Freediving & Underwater Meditation Slow Down Retreat

I flew from Bali to Sumbawa for just 3 days, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions lately. Ocean Mantra Village is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos.

I absolutely loved the silence, the calm ocean, the incredibly fresh air, and the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up to birds singing every morning. The white beach and peaceful atmosphere made this yoga retreat in Sumbawa feel truly special.

The retreat program was beautifully balanced: yoga, freediving, ocean activities, and enough time to fully slow down and reconnect with yourself. After only 3 days, I felt like I had rested for a whole week!!

And the food was honestly amazing, much better than at most retreats and hotels I personally stayed at before.

Beautiful retreat, wonderful people, and an amazing price-quality balance. So happy I found this place ??

Best thing I have done for myself for many years was to spend couple of days here.
Everything you encounter is so professionally created, from meditation to yoga, from fruits to deserts, from deep diving to night pool experience�
Always plan a buffer time at the end of your planned duration. Because you will extend it most probably�
Thank you Misha, Anke, Angie and every member of the amazing team behind this incredible place!

Ocean Mantra Village in Sumbawa is honestly one of the most beautiful places I�ve stayed at. Not only because of the design and location, but because of the whole philosophy behind the retreat. Everything feels intentional, mindful and deeply connected to nature.

The space is positioned between two stunning empty beaches, with beautiful snorkeling reefs just close to the shore. It feels peaceful, untouched and very grounding.

The food was absolutely amazing - healthy, nourishing, with many vegan options, no seed oils used, and everything prepared in such a way that iy genuinely gives you the feeling of home.

They have different types of accommodation, from glamping to beautiful bungalows. I stayed in one of the bungalows with a stunning view of a volcano... The standard between the rooms is very similar, the main difference is AC or no AC, and I believe the bungalow is slightly bigger, but honestly both options are gorgeous.

One of my favourite things at Ocean Mantra was the pool with underwater music. Floating in the water while listening to mantras and relaxing music was such a special experience and became one of my favourite daily rituals.

They also offer small daily activities like yoga and meditation, and the shala is absolutely perfect. Spacious, open, with a beautiful ocean view and such calming energy.

It�s one of those places that makes you slow down, reconnect and simply feel good. I would definitely return.

Thank you!

I stayed at Ocean Mantra for 9 days (I had originally booked 5 and extended my stay by another 4 nights), and I honestly wish I had stayed longer.
Everything felt perfect for me: the room (I stayed in one of the glamping tents and had an amazing view over one of the two beaches the resort overlooks), the atmosphere, and the activities.
The resort offers a beautiful bamboo yoga shala with a stunning sunrise view. There are two yoga classes and two meditation sessions per day, led by an amazing teacher.
The pool is absolutely incredible, nautilus shaped, with a small deeper section in the middle. There�s even underwater music, which makes underwater meditation an unforgettable experience. At night, the lights in the deeper tubular section recreate the feeling of being under a starry sky.
The freediving and snorkeling sessions were so much fun, and the house reef is full of life and healthy corals. During my stay, I saw blacktip reef sharks, a large eagle ray, a couple of big turtles, and even buffaloes on the beach. I also spotted a wild horse.
When it comes to food, the resort offers healthy and nutritious meals. I honestly don�t think I�ve ever had such colourful plates full of vegetables anywhere else in Indonesia. There were so many vegetables and so much variety.
The staff, including the yoga and freediving teachers, are super friendly and easygoing. They made me feel at home.
I highly recommend Ocean Mantra. It�s probably one of the best retreat experiences I�ve ever had.

Beautiful and very unique retreat in one of the most impressive locations I�ve seen in Indonesia. The nature around the retreat is incredible - mountains, bays, beaches, and even a volcano nearby create a truly special atmosphere.
The rooms are comfortable and stylish, with a level of design and comfort much higher than what is usually expected from retreats. Everything worked well during the stay: hot water, electricity, strong water pressure, and stable internet in the restaurant area, which is impressive for such a remote place.
The food was tasty and diverse, with different meals every day and good options like fish and eggs.
You can enjoy yoga, meditation, free-diving, snorkeling, SUP paddling and beach hoping here.
The beaches nearby are amazing, especially the walk to Secret Beach. Overall, Ocean Mantra Village is very high-quality project with great potential to become even better.
