Best for retreats
Our pick for a serious group of any kind — wellness brands, leadership offsites, big-family birthdays. Booked early; you'll want to lock the chef and the coordinator in before you confirm dates.
The review
Set in the hills above Ubud, Suara Estate is purpose-built for the kind of stay you can't piece together at a hotel — twelve en-suite rooms across four pavilions, a soaring open-air dining hall, and a forty-metre pool that disappears into the rice terraces below. The brief here is the gathering: wellness retreats, corporate offsites, multi-generational reunions, even small ceremonies under the trees.
Booked whole, it comes fully staffed — a chef and his team turning out three meals a day from a kitchen garden, a daily session in the bamboo yoga pavilion, and a retreat coordinator who runs the diary for you. Mornings are quiet enough to hear the river through the gorge; evenings, the cicadas and a fire on the lawn. For groups of up to twenty-four, it is among the most considered we have reviewed.
