Villa Mantra Studio and Detox

I met Tim, the owner in Gilliair, Bali and he told me about his place in Ubud. Mid-hotel half-vegan community. I went there and I was delighted. I had planned 4 days at Villa Mantra. I stayed there for 4 weeks. I would have stayed there even had it not been for my return flight. Villa Mantra is super well located 3 minutes by scooter from the center of Ubud with all these restaurants and activities, one minute from the Bintang supermarket with all the food you need and several excellent restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are ok, the pool is great. What makes the Villa Mantra experience unique, touching and invigorating is the community of people who gather there. Most residents live there for several weeks or even months, so there is a real community created there of people who want to evolve and become more aware. The vegan approach is great because in addition Tim, the owner, writes a superb book on Bali Vegan. He therefore knows all the best restaurants in Ubud and Bali and makes us discover them. The dinners and lunches where we all go together often the people of Villa Mantra are memorable as much for the exceptional quality of the food as for the exchanges and the joy of being together. Villa Mantra is the door to know Ubud and the surroundings, temples, rivers, yoga center, dances, activities, etc.because the villa mantra community knows all these places and often we will discover these new places together. And in addition, each morning of the week, we are entitled to a yoga class included in the price of the room. When I was there, I had the privilege of receiving Kundalini yoga classes with Kim and I really loved it. The yoga room is perfect.

Revisited this place again after a year. Such lovely vibes. The host does a great job making people feel at home and welcome. When we were there they had three supercute kittens jumping all over the lawn.

I've been living in this beautiful sanctuary for six weeks and loved it! The Villa Mantra is a unique place where mindfull people from all over the world come together for conscious co-living. I loved having a privat shala that can be used anytime, a pool, fireplace, cosy sitting area and shared kitchen. It was nice to always have the choice between spending alone time in your spacious room or stepping out to meet friendly and inspiring tenants that quickly became friends. The location is very good as well, just a few minutes from the center and with many nice restaurants, a big supermarket and good massage studios close by. The Villa Mantra will quickly feel like your home in Ubud ️

Beautiful place, great environment, amazing people, equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, sweet cats, good location, really nice yoga shala. Best experience ever

Absolutely love the good vibes at Villa Mantra, Tim & the staff are so kind & very helpful. All the places they recommended to see & vegan friendly places to eat were amazing. I don't think I've ever eaten so well in my life The spa next door is great too! Great place to feel safe and looked after for first time solo traveler.
Looking forward to my next stay in Ubud. Thankyou ️️️

This is a real gem in Ubud - a gorgeous space, open concept living room and kitchen, bedrooms each with their own canopies and bathrooms. There's a refreshing pool to swim in after doing a yoga session in the studio, and a cat named Sasha who greets you with sweet nuzzles. I really love that there's a kitchen equipped with all your cooking needs - go to the local bintang market just a ten minute walk away and pick up local fruits like dragon fruit, mangos, bananas, and whip up your own smoothie with the blender or juicer provided. The kitchen is a vegan/vegetarian kitchen, and the three rules to this place is no meat, no alcohol, and no smoking. You can do that anywhere else. If you're looking for a place to party, this isn't it. If you're looking for a place of high vibrations, peace, tranquility, a place to work on your laptop (great for digital nomads), and to interact/meet with a community of likeminded people, this is it! The host is awesome and took me out for lunch to his favorite spot called Prima's - all vegan/vegetarian and super cheap. He's always available to answer any questions or make great recommendations. The staff are lovely and are there to do light cleans of the room and the common areas every day. Oh, I almost forgot to mention Putri spa where I had a traditional balinese massage for $140,000 IDR - honestly one the best deals and best masseuses I've ever had. Villa Mantra is near a lot of great restaurants, just a 20 minute walk away from Intuitive Flow yoga studio, and cool art, artisans, galleries, and live music, but tucked a little away from the main hub of ubud center, which is really nice. It's not as loud and definitely more peaceful.

There's yoga twice a week with one of the sweetest yoga teachers - Franzy. She teaches Weds and Saturdays at 7: 30pm and her classes are a great way to start the day. It's 100,000 IDR for drop in, or an 8 class pass for $500,000 IDR.

They have great deals here for longer term stay - so I'd strongly suggest this spot if you're thinking to spend some time here in Bali!

Such an amazing place. Full of positive people and energy. Creative workshops, lectures, events, movie nights and people from all over the world.
