Floating Leaf Eco Resort

The most beautiful people that make you feel like home the moment you get there, with positive energy and the most attentive attitude. Absolutely grateful for experiencing this and recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and immerse in Balinese culture. The best vegetarian food I ever had was at Floating Leaf, each meal was a feast and the chef and the entire team were amazing. Sukhma, Gus, Dara, Kadek, Eka and everyone else are super awesome and amazing people. I felt like I had a family who would constantly care about my wellbeing and I’m Extremely grateful for that ❤️

The ******* singing bowl Chakra Balancing and Nadi Cleansing session with Putu brought me profound clarity and healing. I have been back in the United States for a month and feel like a different person - the only way I can describe it is a sense of calmness and freshness. Thank you, Putu! I am so grateful to you.

I enjoyed my stay at The Floating Leaf; it was one of the most serene, relaxing stays I've had. I have been looking for a sanctuary to stay in and "find myself," and at Floating Leaf, I found the perfect spot. The location was not too far from the city center, yet I was surrounded by lush green fields. I also had the most delicious and nutritious meals, with recipes created by their chef, and poultry from their farm. The staff was friendly and accommodating, giving me the space I need while attending to my needs. The programs they offer like the spiritual cleansing, shamanic healing, and spa treatments, I didn't need to go anywhere. Thank you so much Floating Leaf Eco Resort for an amazing stay.

The staff were extremely friendly, the spa treatments were amazing, the food was fresh and so healthy and delicious. The bed was super comfortable and overall our two week stay there, which actually was extended for another 4 days. The overall feel at Floating Leaf was so relaxing and peaceful and exactly what we needed.

There is much that has been written about this resort, and in many ways it is very good. The staff are excellent, the service, the food, the resort facilities in general are all very good. But when there is one massive fail, sadly, everything else pales into insignificance. TRAFFIC NOISE. This resort is just 200m across a rice paddy field from the major coast highway, which is under heave traffic 18 hours a day. The very tasteful yoga platform is an open air space on the 2nd floor. It has grand views of the highway. The first and only yoga session we attended was drowned out by almost constant police traffic patrol sirens. Eventually, as we could only barely hear the yoga teacher saying things like “find your inner peace”, my wife was just laughing. The resort may as well be next to a major city's main road. It was just horrendous. The feeder road from the highway to the resort, is also the main road to the nearby town. It is traversed by motorcycle cars and trucks all day and night. Sleep was an illusion. The dull low pitched throb of heavy traffic is sickening after a while. The noisy higher pitched of motorcycles as they accelerate away from the gates of the resort is soul destroying. DOCTORED PHOTO. There is just one drone photograph of the resort and surrounds. All other photos are closeups and do not hint at the real environment surrounding the resort. This drone photo is severely photoshopped. it cuts out the feeder road, it takes out the highway, and it gives the impression they are in a peaceful and quiet place next to beaches. It is a GREAT LIE. And it as this photograph that convinced my wife that this would be a peaceful place. We believe they have since removed that photo from their website, after our complaint and request for refund. I include it here. LIES. They claim on their website that the resort is PEACEFUL, IDYLLIC, TRANQUIL. It is not. We opted to arrive a day early, at the resort’s invitation. and so we arrived about 9pm, got to bed sometime after 10pm. They knew, but DID NOT ADVISE US, that there was a local event on at 5am the next morning (Sunday). At first I thought it was a Punjabi Rave party next door or something. It turns out, an organised marathon began with extraordinary loud dance music, about 400m away. Bright lights, loud thumping music, went on for about 90 minutes. They could have told us it was happening. They could have said “don’t come on the extra night because of the marathon”. But no, they happily took our money. RATS. After the music stopped, the rats in the ceiling of our room began scurrying about. Then we noticed the stains of rat excrement and urine seeping through the ceiling above the bed. I noticed the smell of rats as we first arrived at the door of our room. But I didn’t say anything at that time. We advised after the first yoga class, that we would be leaving, and explained why. We were offered another room at their other resort, but they did not seem to listen our complaint was abo

This is a really beautiful location and the staff are lovely. The retreat I attended included a lovely group of people and the food was also lovely. The only downside is the traffic noise, which isn't such an issue for me because I live next to a busy road, but there were other guests that didn't cope so well. There was a lovely couple that left the retreat early. I found out later that he was an RFS volunteer and that the siren noises reminded him of fighting the big fires. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to thank him for his service. You, Sir, are a hero. There was some complaining from other people too, but in the end we made the best of it and I think people figured out how to filter out the noise. The hosts were apologetic about it. They were from Australia and said they thought it would be quieter. If you do go, please know that the resort is on the only side road that leads to the Sukawati town, which is a good sized town, so expect plenty of cars, buses and motorbikes. The only main road up the East Coast of the island is also within ear shot. I take ear plugs when I travel and recommend them and even though there is road noise I think this resort is worth the visit because it has so much going for it. I think if you come here knowing about the noise you'll be fine with it. Definitely have one of the traditional Balinese massages at this resort. So good! Also there was a trip to visit local artisans and while the prices seemed a bit exey the stuff they were selling was high quality and not your usual tourist rubbish. They have a real interest to the "eco" in their name and have water coolers instead of bottled water, refillable soap/shampoo/conditioner and cloth napkins. I guess when we all fly here that's probably helping to lessen the impact. There was a beautiful traditional purification ceremony and they teach you how to make the little offerings they put out everyday. These do seem to attract rats, but hey, it's Bali and you'll get rats no matter where you go. What's really special about this place is the building which has lots of bamboo and timber, and really beautiful round rooms. Read the room guide which has all kinds of stuff in it about their values and all of the great things they have done. They help to support a local school. How good is that! The yoga room is up high with good breezes and they say they built it here to avoid mosquitoes. I didn't see a mosquito the whole time I was here so that was great too.
