Are you traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles to Bali to sit in traffic, breathe polluted air and be surrounded by hordes of tourists? Areas such as Kuta, Seminyak and even Ubud have sadly become so choked with traffic, American fast food chains, and so many Westerners, there is little original Balinese culture left.

This is exactly why we chose to create Floating Leaf in a small local village amongst verdant rice fields. We work closely with the local community and subsidize farmers to help them grow organic, nutrient-rich crops free from pesticides. We offer classes in English, permaculture, arts and yoga at no charge to the warm and friendly people of our village and all Balinese. It is important to us to be a contributing member to our banjar (local community) and Bali as a whole. Without trying to sound too corny, this magical island has been so good to us, we want to give back where we can. We work with Balifornian for our custom made excursions and all of their trips involve a charitable component.

The True “Old Bali”

We enjoy living in Sukawati as it is a peaceful oasis free from the noise and air pollution found in much of South Bali. We want our guests to be able to fully relax and focus on the moment whether that is a deep yoga practice, a serene spa treatmentor just enjoying time with friends and family at our ultimate relaxation pool.

It is important to note that we are not way out in the middle of nowhere either. We are 40 minutes from Bali Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar. Just a 10 minute drive from our Bali retreat and you are in the heart of Sanur, our favorite town. Sanur features a lively nightlife, tons of shops and some of the best restaurants in all of Bali. The Balinese food is amazing from the famous crispy duck at Warung Pregina to a $1 excellent meal at Warung Jawa. It also has fantastic international food, including Japanese delights at Riyoshi (best sushi on the island) to Italian. In fact, I used to live in Italy and the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy is from The Village Restaurant in Sanur. And the best part of Sanur is you get all the comforts, nightlife, shopping, etc. that you would find in other heavily touristed areas but not the traffic and hassles. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, Sanur has one of the nicer white sand beaches in Bali (but we have even better secluded secret beaches that you will have to come with us to see for yourself).
