Top 20 Questions Asked about Goddess Retreats

We have collected the 20 most asked questions y our Goddess guests have before they arrive to Bali for their retreat.

In case you cannot find an answer to your question here, please contact us via the contact form and we will be more than happy to answer all of your inquiries.

  1. I am arriving a few days before my Bali Retreat starts, how do I get to you?

We provide courtesy retreat transfers from the Novotel Airport Hotel and hotels in the area of Seminyak and Canggu.  If you would like to come to the retreat on your own we will provide a map and detailed directions to the retreat. If you are in an area outside Seminyak, we can still arrange transfers though there may be an additional cost.

If you are arriving the day before the retreat begins you will need to book pre-retreat accommodation. Your airport transfer is best arranged with the hotel (majority of hotels provide this service) – that being said if you need assistance with booking this transfer please let us know and we are happy to  arrange this for you.

  1. Do you offer weekend stays? Can I do a packages for just a 2-3 night Bali retreat? 

Due to the small nature and popularity of our retreats currently we only offer set retreat packages for 7 days/6 nights. Our Bali retreat packages are designed to be enjoyed as a whole with each day being a carefully planned balance between your chosen organised activities and free time. Having each retreat run for 7 days allows time to interact with the other goddesses who are on the retreat with you – resulting in close bonds with those who have shared the experience.

  1. I was wondering if there were certain dates that Goddess Retreat keeps, or can you arrive on any date? 

Our retreats run for 7 days/6 nights and the dates are fixed. To view our retreat dates we invite you to the Dates and Rates pages in each Retreat.
This is so each group can come together and take the retreat journey as a whole. Click here to compare retreats, and you can go to the dates and rates page of each retreat to see when each retreat is on.

  1. When do you pick up from the airport? How do I know it’s you?

Check in starts at 12 noon on the day of the retreat and we provide airport / hotel transfers from 11 am. Our drivers will be waiting for you outside the International Arrival Terminal at the end of the Duty Free Shop.
Once your booking has been confirmed and we have received your flight details you will receive a complete arrival information package with further details.

  1. I was wondering about check in times, the flight arrives at 11:45pm. Do you still arrange airport pick-ups at that time and can I still check in if it’s late at night?

If you are arriving late at night (or after 12 noon) we will still arrange your airport pick up. Alternatively, if your travel dates are flexible we recommend arriving the night before and stay at any of the hotels in the area of Seminyak. We will arrange your retreat transfer on the next day around noon. This way you don’t miss out on the activities on the first day.

  1. How does the booking process work?! Are we able to put down a deposit and then pay it off or do we have to pay the full amount when we book?

Normally full payment is required to secure your place on the retreat within 5 days upon reserving your place. Under certain circumstances we accept $1000 deposit, with the final due within 90 days prior to the retreat. Contact us with your questions and we would be happy to come to an arrangement.

  1. Are flight tickets separate to this price?

Airfares are not included in the retreat price.

Yes! We specialize in creating a safe place where women can travel solo without being alone.

  1. There are two of us, one doing a surf retreat, the other doing a fitness retreat, will we see each other?

Yes – you’ll have plenty of time to do things together! The only times you will be separated are when one is doing a fitness session and the other one is doing her Bliss Days. You will have majority of the day, mealtimes, free time and yoga together.

  1. How does the itinerary work?

This depends on the retreat that you choose: Surf, Bali, Fit, or Yoga. Contact us to ask for an itinerary of the retreat you are interested in and you will receive one. In short each day is a wonderful balance between free time and activities. You can customise your retreat to make it as busy, or as relaxed as you need and want.

  1. What does a typical day look like? 

We start our day with a gentle yoga session followed by a delicious breakfast. Then each guest goes on the activities of their choice that have been arranged for them, i.e.: Bike Tour through Balinese Villages, White Water Rafting, Silver Jewelry Making, Surf Lesson, SUP, SUP Yoga, Snorkeling Adventure and many more fantastic options. Depending on  your activity you may have lunch away or at the retreat. In your free time you are welcome to enjoy pampering spa treatments, relax by the pool, connect with your fellow Goddesses sharing inspirational stories, or explore the boutique shops in the neighbourhood. In the afternoon another yoga session is scheduled for Bali Goddess guests, while Surf and Fit Goddesses can choose to join either the morning or afternoon yoga session. After that dinner is served, then its free time, you can enjoy an evening spa treatment, a late night dip in the pool or curling up with a good book.

  1. I’m staying in Bali after the retreat, are you able to help me arrange activities, hotels and transfers?

Yes! We have a list of recommended boutique accommodations and activities for your extra stay in Bali and can help arrange activities and transfers with our reputable vendors. This service is free-of-charge.

  1. How many guests can you have on the retreat?

We can have anywhere between 4 – 16 guests. We keep our retreat small as this allows us to facilitate a magical group experience; and at the same time it also allows us to uncover those special hidden gems each guest needs to make their individual experience blissful.

  1. What is the average age of the retreat guests?

Most of our guests range between 30 and 50. However, with 20 years of experience we know that  our retreat attracts like-minded women that no matter what age group, background, or body type you belong to, you’ll find yourself among other Goddesses who are positive, interesting, supportive and fun.
