The details

Which retreats suit Camaya?

Camaya suits small, quiet retreats where the setting does part of the work: rice terraces on every side, open-air houses and no traffic noise.

  • Retreat types: yoga, breathwork, wellness, creative and other small-group retreats.
  • Group size: from about 6 guests (for example 3 shared houses) up to about 1 leader and 14 guests.
  • Buyouts: full buyouts are welcome but not required, so a smaller group can book only the houses it needs.
  • Houses: five two-bedroom houses for up to 4 guests each (Butterfly, Lotus, Metangi, Pyramid and Suboya), plus Santai and Sayang for 2. See all eight houses.

Who is Camaya not right for?

Camaya is not right for every group, and we would rather say so now.

  • Elderly guests or guests with limited mobility: the houses are open in design and reached by many stairs.
  • Groups expecting a 5-star hotel: Camaya is a small, nature-first stay with no air conditioning.
  • Anyone uncomfortable with geckos and insects: the houses are open to the garden, and every bed has a mosquito net.
  • Groups with children under 12: guests must be 12 or older.

What is included when you host a retreat at Camaya?

  • The yoga pavilion for your sessions.
  • A reserved section of Camaya Terrace, our restaurant, for group meals.
  • Fire access for evenings by the fire.
  • Speakers and yoga mats, free of charge.
  • Nirvana, our private Balinese cottage, as the leader’s house.
  • Camaya’s standard inclusions for every guest: breakfast, Wi-Fi, turn-down service and free use of the private sauna and cold plunge.

How does Camaya feed a retreat group?

Camaya Terrace cooks for retreat groups from its own kitchen. We can create custom menus ahead of time based on your group’s requirements. The regular menu already marks vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes, and our kitchen handles gluten, dairy, nuts and seafood. Camaya Terrace is not halal-certified. Read more about Camaya Terrace.

Can retreat guests experience village life?

Camaya is part of Padangaji, a working Balinese village, and our team comes from the village. When a ceremony takes place, village families can sometimes welcome a group to watch respectfully. Ceremonies are real, not staged, so we cannot guarantee one during your dates.

Our team can also arrange guided rice terrace walks, private yoga, massages and East Bali day trips for your group. See experiences at Camaya.

What does a retreat at Camaya cost, and how do you enquire?

Retreat prices depend on your dates, group size and the houses you need, so contact us for a quote. Send us your dates, group size, type of retreat and the number of houses you would like, and we will reply with availability and a price.
