Where to Detox in Bali: Best-Reviewed Wellness Resorts for Yoga & Healing

If your idea of paradise involves sun, jungle hideaways, and a much-needed detox, Bali is the place to be. Locals Insider has researched some of the Island’s most transformative detox retreats, based on recommendations from prestigious names, awards, and positive reviews from fellow travelers.

Fivelements Retreat

• Rooms from $307 a night (Riverfront Suite)
• Book now

In Ubud, nestled along the sacred Ayung River, is the five-star eco-luxury retreat Fivelements. Since opening its doors to guests in late 2010, it has earned various accolades every year, and in 2025, The Times named it among the Best Hotels in Bali.

Prices start at $307 a night, and the retreat features nine riverfront suites and 11 hillside suites with private plunge pools. All suites use sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, and the designs blend perfectly with the riverside jungle.

The cuisine is plant-based, and the team uses ingredients mainly harvested from their Garden of Peace. If you’d like to take the tastes of Bali back home with you, visit the hotel’s culinary school and learn about the philosophy and techniques behind the healing food.

While the hotel has wellbeing facilities, like the sacred space, a wellness village will support you on your journey. Book sacred movement and breathing experiences, Balinese holy ceremonies, and more here. You may decide to step into a retreat programme for renewal and realignment. Five are available: the Signature, Holistic Purifying, Healing Journey, Awakening of a Woman, and the Fivelements Romantic Retreat.

“Absolutely magical stay at Fivelements. The most tranquil Balinese retreat we’ve ever experienced. The massage was outstanding, and the small gym was perfect for a light session. My wife, a yoga instructor, said the yoga was truly top-notch. A very special place. Highly recommend if you want a full detox.” Oli A, Google

COMO Shambhala Estate

• Rooms from $678 a night (Terrace Suite)

Beyond Ubud, also above the Ayung River, is COMO Shambhala. It’s a five-star sanctuary spreading across 22 acres that offers bespoke wellness programmes. The retreat consistently receives rave reviews online by travelers, so it’s no wonder it won so many awards over the years, like spots in Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards and the Forbes Travel Guide Star Award.

COMO Shambhala Estate’s philosophy is a ‘retreat for change,’ and it offers a wide range of wellness packages, retreats, and facilities to suit all needs. The wellness center is in the heart of the estate and has facilities like an ice bath and an infrared sauna for contrast therapy.

As an add-on, you can include one of the eight wellness programmes, like a full cleanse detox, in your stay. The estate offers signature retreats throughout the year so that stays can be centered around one of these experiences.

The estate is made up of suites and villas. Suites start at $678 a night, while villas begin at $1,116, and all feature private pools. Breakfast is usually included in stays here, and there are two options for lunch and dinner.

Kudus House serves Indonesian cuisine like braised organic beef short rib for $24, while Glow features healthier dishes like steamed fish in a ginger and shallot sauce for $16.

“Most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had. Staying at Como Shambhala Estate was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. The entire estate, including the accommodation, the restaurants, the jungle surrounds, the wellness facilities, and the service, is high quality and all designed with one objective: to make you feel relaxed.”  Steven L, TripAdvisor
