Your Choices
Dearest Baliessence,
YOU were my reason for even deciding to come to Bali and this was the best decision of my life.
Thank you to my beautiful friends and owners of this gorgeous business, Robyn Smith and Danina Scrivenor, for treating me like a Queen and teaching me that –
“THIS is how life should be and that I deserve nothing less”.
Those words will never leave my mind from this day forward. You nurtured me, lifted me up and showed me exactly how I should be treated from here on in.
From the beautiful Villa to the gorgeous massages, to intellectual conversations, and jewellery-making to all the exquisite restaurants, home cooking classes, manifestation classes, offering makings and purifications I received, I cannot explain how deeply in tune I feel; all I know is my cup is overflowing and this retreat has boosted my confidence more than ever before.
Thank you Baliessence so much for the boost I needed.
A special thank you also to Christopher Scrivenor, Lekco Lekco and all the staff at the Villa, you made me feel like I was no.1 every single day, and for that I am humbled.
God bless you all.
Anyone wanting to get away and feel like the Goddess that you truly are, this is the retreat for you!!
It’s great that everything is looked after for you from your food, accommodation, tours, and transport.
Don’t have to worry about anything except what you are going to wear.
I highly recommend Baliessence retreats
A delicious break from life and all its demands.
From the moment I arrived, everything was so easy and relaxing! Both Robyn and Danina know just how to create a luxurious, loving, and healing space to recalibrate.
I honestly felt like the luckiest girl on earth in this precious bubble of time.
Can’t wait to come back with a friend to experience more! Thank you beauties

Danina and Robyn are some of the kindest and most beautiful souls you will ever meet. From the moment I met them, I felt seen, heard, supported, and simply at peace.
Their life stories and background is inspiring and they both have a unique gift to create a beautiful, warm, relaxing, safe, and nurturing environment; with the right amount of joy and laughter sprinkled
into it.
Their passion and love for Balinese culture is contagious and beautifully reflected in elements of their retreats.
I highly recommend Baliessence. Thank you, Danina and Robyn!

Welcome to your luxurious home away from home.
Just one week, seven days that’s all we need to share our beautiful World with you.

The Experience
These truly are luxury retreat tours to Bali
And you totally deserve it.
Welcome to our incredible home in Bali –
Our very private 5-bedroom villa nestled in the quiet end of Ubud on the edge of the ricefields.
We have made this villa our home. It is a five-bedroom villa (with an addition of another two if needed).
Our lovely hosts have travelled all over Indonesia collecting art and antiques which fill our home. There is an overflowing library, full of amazing books, there is a cool quiet media room with everything you need.
The kitchen is fully functioning and comes with incredible staff and a very clever chef. We have a large open-air living room which is designed in tropical style with thatched roofs, to take advantage of the afternoon breezes. The very large pool is amazing, as well as the large jacuzzi and steam room.
The bedrooms with huge outside lush tropical bathrooms, are all air-conditioned and have large nets and couches, and gorgeous art everywhere.
All of this is nestled in a large lush garden, and down a path at the back of the property is the massage bale, situated right next to a small waterfall, perfect for the afternoon massage…

When it all gets hard…
When it all gets hard… Sometimes I get a little edgy, a bit grumpy, bit over it. Our tours can be a little out of our western comfort zone. Especially if this is your first time. Living in a tropical, jungle environment with all the associated issues, bugs, geckos,...
Luscious Rice Fields of Jatiluwih
Luscious Rice Fields of Jatiluwih As much as we wanted to stay in our little retreat in Balian Beach a little longer we left and headed for Jatiluwih, Located in Tabanan Regency and framed by Mount Batukaru and Mount Agung. The Jatiluwih rice terraces are another of...
The Hair Crème Bath
One of my favourite things to do when I visit Bali is to go to a day spa and treat myself to a hair creme bath. It’s basically getting your hair not just washed but massaged with a special creme. Before you say that it’s too simple and not worthy to be a Bali retreats...
Testimonials
People LOVE our luxury retreat Tours to Bali!
Had an amazing time from the time I got off the plane until I was on the plane I was treated like a queen. The villa was luxurious and the pool and spa were divine. Every meal was awesome and the tours were sooo good. I was hesitant going by myself to Bali but the other ladies I met on the tour were lovely and I have come away with new friends. Thankyou Danina and Robyn I will be back with friends lol
I recommend this place for anyone looking for relaxation and mind therapy, while enjoying the beautiful scenery and humble people
I went to Bali in December 23 and was introduced to Baliessence. Danina had a number of activities organised as well as lots of good restaurants to eat, painting classes, swimming, great places to watch the Bali sunset, visited the Monkey and Elephant park and we visited a woodcarving retailer. QUALITY work with quality wood. Beautiful.
The highlight was my visit to healer Wayan. I WAS SKEPTICAL…….I am converted. I have gone from taking 6 osteo panadol a day, to the occasional 2 with breakfast. PAIN HAS GONE. thankyou Wayan. You have made my days so much easier.
I loved my time in Bali and was so glad I spent it with somebody who knew the places to go, people to see, food to eat and the Genius WAYAN.
Thanks Danina & Robyn.
