Nestled on the quiet beachfront of Sanur, Power of Now Oasis has been welcoming guests since 2010. Our customisable health and wellness retreats are designed to help you reset your physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing at your own pace, on your own terms.
Here are five reasons why Bali — and Sanur in particular — is the ideal place to do it.
1. Bali's Natural Beauty
There are few places on earth where the natural environment does as much of the healing work as Bali.
Terraced rice paddies climb the hillsides of Ubud. Sacred rivers weave through jungle gorges. And in Sanur, a calm coral lagoon stretches along a white-sand beachfront that feels a world away from everyday life. Practising yoga here isn't an ordinary class — it's something closer to the way yoga was always meant to feel.
At Power of Now Oasis, our purpose-built bamboo shala sits directly on the beach. You'll practice sun salutations with the morning sea breeze on your skin and settle into meditation to the sound of the tide. The setting isn't incidental — it's part of the experience.
Whether you're joining daily group yoga classes or a private session on the sand, Bali's natural world makes every practice more alive.
2. A Sanctuary of Spirituality
Bali is known as the Island of the Gods — and you feel it the moment you arrive.
Unlike many destinations where spirituality is a backdrop, in Bali it is woven into the fabric of daily life. Offerings appear on doorsteps each morning. Temple ceremonies fill the streets with incense, music, and flowers. Ancient shrines sit quietly at crossroads, on beaches, and at the edge of rice fields.
This living spiritual culture creates a unique environment for a yoga retreat. When the world around you is oriented toward the sacred, it becomes easier to turn inward — to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with something deeper than your to-do list.
During your retreat at Power of Now Oasis, you can experience this directly: through traditional Balinese water blessings, sacred temple visits, and authentic ceremonies that form a meaningful part of your time here.
3. A True Haven for Yogis
Bali has long attracted serious yoga practitioners, teachers, and wellness seekers from around the world — and the infrastructure to support them has grown to match.
At Power of Now Oasis, every yoga teacher holds professional qualifications and brings years of dedicated practice to their teaching. Our therapists, healers, and holistic practitioners are carefully chosen for their expertise and genuine care for the people they work with. There's no tokenism here — just experienced practitioners committed to your wellbeing.
Whether you're completely new to yoga or a long-time practitioner looking to deepen your practice, you'll find a class, a style, and a teacher that meets you exactly where you are. Our schedule runs across multiple yoga styles daily — from Hatha and Vinyasa to Yin, Restorative, and Bali Yoga with local teacher Mangku.
And Sanur itself reflects this spirit. The village is calm, respectful, and genuinely community-focused — a rare quality in an increasingly busy tourist island.
4. Fully Customisable Retreat Packages
Not every retreat should look the same — and at Power of Now Oasis, none of them do.
Our wellness retreat packages are built around you. After an initial conversation with our retreat coordinator Amelia, we design a program that reflects your specific goals, your schedule, and what you actually need from this time away.
The foundation of our signature retreat is a 7-day / 6-night program at Mercure Resort Sanur, including daily yoga, private sessions, spa treatments, meals, and airport transfers. From there, you can customise freely.
Popular add-ons include:
Detox, spa, and Ayurvedic treatments
Mental health support — counselling, CBT, trauma release, and life coaching
Surf and watersports packages
Jungle treks and volcano hikes
Balinese cooking classes and cultural experiences
Personal training and fitness programs
Retreats can be designed from as little as three nights, or extended to three weeks and beyond. Pricing is personalised — there's no one-size-fits-all rate, because there's no one-size-fits-all retreat. Submit an enquiry and we'll work out the details together.
5. A Living Cultural Melting Pot
A yoga retreat in Bali offers something most wellness destinations simply can't: the chance to step into a genuinely rich and living culture.
Balinese Hindu culture is one of the most distinctive in Southeast Asia. Traditional dances, intricate temple offerings, village ceremonies, and ancient healing practices aren't preserved for tourists — they're part of how people here actually live. Engaging with that culture, even briefly, adds real texture and meaning to your retreat.
During your time with us, you might visit the sacred spring at Tirta Empul for a traditional water purification ceremony, browse a local market overflowing with tropical produce and handmade textiles, join a Balinese cooking class, or simply sit with a coconut and watch the daily offerings being placed along the beach path.
These moments don't just enrich your itinerary. They shift something in how you carry yourself — a little slower, a little softer, a little more present.
Why Sanur?
Not all of Bali moves at the same pace. While other parts of the island have grown loud and crowded, Sanur has held onto its village soul.
Safe, walkable, and genuinely welcoming, it's the kind of place where the roads are quiet enough to cycle, the beaches are free from clubs and noise, and the community around you feels like it actually belongs there. It's approximately 20 minutes from the international airport — close enough to arrive without stress, far enough from the chaos to breathe.
Peaceful, grounded, and beautiful: Sanur is Bali's best-kept secret for wellness retreats. And Power of Now Oasis has been at the heart of it since 2010.
