Balance, Bliss & Balinese New Year

Join Debra and Jean Marie for a trip of a lifetime to celebrate NYEPI, the Balinese New Year, with the chance to explore the island’s magnificent beauty, rich culture and unique spiritual traditions. The New Year and “The Day of Silence” falls on March 28th, when we will participate in authentic Nyepi rituals and celebrations which happen just once a year. You will be nourished by daily yoga practices, the delicious local cuisine and unique curated excursions to some of Bali’s most colorful markets and sacred local temples. We will meet community leaders and observe ancient spiritual practices to develop a better understanding of this intricate culture. From beginning to end, this will be an inspiring, transformational and deeply reflective journey—and an experience that will stay with you forever!

 

The Bali Institute, Ubud’s premiere cultural organization, will guide us on exclusive immersion experiences to some of Bali’s most colorful markets and sacred local temples. We will observe ancient spiritual practices and meet community leaders and dignitaries to develop a better understanding of this unique culture.

FAQ

What airport do I fly into?

You will book your international ticket into and out of Denpasar (airport code: DPS) to Arrive on March 23rd and Depart on March 30th.

 

If you wish to arrive a day early to settle in and get acclimated, we can request additional nights at our group hotel. Please contact us directly for rates. 

Do I need a Visa to visit Bali?

No, if you are planning to stay in Indonesia for under 30 days, the visa on arrival is free and the departure tax is also waived. 

 

If you plan to stay longer then 30 days, you will need to obtain a visa before leaving the US. For more information on this, please visit the Embassy of Indonesia website.

 

IMPORTANT: If your passport expires within six months of your arrival date to Indonesia, please be sure to renew your passport before you go to avoid any issues at immigration. There are no exceptions.

What if I am traveling alone?

We get hundreds of travelers each year who go on retreat alone. If you are traveling without a friend or partner, but prefer to share your room, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If for some reason, we are not able to match you with a roommate, a single supplement will apply. 

 

If you prefer to have your own private room, a single supplement will apply. 

What vaccinations do I need?

There are no required vaccinations for travel to Bali. However, there are some recommended (suggested) vaccinations given by the CDC. To see the complete list of what is recommended please visit the CDC Website and consult with your primary care physician to make a decision on what is best for you. 

Are airport transfers included in the price of my trip?

Yes, private airport transfers are included in the price of your trip. Whenever you arrive, day or night, you will be met by a private driver and transported to the group hotel. Note: if you arrive early and decide to stay at an alternate location other than our group hotel, you will be responsible for coordinating and paying for your own transportation directly with the hotel where you will be staying.
