Bali: Wellness Goddess Retreat

Bali is a tropical island, so the weather here is warm and balmy all year long. The typical architecture of Bali is designed to be open air to the outdoors, with lush gardens and rural areas. This means that you will experience Bali's friendly animals, including frogs, fish, geckos, lizards, squirrels, birds, and maybe even a monkey or two if you visit the forest. Bali and Goddess Retreats are ideal for nature lovers! If you prefer a more urban style setting that is sealed off from nature, so there is no exposure to any animals, Bali island and our retreats may not be the right fit for you.

All Goddess Retreat packages include 7 Day / 6-Night group retreat for women, which you can choose a package that suits your own focus such as surf, fitness, yoga, wellbeing. Our retreat packages include accomodation, meals, wellness therapies, workshops, yoga sessions, cultural activities and much more, depending on your chosen retreat. If you are not sure which retreat will suit your personal goals, please feel free to contact us. We are always happy to help you make sure you are picking the best Goddess Retreat program for your needs.

You will book flights to fly into Denpasar Airport (DPS). You can arrive on the day the retreat starts and we will provide complimentary airport transfers on the first and last dates of the retreat. Also, you can choose to arrive before the retreat starts, and we are happy to provide you with pre-retreat hotel booking support, so you can get picked up from the airport when you arrive (for an additional fee), and then we can provide a complimentary pick you up from any hotel that lies within our pick up zone on the first day of the retreat. We can make your trip to Bali and Goddess Retreats a seamless experience where all you have to do is show up and enjoy! Please note that with any accommodation arranged pre and post retreat is not included in the retreat rate.

Absolutely! Most of the women on our Goddess Retreats are solo female travelers, so we are the perfect choice if you want to travel by yourself without being alone! Around 80% of our guests are solo travellers. Most of our guests make new friends, staying in touch long after their retreat finishes. Goddess Retreats is an ideal place to stay as a solo woman traveller.

Yes, of course! Many of our guests are solo travelers. If you wish to pick a shared room package, we can also match you up with a room mate.

No, sorry, this is not possible. We start and finish our retreats on set dates because all our programs are organized to be enjoyed as a group. Our guests highlight on our retreats is the amazing group dynamic we create by holding this space. We do offer options to personalize your retreat with menu choices and a selection of activity choices which are run on specific days and times and pre-arranged prior to arrival. Our 7 day retreats follow a set group schedule for each retreat package. All activities on the retreat are optional to attend.

Typically, our Bali retreat guests are women around 29 - 55+ and come from all around the world. We also have older and younger women on every retreat.... and all have loved their time here. Our guests come from all walks of life; different age groups, nationalities, sizes, backgrounds, and goals, and we do all we can to foster an inclusive environment, so that everyone is welcome and feels like part of the Goddess family. What unites guests at Goddess Retreats is not so much age or nationality; but rather, a fun-loving attitude and spirit for adventure, and all the wisdom they share with each other. We respect all our guests' varied religions and orientations. While we are a women’s retreat (with only female guests) we do have drivers, gardeners, security, and surf instructors. Our spa team are all female and our main retreat hosts are also female, yet it is not 100% a women-only environment. This may need to be taken into consideration for some of our guests depending on their religion.

To attend our retreats, you must have travel insurance. With most agencies, insurance must be purchased within 7 days of making your reservation. Please make sure that your insurance policy covers all of the sporting activities you plan to do on your Bali retreat package. This is the most important need for insurance because requiring any medical assistance overseas is costly. Also , depending on the policy and conditions, travel cancellation insurance will pay for some, or all, of the cancellation fees, should the need arise.

Yes, guests must be 18 years or older to attend Goddess Retreats, unless otherwise agreed to by management. Special exceptions for younger teenage guests may be allowed if you are traveling as part of a family or group booking, such as mum, daughter, auntie & niece.

Both solo and group travellers can feel comfortable travelling to Bali. There is no serious criminal activity and just regular safety awareness will ensure you have a great stay. There is a small amount of petty theft, so just like normal it's good to be aware of your possessions like your hand bag when going out in public places, but In contrast to other regions of South East Asia, female travellers can confidently travel around this island both during the day and at night.

We do offer last minute booking specials & other special offers throughout the year. Subscribe to our newsletter below to be in the know about exclusive VIP specials.

A wellness retreat is a completely different experience from a regular holiday. What makes a goddess retreat such a magical experience? The complete immersion into a week long retreat with carefully curated activities as a group and as an individual which means that you can focus and go deeper into enjoying the present moment and be carefree. A wellness retreat is a special time for you, a time to reconnect and recharge. Many of us lead busy lives, that are full to the brim with urgent demands and long to-do lists. Often, we can feel as though we are running on auto-pilot, just surviving rather than living a fulfilling life. Sometimes a regular holiday doesn’t leave us feeling refreshed and rested, especially if we over-indulged as a way to relax, or we had to attend to other’s needs at the expense of our own, or because we’re so wound up or burnt out that we have forgotten how to relax. On a Goddess Retreat, we take care of everything for you. We have spent 20 years perfecting the balance of ingredients that go into making a holiday that awakens the body, mind and spirit.

We’ve been running retreats for women for 20 years and the wonderful women that attend always impress us. One of the benefits of a wellness retreats is that it attracts women from all walks of life, creating a community of like-minded women. It’s called Sangha in Sanskrit. Feedback we’ve received from our women only retreats include: “As well as a deeper understanding of so many wellness therapies, I loved the chance to bond with and get to know other women” “We bonded so well as a group.” “An added bonus is sharing the time with beautiful like-minded women from all around the world…”. Having highly qualified and experienced leaders who truly live yogi lifestyles enables this space holding. Your Goddess Retreat leaders and owners are yogi devotees and some are teachers; this experience means that they are able to transmit authentic yoga to you (yoga actually is more about how you live off the mat, than the poses done on the mat). It's not just about being able to make complex shapes with your body. Being a true yogi means that they too are life-long students just like you, so they are understanding and can relate to what you need and what you want to get from life, lessons that we all learn in self-love, self-reliance and self-responsibility – whatever stage you’re at.

Absolutely not! Our classes are suitable for everyone! Our yoga retreats focus on finding inner balance and connection and are primarily hatha, restorative and yin in nature, so it will suit all levels. If you are usually a power yogini, please be aware we do not offer active vinyasa or astanga type yoga.

Goddesses come in all body types, ages and backgrounds. Many of our activities, and just getting around in Bali involve walking up and down numerous stairs, walking on uneven surfaces, swimming, cycling and doing activities in hot humid weather, and tropical sun exposure, so it is recommended that you be fully mobile and free from any significant physical injuries or serious illness when joining a retreat. We ask you to take responsibility in self-assessing if our retreat activities may suit you. Please feel free to ask for more information from our team about any specific activities we offer.
