🛫 Flights, Dates/Times, Passport, Visas

When searching for flights to Bali, Indonesia follow these guidelines:

Bali Yoga & Embodiment retreat officially begins Saturday, March 7 at 4:00 pm. The retreat ends after breakfast on Saturday, March 14. (Time tbd)

Reserve your travel to Bali well-ahead, as flights are often booked up long in advance and hard to get at the last minute, particularly during holiday periods. Please make sure your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of entry into Indonesia, or you will be refused entry.

Airport: Fly into Denpasar Airport. Nirartra Retreat center is 90 minutes from Denpasar. Airport transfer to and from the retreat center is covered by your retreat fee.

Arrival & Departure: Arrive at Nirartra Retreat center Saturday 3/7 between 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Depart Nirartra Retreat center on 3/14 between 12:00 - 1:00 pm.

Travel Dates: Guests are welcome to book additional nights at Nirartra to bookend the retreat - there are plenty of inexpensive comfortable places to stay near the airport or in Ubud, a city of major attraction in Bali! Ubud is 40 minutes from the airport and 1hr from the retreat center.

Plan for 2 days of travel before and after the retreat (ie: Thursday 3/5 - Monday 3/16). This is 12-14 days total. If you have time to extend travel, we recommend that. Bali is 13 hours ahead of our timezone.

This is a great option if you're a rugged, light traveler. We've heard mixed reviews about this airline's timeliness and many say to stay away if possible.
