Aaah Bali, the magical island of the Gods. From lush vegetation to beautiful white sandy beaches, the Indonesian oasis offers an ethereal environment for yoga and wellness. It’s no coincidence that over 15 million tourists travel from all over the world each year, magnetically drawn to the healing calm of Bali.
To cater to this new trend that most likely grew alongside Eat Pray Love’s popularity, Bali offers a myriad of fitness and yoga opportunities ranging from spiritual retreats to fitness boot camps. The good news is, whatever you are looking for, chances are you will find it there.
Maybe you want to escape the mundane or start the year with a new perspective. Perhaps you want to free your mind and body. Or you might simply want to slow down and unwind in paradise (we don’t blame you for it).
Regardless of your intention, attending a fitness or yoga retreat in Bali is the perfect way to unplug, reset and start anew in 2024.
In this article, I’ll showcase the top 20 Bali yoga and fitness retreats this year, from health and fitness to yoga, meditation retreats, surf camps, and outdoor adventures.
