The retreat guide 2026–2027 edition
Yoga retreats in Bali.
Find your own kind of time away.
Twenty options for 2026 and 2027, from focused Ubud practice and women-only weeks to village culture, private stays and surf camps.
About this guide: We reviewed current provider information for this October 2026 update. This is an editorial comparison, rather than a ranking based on first-hand visits. Review My Retreat offers paid marketing services to retreat providers. Check current details and book directly with the organiser.
Bali offers much more than one kind of yoga retreat. You can join a hosted group, book a room with classes, build private practice into a holiday or put surfing at the centre of the week. This guide keeps the breadth of our original twenty-provider shortlist while making those differences easier to compare.
Choose your kind of day
Choose the programme first, then the setting. A focused yoga week, a women-only wellness package, a surf camp and a venue-hire service are different offers. Look for the teaching, food, group format and free time you actually want.
We checked current official provider pages for this October 2026 update. The comparison focuses on advertised formats and practical booking distinctions. It does not claim first-hand visits, independent clinical assessment or a ranking based on guest-review scores.

A closer look
Explore the full Bali shortlist.
Blooming Lotus Yoga
Lodtunduh, UbudBlooming Lotus offers four-day and seven-day retreats at its Ubud centre, with two daily yoga classes, meditation and workshops. The provider welcomes beginner and intermediate practitioners and advertises groups of up to 16. Its current four-day package starts from US$350 per person, checked in October 2026, with accommodation and two meals a day.
Before booking: Lunch, airport transfers and the stated tax/service fee are separate from the headline package. Teacher training is a different course from the short retreat.
Goddess Retreats
UbudThe Bali Goddess programme combines daily yoga, meditation and breathwork with spa treatments, meals and a choice of cultural or leisure experiences. Shared rooms, solo rooms and villas make the accommodation decision central to the price. It is a structured option for women who want a hosted week with a broad activity mix.
Before booking: Ask for current room rates and programme details. Promotional offers on the page can expire, and included transfers have defined pickup zones and retreat dates.
Pelan Pelan Bali
Cemagi area, near CangguPelan Pelan’s Yoga & Wellness package includes five yoga sessions per week, treatments, a cooking class and time to relax. Its current seven-night shared-room offer starts from €779 per person, checked in October 2026. Daily breakfast and weekday lunches are included, so it has a different food arrangement from a full-board retreat.
Before booking: This is the non-surf package. Surf lessons can be booked separately; confirm dinners, weekend meals, room choice and the actual treatment list.
Yogmantra Bali
Gianyar areaYogmantra’s twelve-day programme combines yoga and meditation with a substantial excursion schedule. The current page advertises private accommodation, vegetarian breakfast and dinner, daily massage and a one-way airport transfer for US$1,250 per person. Flexible arrival is offered by arrangement, with advance notice requested.
Before booking: Read the actual timetable: many days are devoted to touring. Admission tickets and personal expenses are excluded, and lunch should not be assumed to be included.
Udara Bali
Seseh coastUdara offers individual retreat stays with a choice of arrival date and length. Its current package describes access to a varied daily yoga timetable, spa facilities, full board and a massage for each night stayed. Hatha, Vinyasa and Aerial are among the advertised styles; check the schedule for the days you plan to visit.
Before booking: Choose the ordinary retreat package if you want regular meals. Separate cleanse programmes have different food regimes. The Sunday festival also makes that day busier than the rest of the week.
Lumeria Yoga
Pengosekan, UbudLumeria’s in-house offer is based on accommodation with access to its yoga classes and sauna, rather than a fixed group itinerary. The published room choices include single- and double-occupancy bungalows and lofts. It can suit travellers who want a yoga base while keeping space to explore Ubud independently.
Before booking: Confirm the live class schedule, room rate and meal arrangements. The published inclusion list does not make this a full-board package.
Solana Wellness Retreat
Ubud areaSolana advertises personalised wellbeing programmes, yoga and group retreat hosting, with plant-based food and a bamboo practice space. Its themes include stress, fitness and detox. Choose by the concrete timetable and food arrangements, rather than assuming a programme name establishes a health outcome.
Before booking: Confirm current operation, dates and inclusions directly: the website flags a day-retreat offering as unavailable alongside other programme information. Ask which optional treatments are involved and avoid assuming all packages are equivalent.
Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat
SukawatiFloating Leaf is a retreat venue offering support for visiting teachers, an upcoming group calendar and personalised programmes. Its Sukawati yoga space is part of the appeal for hosted groups, while the actual teaching, meals and excursions depend on the selected programme. It is useful both for guests comparing hosted weeks and teachers planning a group.
Before booking: Check the precise property before paying. Some personal-retreat pages continue booking at sister property Bodhi Leaf, so a Floating Leaf web page does not always mean a stay at the same venue.
Bali Wellness Retreat & Yoga Travel
Venues across BaliBali Wellness Retreat & Yoga Travel is a retreat-planning service with a directory of venues in and around Ubud and elsewhere on the island. It helps group leaders compare settings and assemble a retreat. This entry is useful if you are organising a group, rather than looking for one fixed, publicly scheduled yoga week.
Before booking: Request a quote for the named venue, dates, room allocation, meals, transport and cancellation terms. The visiting teacher defines the practice; there is no single yoga timetable across the directory.
Balitrees Retreats
Sesandan, TabananBalitrees describes a collaboration between the local ashram, Perguruan Seruling Dewata and Sesandan villagers. Its published retreat programme includes morning and afternoon yoga and meditation, meals and changing village activities such as cooking, crafts or music. The focus on local practice and everyday culture distinguishes it from a resort-led yoga holiday.
Before booking: Check the duration, room category, teaching arrangements and included excursions. Cultural activities vary with weather, hosts and the guests present; transfers should be confirmed separately.
Suenyo Eco Retreat
Tabanan, beside the Yeh Poh RiverSuenyo is a bamboo-pavilion property in Tabanan with private yoga, guided meditation and a spa menu. It is a different format from joining a fixed yoga group: you can shape a more private stay around the sessions you book. The river setting and architecture are part of the accommodation experience.
Before booking: Ask what is included in the room rate and what costs extra. Private yoga and rituals need their own booking arrangements; a room reservation does not automatically create a residential yoga programme.
Surf & Yoga Canggu
Padonan, CangguSurf & Yoga Canggu separates its yoga-focused Yogi package from a surf-only option and a combined Balance package. Current Yogi and Balance information includes two daily yoga classes, accommodation, breakfast and dinner, with different room categories and lengths of stay. Surf coaching and equipment belong to the relevant surf packages.
Before booking: Compare the selected package and occupancy carefully. Payments are in rupiah, and a private double room can carry a single-occupancy supplement. Coaching and equipment should not be assumed in the yoga-only option.
The Ark Bali — The Reason Retreat
Penestanan, UbudThe Reason is The Ark’s in-house seven-day programme, combining morning yoga with local crafts, cooking, waterfall and temple excursions, and time to rest. The current calendar includes December 2026 and several 2027 departures. Meals, scheduled activities, airport transfers and one massage are described in the package.
Before booking: Choose a live departure and confirm the room and price. Shared-room bookings are intended for couples or friends booking together; do not assume an automatic roommate match for solo travellers.
The Palm Tree House
CangguThe Palm Tree House advertises boutique retreats for women with yoga-and-spa, surf, fitness, Pilates and other package choices. The website also uses the Palm Tree Sanctuary name. Its standard format is six nights and seven days, with shorter or longer stays available by arrangement and flexible arrival dates.
Before booking: Confirm the actual house, group size and package inclusions, as pages describe different configurations. Obtain current rates rather than relying on older launch offers, and read the food and treatment details.
Ubuntu Bali Eco Yoga Retreat
Tibubeneng, CangguUbuntu offers yoga-inclusive accommodation, guided classes and tailored retreat programmes in Canggu. Its current short-retreat menu includes a three-day, two-night option, while longer stays can follow a more independent residency rhythm. The Mysore Ashtanga programme has its own participation expectations, separate from casual guided classes.
Before booking: Beginners entering Mysore are asked to commit to a longer learning period. Check that requirement, your chosen room/package, meals, service charges and the live timetable.
Bali Yoga Retreats
UbudBali Yoga Retreats’ current page describes a six-day retreat with accommodation and food, replacing the five-day format in the earlier guide. It offers flexible start dates with the exact timetable confirmed on enquiry. Treat the programme as a residential practice option and ask who will be teaching your chosen stay.
Before booking: Request a written quote for the exact room, dates and inclusions. The newer and older versions of the provider page show different prices, so a search result or old link may not be a reliable final total.
Gaia Retreat Center
UbudGaia offers meditation programmes and retreat-villa hire alongside a separate detox-and-yoga programme. Those choices have materially different daily routines and food arrangements. If yoga and regular meals are your priorities, ask specifically for the programme that provides them rather than assuming every Gaia stay follows the same format.
Before booking: The published detox programme includes liquid meals and colonics. Read those details fully, seek independent medical advice before such a programme, and do not treat detox or disease-related claims as established benefits.
Rapture Surfcamp Padang Padang
Pecatu, Uluwatu areaRapture’s Padang Padang camp is a surf-focused option with daily yoga, communal facilities and a social camp rhythm. The current inclusions list breakfast daily and dinner Monday to Friday. Its surf lessons are charged separately, making it important to distinguish the accommodation offer from a package with coaching and equipment.
Before booking: Confirm the ability-appropriate surf arrangement, equipment, transfers and insurance. Do not assume every meal or lesson is included, or that a surf camp provides the same yoga depth as a dedicated retreat.
The Shala Bali
Kedewatan, UbudThe Shala’s current menu includes Healthy Holiday, Spa Pamper, Yoga For You and Yoga & Pilates programmes, alongside Ayurvedic offerings. Daily morning yoga is part of the advertised packages, with afternoon sessions or treatments varying by choice. Vegetarian meals and different accommodation categories help define the complete stay.
Before booking: Check which treatments, private sessions, transfers and meals belong to your package. Ayurvedic or therapeutic language does not establish medical effectiveness; discuss relevant health needs independently.
Fivelements Retreat Bali
Mambal, beside the Ayung RiverFivelements combines riverside accommodation, plant-based dining, yoga and spa experiences. Its current Discover offer is a flexible stay with a two-night minimum, daily group morning yoga, breakfast and resort credit. Separately priced signature wellness programmes have their own inclusions and can require accommodation to be booked in addition.
Before booking: Compare a stay offer with a signature programme carefully. Ask for the full accommodation-plus-programme total and the actual food, treatment and cancellation arrangements.
Which part of Bali fits your stay?
Ubud and its surrounding villages feature heavily in this guide, from yoga schools and personal retreat packages to teacher-led venues. Check the full address: a venue described as Ubud can have a different journey and atmosphere from accommodation in the centre.
Cemagi, Seseh and Canggu include yoga-and-spa stays, flexible practice bases and surf packages. A Canggu label does not automatically mean beachfront accommodation. Tabanan offers Balitrees’ village programme and Suenyo’s private pavilion stays; Padang Padang and Pecatu put surfing at the heart of Rapture’s offer.
Ask the organiser about current surroundings, access and transfer arrangements. Avoid building a tight itinerary around an assumed airport journey time.
Group retreat, yoga stay or venue hire?
Hosted weeks such as The Reason provide a shared schedule and a defined set of activities. Flexible yoga stays such as Lumeria or Ubuntu allow more independence, but the class timetable and meal arrangements need checking. Private stays at properties such as Suenyo can involve booking yoga separately.
Surf camps place a different demand on the day and on your activity budget. Retreat venues and planning services such as Floating Leaf and Bali Wellness Retreat & Yoga Travel are also useful to teachers, but venue hire is not the same purchase as a guest place on a published retreat.
Teacher training is a separate commitment again. If you want a holiday with practice and free time, do not choose a course solely because its room-and-meal price looks attractive.
What do Bali yoga retreats cost?
Compare the full cost for your actual room and dates. Headline figures in US dollars, euros and rupiah can describe different lengths, occupancy and tax arrangements, so a mixed price range can mislead.
- Blooming Lotus: its four-day, three-night retreat is advertised from US$350 per person, with accommodation and two meals daily; the stated tax/service fee, lunch and airport transfer are extra.
- Pelan Pelan: the seven-night Yoga & Wellness package is advertised from €779 per person in shared accommodation, with breakfast and weekday lunches.
- Surf & Yoga Canggu: the current seven-night Yogi package lists a quadruple-room option at IDR 10,300,000 per person, with breakfast, dinner and yoga; different rooms and surf packages have different prices.
These are published examples checked in October 2026, not quotes or availability guarantees. Ask for the final payable amount, taxes, service charges, deposit, cancellation conditions and any single supplement. Fivelements’ signature programme terms explicitly distinguish programme charges from accommodation; confirm the combined total.
When should you go?
Indonesia’s official tourism guidance describes Bali’s broadly drier period as April to October and wetter period as November to March, while noting that seasons are becoming less predictable. Treat those as planning patterns rather than a weather promise.
For outdoor practice and excursions, ask about rain alternatives and a covered shala. For surf-focused trips, choose by your ability, coaching and the conditions the organiser plans around. The teacher, dates and room you want may matter more than choosing one supposedly perfect month.
Read wellness claims with care.
Some providers offer ordinary yoga holidays and meals alongside separate fasting, detox, colonic or other specialist programmes. Those formats should be understood before paying; a wellness label does not establish a medical benefit.
The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health explains that research does not provide compelling support for detox diets removing toxins and that some cleansing practices can cause harm. Seek independent healthcare advice before fasting or undergoing colon-cleansing procedures, particularly if you have an existing condition. Do not use a retreat as a reason to delay necessary healthcare.
If you want yoga, food and rest, ask explicitly for a programme with ordinary meals and without treatments you do not want. Cultural ceremonies can be meaningful travel experiences without being described as medical treatment.
Before you book.
- Confirm the exact venue, room, bathroom arrangement and retreat dates.
- Ask for the live timetable, teacher names, teaching language and experience requirements.
- Check how many meals are included, including weekends and arrival/departure days.
- Separate accommodation, tuition, surf coaching, treatments, transfers and excursions in the quote.
- Discuss practical access, mobility or dietary needs before paying.
- Read deposits, cancellation terms and appropriate travel-insurance requirements.
- Check current official entry and travel guidance for your nationality before arranging flights.

Useful questions
Before you choose.
Which Bali yoga retreat is suitable for beginners?
Blooming Lotus explicitly welcomes beginner and intermediate practitioners, and several other providers offer adaptable classes. Check the named teacher and actual programme. A Mysore residency, teacher-training course or surf package has separate participation expectations.
Can I arrive on any day?
Some individual-stay providers offer flexible dates, while hosted group retreats run on published departures. Confirm your preferred start date before booking flights; flexibility does not guarantee an available room or the same timetable every day.
Are all the retreats full board?
No. Blooming Lotus describes two daily meals; Pelan Pelan includes breakfast and weekday lunches; other packages offer different arrangements. Ask for an exact meal list rather than relying on the phrase all-inclusive.
Are there women-only choices?
Goddess Retreats and The Palm Tree House advertise women-only programmes. Confirm the room, selected package and current guest format directly. A shared room may have different booking conditions from a solo room.
Can I book yoga without an organised group?
Yes. Some providers offer yoga-inclusive accommodation or private sessions alongside a room stay. Check class access, the live timetable and whether food or treatments are extra. Those bookings can feel different from joining a hosted residential week.
Does a detox programme improve health?
A programme’s marketing is not proof of medical effectiveness. Detox diets and cleansing practices have evidence limitations and potential risks. Read the independent NCCIH information linked above and discuss relevant health decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.

Make time for what matters
Choose the rhythm, then the room.
Give the daily programme as much attention as the view. A clear timetable, an honest total price and the right amount of free time are a good foundation for time away.
