Nirarta Centre

East Bali


Guests here partake in serious programs for personal and spiritual development, including free daily meditation sessions. The comfortable rooms are split among six bungalows, some right on the river; the restaurant serves a good range of Thai, Indian and Indonesian veggie and organic dishes (mains 45,000Rp to 125,000Rp). Sadly, there's no pool.
