Stuck in lockdown with nowhere to go? Now is the perfect time to start thinking about your next getaway, and why not keep it health and wellness themed? We scanned the globe for the top yoga retreat destinations and found ourselves battling a major wave of FOMO as these lucky yogis practice in some of the world’s most gorgeous settings.
Check out our list of the seven best yoga retreats to plan ahead for below.
1. Puri Bagus Lovina Resort, Bali 5-Day Yoga Retreat
Bali is one of those dream destinations the mind goes to when you hear the mention of a “yoga retreat”. The tropical island offers many gorgeous yoga retreats. Try a five-day yoga retreat at the Puri Bagus Lovina Resort in the quaint coastal village of Singaraja. It’s nice because it offers a more quiet, traditional side of Bali than most tourist spots. Take a trek, go surfing, or tour a coffee plantation to take in some of Bali’s stunning sights when you’re off the mat. When you are, don’t worry, you’ll still be taking in the fresh air and Indian Ocean in their beachside yoga hall.
2. Sierra Hot Springs 3-Day Yoga Retreat
Looking for a slightly shorter retreat? Try the three day getaway to the Sierra Hot Springs Yoga Retreat in California. What makes this retreat unique is the natural hot springs which are said to have healing powers. After intensive yoga during the day, soaking your strengthening body in a natural hot spring feels amazing.
Located in the lush area of Sierraville, California, this retreat offers a serene getaway with plenty of scenic hikes.
3. Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 4-Day Retreat
For those looking for a women’s yoga retreat, look no further than Mind Body Complete Retreat.

Farm to table meals for breakfast and dinner nourish the body, while activities like snorkeling and beach bonfires provide plenty of activity for those interested.
