Dive courses are available for beginner, amateur and advanced divers. In addition, the resort is just ten minutes from Puri Jati Beach, which is great for macro diving.

Location
Zen Resort Bali is located on the north coast of Bali about a 3-hour drive from the airport. This means you are far from the crowded beaches and nightclubs of the south, and instead surrounded by natural beauty like pristine beaches, rice paddies, vineyards, hot springs and volcanoes. The setting makes this an ideal spot to relax, rejuvenate and reflect, or get out and explore all the spectacular natural beauty the island has to offer.

Outstanding spa resort with exceptional staff
We stayed here for 9 days. The resort is located on a hill just a few minutes walk to the beach about 2km from Serrerit. The grounds and gardens are pleasant and quite interesting with a nice pool and yoga area, library and many other nice spaces. Our villa was very spacious with an enormous king bed and a nice verandah with a good view. A plunge pool overlooked the scenery and was terrific for a quick plunge after a hot day. The included food was awesome.... usually 3 courses of very healthy and delicious fare served very promptly always. The meditation and yoga were terrific. I'm now addicted to yoga not having done it before. The Ayurvedic doctor has amazing wisdom and insight into life, with wise solutions to many health and philosophical issues! The spa was exceptional. Each treatment was a heavenly experience always beginning with a prayer and deep inhales. The whole experience was amazing.... peaceful, yet plenty of activity, relaxation and learning how to breathe again. The incredible staff were absolutely amazing... always friendly and with genuine warmth and kindness. I also lost 3kg without even trying! The perfect place to escape stress and find yourself again!! 5 stars.

Amazing Experience
I had a wonderful experience at Zen Resort Bali! I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Bali as an amazing place to stay. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The food is excellent, so healthy and tastes delicious. The spa treatments were heavenly, like none I have ever experienced. The techniques used and recommendations from the Ayruvedic doctor on staff were specific to my needs and truly helped me address personal issues. Most of all, the staff stood out to me. In every area of need or concern, they were more than accommodating. You could see and feel the love they put into their roles in servicing their guests. I will never forget my experience here and it is already on my list of places to travel to again.

Beautiful and Inspiring!”
I visited the Zen Bali Resort in November, 2016 for what was truly one of the best vacations I've had. I stayed in a Premium Villa which was more spacious and beautiful than the pictures can capture. My open air shower was a favorite but having my own plunge pool really made this room selection totally worth it. The property is beyond lovely and I took my time exploring and taking in the gorgeous views at every turn. I met with the Ayurvedic doctor and had three treatments to address some areas of focus. The Open Chakra and Urovasti treatments were both well-above my expectations but the Shirovasti legitimately worked magic on me. I immediately had headache relief and have not had issues with headaches since. I also, and partly because of the daily yoga and wonderfully delicious healthy foods, never slept better and continue to enjoy the results a month later. But truly, what really makes Zen special is the staff. Each and every person was helpful, kind, and accommodating. I am counting the days until I can return to this beautiful and magical resort!

Brilliant
Till the time I went ‘kicking-and-screaming’ to Bali, I had managed to avoid any place advertised as a 'holistic healing/wellness' retreat. I went along very reluctantly only because close friends told us that Zen Resort was an experience not to be missed. And am I glad I went? This beautiful resort overlooking the Bali Sea, is a little gem not only because of its beautiful location, but also because it gently, masterfully and with total professional sincerity points out a time honoured concept of focusing on oneself to heal body and soul, something which is always neglected and forgotten in the modern working life. Even a hard-core sceptic as I succumbed to the daily dose of wholesome healthy food, meditation, yoga and Ayurveda massage and empathetic counselling, carried out ever smiling, gentle, courteous, friendly, highly qualified and professional staff and having spent 11 days in a dreamlike state, I have come away feeling reborn. One hopes Zen will retain its magical atmosphere for eternity. We will definitely be going back.Schibber | London, UK | |

Zen Embodied
I chose Zen for the diving, but what made my visit special was everything else! The people there are tremendously welcoming, generous, and friendly. This place is an unbelievable haven of relaxation. I'm not a veteran of many all-inclusive places, but this one has a remarkably complete yet tailored package. Massages and spa treatments were tailored, extravagant in their complete attention to detail, delivered with a preparatory breathing relaxation and prayer chant and genuine smiles. The facilities are lovely, of course- beautiful setting, carefully kept grounds and villas, a pool reflecting the trees and flowers back is a deeper, wavering hue, architecture and spa facilities well blended to land. The diving is good- full service and relaxing, with dive master pointing out the tiniest transparent shrimp and giving you plenty of time to examine them (even if there isn't world-class coral on the local beach). The food is excellent. Every day there were new floral designs welcoming us to meals, celebrating our presence in each villa. Highly recommended.Heidi S | Doha, Qatar | |

Great place to stay
There are many reasons why I recommend this place but let me narrow them down to three. 1. flexibility: you can start the program of your choice on any day. You can also change treatments within reason. I arrived late on the first day. All treatments on Day 1 were conducted on the second and third days. I didn't miss out on anything. 2. professionalism: all staff members are great and supportive. 3. location: it's far from noise and commotion. Zen Resort Bali is an excellent place to stay.Nikki | Darwin, Australia | |

A Place to inhale energy
I was a exhausted in body and mind. I needed a place to rest and recover... I was really hoping to find that. YES i really got it, and so much more. I could never have dreamed of the wonderful experience I've got. I'm lost for words.... magic!! The sunrise meditation and the yoga after that was excellent, the food was good. the staff so friendly and helpful. the spa.... Again lost for words, they are so professional, kind and lovely! The manager is a wonderful man with lots of care, humor and love. Zen is a place where you are really taken care of and they make you feel really special! I absolutely got more than i could ever hope, I left with energy and hope. Zen brought me back to life. I will always carry zen with me in my heart. its not good bye, its see you later...Angelica A | Stockholm, Sweden | |

Welcome to Paradise, where dreams come true
Zen Resort is the perfect place to renew all your energies. Everybody (employees and managers/owners) is taking care of you and fulfills every wish you may have during your stay from the first second your feets touch the ground of the resort. Whatever you need, you will get it there. The rooms are absolutely clean and in perfect conditions. The food was delicious and you can get as much as you want. Sunrise meditation is one of the most beautiful things you will see there. People come together from all over the world. You find great people to join you during your stay. The employees of the spa are really good educated in medical, healthy and relaxing issues. They know exactly what to do, if you have pain or stress. My personal thanks goes to Budiani and Mr. Shah, who were taking responsibility for every guest in personal. This makes this resort so special. You feel like coming home, not only like being in Holiday. I can absolutely recommend this resort to everybody out there in the world. Every day is so special and will be an experience you will never forget in your lifetime. If I have the possibility, I will definitely go back :-) Wish everybody there all the best.

Soothing for the soul
It is very difficult to describe the experience you will have at the Zen resort. The all encompassing holiday of treatments, nurturing from staff, yummy meals, romantic accommodation, good yoga and meditation, lovely outdoor pool and luscious gardens, make it a holiday break that is soothing for the soul. A week at the Zen resort, I believe empties ones emotional bucket to enable you to go back into the outside world with a renewed sense of calm.Nina | New South Wales, Australia | |

Excellent, aesthetic, friendly and thoroughly relaxing
I have just returned from another retreat to the Zen Resort, Bali. The staff welcome me back each year in a way so warm, that it feels like I have a family connection. The capable staff attend to every detail from morning meditation, yoga and pool side equipment and care to extraordinary taste in offering on the menu. The service is courteous always. Added to this, there is towel art to add a smile or delight and flower mandalas that arrest your eyes for all those aesthetically pleasing reasons. The spa treatments alone would have me return to the Zen annually, but the total package is awesomeness in a single destination. I went on a mindful retreat, another friend had a dive package ... and we both felt the power of conviviality and life with a sense of gratitude for the many kindnesses we received. Thank you to the magnificent staff at the Zen.Jo M | Australia | |

Just relax and let go
2nd time visiting Zen. One week last year was not enough so I booked in for a two week de-stress package. It is the best. The thing that sets this resort apart from the rest is the staff. They are like family. From the gardeners, spa therapists, house keeping, reception, restaurant ... Everyone knows your name, says hello and are more than happy to have a chat, all the while providing unbelievable service. The location is quiet, peaceful and away from any hussle and bustle. The rooms are large, air conditioned and have simple quality furnishings. The food is excellent with a wide choice. The spa is out of this world. Yoga, meditation, diving, relaxing by the pool, a walk to the beach.Jex | Melbourne, Australia | |

Peace & Serenity
If you are looking for a fantasy island where all your needs are more than met and a place to getaway from the busyness and noise of the world, this is the place to be. I cannot even begin to describe this place. Truly zen, quiet, natural, a place for reflection. Both the staff and guest are wonderful- they not only take more than good care of you, they respect your space, time, and needs. A really unique part of Zen's treatment sessions is that they provide you with TWO therapist to say massage you at the same time. They must practice a lot, because somehow, they work so well in unison in terms of pressure and timing that it eventually begins to feel like only one person is massaging you. I also went on a dive excursion with Zen to Menjangan, where I was once again very well taken care of. The coolest fish I saw in my opinion was a Trigger fish! On our second dive that day, we also dove into a cave and I felt like the princess from the Walt Disney movie " The Little Mermaid". As I looked up, I saw different layers of colourful coral surrounding me with fish, and the sun shining through from the top! The yoga teacher there was fantastic! She was more than a beautiful Soul. She paid attention to everybody's needs as we are all coming from different levels of yoga experiences. Every time we thought we reached our limit in a pose, she would come over to help give us a little push, and we would go SO much further into our flexibility in a safe way. If I could live there forever and money weren't a factor, that would be the place in the world I would pop over to!Victoria C | Toronto, Canada | |

Awaken your mind, body and soul at Zen
I traveled to Zen Resort in June with a friend. I didn't have many expectations or goals in mind other than to relax, however, what I am able to say now, is that when I left Zen I feel as though I left a different person. It was an absolutely, powerfully, positive experience. If you are feeling run down, beat down or unbalanced in your life, then Zen will help you to re-find your balance. From the moment you arrive at Zen Resort, you are treated with caring, compassion and respect and this does not matter if you arrive at 1am or 1pm - the staff go out of their way to look after you. The rooms are traditionally styled and clean. The gardens immaculately manicured, with beautiful flowers and birds, butterflies a regular feature. The spa treatments are offered as a standard package, however, when you have your one on one consultation on the first day, the staff will tailor and amend the treatments to suit your goals if required. The meditation and yoga are easy to pick up if you area a beginner and I'm sure can still be made challenging enough if you are a regular/advanced yoga practitioner. The daily meals provided are changed up regularly and appear to be well portioned controlled, so indulging in a daily dessert almost felt guilt free and good for the soul. For whatever reason you decide to visit Zen Resort, you will feel welcomed and immersed in the relaxing and caring atmosphere that this place generates. I only attended for the minimum stay but I definitely returned home feeling refreshed and confident that I would be able to implement many of the Zen philosophies into my lifestyle back in Australia..... I'm already planning another trip in the new year but for longer.Elizzle | Perth, Australia | |

Absolutely amazing retreat; the pictures do not do it justice. Don't hesitate in staying here
I stayed at Zen Resort for a week and did the 'slimming package'. My dad also came for 3 days for some relaxation. Firstly, the grounds are beautiful. Very lush and green. The staff are incredibly friendly and all the guests I met during my stay were astounded that they all knew our names! I was worried about the yoga, since I'm not very fit, but the teacher was so welcoming and supportive, in-fact the whole place had a very very supporting and warm feel. The other guests seemed so at peace staying at Zen too, which was really great to be around. The food was a huge plus for me. I ALWAYS get sick when i visit bali, and this was the first time i didn't! It was really fresh, and creative. The treatments were next level, most of them where performed by 2 staff, and they really know what they are doing! The resort was very quite but had a great energy. I will be returning and bringing my mum next time!Kristy Payne | Australia | |

A very special place
Everything at Zen was carefully thought through and brilliantly executed from the food to the surroundings to the general organisation. The whole place had an air of peace and tranquility and we were made to feel so welcome we felt like part of an extended family. We were booked in for a 6 day package. Even before we arrived, the staff were helpful in responding to our queries quickly. We were picked up from the airport and dropped off at our next destination. We were each given a tailor made spa and wellness schedule which included some of the most relaxing massages I have ever had. Because each guest had their own schedule of activities, the pool and garden areas never felt busy and we often felt like we were the only guests. Next time we come, we will be booking alonger stayArb | London, UK | |

Gorgeous location, fantastic resort, so relaxing
From the moment you arrive, you know that the Zen Resort is special. The staff are all wonderful, they treat you like family. The resort is located in a less tourist area of Bali and that's another plus in my books. The rooms are wonderful, very roomy. Only think I would prefer is to have screen in the windows so we can more easily leave the windows open at night. The restaurant serves amazing food, prepared to perfection, portion size just right. We even had a cooking session with the staff on one of our days and it was great to see how the food gets prepared and to get some of their recipes, yum. Then there is the Ayurveda treatments, wonderful, this makes the resort even more special. I could go on and on but the resort is more to be experienced, so go and visit, I loved it and I'm not a resort person.Rada | Newcastle, Australia | |

A real get away in a magical setting
The staff at the Zen resort make your stay a truly memorably experience. Miss Budiani is an inspiration and kind, caring manager. You feel the warmth, care and kindness from all staff - the reception staff to the wonderful girls in the massage centre to the beautiful staff in the kitchen to the grounds staff. They can't do enough for you and are genuinely happy to help - always with a big smile. The food was delicious and you immediately felt healthier and lighter despite eating a 3 course meal for lunch and dinner. 6am mediation and 7am yoga was a beautiful way to start the day. I also attended the Mindfulness Clinic's, Mindful Leadership course which is held there a couple of times/year. I totally relaxed and de-stressed but also learned a lot! 2 days felt like a week and a week felt like almost a month. It has changed my life and I'm already saving for my return trip!Sally R | Melbourne, Australia | |
