We booked the Soulrocker experience as a bucket list trip for my wife’s 50th birthday. The opportunity to do daily Yoga, listen to Michael Franti and get back to Ubud were the exciting draw cards. As we have young kids, high end hotels are a rare treat. Soulshine was the best hotel/resort we have ever stayed at. From the moment we entered the oasis, we were blown away by how beautiful everything was. Our Panarama room was huge and luxurious and much better than the website photos. The breakfasts and dinners were also amazing as were the kind and attentive staff (particularly Roy and apologetically I can’t remember the name of young lovely house staff member on at brekky). The bars and pools were stunning overlooking the rice fields and gentle cliff down to the river. We were surprised to find that we were some of the younger guests (we are 53 and 50) and also that a vast majority of the guests were from the US. We are Aussies and given that Michael is reasonably well known in Australia and the close proximity of Bali, we expected more guests from down under. Every music session was amazing. Michael, Ragu and Carl etc didn’t miss a beat from the acoustic and stage sets and being able to be so intimately entertained was unforgettable. We found Gina’s Yoga sessions quite comfortable and a little easier to what we are used to but expect these were pitched appropriately to the cohort. She was very entertaining too. What we didn’t know a lot about before we went were the ‘Soul Circles’ where we were broken into groups of around 20 and given a chance to ‘share’ each morning in line with a different mental health/personal issue theme of the day. We found this pretty eye opening whilst at the same time, never boring. We only chose to ‘share’ once each for the week. Despite visiting the States, we had never felt such a cultural difference in the way we and o few of the other South Pacific guests participated compared to a good percentage of the American guests. Definitely not a criticism, just an observation. What we didn’t feel super comfortable with was when we witnessed some very emotional people share their stories and then not have a qualified psychologist in attendance just in case. In fact, when my wife did cautiously share her current significant health condition, we both felt kind of hollow that there was no follow up to see if she was alright afterwards. The concern only came from a few of the other quests and no staff member after the session. All in all it was an amazingly unique and unforgettable week. Michael is a class act and amazing musician, Sara very entertaining and an excellent Karaoke and Music Trivia host, Gina equally entertaining (just add some more music questions from somewhere other than the US next time) and an excellent and inclusive Yoga instructor. Thank you to everyone for putting together our Soulrocker experience, we will be talking about it for years to come!

Unmatched on so many levels. Soulshine Bali is a beautiful and relaxing place to just take a step back and breath. The accommodations are excellent, the food is wonderful. But, its the Soulshine staff that make it feel home and wishing to return to catch up with the staff who became your friends almost overnight.

Wow, wow, wow! I am so grateful to have had the chance to experience this. Pure MAGIC from start to finish. From the moment you arrive you notice and feel lighter in every way. This is a beautiful place created by the Franti's where every detail is considered. If you love the music, come here. If you need to explore yourself and want change, come here. If you want to share an awesome experience with like minded people, definitely come here. And the list goes on. Oh, and by the way food is amazing, accommodations are perfect, and the music is over the top. Thanks for all! I will be back!

Welcome to Soulshine, where tranquility greets you like a long lost friend. Calming vibes, delicious food, stunning views and an amazing staff await you. Every single detail at Soulshine has been meticulously crafted to create a memorable experience you’ll never forget. When I think back to my magical stay at Soulshine, the word oasis comes to mind. Your soul will truly shine once you’ve had the pleasure of staying at this resort.

The Soulrocker retreats at Soulshine Bali are so magical. You focus on wellness in the morning, explore during the day (or go to the pool or spa), and rock out dancing all night. It’s so much fun! The staff are all so kind and make you feel right at home. The food is delicious. The rooms are very nice. We will come back!
