Yoga mats, the outdoor fire pit, the spacious unit

The retreat was cosy, clean, with great facilities for families. It's quiet and just five minutes away from the beach. If you're into walking, the coastal path is stunning and will lead you to Jan Juc beach.

Such a relaxing place to stay. Huge comfy bed, wonderful shower and bathroom facilities with a light and airy living area.

Location was amazing. Quiet, eco, not commercialised and overbuilt. Very close to beaches, nature and cliff top walks. Local shops had a nice friendly vibe, mellow and relaxed feel. Friendly local Aussies, like Aus of old.

Really beautifully appointed and new throughout. We would have liked a little more seclusion but the shrubs are getting up there.

We LOVED our stay at Desa Retreat. Emma was amazing, so accommodating, so friendly, so helpful. The perfect way to start our honeymoon after the emotion and excitement wedding. We felt at home and were super comfortable in Mukti Villa. Emma text us prior to arrival to be sure we had access to the villa on arrival. We were welcomed with a greeting card, fresh flowers and homemade body butter. We are so glad we were able to have a night at Desa Retreat and can’t wait to return on our anniversary.

We stayed one night in the new Villa, it was very nicely set up, the villa was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was really comfortable and loved the organic soap and shampoo. The garden was beautiful as well but didn't really have time to enjoy it as we left quite early. Everything was as expected. Lovely place.

Comfort, warmth, tasteful, elegant and wonderful personal touches

Lovely space... natural light ...seeing the sky through the high window... the rain shower

The property was beautifully clean, styled and comfortable! It was quiet and relaxing and perfect for our girls weekend away. Loves every detail about the villa.
