I'm headed back to Bali and YOU are invited for the adventure of a lifetime!
Dates: July 7-15, 2025
Location: Poinciana Seaside Resort & Retreat Centre, North Bali
Pricing: Double occupancy starts at $1600, single occupancy starts at $2800
My Bali Bliss Retreat is open to women & men, singles, friends, or couples who are seeking the ultimate adventure in paradise! Join me for a 9-day/8-night journey to discover Authentic Bali at Poinciana Seaside Resort. You'll spend your week immersed in breathtaking beauty at our private resort located directly on the Bali Sea while immersing in Balinese culture, adventures in nature, optional daily yoga & meditation, and a whole lot of time to rest and reconnect with your true self and the magic of Bali.
Once you arrive, you have the option to do less...or MORE! Add on excursions & extra spa services or opt out of an excursion, skip a yoga class, and choose to simply relax and unwind. This is YOUR adventure and I want you to make it exactly what you need.
Poinciana Resort provides a balance of modern comfort with nature, tradition and style in harmony with the incredible beauty and traditional village life for which Northern Bali is well known. Just a 3 hour drive from Denpasar airport and a world away from the tourists, hustle & bustle and the traffic jams of the South and Ubud, Poinciana is set on the edge of the Bali Sea against a backdrop of scenic mountain ranges, surrounded by small villages and local farms. The resort's small size and seclusion gives it an intimate feel and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility… the perfect place to relax. We will have the entire property to ourselves during our stay so you have plenty of room to spread out and settle in, time to connect with the other fantastic members of our group, and time to reconnect with yourself in this magical setting.
If you are seeking a well balanced, expertly planned adventure to Bali - then this trip is for you! My Mary Baker Wellness Adventures take all the confusion and overwhelm of planning an amazing trip out of your hands. All you need to do is book your spot and buy your plane tickets and I take care of all the rest of the details. Prices start at just $1600 per person based on double occupancy with the option for single and even a few triple occupancy rooms based on your preference and budget.

AND...If you love scuba diving, then you are in for a treat! Option to add on a 1/2 day scuba trip to the Liberty Wreck located just 30 minutes east of Poinciana. Considered one of the top 100 places to dive in the world - it is truly spectacular!! And if you enjoy snorkeling, then get ready to simply stroll right into the water from the resort and immerse in the beauty of the Bali Sea. The local reef is teeming with life and is just lovely.

The reviews are in!! Here's what last year's participants had to say...
"Magical! That is the first word that comes to mind. The warm and wonderful staff of Poinciana. The resort itself is stunning. Mary executed a top-notch Bali Bliss retreat that was full of experiences, cultural moments, fun, engagement, connection, and beauty. The communication and coordination of the Bali Bliss Retreat were managed wonderfully with detailed information, and support always in how you wanted your experience to be. I can't wait to go on another Mary Baker Adventure! Come along with me! You will thank yourself! "
"The Bali Bliss retreat was unique from other "yoga" or "wellness" retreats in that it offered a little something different for everyone. Yoga was optional and wellness was defined by the individual. Those who wanted to get out to experience every excursion and activity did. Those who wanted to relax and deregulate by the ocean, pool or in the spa did. And for everyone else in-between, a balance of those things were available too, which was the beauty of this retreat. The Island of Bali is raw and beautiful in all of its extremes. From the secluded peaceful breathtaking beach resort we were blessed to stay in, to the busy hustle of the villages each vibrant in rich history and culture that pulls one in and welcomes the traveler with kind eyes. Bali is a place that now experienced will remain in my heart forever. Being a part of The Bali Bliss Retreat not only opened these experience to me but created a great group of friendly people to enjoy it along with. Aimee"
"Rest, relax and recharge. If you are looking for these things, a retreat is what you need. Mary Baker will have every detail covered which allows for you to really spend your trip time stress free. "
"This was truly one of those 'once in a lifetime' kind of experiences: the people, the places we've seen, the activities, the accommodations and food! It was simply perfectly blissful and relaxing. Can't wait to have another opportunity to join Mary and the gang on another trip! THANK YOU! Best, Eugene"

**While the property is able to accommodate for most food allergies as well as vegetarian and vegan diets, we cannot 100% guarantee that all meals will be free of gluten.

How to get there...
Travel to Bali is an adventure in itself. But don't fret or get overwhelmed! I'm here to help you every step of the way. From the moment you sign up I'll begin assisting you to ensure every detail is taken care of for a smooth and easy journey.
You will want to plan on an extra 2 days to reach the island due to the 15 hour time difference. From LAX the most common route is a red-eye to Singapore (16 hours), then Singapore to Bali (3 hours). I had other guests travel through Tokyo and Australia and added on a few days for some exploring. It's up to you how adventurous you want to be! I 100% recommend arriving in Bali the day before we begin our retreat and overnighting to give yourself time to acclimate if you can spare the extra day.
For your return, I highly recommend planning at least a one night stay somewhere closer to the airport so you aren't flying out the day the retreat wraps up. I have lots of suggestions in a multitude of price ranges to suit your needs. We will enjoy a leisurely morning at Poinciana, then get you off to your next part of your adventure! Whether you are headed straight to the airport or to your next destination, your ground transportation is covered and will be ready and waiting for you.
Plan on airfare of minimum $1000 -2000 depending on your comfort level. Airfare is NOT INCLUDED in your trip package and is up to you to arrange. I will provide suggestions based on what I am finding leading up to the trip.
Suggestion - since you are traveling SO far on this adventure, consider staying on to explore other parts of Bali after the retreat ends! There is SO much to explore and do and I am happy to help you plot out an itinerary.
