Shankaris is a Relaxing retreat with great vegetarian menu (some fish/chicken dishes) and a very peaceful rain forrest type atmosphere. Rooms are clean but basic, no mod cons though 2 rooms have a/c and all are very private. There are 3 seperate pools. The staff are very helpful when spoken to, they do not hassle or pressure you at all.... More

Basic, relatively clean although corners need to be checked by supervisors. Water intermittently becoming too hot or cold, inconsistent flow. But ok for the special price, on normal rate I would rather choose somewhere else. If you are in for yoga perhaps this can be overlook.

Amazing place. The staff was very useful and friendly. Wayan the receptionist, Wayan the server, Widia and Made the driver were fantastic. The food was so delicious and healthy. Our room the Ganesha Turtle was so pretty and comfortable. Very close to the beach and the village. What an amazing place!!

We found this amazing place by surprise and we were taken away from the first moment. The whole place has a very relaxing feeling and the staff is so friendly, that you feel like home from the first second. Especially Wajan is a diamond. The bungalow's have a very nice interior and are very clean. The balcony invites to chill... More

Bit of trek up from Pecatu, but well worth it. The people are heaps nicer up his way, as they have had less bad experiences with James Bogans! En route, our taxi driver stopped at Warung Sembung, for some Babi Guling/nasi Campur, just outside of Tabanan. Locals only, local prices and fantastic experience. Perhaps not for the faint hearted, but... More

Shankari has family bungalows, ours had two floors, three big beds, a small but nice terrace including a fantstic view, situated in a lovely, almost wild... More

This place is two hours from all the usual Bali tourist spots but well worth the experience. There is a bit of a surf scene at Balian Beach but those who stay here come to relax and unwind. I stayed in the Ganesha Butterfly room US$48. I think it is the best of the single level rooms because it has... More

I stayed at Shankari's Bali Retreat for 3 nights around Christmas time. I had a wonderful time and felt like I got to experience a unique part of Bali. Shankari's provided transportation from the airport and daily breakfast in the room rate. Being a solo traveler, the staff and layout of the retreat were really helpful in making my stay... More

Inside they are very beautiful to with a big bathroom and a little place outside (but private) with 2 chairs and pillows. You can burn a candlle and use incense... More
