Find Serenity in Bali’s Spiritual Heart

Ubud is the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, defined by its dramatic landscapes and a profound connection to the island’s untamed beauty. Our retreat is nestled directly within a thriving ecosystem of original jungle, cascading river valleys, and emerald rice paddies. Traditional Balinese architecture is designed to breathe; our open-air spaces are thoughtfully crafted to invite the sunlight, the scent of tropical blooms, and the gentle island breeze into your daily sanctuary.

During your stay, you are immersed in the gentle rhythms of nature where the environment is alive with the soothing and vibrant sounds of the tropics. You will feel the grounding energy of moving water as you hear the constant, peaceful sound of water rushing through rice paddies and down rivers.

At night, the landscape transforms as you hear the rhythmic nocturnal symphony of frogs, crickets, and the local wildlife that call the jungle home. Our grounds, ponds, and surrounding paddies are shared with friendly local residents, including squirrels, tropical birds, geckos, and the occasional visitors from the nearby forested canopies.

Goddess Retreats is a haven for nature lovers who wish to reconnect with a living tropical ecosystem. Because we honor the authentic flow of our environment, our living spaces, especially our glamping bungalows and rooms with open-air bathrooms, are designed to be part of the landscape rather than separated from it.

If you prefer a setting that is more centrally located, you may wish to consider our Seminyak retreats. While Seminyak offers a different pace, please keep in mind that our coastal properties also celebrate this same open architecture, with villas that open to private gardens and the balmy island air, ensuring that a deep connection to nature remains at the heart of your stay.

Our Wellness Cuisine is designed to nourish both body and soul, celebrating the vibrant flavours of Balinese and Indonesian traditions. Each retreat includes daily breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, freshly prepared by our culinary team. Our seven-day programs feature three multi-course meals daily, with one evening left free to allow you the opportunity to explore the local dining scene at your own pace.

We focus on whole-food ingredients with a healthy twist, elevating traditional island recipes into nutrient-dense, flavour-rich dishes. You can expect a beautiful balance of colourful plant-based bowls, ocean-fresh seafood, and lean proteins, followed by wholesome treats designed to sustain your energy and support natural detoxification.

We happily accommodate most dietary preferences and food sensitivities, ensuring every meal is a seamless part of your restorative journey. Whether you are enjoying a signature sunrise smoothie or sharing a long dinner with new friends, dining at Goddess Retreats is an experience of mindful nourishment and effortless enjoyment.

Most of our guests enjoy the retreat to explore the great health benefits of taking a break from alcohol as part of their commitment to wellness.  For the comfort of all our guests, we prefer if our guests do not drink alcohol while on the retreat premises.  We believe all things are great in moderation, and if you wish to enjoy a few drinks while out and about, we respect your personal choice.

Ubud Retreats are located about 10 to 15 minutes’ drive from central Ubud. Guests can enjoy the serenity of nature while still being close enough to visit Ubud’s artisan markets, temples, cafes, and galleries. The retreat team can arrange transfers, so you can explore town attractions while returning to the quiet comfort of the retreat.

Absolutely. In fact, most of our guests join us on their own. Goddess Retreats was created as a sanctuary for women to travel solo with confidence. Our women’s retreats are a place where you can arrive as you are and feel instantly at ease.

From the moment you’re greeted at the airport, you’ll be cared for by our team and supported within a small, welcoming community of like-minded women. Whether you crave solitude, meaningful conversation, or shared laughter over dinner, you’ll find the perfect balance of privacy and connection.

Many of our guests tell us their solo retreat became one of the most empowering and healing experiences of their lives. It’s a rare opportunity to put yourself first, rediscover your inner voice, and return home renewed, inspired, and deeply centered in who you are.
