The Bali Spirit Festival 2027 takes place in Ubud from April 22 to 25 — just before the Bali Fire Dance Retreat. Yoga, dance, live music, workshops and the Dharma Fair: here is everything you need to know.
Yes! No matter your skill level, you can join all our retreats. Here is what to practise before you come — poi, hoop, contact staff and staff spinning — with our favourite free video tutorials.
Which visa do you need for Bali? Most visitors now need an e-VOA (IDR 500,000, 30 days), only 19 nationalities are visa-free, and everyone pays the Bali tourist levy. A clear guide with every official Indonesian government website so you can check it yourself.
Everything you need to get from Bali’s airport to the Bali Fire Dance Retreat, a beautiful, private location between the rice fields and the jungle, 1.5 hours by taxi from Denpasar (I Gusti Ngurah Rai) airport. Shared taxis, ride sharing, what to do if you arrive early or late — and the exact address after registration.
Uber doesn’t work in Bali — here’s how to get around instead: Grab and Gojek, taxis from the airport, leaving the resort, the trip-day bus and renting a scooter after the retreat.
The complete packing list for the Bali Fire Dance Retreat — which props to bring and which you can rent, fire-safe natural-fibre clothing, what Bali’s climate really asks of your bag, plus plugs, money, health and a full tick-box checklist.
