Accommodation
Staying with Purna Yoga is an opportunity for you to detox on the deepest level. They serve filtered water and food grown right in their sustainable garden.
They have several bungalows. Some of them are just next to the waterfall, while others are facing the jungle, rice fields, or river. Be ready for a real and raw experience of living in nature, while still in the comfort of your open-air eco bungalow.
Being at this beautiful and sustainable eco resort gives a unique experience of truly living in the middle of the nature. The open-air structures provide a natural cooling system, enabling the bungalows to remain at a comfortable temperature throughout the day and night.
No air conditioning or fans are needed as the bungalows are five to 10 degrees cooler in the mountains than the coastal areas of Bali.
Your restful sleep will be fully taken care of by plump pillows, soft bamboo sheets, and a warm comforter for cooler nights. In all the Bali bungalow accommodation offers, complimentary tea and coffee as well as filtered spring water are provided.
Even your skin will be treated with equal respect and care, as their provided shower gels, shampoos, and insect repellants are all made of the goodness of this land, locally handmade, and divine-smelling.
From the comfort of your terrace, watch the moon and the stars twinkle away under a gracious light show of fireflies, and drift to sleep while listening to the chorus of crickets and rushing water.
In your free time, you may relax by the waterfall or on the sun bed in the garden, have a walk by the rice fields or jungle, read a book from the little library, or dip in a natural spring.
The place has a permaculture garden, library, massage space, and Wi-Fi. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and uniquely designed. Staff will conduct daily room cleaning.
