Description

Vajra Jahra Retreat Center is a retreat destination created to restore harmony between humanity and nature while fostering deep community and intrapersonal connection. Every stay is designed to feel grounding, effortless, and meaningful.

The property features 12 studio villas arranged in a unique radial layout that naturally draws guests toward shared gathering spaces. Every pathway is interconnected, encouraging movement, chance encounters, and community. Each studio villa is private, surrounded by jungle or waterfall views, and includes an en-suite bathroom and personal deck for quiet reflection.

Our amenities are designed to support comfort in nature and intentional living. Guests enjoy an open-air yoga shala, infinity pool, private hiking trails, secluded jungle swimming pools, and a chef’s kitchen with a communal dining space that brings everyone together around fresh, local cuisine.
