At the 19th Annual World Luxury Hotel Awards, Goddess Retreats was honoured with three international recognitions, including:
Global Winner for Best Luxury Cultural Retreat,
Asia Winner for Best Luxury Wellness Healing Retreat
Asia Winner for Best Luxury Women’s Retreat
Honoured as a Global Cultural Retreat
This recognition means more to us than words can express. Since our founding in 2003, sharing the beauty of Balinese culture has been at the heart of what we do. Every part of the retreat experience, from the sacred healing ceremonies to the locally sourced botanicals in our spa, is shaped by the spirit of this island and its people.
Our cultural connection is not something we add to our retreats; it is the foundation of everything we create. Through long-standing relationships with Balinese healers, artisans, and temple communities, we have been able to offer women a truly authentic connection to the island’s living traditions.
We are deeply honoured to be recognised globally for this devotion. It acknowledges the care and respect we hold for Balinese heritage and the women who travel from all over the world to experience its magic with us.
Wellness and Healing at the Heart of Every Retreat
Our award for Best Luxury Wellness Healing Retreat celebrates what has become a defining part of the Goddess experience — a holistic approach to wellbeing that goes far beyond pampering.
Over the past two decades, we’ve carefully curated a trusted healing community of more than 18 traditional and modern healers who work exclusively with our guests. These practitioners are respected within their communities, and the therapies they share are not available through mainstream wellness tourism. From energy balancing to temple water blessings, every healing journey is deeply personal and offered with authenticity and care.
Each retreat is designed to meet women where they are — whether seeking rest, clarity, renewal, or a deeper spiritual reconnection.
A Space Created for Women, by Women
Receiving the title of Asia’s Best Luxury Women’s Retreat holds special meaning for us. Goddess Retreats was founded on the belief that women deserve a space to rest, reflect, and reconnect without expectations or roles to play.
What began as one of the world’s first women-only retreats has grown into a community of over 18,000 women from around the world. Across our two sanctuaries — the coastal oasis of Seminyak and the tranquil jungle haven of Ubud — we continue to craft experiences that honour each woman’s unique journey.
Here, every stay is all-inclusive, every treatment is unlimited, and every detail is designed with warmth and intention.
Our Ongoing Journey
These awards are a reflection of two decades of devotion, from our incredible team, our long-time Balinese partners, and the thousands of women who have trusted us to hold space for their personal growth.
We see each recognition not as a finish line, but as encouragement to keep evolving with care. We remain committed to preserving authenticity, uplifting women, and sharing the beauty of Bali in a way that honours its culture and community.
To every woman who has shared her story, her laughter, and her trust, we thank you. You are the heart of these honours.
We invite you to experience for yourself why Goddess Retreats continues to lead as a global pioneer in women’s wellness and cultural retreats in Bali.
