No. You can choose to pay now for the entire trip or you can select to pay over 3 months. The first payment is due now and the remaining two payments in 30 and 60 days from now. You will see options on the check-out page.

You will need a current passport with at least 6 months remaining until expiration from your departure date. Bali is an island in Indonesia, and Indonesia does require a tourist visa for US citizens. This visa can be obtained online, and we will provide instructions prior to travel. The cost is approximately $50.

Bali's international airport is located in Denpasar (airport code: DPS). We recommend flying out of SFO with a flight arriving into DPS in the afternoon and a flight departing DPS in the afternoon so that we can coordinate airport transfers. Currently flights are around $1,000 round trip with one stopover. Please note there is a 16 hour time difference so you will need to depart one day in advance to arrive in Bali on the correct date. 

We do require travel insurance to ensure everyone is safe and the trip runs smoothly. We will send suggestions after booking. 

Bali has a tropical island climate. Temperatures range between 70's-80's, and it is humid. You'll want to pack light layers in case it gets cooler in the evening but plan for hot days. Sometimes it rains, but usually showers don't last all day.

Bali is a Hindu island and most forms of dress are acceptable for tourists. However, you'll want to make sure you cover your shoulders and legs when visiting temples. You do not need to pack dressy clothes. A casual dress with sandals is appropriate for our special restaurant meals.

You'll want to pack mosquito repellent because there are mosquitos in Bali. Mosquito borne diseases do exist on the island, so pack a strong mosquito repellant and plan to use it. Check with your doctor to make sure you are up to date on any vaccines suggested for travel to Bali. Be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat for our boat trip, and a swimsuit. You'll also want comfortable walking shoes and a pair of flip flops for the beach.

We suggest packing a travel size suitcase to limit any lost luggage and to ensure easy travel throughout Bali. Most hotels offer laundry service (sometimes this can be quite expensive). You can also bring travel size detergent and wash a few items by hand during your trip. We will not have access to washer/dryer machine during our trip. 

Activities are planned in the morning when it is cooler so that you can experience a bit of Bali. Some days we have a local guide, some days it's a spa treatment, and some days we are doing a group activity. These trips are always optional if you don't feel 100% or just want some more down time. However, the cost is included in your trip, and it's a great way to connect with other women and explore the island. We highly recommend you join us for our morning excursions!

We've designed the trip to allow women to relax in the afternoons. Most days we have free time after lunch until dinner. This is also the time your photo sessions will be scheduled. One afternoon in each location you will spend 2+ hours for your shoot. You can also relax by the pool, take a walk to explore local villages, walk along the beach, relax on your veranda or spend time in your room.

The Goddess Retreat is designed to be a small group of women in order to have privacy, relaxation and connection with one another. We need a minimum of 6 people (Niki, Diana and 4 clients) in order to the run the trip. There is a maximum of 10 people (8 clients). In the event that you pay for the trip but we do not have enough clients to run the trip, you will receive a full refund. We will make a decision 90 days prior to travel.

Please note there are two prices for the Retreat: a single occupancy price and a shared room occupancy price. Please note that the shared occupancy is only available if there is someone else who books and wants a roommate. In the event that does not happen, you have the option to upgrade your room to single occupancy. 

Please note that the rooms at our mountain retreat have a large king size bed and a smaller twin size day bed. The rooms at our beach retreat have two small twin size beds. If you are not comfortable sleeping in a smaller twin bed, please upgrade to a single occupancy room.

Yes, of course! We'd love to have you and your friend travel with us. If you'd like to share a room, please select the shared room occupancy.
