About your trip

You asked so we are doing it again...but better! Bali 2023 is happening. We will be in one of Bali's newest and most famous villas located in Ubud, where all the action is! 


Our private villa is located in the jungle away from all the hustle and bustle but close enough to to easily get to all the fun in Ubud. Each room has its own single or double twin bed(s) and a private bathroom. This will be our sanctuary for eight days with our own private pool, lounge areas, chef, transportation, concierge and one of the villas has a waterslide! We will also have our own private transportation as needed daily for all activities. Check out the photos at the bottom of this page to see the villas for yourself. 


If you've ever wanted to do a trip "Candace Blair" style this is the one! There will be lots of adventure mixed with world class massages and relaxation, amazing food, beach clubs, free time and more. 


This trip is for those who don't mind a group setting and getting to know new people. This is not a luxury, semi-private trip nor are we there to solely party. Please review the itinerary for more information about the activities we will all participate in together. 


No one under the age of 18 allowed due to the fact that some activities require everyone to be 18 and over and we are unable to accommodate a separate schedule for children.

Itinerary

Our itinerary will include highlights such as visiting Nusa Penida, the world famous "Bali Swing," riding ATV's, a private yacht, waterfall trekking and more! See the full itinerary for further details.


There will be a welcome dinner on day one for us to meet another. We will have breakfast at the villa every day, visit one-of-a-kind beach clubs overlooking the ocean and get top of the line massages whenever we want.

The current itinerary is subject to change. Due to circumstances out of our control such as weather, cancellations by the tour operators, etc. We will have plenty of options to choose from or may have to move tours to different days to accommodate the intended schedule but the show will go on so please be flexible!

Refunds

Your trip is non-refundable once payments have been made and the trip is officially happening. Once we start paying vendors we can’t get those funds back. Refunds only happen if the host cancels the trip with the exception of a $400 fee per person that the host is charged by the vendors to hold our dates at our villa and can not get back. Travel insurance is STRONGLY recommended to cover yourself in case you can not make the trip for any reason and to get your money back.


We will refer you to the best travel insurance company with a "cancel for any reason" policy. This information will come in a follow-up email once the deposit has been made.

What airport do I to fly into?

You will fly into Ngurah Rai International Airport in Kuta. The airport code is DPS.


We can refer you to a travel agent who can help you book your flight if needed.


There are also third party payment plans with our partner, Uplift, that you can use to pay for your trip that will extend payments up to 24 months if you need longer than the current payment plan with us. We also have suggestions for financing your flight. This info will be sent via email once your deposit is made.

Why book with Heal. Travel. Repeat?

We are a little different from your typical travel company. The founder, Candace Blair, is an adventure lover so she creates her trips to include once in a lifetime excursions for those that like to live on the wild side and try things they’ve never done before.

Most travel clubs rightfully and understandably play it safe when creating group trips. Usually doing more cultural tours, (which can be full on harassment to buy local crafts), volunteer opportunities (which are always great) and basic touristy group fun. We prefer to go off the beaten path and add a little more adrenaline to the trip while still getting the full experience of every country we travel to.


We are a smaller travel club that gives a more intimate setting and allows for less overhead fees on most trips so that we can offer a more competitive rate for the same experiences around the world as our larger counterparts.

Trip Packages Explained

There are only two packages. If you want a room to yourself, just choose the single occupancy package which is a queen size bed and private bath.


The second option is to have a double room (one room with two people) and you have the choice to pay separately, so each of you choose a package and pay your "half."


You can also choose to pay together as in payments are debited once for two people but you will have to email me and let me know so I can change it for you on the backend. 


If you choose to pay all together, you will settle any payments due to each other amongst yourselves.


You can also choose double occupancy if you want to book the double occupancy price and room with a same-sex individual that you will get to know over the course of the trip.

Is this trip price competitive?

Keep in mind that although this trip is higher than Bali 2022, it has all the activities included ('22 did not) and it's for eight days. 


Most Bali trips by other companies are for seven days for the same price and many times, cost much more! Other than dinner, which can be less than $10 for a lot of food in Bali, you will spend next to nothing after you arrive unless you choose to like shopping, partying, free day tours/activities, etc. 


You can easily only do what's on this itinerary and spend less than $100 once you arrive for dinners total, each day it's not offered if you eat at local restaurants rather than in higher priced touristy areas.


You are also staying in a highly sought after, 5-star accommodation in one of Bali's most popular cities, Ubud. Most travel companies offer 3-4 star hotels (many times with no staff besides housekeeping) to save money on their overhead and make money on commissions for hotels that participate. The host of this trip makes no commissions and pays all deposits out of pocket to hold your spot until you begin to pay which reimburses her.

Can I attend solo under a double room?

Yes you can. You will be paired with a same-sex roommate if you want to save some money and book the double occupancy price. The room will have two separate twin sized beds.

Mt Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour/Spa Day

Mt. Batur is one of Bali's most famous volcanos and the views at sunrise are a must see. We will take a classic jeep tour rather than hike so we can be one of the first to catch the sun as it rises for the morning.


We will then head to the spa to get your massage and flower bath included with your trip.


We will be done quite early in the day so you will have the rest of that time to yourself to explore some more, shop or relax!
