Bali Fitness Retreat 2026 | Active Escapes

About This Escape

Active Escapes' Original — and Most Loved — Destination

Our original destination and still our most popular one. Bali has everything: world-class surf breaks, stunning villas, incredible food, a rich culture, and the kind of energy that makes every single week unforgettable.

It's not about how fit you are — it's about showing up, having a blast, and going home feeling like a completely new person. We've been running retreats in Bali since 2012, and we've got it down to an art. Five-star Trip Advisor ratings, a world-class team, and a reputation that speaks for itself.

Do I need to be a fitness fanatic to come?

Not at all! Active Escapes is not about how fit you are — it's about having FUN. We aim for you to be fitter at the end than when you arrive, and we cater for everyone, from people who want to train hard all week to guests who just want to join in when they feel like it. We can be as intense or as relaxed as you like!

I'm thinking of coming by myself — is that okay?

Of course! The majority of our guests come solo, and in our experience, solo travellers have the absolute best time. You'll make lifelong friends within the first 24 hours — that's pretty much guaranteed.

What does the cost cover?

Everything! Your package covers accommodation, all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), all planned activities, airport transfers, coaching, surf lessons, massages, ice baths, the 5-star resort evening, and the photo package. The only extras guests typically spend money on is the occasional drink when we're out.

Is a cheeky cocktail or a few beers allowed?

Of course! At Active Escapes we work hard and we reward ourselves for it. The second-to-last night is always planned as party night — so bring your dancing shoes. Bali has some incredible spots.

What's the age range?

Guests need to be at least 18 years of age. The majority of our guests are aged between 25 and 45, but we've had incredible guests up to 60 who have an absolute blast. Age really is just a number with us.

What if I can't surf?

No worries at all! Our experienced local and international surf coaches are on hand to help beginners get to their feet. We make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident in the water. If you'd prefer to skip surfing and enjoy the beach or stay by the pool — that's absolutely fine too.

What is the food like?

Incredible. Our private international chef prepares fresh, whole-food meals daily — lean meats, fresh seafood, amazing salads, rices, and tropical flavours. There are also restaurant dinners at some of Bali's best spots. Special dietary requirements? We've got you. Vegetarians and vegans are fully catered for.
