Pioneering Women’s Retreats Around the World 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, adventure, spa and yoga retreats for women around the world. 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.
