The Ultimate Body & Soul Reset: 7 Best Fitness Retreats in Bali, Indonesia 

Hey, wanderlust crew! Your Funky Fresh Traveler here, reporting live from the Island of Gods. You know the drill—I’m always on the hunt for those experiences that don’t just fill your passport but fill up your soul, too. I’ve been living and breathing the Bali life for a while now, and let me tell you, this place isn’t just about smoothie bowls and stunning sunsets. It’s a full-on hub for self-improvement and transformation. I’ve explored the jungles, surfed the waves, and yes, I’ve found some of the most epic fitness retreats on the planet. 

I am a Yoga teacher and live in Canggu, and I go to the gym everyday. I have been everywhere in Bali, so my articles below will give  you the best view. 

1-) You have two options if you are a fitness freak: Canggu and Uluwatu. These are the best places in Bali. I personally prefer Canggu. The offering is INSANE and it is the place in the world with the most gyms per square meter ( Yes !!! )  

2-) WANT TO SAVE MONEY? Rather than a fitness retreat where you are with the same group for a number of days, opt to rent a room or hotel and subscribe to a local gym. You can even do surfing in the morning, then Yoga for recovery, then MMA fighting or boxing or BJJ, and then in the afternoon cardio or HIIT training or HYROX. 

3-) If you want a ” Real ” fitness retreat, check my offer below. 

4-) I personally recommend Wanderlust fitness village in Canggu (there is Bali MMA next door to). There is a daily bootcamp and big group activities. 

Sport Retreat in Bali

Forget everything you think you know about a typical vacation. We’re talking about active escapes that combine serious sweat sessions with deep-tissue massages, waterfall hikes with wholesome, organic food, and vibrant community vibes with serene moments of meditation. This isn’t just a holiday; it’s a wellness revolution. 

Bali has become a global mecca for those seeking a total mind-body overhaul. The energy here is undeniable, and the variety of fitness retreats is mind-blowing. Whether you’re a seasoned CrossFitter, a yogi looking for a deeper practice, or a beginner just hoping to kickstart a healthier lifestyle, there’s a retreat here for you. After pounding the pavement (and the yoga mats!) across this magnificent island, I’ve narrowed it down to my absolute top seven. So, let’s dive in and find your perfect Bali fitness retreat! 

A best fitness retreat in Bali offers a holistic approach to health, combining intensive training sessions with deep relaxation. Activities cater to every fitness level, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all fitness enthusiasts. 

A typical wellness journey includes various movement classes, such as daily hatha yoga and dynamic CrossFit Wanderlust style bootcamps, focusing on specific fitness goals. Many luxury programs, like those at COMO Shambhala Estate, are situated in Ubud’s lush natural surroundings and feature sessions overlooking rice fields or the Ayung River Valley. 

The retreats are a perfect way to embrace an active lifestyle and feature healthy eating with plant-based meals and fresh food. Beyond physical activity, a health retreat also emphasizes mental health and inner peace through guided meditation retreats and deep relaxation at a spa retreat offering a traditional Balinese massage. Outdoor activities, such as a challenging sunrise hike up Mount Batur, provide a unique experience and a great way to connect with the local culture and achieve personal growth.
