Yoga, Culture & Balinese New Year

Join Laura on a trip of a lifetime to explore the rich culture and beauty of Bali. This epic retreat will be the perfect combination of luxury, learning, adventure and relaxation. During this week you will practice in and explore one of the most gorgeous and spiritually potent settings in the world. You’ll enjoy the luxury of a stunning 5-star hotel owned by Ubud’s royal family, where each individual villa (with private pool!) is your sanctuary for the week. You will also be surrounded by the island's natural beauty and lush gardens as you participate in workshop-style yoga classes in the morning and all-levels vinyasa classes in the evening. 

 

This is truly one of the most incredible weeks of the year to be in Bali as they prepare for the Balinese New Year, called Nyepi or "The Day of Silence." For the Balinese, it's a time for self-reflection and cleansing as they observe 24 hours of total silence, preceded by firecrackers, singing, laughter, parades and general excitement everywhere. It’s an unforgettable experience to witness the whole island shutting down (no electricity, no driving on the roads, no one working) and to be a part of this powerful ancient tradition. We, as guests, will also take part in the authentic Nyepi rituals and celebrations, which happen just once a year. It's truly an experience that will invite you to go inward and 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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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 are the accommodations like?

Enjoy one of the most gorgeous 5-star award-winning hotels in Bali, designed personally by one of the princes of Ubud, every component was designed as part of a spiritual and sacred journey. Built on the jungle cliffs with more than 97 private villas, each having their own infinity pool, the property looks out on majestic green mountains that will take your breath away. Practice yoga in a gorgeous open-air shala and then cool off in the sacred natural springs or swim in its unbelievable half-mile meandering pool that is built along the edges of the sacred Ayung River.
