At the 19th Annual World Luxury Hotel Awards, Goddess Retreats received three prestigious international recognitions:
Asia Winner: Best Luxury Women’s Retreat
Global Winner: Best Luxury Cultural Retreat
Asia Winner: Best Luxury Wellness Healing Retreat
Honoured as a Global Cultural Retreat
This global recognition means more to our team than words can express. Since our founding in 2003, sharing the true beauty of Balinese culture has formed the heart of our mission.
Every single aspect of our retreat experience reflects the spirit of Bali. For instance, we offer sacred water purification ceremonies alongside locally sourced spa botanicals.
Furthermore, our cultural connection forms the permanent foundation of everything we create. Through long-standing relationships with Balinese healers, artisans, and temple communities, we offer guests an authentic connection to living traditions.
Consequently, receiving global recognition for this devotion fills us with immense pride. This award acknowledges our deep respect for Balinese heritage and the incredible women who travel worldwide to join 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.
