The Best Wellness Retreats in Bali

1. Ocean Soul Retreat, Seminyak

Cocooned in a private luxury villa, complete with tranquil gardens, a cooling pool, and high fences ensuring privacy, the Ocean Soul Retreat is the perfect place to unwind in Bali. The retreat offers several programmes to cater to your wellness objectives, including Pilates, Yoga, Surf, Wellness Retreat for Women, and even a Freediving programme. All retreats run for 7 nights and include all your meals, as well as an unlimited supply of coconuts to keep you refreshed and full of electrolytes all day. A whole food nutritionist designs the menu, and all meals are delicious and packed with nutrients. 

If you want to combine wellness with fitness, as well as try something new, then the Surf programme offers a mix of therapy, massages, yoga, and of course, surf. Never surfed before? Don’t worry – the retreat includes 5 days of surf lessons with qualified instructors, and there’s a 2:1 instructor-to-student ratio. The Wellness Retreat for Women is the perfect option for those hoping to switch off, commit to inner work, and leave feeling like a new woman. There are 6 yoga sessions, wellness workshops, coaching sessions, and 4 holistic therapies, including acupuncture, reiki, reflexology, theta healing sessions, and more. You also have the choice of taking part in one additional activity, this could be a 2-hour spa package, surf lesson, or cooking class.

2. Fivelements, Mambal 

Inspired by the five elements of the natural world – earth, water, air, fire, and ether – the Fivelements retreat is the place to connect with Balinese spirituality and holistic treatments. The Signature Fivelements Retreat provides a totally transformative experience while allowing guests to experience traditional therapies and ancient Balinese practices. The three pillars of the retreat are plant-based cuisine, Balinese healing, and sacred arts. Balinese healing practices the Sekala-Niskala principle – Sekala represents the conscious world, and Niskala is the unconscious, unseen world. Healing rituals include intense bodywork, meditation, chakra balancing sessions, acupressure, and prana energy, which are performed by healers. The sacred arts sessions are powered by creativity and self-expression – think dance, yoga, somatic therapy, and visual arts.

While many of Bali’s wellness retreats are located in Bali’s main tourist towns, Fivelements is in the quiet countryside. The Ayung River runs along the resort, flowing beside the outdoor dining area where guests tuck into nutritious, delicious plant-based meals. The lush, tropical surroundings encourage retreaters to engage with harmony, spirit, and the environment, and leave feeling replenished and aligned.

3. Revivo, Nusa Dua

Immerse yourself in wellness and spirituality in this gorgeous resort, located on the lush hills of Nusa Dua. The location is the perfect setting for a transformative journey, located on 3 hectares of lush forest to explore. Revivo helps guests to unlock a new life for themselves, and leave feeling connected to vitality, balance, and happiness. There are 6 signature retreats here: Detox & Cleanse, Destress & Relax, Vitality & Longevity, Mindfulness & Emotional Balance, Sleep Well & Reset, and Organic Weight Loss & Re-shaping. We love that each retreat has a specific wellness objective, with a personalised programme to help you initiate long-term change. Whatever programme you take, you can expect a tailor-made mix of yoga, fitness, spa treatments, nutritious food, and healing therapies to help you address Revivo’s five facets of being: social, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. 

4. Solana Wellness Retreat, Ubud

With gorgeous eco-friendly architecture, outdoor yoga pavilions, and lush tropical gardens, Solana is the picture-perfect luxury wellness retreat. And it’s not all looks – beautiful pounds produce sounds of running water help to calm the nervous system, the rooms are washed in white and bamboo to feel like it’s your sanctuary, and the natural infinity swimming pool has jaw-dropping views of the tropical surroundings. There are several programmes catering towards wellbeing goals. Detox is designed to help you feel energised and lighter, Optimise is a mix of mindfulness and fitness, Love helps nurture authentic connections with loved ones, and Stress Relief helps you heal, rejuvenate, and replenish.

5. Jax Healing Retreat, Uluwatu 

Experience the healing magic of Kundalini at the Jax Healing Retreat. This is an intense, immersive, and powerful programme designed to help retreaters release their trauma. Combining Kundalini activation, bodywork, and breathwork, an experienced Kundalini facilitator will guide you in releasing blocked energy, processing trauma, and helping you build the skills to use that trauma for personal growth. If you are seeking a relaxed retreat to unwind and switch off from the world, then this might not be for you – the Kundalini activations hold a mirror up to your world, and it can be confronting. But if you’re ready to process grief, loss, and trauma, or want to unlock deep-seated trauma, then this is the Bali retreat to do it. There are also yoga sessions and cacao ceremonies.

6. Ayurvedagram Bali, Ubud

Based on the medicinal science of Ayurveda, which maintains that disease comes from imbalance in the body and/or stress, this retreat offers a holistic approach to mental, physical, and spiritual healing. Ayurveda uses food, yoga, herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, and panchakarma to restore health and wellbeing. We love that this retreat is tailor-made to suit your wellness objectives, whether that’s insomnia, autoimmune support, joint pain, skin health, stress management, or gut health. You also have 1-to-1 sessions with an Ayurvedic doctor to design a programme that will benefit you and help you sustain a healthy life. Take part in daily yoga, meditation sessions, healing therapies, massages, and much more. Other Ayurvedic treatments include rice baths, steam bath therapy, herbal oil and paste rubs, and more. If you’re ready to try something new, and want to leave feeling cleansed, light, and restored, then Ayurvedagram is a fantastic choice. You will also get access to the facilities – an infinity pool, lush surrounding gardens, a gardening activity centre, a co-working space, and more. 

7. Power of Now Oasis, Sanur

Yoga doesn’t get much more idyllic than in a bamboo shala, surrounded by a garden oasis, and on the beachfront. Power of Now Oasis is one of Bali’s most revered yoga studios, and as well as running yoga teaching courses, they also offer a week-long retreat to relax and reset. Guests get unlimited yoga classes, one private yoga class, one private meditation session, a nutritious breakfast and lunch, and four spa/holistic treatments, whether that’s a consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor or a sauna session.
