Awesome and peaceful experience. Surroundings are filled with lush greenery and peaceful mountains . Room quality is good and service for food is nice

We got a great room at a good price. The location is very nice and peaceful and close to some warungs and nice restaurants. Sidemen is very underrated and a good spot if you want tranquility and Nirarta is at the heart of it.

This is the best we have found in Bali it is the Nirarta Center for living, a place of such good spirit, peace, and relaxation. We have never found a quiet, beautiful and sweet place like this, very beautiful views, fresh and quality food, wonderful yoga in the morning and evening activities, thanks to Peter for a wonderful oasis !!!

It was great to get together with Peter at his centre after having initially met him back in January in Montreal for the 'Conversations on the Edge of Silence' seminar which he led. His wife Dayu and him have done a great job with the centre and they are currently working on projects to make it even better. They have a great staff! I mostly dealt with Gusti and Ellie who are sweethearts. My room was spectacular, spacious and the view was breathtaking! If you walk down the hill of the centre, you get to a very nice river. From the centre, you can take nice walks to some beautiful places, namely pretty rice paddies. The amenities and meals are just fabulous. I was also invited to join the staff for two daily meditation sessions. I highly recommend this place, especially if you want to experience Bali off the standard tourist circuit.

I stayed at Nirarta Retreat for the whole month of November 2022. Special place, through and through...I found Peter's (the owner of the retreat) way of meditating incredibly simple and powerful at the same time. They teach it twice a day - morning and late afternoon. I am also very grateful that the staff come to meditate as well. Finally, I see the yogic principles of equanimity in practice! I enjoyed going for daily dips in the river Unda...It was like a daily cleanse for me; I saw beautiful colorful birds and so many butterflies! It was easy to think I was in paradise... I found Sidemen to be a perfect combination of weather in November. It was ~33% of rain, ~33% of sun, and ~33% of clouds. Not hot, not cold, not humid. Just perfect. Accomodation was comfortable and specious. Bali is still recovering from "Covid no tourism policy" and at Nirarta they too, were doing some small renovations. The retreat property is HUGE and there is a lot of work that needs to be done on a daily basis. But they were managing to keep things clean, functional, and comfortable for their guests. I LOVED my food...There are not that many places in Bali that know how to cook oatmeal or even have it on their menu! Nirarta does and it's really good :) The view from the restaurant is breathtaking...it was healing for my downtown-big-city-heart to see it every day. I felt more spacious every day as I absorbed the beauty of the landscape. I highly recommend this retreat for a short or long term stay. You will feel the purity and potency of the energy of Nirarta as soon as you enter. Enjoy!!!

Unique space to spend few days far away from South Bali noises, cars, tourists and trash. This is best place in Sideman for me.

For many years we have been coming here, like a divine fairy tale. Magical energy helps to calm the body and soul.

Nirarta is heaven on earth. We stayed there for about a week and it was absolutely lovely. The environment is very calm so for us it was the perfect place to get some rest while making day trips by motorcycle around the Sidemen area. The rooms are very spacious, clean, beautiful, and each have an amazing view. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious ánd healthy. The owners are very helpful and friendly as well. I also enjoyed the free meditation in the mornings, guided by the owner Peter. We enjoyed our stay here so much and will definitely be back!
