DECADENT, YET WELCOMING When we want to escape, we think of swinging in the hammocks up in the yoga studio over looking the rice fields and trees, the fresh warm breeze perfectly running across skin with the Indian Ocean in the distance, having just had one of the delicious smoothies, or lounging in the pool before meandering over to luxuriate in any one of their decadent body treatments, the smell of delicate flowers on the air. Exceedingly decadent and welcoming, thoroughly and lovingly operated, devout respect of Bali, her people, land and history, high level of integrity in every single person at the Floating Leaf, a deeply impactful experience of joy, laughter, nourishment and texture.

Josie F. MELBORNE, AUS A LIFE-CHANGING TIME Initial impressions set the scene for what turned out to be an incredible 5 days. Hotel itself is sublime, bed massive and mega comfy, semi-open air bathroom a lovely treat, air con all great. Food was fantastic, all lovely, delicious and healthy. Putu very kindly wrote up many of the recipes for me, along with teaching some in the fabulous cooking class, and they are now forming my staple diet. Location was great. The trips that were organized were just brilliant. Massages and facials I had were divine. Perhaps my favorite moment was my morning sat in the pool on the specially designed seat, reading, with coffee being brought to me on (polite!) demand… The staff are all so incredibly attentive and happy, ready to chat or leave you to your own devices as you so desire. I cannot recommend this place more highly and am already planning my return trip. Thank you for a truly life changing time, I’ll be back…

CLEANSING OF THE BODY AND SOUL. PARADISE. Rarely do I give a place 5 stars. But Floating Leaf more than earned it. Through outstanding service, and excellent and well planned menu, and one of the most wonderfully private locations, they have won me over. Ubud has long been touted as the yogi paradise of Bali. WRONG!!!! It’s Floating Leaf and their commitment to holistic living and community outreach. You can feel the love from their staff and ownership. Providing a harmonious environment which will allow you to actually BREATH. To think and explore whatever changes you want to make in yourself and the world around you.

TRULY_BLESSED I was truly blessed on so many levels, I was in awe of the energy there, surrounded by rice paddies feeling the cool fresh breezes off the near by ocean which was in view from my room I received such a warm welcome that I wrote a friend and told them that I was officially in heaven! What a feeling to feel that love of self and totally cared about and genuine interest of who I was and what my interests were. I was comfortable in their care instantly. Floating Leaf Eco Retreat delivered exactly what my soul required. I’ve been home in Australia for 10 days now, my smile has been off my dial, which keeps me connected to the joy I felt during my stay. I said I was truly blessed in my opening, to explain a little more about my stay I had an immaculate room of which the bathroom was partially exposed to nature by a low wall connecting me to the outdoors. I take food seriously and there were so many times that I was so involved with my meal and friendly chatter that I didn’t even photograph the epic proportions of it! I was in the moment always and chose not to post social media about it as it distracted me from the essence of my experience. I can’t thank Mikaku and Putu enough, they are honest, open, grounded, hilarious superstars in my mind, compassionate, offering genuine friendship and are committed to excellence in a very comfortable way. They and their staff are commitment to superb hospitality and building relationships is 5 Star! All in all, I experienced genuine love, comfort, great food, treatments and massage to be for a Queen, lush vibrant surrounds and gardens, exceptional facilitators in yoga and healing, organic produce, koi fish swimming around, and wonderful excursions to wood work gallery, silver gallery, water healing temple (highly recommended) and more!

THE BEST POSSIBLE INTRODUCTION TO BALI From beginning to end we were treated like a mixture of royalty and best friends by the owners and ALL the staff at Floating Leaf. The personalized trips to the cultural highlights saved us from many mistakes and made sure that we made the best use of our time. Trips anywhere, anytime were cheerfully arranged and very affordable. The food was local, delightful and plentiful. Always different and always a tasty surprise. Ours was a 12 person yoga retreat and the facility was absolutely perfect for this type of activity, the top floor semi open studio is beautiful. We will return!!

I WAS BOWLED OVER I have stayed in many villas in Bali and beyond and Floating Leaf wins the title of the greenest (both figuratively and literally as it’s surrounded by beautiful lush gardens and rice paddies). I was bowled over by the big welcome I received and as I learned more about the love and effort put into making this place completely self- sufficient, using renewable, recycled and sustainable products for everything even down to the flooring I was really struck with the amazing work this place is contributing towards the Balinese community and their guests. Oh and it doesn’t even compromise on style and luxury. I would’ve stayed for weeks! Go to this place it’s for your own good!

I WOULDN’T STAY ANYWHERE ELSE IN BALI We spent 10 days in Bali at the floating leaf. We were treated with such kindness by all of the staff and they catered to every need we had- meals, tea, set up appointments, made arrangements for day trips, took care of all the details so we could just relax and enjoy our vacation. We enjoyed daily conversations educating us about the culture and customs and were welcomed to participate in their local ceremonies. The food was amazing, the room was super comfortable (and wonderfully climate controlled), the pool was perfect for staying cool and relaxing, the yoga sanctuary was such a sacred and peaceful place to practice, the views of sunrise/sunset breathtaking, the resort was so beautiful and welcoming- I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Bali!

NEEDS TO BE ON EVERYONE’S BUCKET LIST Although difficult to put into words the “feeling” one experiences once in the gentle hands of Michael and Putu, I’ll simply say, I felt embraced by the kindest, most gracious hosts ever known to weary travelers. The Bali experience at Floating Leaf needs to be on everyone’s bucket list. Their knowledge of the land and culture made each day’s adventure much more fascinating, then if you were to travel to Bali on your own. So much thought went into each detail of the resort, it is stunning! You want for nothing… except possibly an extended stay. In gratitude.

FINALLY FOUND PARADISE After decades of travel, I finally found a place that offers everything that means the most to me when on vacation. Floating Leaf seems like it created just for me. I immediately felt right at home in the lush and friendly surroundings. Attention to every detail was apparent both in the architecture and decoration, as well as the service. The staff attended to every need and desire, sometimes even before I realized it myself. For me, surfing is essential. The hotel is located near some of the best waves in the world. It was if we had our own private villa with a full staff. For the price, the experience cannot be beat.

BE PREPARED TO BE PAMPERED, CHERISHED AND RENEWED I love to travel and love adventure. The stay at Floating Leaf has been, bar none, one of the best travel experiences I have ever enjoyed. The resort itself is gorgeous, intimate, unique, and Mika and Putu and the staff of gentle kind and accommodating Balinese, made it most wonderful. Round rooms with views to the sea and rice fields, comfortable beds, indoor-outdoor private baths with great showers and room for all your things- then you step out to the pool with Diwa Sri watching over you, flowers everywhere, to the yoga studio on high, at sunrise. Meditation followed by a breakfast such as you have never tasted and will want to try again and again. Spa treatments by skilled talented and loving people, well- trained by Beautiful Putu. With Mikaku as a tour guide- you learn so much about the culture, people, and the nooks and crannies of the land. Bring a group or the person you love and be prepared to be pampered, cherished, and renewed. Bali is a magical kingdom- come and be guests at the home of Mikaku and Putu and you will be blessed forever. Floating Leaf- in a word, Awesome!!!

MUCH MORE THAN I EVER HOPED FOR This was much more than I ever hoped for. We were experiencing Bali~ the people, the culture, the food, the ceremony and healing. Putu and Mikaku are so kind and loving, making sure all our needs were met. They provided healthy delicious meals, arranged transportation for anywhere we wanted and made it possible for us to do many things because they took care of these details. It felt like coming home every day and so many special things happened. The staff is the best and the space is beautifully laid out and comfortable. And relaxing spa treatments! This is the way to experience beautiful Bali!

There was no better place to spend my first international trip than at Floating Leaf. Waking up there everyday was a joy. My driver described it best today on the way to the airport... Floating Leaf is like going to visit your family in paradise. The staff truly treated my like a sister. I love them and it’s because they were committed to my experience. Sukma, Gus, D Gus, Made, etc etc etc !!!! The absolute best place for a spiritual retreat! The views from the yoga room of the rice fields deepened my yoga practice. Bali, I’ll be back. Floating Leaf team, see you soon. Love Diedra.

My stay at Floating Leaf was an incredible experience. This is a truly special place; the accommodations, amenities, and food were superb, but it was the service that really did it for me. The staff at Floating Leaf are one of a kind: by the end of my seven day stay I felt like I was saying goodbye to family. They truly care and go out of their way to make sure you are having the best possible stay and experience. A priceless vacation for sure!

Wishing I was still at this amazing place! The accommodations were perfect, the staff was warm, friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcomed and looked after. The programs they offer are well organized and utilize the best resources. I really enjoyed the communal dining and made some good friends from it. A special mention of the food - it was simply incredible!! Really hope to book another trip next year.

Floating Leaf is a juicy, relaxing and very friendly, glittering gem that pops up in the middle of the surrounding rice fields. The architecture is spectacular and the organic food likewise. Warm thanks to Makaku and Putu, and all the staff, for your wonderful hospitality! Carl & Anneli

The resort was even more amazing than I imagined. It is a true eco resort. From the conscious oasis created by the gracious owners to their lovely and kind staff, we could not have asked for a more healthy or enriching experience. This is a place to unplug, unwind and open yourself to authentic experiences. Thank you!

Floating leaf will blow your mind. It is such an inspiring and magical place to be. The building is incredible, the food is fresh and invigorating, the spa is amazing and the owners make you feel like you are apart of their family. On top of all of this floating leaf is so inspiring in their sustainable and Eco cause. You will leave wanting to live a more sustainable life style and feel like you have support to do so. Thank you so much! We will be back!!

Absolutely fabulous. Staff is fantastic. Each room is unique. The center has many areas for solitude and introspection. Artwork and beautiful touches are everywhere you look. Every aspect promotes relaxation. Yoga studio is amazing. Gorgeous space and breezy. I just want to live there.

I had the most amazing week at this beautiful retreat centre. The yoga roof space is stunning and the pool was magical, but it is the totally amazing staff and the food that I still think about months later. I'd love to return some day.

My boyfriend and I stayed a week in this beautiful, green, clean, eco-luxury retreat and had a great time. Food is amazing, the facilities are awesome and the staff very friendly and welcoming. We truly recommend this place and they say "walk in, float out" ?? Terima kasih Mikaku and all the team! With Love, Nadya and Romain

Floating Leaf has surpassed my wildest Balinese dreams... Being greeted by a foot massage, treated with a full body massage on my second day was decadent.**The most amazing buffet!!!!** Each mealtime for 7 days of our retreat, we were pampered with an array of exquisite, fresh & healthy Balinese dishes, smoothies and fresh fruit. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and eco-friendly open bathroom is beautiful. The staff was so incredibly friendly... Love love love this retreat space.

Perfect for a retreat with yoga and meditation. The owners and staff are amazingly helpful and the massages great. The food is spectacular and you can even get their recipes. The views in the middle of rice paddies at sunset and sunrise make it more than worth your while.

My week at Floating Leaf Eco Luxury Retreat was amazing! From the delicious food to the massages to the warm and caring staff to the last minute airport dash to deliver my forgotten passport! During my time there I made lifelong friends and was treated like family. I can’t thank the staff enough! Love and hugs to all of you!

I’m embarrassed my review is several months late. Better late than never. ? The staff at Floating Leaf ? weren’t just staff - they were our Bali family and treated us like their own. I would name everyone but I’ll likely forget a name so suffice it to say I miss them all - and the gorgeous cozy yoga holistic food Balinese spa home that is Floating Leaf. I want to come back - I hope you are all well and thriving. Floating Leaf - and all of Bali, really - is a holy place.

I wanted to love this place, and I’m sure some people do—but be wary about paying their deposit. They no longer had the dates we requested and stole my deposit when we weren’t able to get flights for their later availability. The experience has been so negative and disappointing. It’s sad when people like this are so cruel and greedy. The way they treated me speaks volumes about their character.

I was blessed to spend 12 days there with a group I grew to love. We had amazing experiences, healings, ceremony, food, service from the entire staff, and Putu and Mikaku were wonderful. It was the best and I'm so grateful!

One of the most heart opening experiences in my life. Felt nurtured in every way including: , the beautiful surroundings, the gracious and caring staff, the support and guidance of the owners who arranged for experiences of Bali culture in ways an ordinary tourist would not have.

We hosted a retreat at Floating Leaf and it was absolutely perfect. I could not recommend this venue highly enough to anyone considering hosting a retreat in Bali. The whole week run smoothly, with the finest attention to every detail from the welcome drink and foot massage to the farewell hugs!! The staff are amazingly friendly, attentive, funny and brilliant at their jobs. The food was world class with new and exciting healthy food at every meal. Rooms where comfortable, clean, quiet. The massage I had in their Melati spa was one of the best massages of my life – thanks Dian. A beautiful yoga shala, pool, lots of little quiet areas to chill out or common areas to socialise. Thank you to Mikaku and Putu for having us, and a special suksma to Zukma, Gus, Nengah, Benn, Degus and all the staff at Floating Leaf for making our stay perfect. See you next year!!

From the second I arrived at Bali Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat to the moment I boarded my flight to leave, I was treated professionally and with great respect for my comfort. I can not that the staff and owners enough for having such a positive impact on me and one that will stay with me. Of course I got to experience the beauty and unique culture of Bali. The owners explained the spirituality, customs, religion and significance of what I experienced and I feel I have a deep understanding of the culture in just my short 7 day stay. They went above and beyond in so many ways. The food was not only healthy but the tastiest I experienced in Bali. The wi-fi was fast and reliable (rare for Bali). The beds were so comfortable. The spa was world class. But most of all the special treatment and love I experienced for the staff, owners and other guests was the highlight for me. My stay was a perfect balance of fun and pampering, adventure and culture, beach and natural wonders, healthy eating and yoga, and making new friends. I had no idea my decision to stay at Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat would have such an impact in so many ways but I am so happy to have found them and I thank all the people who left such great reviews that ultimately convinced me to stay at Floating Leaf. I can not recommend Floating Leaf more strongly. Treat yourself to the best luxury experience and you will be so glad you did- just like me!

We had a wonderful yoga retreat with Kim and Tom recently The staff at Floating Leaf were excellent and the yoga room spectacular with a beautiful view and gentle beeeze so we stayed cool. Unfortunately a number of us got tummy bugs which was a bit disappointing. The cost of food and especially coffee was very high. Coffee triple that of Sanur. Considering that there is nowhere else to go locally apart from driving we were captive to these costs

Michael and Putu and the entire staff are angels, so authentically kind and helpful. They have crated a beautiful place and setting, and we had a great yoga and cultural experience. We booked it again!

This is a beautiful and well tended property. The guest rooms are lovely and comfortable. The pool was always available which was great through some warm afternoons and evenings. The yoga room was very nice and even on quite warm days, there was a nice breeze. They could use some new yoga mats, as they had seen some definite wear and tear. The thing that made our retreat most special were the wonderful people that work here. They were most anxious to make every element of your stay perfect. While I am not a huge fan of a fairly vegetarian diet, the food was well presented and plentiful.

Wha. Whatt an amazing place on an amazing island! Floating Leaf was a wonderful place to spend 5 nights on a recent yoga retreat. The physical space and design is exquisite....from the beautiful top floor open air yoga studio with gorgeous views of sunrise and the surrounding rice fields to the soothing waters of the salt water pool. The guest rooms are beautifully and thoughtfully appointed with local artists' works and attention to little details throughout the space. But the best thing about this place is the people....Mikaku and Putu are gracious hosts who made us feel truly welcome and like part of their family. Their staff are friendly, kind, hard working and attentive to your every need and wish with a smile. They arranged a few tour experiences for our group that gave us a wonderfully authentic immersion into Balinese culture. I can't say enough about how lovely my stay here was! Thank you Mikaku and Putu...hope to return!!

I fully recommend this place! It is a beautiful space to stay and the yoga studio is amazing with gorgeous views. The staff is friendly and accommodating and will take you in tours of Bali that most tourists would normally not get a chance to experience. If you want to relax and chill or have a deeply cultural experience, they can make it happen. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and recommend it highly ??

Floating Leaf is just wonderful. Exclusive, beautiful, small and eco-friendly with yoga at sunrise, spa treatments on command, delicious food with the freshest fruits and vegetables, relaxing pool and cars available to take you to the beach, into town, or on excursions to visit some of the delights the island offers. I had an amazing physical, mental and spiritual experience. I'd like to give it a 10-star rating.... and all of them gold. Mikaku and Putu are wonderfully welcoming. We felt like their personal guests and all the staff are equally attentive and helpful. Thank you Mikaku and Putu, may all your guests appreciate your wonderful place and enjoy it as much as I did.

I have hosted many retreats world wide & I can say hands down that I have never worked with a team as professional & caring as the team at Floating Leaf. The owners Mikaku & Putu are the most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They were exceptional in helping us plan out all travel for our participants, provided for each dietary need, offered help & suggestions for additional places/things to see while in Bali. The floating leaf itself is a piece of heaven on earth, bringing Balinese tradition & awareness to Eco tourism together. The attention to detail in all planning & operation of this extremely eco friendly retreat is remarkable. All products used to build it are either recycled or sustainable materials. The toiletries smell amazing & are biodegradable. The food is fresh, delicious & local. And the venues are nothing short of breath taking. On a personal note I fell pretty ill a few days into the retreat, due to a pre existing condition before I arrived in Bali. Putu had personally arranged a doctor's appointment for me, her staff drove me to the hospital & stayed with me to make sure I was ok. I cannot recommended the floating leaf enough. I, as well as my guests were blown away with this experience & cannot wait to return ??

I miss Floating Leaf every day! It was luxury at its finest, with the most amazing, hospitable staff and fun, down-to-earth owners. Thank you so much for a fantastic snorkeling excursion and life-altering Balinese healing. I will absolutely return someday!!

Floating leaf will blow your mind. It is such an inspiring and magical place to be.

Thank you so much! We will be back!!

This is an intimate, beautiful retreat. I stayed for 4 wonderfully relaxing nights in the most beautiful room. Everything is 5 star quality and the staff are amazingly talented and attend to your every need. Mikaku and Putu the owners are incredibly generous, kind, funny, loving people who do whatever it takes to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one. The food is outstanding and presented beautifully and the pool and spa treatments are amazing. I had THE best facial i have ever had in my life! The attraction for me to stay here was the fact that MIkaku and Putu give so much back to their community and encourage guests to too. It was so important for me to thank the Balinese locals for allowing me to spend time in their country, villages and community. At Floating Leaf i was able to do this. While i didn't attend one of their retreats, i hope to in the future.

I spent 5 days at the Floating Leaf Eco-Retreat in August and was blown away by the beauty of the place and the incredible friendliness and hospitality of the owners and staff. I enjoyed the most relaxing time, coupled with a lot of yoga with two amazing teachers. The food is beautiful as is the whole atmosphere. The perfect place to get away from it all. Highly recommended!

This place is truly magical. I was lucky enough to spend my birthday with an awesome group of people while staying at the Floating Leaf! Putu and Mikaku, I will always remember and cherish every moment of my stay, from your hospitality to the beautiful surroundings.... I still think of many moments there with such gratitude and love...I CANNOT wait to return!

We miss this place sooo much after spending 2 weeks here in May and LOVING it! Mikaku and Putu are the best hosts we're ever had at a resort and have become life long friends. The food is very delicious AND healthy (I lost 5 lbs.!) the cooking class with Putu was great and I hope to use much of what I learned at home here in CA! The staff couldn't have been more wonderful, including the drivers and the women in the spa and at breakfast, etc. All in all, a very special place. We will be back!
