As we prepare to commemorate Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat’s first birthday, we decided to share some recent photos. There have been many changes, enhancements, and upgrades this first year as we attempt to overcome our growing pains, so we thought it was a good time to offer a fresh look.
My favorite time in the cycle of rice cultivation. The reflective terraces seem to glow green with new life and new potential.
We also wanted to take this time to thank all of the inspiring and beautiful guests we have had the pleasure of hosting this year. We owe you a great deal and you are now a part of our family. Thank you from the entire staff of Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat.

We also want to thank the compassionate and generous people of Sukawati Village for welcoming us with open arms and bright smiles. Working along side such graceful and happy friends has taught me a lifetime full of lessons and reminders.
The lower part of the two-story bamboo bridge connects guests to the Wellness Pool and Yoga Sanctuary.
Our organic permaculture garden is now mature. Looking back to planting those first seeds, we could hardly envision how well the fruits and vegetables would take to this rich and fertile soil.
The Lotus Lounge provides the perfect hide-a-way to contemplate and connect.

While we toiled to source our materials and furnishings locally, we could not pass on this hand carved day bed from Madura (pictured above). It’s my favorite perch to relax and maybe even get a nap in.

The bamboo gutter system shown above, helps direct the rainwater to our massive underground harvesting tanks. We are proud to say we do not take a single drop of water away from the hard working farmers or put out any dirty water back into the environment.
The upper bamboo bridge connects 2 of the 3 roof top terraces with the Yoga Sanctuary.
The passively cooled Yoga Sanctuary has provided stunning views and beautiful breezes form countless yoga classes, ceremonies, music and dance classes. Next year there will be weddings, concerts and lectures as well.
Thank you Sukawati. We love you!
We are so blessed to be here in beautiful Bali in a traditional seaside village that has retained the “Old Bali” feel while several of its neighboring towns have succumbed to the tourist onslaught. We have the best of all worlds here; authentic culture, uncrowded roads, right by the sea and great surf, yet only 20 minutes from Sanur and Ubud.
If you have not visited yet, we invite you to come be our guests and experience real Bali and true eco-luxury.
