Whether it's spiritual healing, yoga and meditation, or learning to surf, these retreats in Bali invite you to fully immerse in fitness, health & wellness.
There’s just something about Bali that grounds me. Maybe it’s the mix of culture and nature, blissful spa treatments and even Balinese healing rituals. Over the years I’ve been living in Bali, I’ve witnessed the growth of its wellness offerings, and wellness retreats in Bali are on the rise.
These holistic programs for mind and body reset often take place for multiple days. They let you reconnect with yourself and others through a variety of activities, from sports, fitness and learning new skills, to mindful movement, meditation, and more.
So, as someone who’s always on the lookout for things to do to completely switch off (in the name of self-care, of course!), these are my top picks for the best retreats in Bali.
