Location
🚕 Local Transport:
Getting Around Bali
While our retreat offers seamless airport transfers, you may wish to explore the “sacred land” of Bali independently before or after our time together.
- Gojek & Grab: These are the “Uber” of Southeast Asia and are essential for your toolkit. Download the apps before you arrive. They offer transparent pricing and the choice of a car or a motorbike (scooter) taxi.
- Payment via App: You can link your Wise or Revolut card directly to the app to avoid handling cash for every ride.
- Safety First: Always verify the driver’s name and license plate in the app before entering the vehicle.
Blue Bird Taxis: If you prefer a traditional street taxi, look for the light blue “Blue Bird” cars with the bird logo. Ensure they use the meter to keep your journey grounded and fair.
📱 Staying Connected:
Mobile Data & SIM Cards
To maintain your “Integration Toolkit” and stay in touch with loved ones, having local data is highly recommended.
- The eSIM Advantage: If your phone supports it, download an eSIM (like Airalo or Maya Mobile) before you depart. This allows you to activate a data plan the moment you land without swapping physical cards.
- Local SIM Cards: You can purchase a physical SIM card (Telkomsel is the most reliable in rural areas) at the airport or at local shops. Note that Indonesian law requires your phone’s IMEI to be registered, which can be done at the airport customs desk upon arrival if you plan to stay long-term.
- Sanctuary Wi-Fi: Our “serene sanctuary” provides Wi-Fi, allowing you to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with your “inner blueprint” at your own pace.
- Digital Mindfulness: While having data is helpful for navigation, we encourage using your phone mindfully, especially during the Nyepi Day of Silence
