Goddess Retreats has launched Reset Goddess, a Bali wellness retreat for women that strips out the timetable and leaves guests to decide how each day unfolds. The seven-day, six-night programme runs at the operator’s Seminyak sanctuary and is priced as the most accessible package in its collection, with rates starting from USD$2,099 per person.
For UK readers who spend much of the year in airports and meeting rooms, the proposition is unusually specific: nothing to organise once the booking is made. Goddess Retreats, which welcomed its first guests in 2003 and is one of the world’s original women-only wellness retreats, has built the new programme around open days, daily spa care and no fixed itinerary. A guest can take a sunrise yoga class, spend the afternoon by the pool, walk the coast, or do none of it.
The company says the launch responds to a broader shift in women’s wellness travel, towards softer, more restorative retreats and towards solo travel rooted in community rather than isolation. That chimes with the luxury solo travel surge led by women reshaping part of the premium market. Since 2003 the operator has run its programmes on the same rhythm of community and autonomy, with guests sharing daily meals, yoga and ceremonies while keeping afternoons and evenings their own.
What the Bali wellness retreat for women includes
The all-inclusive rate covers luxury boutique accommodation in shared, solo or private pool villa options, daily spa treatments spanning massage, facials and traditional Indonesian hair spa therapies, and daily yoga, meditation and pranayama breathwork. Contrast therapy is available every day through Swedish saunas, infrared saunas and ice baths.
Catering runs to 16 whole-food, chef-prepared meals prioritising organic ingredients, with accommodations for plant-based, gluten-free and elimination diets. Cultural elements include an intention-setting fire ceremony, a cacao ceremony, a flower mandala ritual and a traditional Balinese offering-making workshop, alongside a chauffeured shopping tour of Seminyak and Petitenget. Round-trip chauffeured airport transfers are included as standard.
How much does the Bali retreat cost
Rates start from USD$2,099 per person for the seven-day, six-night stay, and the company describes it as the most accessible package in its range. Prices are quoted in US dollars rather than sterling, and flights are not part of the package. Full details are on the Reset Goddess booking page. Anyone adding the trip to an Asia itinerary should also check the current entry requirements for Indonesia on GOV.UK before travelling.
Why a women-only retreat appeals after heavy work trips
The company argues that the effort of arranging a break is what stops many women taking one. “For many women, planning a wellness break is its own kind of work,” said Goddess Retreats founder Chelsea Ross. “Between professional demands and daily caregiving, another set of decisions, another itinerary to build, can be enough to put the trip off altogether. Reset Goddess takes all of that off the table, so guests can simply arrive and be looked after, at a price point that makes it easier to come back to Bali more often.”
That reasoning will be familiar to employees who finish a run of long-haul work trips with annual leave they never quite book. With meals, movement, transfers and treatments already arranged, the planning load that usually falls on the traveller is removed, which is the same logic driving Ayurvedic retreats aimed at executive wellbeing elsewhere in the market.
“Reset Goddess Retreat is for the women after an effortless wellness getaway, or who already know and love Bali, and simply want to come back to something familiar and easy,” Ross said. “There’s no structured itinerary to follow and nothing you have to do. It’s a week to rest, be looked after, and listen to what your body needs.”
Reset Goddess joins a curated collection of women-only programmes covering Wellness, Healing, Longevity and Creative, as well as active formats including Surf, Pilates, Fitness and Padel. For companies whose staff routinely stack leave onto trips east, a Bali wellness retreat for women priced at the entry point of that range is an easier proposition to repeat than a one-off, high-ticket escape.
