Over the last few years, wellness travel has grown in popularity and is now one of the fastest-growing travel areas. People are increasingly choosing better lifestyles, which includes more mindful and health-focused holidays. One of the most popular destination for wellness vacation and healing trip is Bali, Island of Gods, home of holistic wellbeing derived from their thick culture and closeness to nature. And if we’re talking about healing trip in Bali, we want somewhere peaceful, quiet, and away from the hustles and bustles of the city. Somewhere like Ubud, Kintamani, or Nusa Dua in the south if you don’t want to travel all the way up to the north. What’s better than spending few days by yourself in a secluded Nusa Dua resorts, surrounded by white beach and wonderful ocean vista?
Navigating Your First Wellness Trip in Bali Resorts
Perhaps you’re going on your first retreat iand have no idea what to expect or how to prepare. Maybe you’ve already gone on a retreat vacation and didn’t get the most out of it or wished you had planned it a little better in advance. Don’t worry. We got it covered.
Decide Your Location
Not every location is made equal. A excellent retreat is mostly determined by its location. When choosing a destination to visit, you must be completely honest with yourself. If you’re a city slicker who despises the outdoors, you’re unlikely to enjoy a mountain getaway that includes a lot of trekking. The northern region of Bali like Ubud, Kintamani, or Batur Mountain are perfect for that.
If you don’t want to stay far from the city but still want a peaceful getaway, consider the Nusa Dua. This region is known as the resort enclave of Bali. Not surprising as it’s lined with white soft sands beaches, calm water, and wonderful view of the ocean. Avoid backpacker and tourist-packed areas like Kuta, Canggu, or Seminyak unless you want to spend your day with shopping and cafe-hopping.

Look for Nusa Dua Hotel or Resorts with Spa
A hotel with spa in the secluded Nusa Dua is exactly what it sounds like: a hotel with a spa on-site for guests to use. Treatments are usually charged individually because the spa operates as a separate part, but still within the resort. You are under no compulsion to choose a treatment or two, but they are available if you want to go above and beyond to relax completely.
From beach resorts to major cities, you can find a hotel with a spa practically anywhere. There are also a variety of hotels with spas to suit all budgets. If you’re thinking of staying at a hotel with a spa to take advantage of their services, do your homework first because spa standards and treatments differ greatly.
Book Early
It’s best to start organizing your retreat break as soon as possible. You should plan in advance for two reasons: to acquire the greatest travel prices and to prepare your mind and body. When it comes to arranging your retreat lodgings, booking early can help you get a room upgrade, the last remaining private room, or a shared room with a friend. For scheduling and paying in full by a specified date, several retreats offer an early bird discount. You should absolutely take advantage of this!
Just Take A Moment to Relax with Yourself in the Resort

Plan Activities to Do in the Resort
Have you always planned to try some surfing in Bali? Or maybe you want to do some pilates during the retreat? Plan your activity. A wellness retreat don’t have to be just seclusion and do nothing (but you can always do it if you want to! No judgement). The Nusa Dua is famous for their water sport and it’s a good idea to incorporate that to your retreat. Try some waterski or parasailing. The combination of fun, adrenaline rush, and new experiences is good to heal your stressed mind!
It’s critical to practice self-care and learn how to take a more active role in our emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Keeping your primary motivations in mind when looking for a retreat will help you have a memorable experience that will remain long after your vacation is finished.
