and materials during construction with a continuing commitment to sustainability in all aspects of operations, we spare no detail to ensure your comfort and luxury as well.
Floating Leaf consists of 2 spa treatment centers, a large open air yoga sanctuary, a large healing pool, 12 luxurious rooms, meditation areas and delicious, healthy cuisine, but it’s really the attention to detail by our award-winning staff that sets us apart from other retreat centers. Read about our facilities here.
The Yoga Sanctuary
The Yoga Sanctuary, our 2000 square foot (186 sq meters) space can accommodate large yoga classes, lectures, performances and even weddings. It has been heralded as “Asia’s best place to practice Yoga” and offers sweeping views of Holy Mt. Agung as well as the Indian Ocean and Bali’s outer islands. To get a closer look at the Yoga Sanctuary, please go here. We can accommodate groups as large as 50 participants with non-residential guests included.
Authentic Balinese Culture
Our staff and facilities are at your service, whether you want to book regular sessions in the Yoga Sanctuary or personal spa treatments; however, Bali has so much more to offer your group.
Our deep connection to the island and people give you exclusive access to Balinese healers, cleansing ceremonies and authentic rituals. The Balians you meet with are genuine healers and make time for our guests by special request.
Visits to spiritual centers, art villages and batik makers can be added to your experiences as well as more adventurous activities such as surfing, white water rafting, snorkeling and even volcano trekking.
Since Floating Leaf gives back to the community, we are happy to add a charity element to your retreat as well. To see our full list of the activities you can add to your retreat, please go here.
Your New Friends & Partners
Your hosts, Professor Mikaku Doliveck and his wife Putu, bring a winning combination of ancient Balinese tradition and a deep understanding of western expectations to give your retreat the best of both worlds.
For retreat leaders, Mikaku and Putu go above and beyond, not only communicating well, but giving you the resources, attention and hands-on assistance you need to help make your retreat a success.

You May Be Wondering…
Is Bali safe? I heard it has a volcano.
Absolutely. Violent crime is practically non-existent among the Balinese. Indonesia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the government is stable. In 2017, volcanic Mt. Agung emitted some smoke and the nearby village of Karangasem was temporarily evacuated, but the volcano never erupted and life is back to normal in the village. Nonetheless, Floating Leaf is far away from Mt Agung and well outside the critical area.
What kind of marketing assistance do you offer?
