HEAR THEIR STORIES

Wow how do I even review such a unique visual and soul experience?! I spent 6 night at the beautiful Udara and it’s an experience no mater the workshop of where your feet take you. The highlights for me is I was new to alot of the offerings so it allowed me to lean in and experience a wide range. I was surprised by my connection to sound and left to NZ with new instruments to support my journey with sound. Absolutely loved Bobby and his dream session and was def one of my highlights! I loved the sound dome and the sound sessions OMG! Loved the bracelet making as it helped my processing. Think areas of growth is the connection to outside, I missed the environment and hope in your expansion you find ways to keep open space with trees, grass and sun. You have little offerings in little spaces but missed the sun. I also loved my room but would have rated it higher if there was some private space with outside. I loved my views from the bathroom and my outside shower omg, but wished there was a way to bring into the room as I missed it in my own space for decompressing etc. I also had some unused space with an additional room above that was too hot to use. Would have loved it if the windows opened to netting not plastic to allow air flow. Rooms have large windows that all seem to open out to public spaces so REALLY wanted to keep my curtains open but also felt like I was in a fish bowl. Staffing were absolutely beautiful and want to thank the amazing room service crew and was such a breath of fresh air seeing that run my an amazing male team, the resteraunt crew were so lovely and the massage woman omg thank you! Lastly I really appreciated the skills and offerings of the sound crew – so talented 🙏🏾 thank you thank you! I think my last things to add is the space can become overwhelming if you get sensory overload. All walls, floor and pretty much every surface is uniquely made and full of texture. It’s amazing the work put into it, but if you are spicey make time to get out 🙂 I was on a retreat so spent most of my time there and had to get out often to balance. Additionally as an indigenous person myself, you see beautiful Balinese people working there but the actual accom is more its own spiritual vibes (very beautiful), so if you want a Balinese culture kinda vibe, it’s not there. With travelling around Bali I deeply hope the staff work ethical hours and are paid well (as talking to locals all around Bali not one local said they are paid well of that they work good hours) I’m not saying they are not at Udara, I’m just saying I hope so. I had the priviledge to go to the owners STUUUUUNNING house for a party and seeing his beautiful space just made me think ‘I hope he looks after his people’. Don’t get me wrong, you have earnt it so enjoy it! But just hope those who help your business are also celebrated well 🫶🏾 Well done team! Loved my time there.
