RELAXING WOMEN’S ONLY YOGA RETREAT IN BALI
If we’ve had the pleasure of hosting you at a previous getaway, you know that our yoga retreats in Victoria are far from traditional. There’s no chanting or opening ceremonies in which we ask you to explain why you’re on retreat, and we won’t take you through any ‘goddess’ practices. We do think you are a goddess though, and we’ll remind you of that whilst sharing a drink during our pool-side cocktail hour.
Our Wellness Retreat in Bali is a women’s-only boutique getaway and tickets are limited to 7. This is your chance to recharge your batteries whilst enjoying the pleasures of life: yoga, travelling, great food and company.

BALI YOGA RETREAT: ITINERARY & LOCATION
If you’re after a relaxing retreat experience that provides a daily schedule but also gives you plenty of free time, our Yoga Retreat in Bali is for you.
We have carefully crafted a 7-day retreat itinerary that truly allows you to Bliss Out in Bali!
Think nourishing foods, a tropical private pool villa, international & local cuisine, an optional Ubud excursion including an amazing sound healing, poolside cocktail hours, plenty of relaxation, time to explore the area, a full body massage, and of course yoga, Pilates and meditation.
We are giving you ample free time in your schedule so you have the option to explore everything that Bingin Beach has to offer, or catch up on zzz’s by the pool. On top of that, we’ve deliberately excluded 2 lunches and 2 dinners from the retreat itinerary in order to get your tastebuds going at the local restaurants and cafes.

SOLO TRAVELLERS
We absolutely adore solo travellers and we can honestly say that most retreats have a 50/50 split of friends travelling together and women who join our retreats alone.
If you are travelling solo but still want to twin share, that’s no problem at all. We’ll simply pair you with another (female) solo guest and – on request – we will introduce you to one another prior to the retreat so you can have a little chat before sharing a room together.
Even though you might be travelling alone, we promise you won’t ever feel alone, unless you want some space, of course! We’ll guarantee friendly faces, flowing conversation and inspiring friendships, plus plenty of private time just for you. But don’t just take our word for it, here are a couple Google reviews from previous guests.
REAL REVIEWS BY PREVIOUS GUESTS
”I have been on multiple retreats now, and will continue to do so as each retreat is fantastic. They are thoughtfully scheduled, with a great balance between unscheduled time, classes and group socialising. Sab is genuine and welcoming, and you can easily attend solo, knowing that the other attendees are likeminded. The venue was outstanding and Sab’s classes catered to all levels of proficiency – as always. I highly recommend Retreat Here if you are looking for an extremely well run yoga escape.” – Kris H.
”Had a fabulous time. The food was delicious, the accommodation and surrounds beautiful and the yoga restoring and energising. Sab sets a really lovely vibe, the whole weekend felt both relaxing and decadent. Have already booked the next one. Highly recommend.” – Rachel R.

From a pathway just beyond the villa’s gates, a stairway will lead you to Bingin beach where you’ll find several ‘Warungs’ (traditional family-owned bars and restaurants) with incredible views over the ocean.
Bingin Beach is located in the South of Bali – on the south western Bukit Peninsula – only a 60 minutes drive from Denpasar airport, depending on traffic.
The area has amazing cafes, restaurants, beautiful shops and relaxing day spas. Bukit Peninsula offers some of the best beaches in Bali with unrivalled views over the Indian ocean. Whilst not all beaches are easy to reach, they are definitely worth it.
Some of the restaurants that are located on the cliff offer the most incredible views, perfect for lazy sundowners!

A TASTER OF OUR YOGA RETREATS
DISCOVER THE TOP REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO ON A YOGA RETREAT IN BALI
Are you thinking about a women’s yoga retreat in Bali? If so, Bali is unmistakably the ideal place for such a transformative experience. Nestled among Indonesia’s more than 17,000 islands, Bali is often known as the “Island of the Gods”, and for good reason.
First visited by Chinese voyagers in 2500 B.C., who set up a complex and effective irrigation system for agriculture that’s still in use today and later discovered by the Dutch in the 16th century, Bali has a rich and varied history and is unique in Indonesia for its particular form of Hinduism. It stands out with over 10,000 temples and an incredible variety of plant and animal life.
Bali offers far more than palm-lined beaches and a tropical climate. For anyone seeking more than just the typical party atmosphere, Bali is a haven for your spirit. Our group yoga retreat in Bali offers a relaxing escape where you can find peace, purpose, and rejuvenation.
Beyond its postcard-perfect scenery ready to create picture-perfect moments, Bali captivates with its blend of ancient culture, warm local hospitality, and serenity and calm. It’s not just a place; it’s a feeling, a renewing and revitalising experience that speaks to the soul – especially when experienced through a yoga retreat designed just for you.
8 REASONS WHY TO BOOK THIS WOMEN’S YOGA RETREAT IN BALI
Are you contemplating your next travel adventure but looking for more than a typical holiday?
Where else can you combine yoga, Pilates, poolside cocktails, and personal growth with a getaway in a destination like Bali? Our yoga retreats speak directly to the heart of anyone who appreciates wellness and self-care, with a pinch of indulgence. Whether you’re a well-practised yogi, a complete beginner, yoga curious, or a solo traveller, we invite you to our group yoga retreat in Bali.
Here are eight reasons why you should book a women’s retreat in Bali.
1. EMBRACE BALI’S HUGE YOGA CULTURE
Besides its natural beauty, one of Bali’s top attractions is the thriving yoga culture. Can you picture yourself basking in the sun in a serene outdoor setting, surrounded by tropical greenery, or overlooking a beach?
Bali is a worldwide meeting point for those passionate about yoga. It’s a positive and supportive environment for women looking to elevate their yoga skills or start a yoga journey for the first time.
2. DISCOVER AFFORDABLE LUXURY SHOPPING SPOTS
In Bali, luxury and affordability go hand-in-hand. You’ll find fantastic splurge opportunities while shopping without the huge price tag. Whether you’re looking for souvenirs to remember Bali, gifts for loved ones, or intricately handcrafted artwork to become display pieces in your home, Bali’s bargains are like a treasure waiting to be discovered.
3. INDULGE IN AMAZING SPAS AND MASSAGES
Bali is famous for its exceptional spa and massage experiences at just a fraction of the cost you’d pay in Australia. Bali is the perfect place to spoil yourself, especially if you’re too busy and a spa is too expensive at home! The only tricky part is choosing to treat yourself to a traditional Balinese massage, a more contemporary spa treatment, or both!
4. BASK IN BALI’S IDEAL WEATHER
Bali boasts a tropical climate that lends itself beautifully to outdoor activities year-round. However, the dry season is particularly charming, typically from April to September. Imagine practising yoga in perfect weather, the type you may daydream about. A gentle breeze, sunshine, and air that is neither too humid nor too dry. Yes please!
5. IMMERSE YOURSELF IN BALI’S ENCHANTING NATURE
Bali’s landscapes are nothing short of breathtaking. The surroundings offer a peaceful setting for reflection and relaxation, from tiered rice paddies to grand volcanoes and beautiful shorelines.
Take a step towards relaxation and allow your natural surroundings to enhance your yoga sessions while increasing your sense of peace and wellbeing, as all your stresses fade away.
6. SAVOUR BALI’S HEALTHY CUISINE
Bali’s cuisine is a feast for the senses. You’ll be spoiled for choice with the wide variety of local and international foods, satisfying even the most refined palates. Whether you are health-conscious or have strict dietary requirements, Bali offers fresh, organic, and locally sourced foods. They include an exotic selection of regional fruits. Have you ever tasted mangosteen, rambutan, and papaya? They are so delicious you just have to try them all!
7. CONNECT WITH BALI’S WELCOMING LOCALS
One of the unsung heroes of any travel experience is the local community, and in Bali, you’ll encounter some of the friendliest and most helpful people on the planet. Their warmth and hospitality can transform a memorable trip into a meaningful journey. Many travellers form lasting connections that make Bali feel like a second home.
8. SATISFY YOUR SOLO-TRAVELLING SPIRIT
If you’re considering venturing on this journey alone, you don’t have to worry. Bali is incredibly welcoming and secure for mature solo women adventurers. The sense of community and openness makes it the ideal location for you to explore on your own terms while still having the chance to engage in group activities and social gatherings at our yoga retreat.
Our not-so-serious retreats for women are not just a pause from the grind but a complete reset. A Yoga Retreat in Bali with us offers you the chance to truly connect with yourself and a community of like-minded women, all with Bali’s serene and awe-inspiring landscapes as a backdrop.
There you have it – these eight compelling reasons make a women’s yoga retreat in Bali the perfect choice for solo female travellers seeking more than just a typical vacation.
