Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Ubud and an Evening Stretch in the Garden
14:00
1.5h
Airport transfer up to Ubud's river valley
Take a pre-booked car from Ngurah Rai up through the rice country to Ubud, about 90 minutes once you clear Denpasar. Ask the driver to stop for water and a local SIM card, since Ubud's lanes have patchy signal.
📍 Ngurah Rai Airport to Ubud
16:00
1h
Villa check-in and a herbal welcome drink
Settle into a wellness villa above the Ayung or Petanu river, where most rates include breakfast and a daily yoga class. Confirm the class timetable at the desk before unpacking, as schedules change with the season.
📍 Ubud
18:00
0.75h
Gentle garden stretch at dusk
Join a short evening stretch in the villa garden, working through slow hip openers after the flight. Keep it light and skip inversions on the first night; the point is to unwind rather than to train.
📍 Ubud villa
19:30
1.5h
Balinese vegetarian dinner by candlelight
Eat a plant-based set menu at the villa or a nearby garden cafe, where produce comes from the surrounding farms. Portions are light and the kitchen closes early, so order by 20:00 and turn in for an early night.
📍 Ubud
💡 Pro Tip: Bali is UTC+8 year-round. Entry rules depend on your passport, so check the Indonesia visa section before booking. Ubud sits 1 to 1.5 hours from the airport depending on traffic, and the last stretch along Jalan Raya is often jammed in the late afternoon. Most studios and villas accept cards; warungs and temple offerings still run on cash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ubud a good base for a 5-day yoga and wellness trip?+
Yes. Ubud has the densest cluster of yoga studios, wellness villas and spas in Bali, plus rice-terrace walks straight from town. Staying in Ubud for all five days avoids transfers, though you will need a driver or scooter for the hot springs day and the airport run, which takes about 1.5 hours.
Which months are best for a yoga retreat in Ubud?+
April to October is the dry season, when the Ubud hills stay cooler and terrace walks are mud-free. September and October are ideal: dry, less crowded and cheaper than July-August. The wet season brings heavy afternoon showers and higher humidity, but studios stay open and rates drop sharply.
Do you need to book Ubud yoga classes and spa treatments in advance?+
Drop-in classes are common, but popular studios and the better spas fill in high season, so reserve a day or two ahead for specific teachers or treatments. If you want a multi-day pass or a hot-spring spa day, book before you arrive. Confirm whether mats, towels and transfers are included.
How much does a 5-day wellness trip to Ubud cost?+
This wellness itinerary is budgeted at roughly $900 to $1,500, excluding international flights, covering a wellness villa, daily yoga, a hot-spring spa day, meals and airport transfers. Booking in the September-October shoulder season or the wet season lowers villa rates noticeably without closing studios.
