🌈 WHAT IS THE BALI SPIRIT FESTIVAL?
The Bali Spirit Festival is a yearly celebration of yoga, dance, music and healing in Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart. It brings together teachers, musicians and seekers from all over the world — and it has a really warm, open, community feeling. 💛
Expect hundreds of workshops, morning-to-night music, ecstatic dance, a big market, and lots of beautiful people to meet. If you love the vibe of our retreats, you’ll feel right at home.
🗓️ THE PROGRAM
The 2027 edition starts on Thursday, April 22 with a community day and a free opening party, followed by three full festival days from Friday to Sunday.
Workshops are spread over several stages, from early morning to the evening:
- 🧘 Yoga, meditation and qi gong
- 💃 Dance, martial arts and movement
- 🌬️ Breathwork
- 🔔 Sound healing
- 🥁 Percussion, kirtan and voice
- 📿 Dharma talks and seminars
💡 The full schedule is usually published closer to the festival — keep an eye on balispiritfestival.com.
🎶 MUSIC, STAGES & PARTIES
Music is a big part of the festival. There are several stages around the festival grounds — like the Grove Main Stage, the Tea Temple for sacred sounds and late-night sessions, and the Spirit Pools. 🎵
Think DJ sets, live bands, kirtan, drum circles and after parties. And yes — there’s plenty of space to dance! 💃🕺
🛍️ THE DHARMA FAIR
The Community Dharma Fair is the festival market: stalls with healthy food, local crafts, clothing, jewellery, healing sessions and lots more. It’s a lovely place to hang out between workshops, have a fresh coconut and meet people. 🥥
🎟️ TICKETS
Tickets for 2027 are not on sale yet — the festival says “tickets on sale soon, stay tuned”. Usually there are different passes, from single days to the full festival.
🎟️ We’re trying to get you a discount! We’ll share the details with all retreat attendees as soon as we have them.

🏡 WHERE TO STAY DURING THE FESTIVAL
The festival takes place in Ubud, so staying in or near Ubud is the easiest. Guesthouses, homestays, and hotels fit every budget—from simple family homestays to beautiful villas in the rice fields. 🌾Our resort is a 30-minute drive from the Bali Spirit festival, so we don’t recommend staying there already.
💡 Book early: the festival is popular, and Ubud fills up quickly in festival week.
🛵 Getting around: Uber doesn’t work in Bali — install Grab and Gojek before you fly. 👉 Getting around in Bali
🔗 COMBINING IT WITH THE RETREAT
The timing is perfect:
- 🎉 April 22–25: Bali Spirit Festival in Ubud
- 😌 April 25–27: two days to rest, explore Ubud or visit a waterfall. You’re welcome to move to our resort early!
- 🔥 April 27: the Bali Fire Dance Retreat starts!
The retreat takes place at a private resort about 15 km outside Ubud, so the ride from the festival to the retreat is short.
