Pioneering Women’s Wellness Retreats in Bali Since 2003

When Goddess Retreats began in Bali in 2003, surfing holidays meant surf camps. Founder Chelsea Ross created something more: the world’s first surf retreat, bringing surfing together with yoga, spa, life coaching and personal growth for women. Out of that first retreat came Bali Goddess, a women-only wellness retreat for those who wanted the spa, healing and culture without the surf, launched before Eat, Pray, Love was even published. More than two decades on, Goddess Retreats offers award-winning wellness, spa and healing retreats for women in Ubud and Seminyak. As pioneers from the very beginning, we have been featured in Condé Nast Traveler, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, Tatler and Marie Claire, and recognized with Global Winner titles at international luxury and wellness awards.

Here are the questions women ask most before booking a wellness retreat in Bali, from choosing between Ubud and Seminyak to traveling on your own, what is included and how unlimited spa works. If your question isn’t answered here, we would love to help you plan your retreat.

How do I choose the right wellness retreat for me?

Choosing the right retreat begins with listening to where you are in your life right now.

Each of our Goddess Retreats is thoughtfully designed to meet women at different stages of their journey.

If you long to reconnect with your inner peace and restore your energy, our Wellness Goddess Retreat offers a nurturing space for reflection, healing, and spiritual renewal. For those drawn to movement and vitality, our Pilates, or Fitness Retreats bring the joy of physical strength and mindful balance. If you’re ready for transformation on a deeper level, our Healing Goddess Retreat combines traditional Balinese therapies with holistic wellness to help you release, realign, and renew.

No matter which retreat you choose, every experience is guided by the same intention — to help you feel more like yourself again. From private villas and daily rituals to our compassionate team who walk beside you throughout your stay, each retreat offers both structure and freedom, allowing your journey to unfold naturally.

When you choose the retreat that resonates with how you want to feel,  peaceful, strong, inspired, or whole,  you’ve already begun the path back to yourself.

Ubud vs. Seminyak: How do I choose the best area in Bali for my wellness retreat?

Choosing your ideal location depends entirely on the rhythm, environment, and atmosphere you want for your healing journey:

Ubud: The Spiritual & Cultural SanctuaryUbud is the lush, tranquil heart of Bali, making it the premier choice for deep rest, emotional recovery, and spiritual growth.
  • The Environment: Set amidst sacred temples, cascading rice fields, and a serene river flowing beneath a vibrant jungle canopy.
  • The Experience: It features an authentic, slow-paced Balinese charm where nature and healing effortlessly flow together. Our Ubud retreat property sits directly beside a historic riverside temple—long revered by locals as a place of purification and renewal. Here, you can immerse yourself in transformative water purification rituals and private blessings led by traditional Balinese healers.
Seminyak: The Vibrant Beachside Self-Care HavenSeminyak seamlessly blends premium wellness treatments with a chic, modern coastal lifestyle.
  • The Environment: A dynamic beachside landscape defined by ocean breezes, breathtaking sunset coastlines, and a cosmopolitan energy.
  • The Experience: This destination shifts the focus toward total body self-care, deep detox therapies, and refreshing luxury. It is perfect for women who want to balance daily yoga and restorative spa rituals with high-end boutique shopping, stylish organic cafés, and Bali’s trendiest sunset beach spots.
Whether you long to slow down completely under a jungle canopy or pair your self-care routines with a stylish coastal escape, both destinations offer an unforgettable gateway to wellness.

What makes Goddess Retreats different from other women only retreats?

Goddess Retreats is one of the world’s original women’s wellness and healing retreats since 2003. What makes us different is the depth of care and experience woven into every detail of your stay. This is not a group tour or generic spa package—it is a curated, all-inclusive healing retreat created by women, for women, with more than two decades of expertise in transformational travel.

1. A women-only sanctuary of support and sisterhood
Our retreats are exclusively for women, offering a safe, nurturing spaces where you can let go of daily roles and reconnect with your authentic self. Guests come from around the world to share stories, laughter and healing, often forming friendships that last long after the retreat ends.

2. Thoughtfully designed for solo travellers
Many guests arrive alone and find this is the perfect place to rest, reset and rediscover their strength. From airport transfers to daily host support, everything is taken care of so you can simply arrive and focus on your well-being.

4. A holistic approach to wellness
Each day blends physical renewal with emotional and spiritual nourishment—nutrient-rich meals, spa therapies, cultural immersion and guided practices that support nervous-system balance, self-love and empowerment. This holistic rhythm helps women release stress, recover from burnout, or move through life transitions with clarity and grace.

5. Two decades of trust and transformation

Our longevity speaks to the quality of our care, the professionalism of our international team and the authenticity of ours experiences. We were honoured as Best Global Cultural Retreat, Best Wellness Healing Retreats in Asia, and Best Global Women’s Retreat, affirming our commitment to excellence in women’s wellness travel.

What is a wellness retreat? How is it different from a holiday?
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.
Are Bali wellness retreats suitable for solo female travelers?

The vast majority of guests at Bali wellness retreats arrive as solo travelers, seeking a safe and empowering environment to focus on personal growth.

  • Seamless Social Integration: From group dinners to shared cultural excursions, our programs naturally foster deep connections, ensuring you have a supportive “tribe” from the moment you arrive.

  • Balance of Personal Space: While the community is always there, our retreat schedules respect your need for “me-time,” allowing you to retreat to your private room or enjoy a solo spa treatment whenever you wish.

  • Confidence-Building Environment: Navigating a new culture within a supportive group helps build the travel confidence many women use to continue exploring Bali independently after the retreat.
