Fitness Goddess Retreat

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 journey that awakens the body, mind and spirit.

Typically, our Bali retreat guests are women around 29 – 49 and come from all around the world. However, 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.

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

Yes, of course! Many of our guests are solo travellers. If you wish to pick a shared room package, we will match you up with a room mate. Please consider if this is the right choice for you, or if you would prefer one of our affordable private room options.

You will be booked 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. You can also 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 extra activities, Bali tours, or accommodation arranged pre and post retreat, these are not included in the retreat rate.

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, geckos, lizards, squirrels, birds, and maybe even a monkey or two. 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.

No, sorry, this is not possible. We start and finish our retreats on set dates. All our packages are organized as retreats to be enjoyed as a group. 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 retreat does follow a set group schedule for each retreat package. All activities on the retreat are optional to attend.

Goddesses come in all body types, ages and backgrounds. Our fitness program includes high intensity training and many of our activities, and just getting around in Bali involve 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.

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 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.
