MANA SANCTUARY BALI
A luxury solo retreat in Bali for deep rest, recovery, and a full system reset.
Mana Sanctuary is the perfect setting for a solo traveller to recalibrate. Reset your nervous system, take the time to properly recover, unburden your mental load, and learn what it means to enjoy your own company; all under the palms of our riverside sanctuary. No planning: no pressure. Just show up and we take care of the rest.
Solo Retreat in Bali
Mana Sanctuary has been created by the team behind Escape Haven, one of the world’s most awarded wellness retreats. For almost two decades, we’ve supported over fifteen thousand guests through rest, recovery, and meaningful change. Mana is the next evolution of that work: more personalised, more structured, and more focused on long term results.
The Mana solo retreat in Bali offers the space to pause and come back to yourself; in nature, in stillness, and in the quiet rhythm of deep rest. Modern life moves fast, and the decision to retreat, or travel, alone is often the most powerful one you can make.
Mana Sanctuary has been designed with purpose and active recovery. Your sleep sanctuary is designed for deep rest, the outdoor jungle gym is for movement, and the riverside wellness spa fit with contrast therapy, infrared sauna therapy, and spa treatments. Each element of your stay is a structured reset with real results. Protein-forward nutrition, biomarker tracking (HRV, sleep score, stress score), healing sessions, and movement classes are included in the retreat. This isn’t your standard Bali holiday – this is a full-body and mind recovery experience backed by science.
Your Wellness Retreat
The Foundation Reset
Our six-night Foundation Reset gives solo travellers the chance to move, breathe, feast, and reset entirely on their own terms. With chef-created, protein-rich meals, daily movement, and advanced health practices like yoga, pilates, and contrast therapy, the Foundation Reset is designed to reset the nervous system, improve sleep patterns, and reduce cognitive overload.
From there, you have the freedom to deepen your experience by adding one of our seven Pathways – whether that’s Longevity & Lifespan, Deep Rest, Movement & Vitality, Mana Healing, or Mindful Focus. Our Pathways allow solo travellers to personalise the Foundation Reset specific to their own wellness goals. It’s your retreat, shaped entirely around you.

Arriving at Mana Sanctuary
When you arrive at Mana, you are welcomed into your sanctuary for the week. You’ll meet the team who will be looking after you, and are gently guided around your space.
Your shoes are taken, and from that moment on you move barefoot through the sanctuary. It signals something simple but powerful: you can begin to slow down.
You’re then guided to your first specialised spa treatment in the riverside wellness centre. You’ll feel your nervous system begin to settle almost immediately.
Over a refreshing drink, the retreat guide will walk you through the week ahead, shaped around the preferences you’ve already shared. You don’t need to plan or organise anything. It feels good to allow someone else to lead – you can feel yourself start to let go, and relax into the atmosphere.
All meals are prepared by our chef – the food is thoughtful, generous, and designed to support how you want to feel.
In the afternoon, you will be eased into a gentle session in the glass-enclosed poolside movement shala. Breath and movement come together in a way that prepares the body for a deeply relaxed, restful evening.
As the sun sets behind the trees along the river, you gather around the fire pit with some other guests. There’s no pressure – just easy conversation, a few laughs, and the quiet sense of being among people who understand why you’re here. You enjoy a delicious 3 course meal under the palms.
Later, a bath is drawn. Your room is prepared with simple sleep rituals to help you unwind. You sleep deeply.
A WEEK AT MANA
Most guests arrive in push mode from their busy lives. A little tired, a little wired, and not quite able to switch off.
Mornings start slowly. Tea, wellness shots, movement if you feel like it – pilates, fitness, yoga or mindful arts.
You move through your day between bodywork, meals, rest, and guided expert sessions, without having to think about what comes next. Someone is always there to guide you, if you want it. Everything is optional. During the afternoons, you drop into what we call retreat mode. Your shoulders soften. Your breath deepens. The constant mental noise begins to quiet. You feel back in your body, and relaxation starts to feel natural again.
Evenings are simple. Nourishing food. Easy conversation around the fire pit as the sun sets. Or quiet time to yourself. You sleep more deeply than you have in a long time.
Each day builds on the last. Your energy returns. Your mind feels clearer. There’s more space, more ease, and often a sense of creativity that hasn’t been there for a while.
By the end of the week, you’re not just rested. You feel like yourself again. Clear, energised, and ready to return to your life in a different way.
Enhance your solo retreat
Mana Pathways
Mana Sanctuary has created seven Pathways to reset and rejuvenate in a way that meets your needs. As a solo traveller, you have the freedom to choose the Pathway that aligns with where you are right now – and where you want to go.
The Core Reset
Every retreat starts here. Six all-inclusive rest and regulation nights with protein-forward menus, infrared detox, invigorating cold plunge, compression and red light therapy and evening downshift that's founded in sound and breath to promote deep rest.
Strengthen clarity, presence and self
Work with our men's mental health coach, somatic guide, nervous system coach and mobility mentor in discreet and supportive sessions. You'll connect better, in all aspects of your life. This pathway is ideal for the modern man who holds a lot and rarely pauses.
Gentle Cleanse, Deep Renewal
The Ayurveda detox retreat pathway will bring the body back into balance through personalised treatments, massage, and herbal remedies under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic doctor and an ancient arts guru.
Strength that supports your life
Experience the joy of movement grounded in active-recovery. Layer the Movement & Vitality pathway with your six-night reset retreat to participate in movement with intention, not intensity. Spend time in our outdoor jungle gym, energise on our padel court, find your rhythm in the Balinese waves with surf and SUP.
Clarity, calm and intentional presence
Be guided by your personal mindfulness facilitator, breathwork trainer and mind-body coach to refine your focus and relish in the present through meditation and Tai Chi movement. Ideal for those seeking greater mental stamina, calmer focus, and better life.
SLEEP, CLARITY, IMMUNITY
Reset your sleep cycles and repair the nervous system with a private sleep and recovery mentor, restorative yoga guide and sound-healing specialist and daily spa rituals. You'll emerge energised and inspired with new mental clarity and a stronger immunity.
Emotional Clarity
Quiet the inner noise and build emotional resilience. You'll receive expert guiding for one-on-one somatic healing, instinctive energy work and integrative coaching alongside our expert healers in breath and movement. Ideal for those wanting to release old patterns, feel more grounded, connect better.
Thrive to live longer
Recalibrate and future-proof your body and mind for the life you lead with evidence based therapies, PEMF, HBOT, IV infusion and more. You'll work with a personal wellness specialist, nervous-system coach and recovery therapist to establish sustainable habits that measure your health span in vitality, mobility and presence.

Visiting Mana Sanctuary As A Solo Guest
Travelling solo can be daunting – but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, the large majority of our guests at Mana Sanctuary and within our other award-winning retreat, Escape Haven, have chosen to come alone. And all end up saying that it was one of the best decisions they’ve made.
With a maximum of 14 guests at any time, Mana feels intimate: never lonely. Shared meals and morning classes create natural connection without pressure, and you’ll find that most guests arrive alone too. Your days have a thoughtful rhythm – morning movement, nourishing meals, your chosen Pathway sessions, and evenings designed to wind down. You’re never left wondering what to do, but the structure is gentle, not rigid.
Your private time is yours. Your sleep sanctuary, your 1:1 Pathway sessions, and your personal consultations are designed for solitude and depth. Solo travel at Mana means the retreat adapts to your needs.
