At Bliss Sanctuary for Women, our women-only wellness retreat in Bali, every stay is lovingly wrapped in Bliss Unlimited, with:
- Bliss Unlimited Massages
- Bliss Unlimited Spa Treatments
- Bliss Unlimited Delicious Food
- Bliss Unlimited Yoga
- Bliss Unlimited Sightseeing (with our amazing personal drivers)
When Zoë founded Bliss in 2011, she thoughtfully created each package and experience in the hope that you'd love them, and today our whole team beautifully brings them together, so your days in Bali can be blissfully unlimited and you can follow your bliss, your way.
Bliss was created as a Bali wellness retreat for women travelling on their own, and also warmly welcomes women coming with a sister, a dear friend, their mum or their daughter. Unlike traditional group wellness retreats with fixed daily programmes, Bliss gives you the freedom to choose how you'd like to spend each day, doing as much or as little as you wish, with your plans thoughtfully arranged around your interests, the time you have and what's possible each day.
How does Bliss Unlimited work?
Bliss Unlimited is generous by design, and it flows most beautifully with a little gentle planning.
Each day, your hostess will check in with you to chat about what you'd love to do, whether that's a long massage (or two!), a morning of yoga or a day out exploring with your driver. She'll then carefully arrange it around the availability of our therapists, drivers and team, always checking back with you so you know how your day is shaping up.
If your mood changes along the way, that's completely fine. Just let her know, and she'll do her very best to work things out with you.
What's included in Bliss Unlimited?
Bliss Unlimited Massages
Choose from our beautiful massages, including our Blissful Balinese Massage, Heavenly Hot Stone Massage, Gorgeous Thai Massage, Ridiculously Good Foot Reflexology, warm Herbal Ball Massage and soothing, sweet-scented aromatherapy, enjoyed in the garden, by the pool or, where possible, in your room. Your therapist will ask how you'd like your massage before you settle in.
Bliss Unlimited Spa Treatments
For a little extra pampering, there's The Beauty-ful Facial, a Silky Smooth Body Scrub, a nourishing Rejuvenating Cream Bath and pretty Balinese manicures and pedicures, with fresh Balinese flowers on request. Your hostess will happily arrange your treatments around our therapists' availability, and you'll find the full menu on our spa treatments page.
Bliss Unlimited Delicious Food
From yummy, warm banana pancakes with sweet tropical fruit to fragrant, homestyle Balinese curries, fresh, colourful salads and creamy, freshly blended smoothies, our kitchen team prepares a delicious mix of Balinese and Western dishes, and will do their very best to cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs. Zoë has always believed love is the most important ingredient of all, and we hope you'll taste it in every bite.
Bliss Unlimited Yoga
Whether you're new to yoga or already love your time on the mat, you're welcome to enjoy as much or as little as suits you. Your hostess will happily help arrange a mix of sessions at the sanctuary and classes at a nearby specialist yoga centre, around our instructors' availability and class times, with open-air shalas, a lovely mix of styles for every level and beginners always warmly welcomed.
Bliss Unlimited Sightseeing
From any of our sanctuaries, our amazing personal drivers, who are accredited tour guides, can take you to the sights you'd love to see, sharing local stories along the way and staying close by so you feel looked after. From Canggu, the beautiful sea temple of Tanah Lot is around 30 minutes away and simply glorious at sunset, while Ubud, with its lush, emerald rice terraces, ancient temples and tumbling waterfalls, is around 60 to 90 minutes from both Canggu and Seminyak, depending on traffic.
If you'd love to add a little adventure, such as a quad bike tour or a volcano trek, these are run by third-party providers and sit outside Bliss Unlimited, but your hostess can happily help you arrange them at an additional cost.
Is Bliss a retreat or a sanctuary, and where are the sanctuaries located?
Bliss Sanctuary for Women is a women-only wellness retreat in Bali with a beautiful difference. Where most wellness retreats follow a set group programme, our three gorgeous sanctuaries feel like a beautiful home in Bali, where your days are gently shaped around you.
Canggu Sanctuary is a lush tropical escape, a lovely choice if you're drawn to Canggu's vibrant café scene, surf beaches and coastal sunsets.
Seminyak Sanctuary is wrapped in tropical gardens, close to Seminyak's wonderful shopping, restaurants and golden sunsets.
Villa Peace, our smaller sanctuary in Seminyak, offers a more intimate stay, with fewer women at a time and a little extra privacy.
Each sanctuary has been lovingly created by Zoë as a celebration of authentic cultural luxury. Rather than following the latest villa trends, she has kept our gardens and spaces lush and true to Bali, because nature is such a special part of the Bliss experience.
Our sleep sanctuaries bring together a little whimsy and a lot of comfort, with cool, air-conditioned rooms and gorgeous bathrooms that bring the outdoors in, each with its own deep bath for some precious time to yourself. Shops, cafés and the beach are close by, often within an easy stroll, or your driver can take you, and our caring team of hostesses, spa therapists, kitchen staff and drivers are there to help you enjoy your stay your own way.
Is anything not included?
Medi-spa treatments, such as microdermabrasion, LED light therapy and specialist facials, and third-party tours, such as quad biking or a volcano trek, sit outside Bliss Unlimited. These can be arranged through our recommended providers at an additional cost, subject to availability, and your hostess will always explain any charges before anything is booked.
Has Bliss Sanctuary for Women won awards?
YES! We are so thankful to have won 100+ GLOBAL AWARDS!
We find it unbelievable that we are the most awarded and most 5 star Tripadvisor reviews of any Bali Wellness Women’s Retreats since 2011! And we are the smallest locations meaning less people have walked through our doors and yet more of our guests voted!
Zoë and our whole team are so grateful that Bliss has been recognised over the years, most recently across all three sanctuaries in the 2026 World Luxury Hotel Awards, including for our unlimited spa experiences. Zoë is always the first to say that every award belongs to our beautiful team and to the women who have experienced Bliss Unlimited at one of our sanctuaries and so kindly shared their stories, many of which you'll find as ‘Blisstimonials’ on our Instagram and TikTok. You can read more about our awards on our media and awards page.
