If you want to visit beaches or enjoy pleasant weather throughout your retreat, Bali’s dry season (April to October) is the best time to visit. Please note that this is the island’s peak tourist season, so expect higher prices.

If you’re looking for more affordable prices and the weather is not an issue, the wet season (November to March) will enable you to save with off-season rates.

What type of accommodation options are available in Bali?

No matter your budget or preference, in Bali, there’s a vast selection of options to choose from. Here, you’ll find luxurious beachfront hotels and resorts, hillside villas or suites, quaint homestays, and guest houses.

What type of food & beverages are usually served at a yoga retreat in Bali?

Vegetarian and vegan meals are usually served during a yoga retreat in Bali. More often than not, you’ll also get a taste of Balinese cuisine that’ll enable you to immerse in local culture through your taste buds.

If you have other dietary requirements, most organizers would be able to cater to them if you request in advance/ upon reservation.

What activities or excursions are included in most yoga retreat packages in Bali?

When you’re off the mat, you can enjoy various nature trips while in Bali. You can explore its famous rice paddies, dip into its rejuvenating waterfalls, try out surfing, or go on a hike on the island’s majestic volcanoes.

Are there any opportunities for cultural immersion or interaction with locals during the retreat?

Want to delve into Bali’s unique culture? You can tour temples and villages that showcase Balinese architecture, join cooking classes, and learn how to make scrumptious Indonesian/Balinese dishes or participate in workshops that teach you how to make locally crafted goods.

Are there any cultural or religious holidays/events related to yoga in Bali?

The Bali Spirit Festival is a yoga and wellness-focused festival held annually in Ubud. You can join sessions led by world-renowned yoga instructors and spiritual gurus. It’s a family-friendly event that offers programs for all ages and across all yoga skill levels. This event is usually held in April or May.

There’s also Nyepi Day or “Day of Silence.” It’s a New Year’s Day occasion for the Balinese Hindus. However, unlike typical New Year’s Day celebrations, this holiday is 24 hours of silence, fasting, and meditation.

Please note that on this day, no activities are allowed. This includes any activities done outdoors and streets are expected to be empty. Airports as well as other transportation hubs and shops are closed. It’s a sacred time for the Balinese to self-reflect, connect with the divine, and go through spiritual cleansing. This holiday is observed during a new moon in March.

Are transportation to and from the airport usually included?

Some yoga retreats in Bali already include airport transfers in their pricing while some come as separate fees. It all depends on the retreat package that you choose.

What are some must-visit attractions or landmarks in Bali?

To name a few, the Saraswati Temple in Ubud is a site to behold. Its stone carvings, tranquil lotus ponds, and traditional Balinese architecture give you a glimpse of what beauty Bali has to offer.

The Tegallalang Rice Terraces is also a splendor to the eyes. It gives you the most stunning views of the sunrise and the sunset. You can walk or bike to further immerse yourself in how majestic it is. And aside from that, luwak coffee farms are also near the area. There, you can learn the process of making the famous local coffee and take a sip while setting sights on the beautiful Balinese countryside.

If you want to take a more adventurous route, a sunrise hike at Mount Batur is also one for the books. Reach its summit and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and be in awe of its volcanic crater lake.

What are some off-the-beaten-path activities or hidden gems in Bali?

Looking to explore less touristy destinations? You can head to the mountain village of Munduk. With its lesser-known rice terraces and refreshing waterfalls, it’s surely an escape from the crowded places.

If you want to be near the coast, a visit to Nusa Penida is also great for a day trip. Enjoy the clear waters and white sandy beaches, you can even go snorkeling and diving on this exotic island.

What is the local language spoken, and how widely is English understood?

In Bali, Balinese and Bahasa-Indonesia are the local languages. English is widely used and spoken in tourist-rich areas, and in areas where it’s not, no need to worry because most locals have a basic knowledge of English.

What are some local dishes or foods I must try while visiting?

There are plenty of mouthwatering local dishes you should try but here are some of our top picks:

Nasi Campur or mixed rice allows you to taste a variety of Balinese cuisine with its included side dishes. You can also try Lawar, a salad that combines meat or vegetables with grated coconut and a delectable spice mix.

If you prefer meat-based dishes, Bebek Betutu is a dish with marinated duck that’s slow-cooked or roasted to a flavorful perfection. You can also get a chicken version of this dish called Ayam Betutu.

Sate Lilit, is also a must-try. It’s a marinated meat-on-a-stick dish made of minced pork or chicken combined with a spice paste, grated coconut, and other spices.

What are some etiquette tips to follow when interacting with locals?

Tourists are expected to dress in modest clothing in public places. Especially when you’re visiting a temple or other religious sites, your clothes must cover your shoulders and knees. A sarong is a great option and these are often included in the ticket price when you visit a temple. You may also wear a long skirt or pants with blouses or shirts.

For gestures, for example, pointing to someone to get their attention is considered rude, instead, you may use a friendly wave to beckon someone.

Overall, being open-minded and respectful will make your experience more enjoyable.

What is the tipping culture like in Bali?

Tipping is not mandatory in Bali, but some restaurants and accommodations may include a service charge in your bill. Aside from this, paying a little extra when receiving good service is always appreciated.

What other insights or tips should I know about when traveling in Bali?

You can pay with major credit cards in most tourist areas and large businesses (Visa and Mastercard are the most accepted).

There are also plenty of ATMs and currency exchange shops throughout the island, however, we recommend always having some cash on hand (Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)), especially when making small purchases.
