Shankaris is a Relaxing retreat with great vegetarian menu (some fish/chicken dishes) and a very peaceful rain forrest type atmosphere. Rooms are clean but basic, no mod cons though 2 rooms have a/c and all are very private. There are 3 seperate pools. The staff are very helpful when spoken to, they do not hassle or pressure you at all.... More

Basic, relatively clean although corners need to be checked by supervisors. Water intermittently becoming too hot or cold, inconsistent flow. But ok for the special price, on normal rate I would rather choose somewhere else. If you are in for yoga perhaps this can be overlook. More

Amazing place. The staff was very useful and friendly. Wayan the receptionist, Wayan the server, Widia and Made the driver were fantastic. The food was so delicious and healthy. Our room the Ganesha Turtle was so pretty and comfortable. Very close to the beach and the village. What an amazing place!! More

Perhaps not for the faint hearted, but... More

Shankari has family bungalows, ours had two floors, three big beds, a small but nice terrace including a fantstic view, situated in a lovely, almost wild... More

This place is two hours from all the usual Bali tourist spots but well worth the experience. There is a bit of a surf scene at Balian Beach but those who stay here come to relax and unwind. I stayed in the Ganesha Butterfly room US$48. I think it is the best of the single level rooms because it has... More

I stayed at Shankari's Bali Retreat for 3 nights around Christmas time. I had a wonderful time and felt like I got to experience a unique part of Bali.
