“This place is a hidden gem within the center of Ubud. When you arrive it's like all the busyness of Ubud disappears and you land softly in this little oasis of tranquility.

Apart from the unique and lovely crafted rooms - the highlight for me was the team, which made it so easy to feel home. I think the place wouldn't be the same without the wonderful people working there. Thank you so much to Dayu, Paula and all the other AMAZING people who made the stay such a positive and loving experience.”

“What a Gem of a place 🫶🏽 the Ark feels like a safe homely heaven amongst the rice fields and palm trees. The rooms are all designed with love, the staff is amazing and the food is healing delicious medicine. It is the perfect place to hold a group container and still close enough to Ubud and just a short stroll to many amazing restaurants 🫶🏽 can’t wait to have another opportunity to be in this beautiful space 🙏🏽♥️”

“The Ark Retreat Center is beyond amazing. It's tucked away from the busy streets of Ubud in a rainforest oasis. I loved the open-air space and natural beauty of The Ark. The rooms were beautifully appointed with every detail taken into consideration for my comfort and care.

The staff is what makes this experience above and beyond any other retreat center. The genuine care they gave to our group went far beyond anything I'd experienced before. It felt like we had been there our whole lives. From the moment we walked into the Ark to the moment we walked out 5 nights later, we were nurtured, cared for, and respectfully treated like family by absolutely everyone.

This automatically lets me know that they are cherished and well-supported by the owner who is as kind and caring as anyone can be. I have travelled the world for over 26 years, and this experience is one of the best I’ve had in every way. The quality of the Balinese ceremonies, to the drivers and excursions they arranged for us were top-notch.

The yoga shala is perfect and well-stocked with quality props. I would 100% return without any hesitation. In fact, I’d have a hard time leading a retreat anywhere else, as I don’t know that another could compare to the quality and care I so graciously received here.

Until next time Tammy and your lovely staff, I thank you for this time.”

“The experience with The Ark was amazing, can’t say Thank you enough to Tammy and her great team the way she handled our big crew of 18 people. The food every morning was super delicious and they always surprised us with creative selection. Rooms always clean ready to relax and recover after a long day. And the management would always help us with advice for our trip plans whenever needed. Everything was done professionally and our stay wouldn’t be the same without them! Will come back for sure.”
