R’n’R Read & Retreat in Bali is for women who are ready to step away from the noise and embrace the freedom of choice. A few beautiful days shaped not by schedules or expectations, but by whatever feels good in the moment. Reading by the pool. An afternoon massage. A conversation over cocktails. Or simply doing absolutely nothing at all.

Set amongst the lush beauty and calm of Ubud, this is a retreat designed around ease, pleasure and freedom. There are no alarms, no packed itineraries and nowhere you need to be. Your days unfold slowly. Mornings with coffee and a book overlooking the jungle, lunches that drift into the afternoon, and warm evenings by candlelight surrounded by the sounds and scents of nature.

This is your retreat, your rhythm.

You might begin the day with gentle yoga or a walk through the rice fields. Or perhaps you’ll sleep in, order breakfast late and settle into a shaded lounge with “just one more chapter”. You might spend an afternoon exploring boutiques and galleries, indulge in a spa treatment, or gather with the group for sunset cocktails and laughter. Options are there for you, but nothing is expected of you.

Enjoy a thoughtfully curated collection of included experiences, with plenty of freedom to read, rest, explore or simply do nothing at all.

This is not a retreat about transformation or reinvention. It’s about enjoyment. About giving yourself permission to slow down and savour life again. Beautiful surroundings. Delicious food. Time to think. Time not to think. Books piled beside the bed and nowhere pressing to be.

Picture tropical mornings, warm nights, beautiful conversations and the luxury of having time on your side.

Consider this your invitation to retreat differently. To read, wander, indulge and spend a few glorious days in Ubud doing exactly as much, or as little, as you please.

Ubud is one of Bali’s most soulful and luxurious destinations.  Lush, atmospheric and beautifully unhurried, with space for both connection and complete retreat. Designed exclusively for women,  Read & Retreat in Bali is a luxury women’s retreat created for those craving space, beautiful surroundings, inspiring conversation and the freedom to simply enjoy themselves.

You’ll be staying across two beautiful private luxury villas in Ubud, each designed for calm, comfort and ease. Every guest has her own en-suite room; her private space to retreat with a book, enjoy an afternoon nap, linger after a massage, or simply close the door and savour the quiet whenever she chooses.

With a maximum of just 10 women, this intimate women-only retreat in Bali remains intentionally personal and relaxed. Nothing feels crowded or performative. Conversation happens naturally – over tropical breakfasts, poolside afternoons or cocktails as the evening settles in, and solitude is always understood and respected.

Mornings begin at your pace. Perhaps with coffee overlooking the jungle, an easy walk through Ubud’s famous rice fields, or soft yoga before the day warms. Or perhaps you’ll simply stay in bed a little longer, book in hand, listening to the sounds of Bali waking slowly around you.

Reading, space, time and discovery sit at the heart of the retreat, woven effortlessly into each day. Quiet corners, shaded daybeds and sun-dappled lounges invite long, uninterrupted stretches of reading time. You might lose yourself in a novel for hours, drift between conversations and pages, or abandon the book entirely for a swim, a massage or an impromptu wander through Ubud’s boutiques, cafés and galleries.

Meals are part of the pleasure. Our private in-house chef creates beautiful, relaxed dining within the villa, alongside a special Balinese cooking class where you’ll spend time together learning local flavours and culinary traditions. There’s no rush to do anything. Long lunches linger, afternoons remain beautifully open, and the days move at their own delicious pace.

Day 4 – Saturday 17: Flavours, Stories & Connection

Awaken gently in the privacy of your villa as the first light of morning filters through the surrounding greenery. Your day begins with a private yoga session led by an experienced instructor, conducted in the serene setting of your villa.  Designed to suit all levels, the session focuses on mindful movement, breathwork, and gentle stretching allowing you to reconnect with your body, calm your mind, and set a peaceful tone for the day ahead. With nature as your backdrop and only the sounds of birds and rustling leaves around you, this intimate practice offers a deeply grounding start to your morning.

Starting at 10:00, enjoy a private cooking class arranged at The Bond Villas and guided by the villa’s chef. During this interactive experience, you will discover the rich flavours and traditions behind Balinese cuisine while learning how local dishes are prepared using fresh island ingredients. Following the class, sit down together and savour the dishes you have created as a delightful lunch experience.

As evening settles over the villa, gather your group for “Storytelling or Page-Turner & Pour-Overs,” a delightfully informal salon session created for relaxation and engaging conversation. Kick off your shoes and settle comfortably into the villa lounge for a leisurely dialogue with an anthropologist, filmmaker, or author in a setting that feels more like a private gathering among friends than a formal talk.

The evening explores the playful side of discovery from fascinating stories of the Indonesian archipelago to the imaginative “what-ifs” behind a book plot and the quirky inspirations that bring a light-hearted story to life. Relax with a chilled drink in hand and enjoy an open, unfiltered exchange where no question is too small and laughter flows as freely as the refreshments. Elegant grazing platters and light bites will be served throughout the session, perfectly complementing the relaxed villa ambiance.

Following this intimate gathering, indulge in a beautiful setting on the villas’ rooftop with a barbecue dinner curated and prepared by your villa’s personal chef. Using the freshest local ingredients, the chef will craft an evening enjoyed under the stars, this bespoke dining experience is the perfect conclusion to a day of wellness, culture, and meaningful connection.
