Details
Day 1
Selamat Datang — Welcome to Bali! Arrive in paradise and prepare yourself for a week of luxury
After flying into Denpasar airport, we'll pick you up and carry you to your spiritual home for the week. Say goodbye to the bustling city as we head into the idyllic countryside. Situated in the serene Western Bali, Kelapa is the ideal retreat for all of your meditative and cultural needs. Check-in and then check out from the outside world in this remote and authentic slice of Balinese paradise. Try some local fare at lunch and unwind before your first big meeting with your fellow yogi at a session prior to dinner. If a warm welcome from the staff, your TourHero, and the new friends for the week isn't enough, we'll light a beach bonfire for extra heat. Fingers crossed for a famous Bali sunset — the perfect way to close your first night and get you hyped for the week ahead.
Day 2
Enjoy a session of yoga and journaling; go coco-nuts for today's workshop
Good morning! Your first full day in Bali has arrived, and what better way to start it than with some yoga and an introspective journaling session? Shaiday will lead your morning mindfulness session before an Indonesian breakfast sets you up for the day, and for a special workshop. Learn what amazing things can be made using the vast supply of coconuts found in Bali, including virgin coconut oil, coconut sugar, or even traditional masks. You'll have the chance to make your own coconut product before lunchtime. You've then got the rest of the afternoon free to chill out by the pool, practice yoga, or plan an excursion to see more of the local area. Private reiki sessions will also be available for booking. Then, come back together with your group for your evening yoga and meditation session, followed by dinner. Selamat Malam - goodnight!
Day 3
Spend the day on a spiritual journey, or plan a trip of your own
Today's the day for exploration, joining an excursion, or being treated to a traditional Balinese massage! With lots of free time available between your morning and evening practice sessions, this is the perfect opportunity to take a tour to a nearby spiritual site, trek, or local village. The morning also brings the opportunity for a dance/movement workshop! As for those interested in exploring, we recommend checking out nearby temples, such as Pura Rambut Siwi — a Hindu place of worship with incredible clifftop views and reposeful gardens. A standout place to get closer to spirituality, there's nothing more inspiring than being in the presence of classical Indonesian architecture, solitude, peaceful views, and good vibes. Reconvene later with your group to reflect on your day with yoga and meditation, then enjoy a buffet banquet of excellent local and international fare before calling it a night.
Day 4
Cook up a storm like a local and discover some phenomenal sites
Today's special activity introduces you to Balinese cooking, with you taking the lead. Fire up some authentic local fare with help from a traditional chef and reintroduce yourself to the coconuts, as they come in particularly handy during the cooking process. Sandwiched between your daily morning and evening sessions, this is a great opportunity to get hands-on with the island's culture and customs and make something delicious! Afterward, you're free to do more exploring — or maybe just recover from all the food! If you fancy a trip out, the afternoon may give you the chance to see some local phenomenons like the Sacred Bunut Bolong, a tunnel-like tree in the middle of a busy road, or the Gitgit waterfall, a hidden gem among Bali's waterfall treasures. End the night with a yoga/meditation session and dinner — perhaps even tastier now you know the love put into making it!.
Day 5
Your final full day in Bali warrants a celebration — and a celebration you shall have
Get ready for your last full day in paradise. Outside of our wellness sessions, today's the day to check out any local sites that have caught your eye, get the all-important Instagram shots, or try out some more local fare. Maybe you've been putting off the Nasi Kuning all week or you haven't sampled the local arak spirit yet — it's just grapes and aniseed, and makes a mean cocktail ingredient — so now's your chance. Before long, it'll be time for our evening yoga and journaling session, before we enjoy a farewell dinner. As the sun sets on your week and a beach bonfire is lit, we hope that the sun isn't setting on new friendships you've made, and you'll remember this heavenly time for years to come. Time for bed — you've got a plane to catch tomorrow!
Day 6
It’s time to say farewell to Bali — for now!
Your last morning in Kelapa is upon us, and it’s time to say goodbye to your fellow yogi at one final session and a hearty breakfast. Once you’re checked out, we’ll take you back through the heart of Denpasar to the airport to catch your flight home. We hope you’ve had a magical time in Bali — see you soon!
