down hillsides like giant steps. On top of this, the Balinese people with their humble

Hindu culture and truly friendly attitude make perfect hosts for a retreat of this

ABOUT GAJAH MINA RESORT

Gajah Mina is an exclusive Bali holiday destination on the picturesque South West

coast, not far from the renowned Tanah Lot temple in Tabanan. An intimate

boutique hotel of eleven independent vacation villas nestled among tropical gardens

and scenic rice paddies.

Gajah Mina overlooks its own private beach carved into the volcanic rock. The

setting is spectacular, natural caves and ancient stone carvings offering beautiful

walks across adjacent cliff top, headlands, rice paddies, coconut groves and deserted

beaches.

ACCOMMODATION

Gajah Mina was designed by its French Owner to combine the ethnic characteristics

of the Balinese cultural environment with a high level of comfort and sophistication.

Furnished with a wide variety of antiques source from throughout the Indonesia

archipelago, the villas are fashioned from natural materials such as volcanic stone,

teak, coconut wood and unpolished marble. Stained glass bedroom windows add a

touch of romance. Private verandahs with loungers are the perfect place to relax and

enjoy the sea breeze and bask in the perfume of tropical flowers. A luxuriously

appointed bathroom with outside garden shower complements each villa.


YOGA PAVILLION

Our daily Vinyasa Flow Yoga, chanting and meditation sessions will take place in

Gajah Mina’s beautiful “Wantilan”; a roofed yet open Balinese structure perched on

a cliff top overlooking the private beach and ocean behind it. The name of this site is

Balian and translates to meaning healer or shaman. This is a truly great opportunity

to absorb the healing and rejuvenating power of nature in spectacular surroundings

while immersing yourself deeper in your yoga practice and spiritual path. In daily

yoga sessions, we will flow through various dynamic, creative and restorative

practices depending on our day’s schedule. We’ll explore some fun, challenging

postures that aren’t normally explored in regular group classes in addition to mantra

and meditation.

SURF BALIAN STYLE

Two surfing lessons will be included in

your retreat and unlimited use of a

board will be at your disposal should

you wish to surf more. Surfing is

optional and there are many other

activities you can enjoy should you

wish to explore the island instead. The

surf breaks are known as some of the

best in the world and it is high season

during the time of our retreat.

If you’ve always wanted to try surfing

then this is the perfect place to start as

there are an array of breaks suitable


for both beginners and the more experienced surfer.

RELAX AND INDULGE

The Spa and Massage room is on the unspoilt west coast of Bali. On a headland over

looking a beautiful surf spot of Bali on one side, and on the other: the deserted

Mejan beach. In keeping with nature, there are always cooling breezes and the ever

present sound of the surf. A wide selection of treatments, ranging from Balinese

massages to body scrubs to wraps, facials and more are available during your

Warriors & Waves escape.

EAT, DRINK (Healthy Fresh Juices!!) AND BE MERRY!

The Naga Restaurant at Gajah Mina features French cuisine, Indonesian favorites,

Thai specialities, organic vegetables, home made pastas and bread, fresh juices,

grilled sea foods, world music and a wonderful view of the rice fields. A book case

with games, magazines and books are at your disposal. Wi-Fi internet is provided

free of charge to keep in touch with loved ones.
