A Luxury Couples Retreat in Bali

Name: Couples Retreat Bali
Brand: Jacqueline Hellyer
Price: 5499 AUD

10–14 November 2025 | Ubud, Bali
Hosted by Jacqueline Hellyer,
Psychosexual Therapist & Intimacy Educator

You’re already close. You’ve built something real. Now something inside you is stirring…

A longing to deepen.
To soften into presence.
To explore intimacy as more than just affection or sex, but as a path to wholeness, vitality and sacred connection.

This retreat is for couples who are ready to evolve together: emotionally, erotically and spiritually.

Over five luxurious days in the lush jungle of Ubud, Bali, you’ll step out of routine and into a space of conscious relating. You’ll explore intimacy as a living practice, one that draws from the deep wisdom of Tantra, modern neuroscience and everything in between.

Guided by Jacqueline Hellyer— a trusted expert in connection, love and sacred sexuality — you’ll be gently supported to:
• Rediscover the pleasure of presence
• Reawaken erotic aliveness without pressure or performance
• Communicate with openness and emotional clarity
• Deepen into a love that is grounded, sensual, and soul-nourishing

Set in the extraordinary Bambu Indah eco-resort, this retreat is as beautiful as it is transformative. With daily love lessons, luscious guided practices and space for rest and ritual, you’ll leave feeling reconnected, recharged and renewed.

If your relationship is calling for expansion...this is your invitation.

"I thought this retreat would expand our sex life, but it didn’t so much expand as turn our sex life upside down! I’m now seeing the world with a new, exciting, slightly bewildering new light!"

"Thanks so much for a life changing five days! We were truly impacted and challenged beyond our expectations so thank you."

"We want to thank you so very much for the most wonderful week in paradise, both literally and metaphorically. Having been to your workshops previously we knew for sure that we were in for a week of lusciousness, but our week with you in Bali was more gloriously luscious and inspiring than we could have imagined."

Thank you for taking us on such a divine journey in such a beautiful setting. You are an incredibly skilled facilitator and it is clear the passion you have for making a real impact and changing the future of sex, intimacy and really meaningful and long-term connection.

What You’ll Experience at the Retreat

This is more than a holiday.
It’s a spacious, sacred container for you and your partner to reconnect, reawaken, and rediscover your unique erotic and emotional rhythm.

Each day is gently structured to balance learning and integration, with plenty of time for rest, reflection and private connection.

Your Daily Rhythm:

Morning love lessons
Held in the open-air riverside shala, these sessions focus on embodied practices — breathwork, energy awareness, meditative touch and mindful presence. They draw from ancient Tantric and Taoist traditions, inviting you to explore intimacy as a conscious, loving state of being.

Afternoon love lessons
In these more discussion-based sessions, we explore the psychology and science of relationships and intimacy — communication, attachment, polarity, boundaries and your unique relational dynamic. It’s a time for insight, clarity and emotional intimacy.

Evening love lessons
These sessions are playful, sensual and soulful. You’ll be guided through partner practices designed to awaken desire, deepen connection and soften into pleasure — with respect, reverence and a sense of lightness. All physical intimacy happens privately — it's your “homework.”

Plus…
• A Balinese temple field trip for a traditional couples’ blessing and sacred bathing
• A fire ceremony for symbolic renewal
• One open evening to rest, reflect or explore

What You’ll Learn (and Embody)

This retreat is more than a collection of techniques, it’s a transmission. A new way of being together. You’ll come away with knowledge and practices that awaken your erotic aliveness, deepen your emotional intimacy and make your relationship a more vibrant place to live and love.

Here’s a taste of what we’ll explore:

Cultivating a Creative and Satisfying Approach to Sex
Whether you’re rekindling desire or already in a beautiful rhythm, this retreat helps you develop an approach to sex that’s endlessly creative and deeply satisfying. You’ll learn how to keep your connection strong, your curiosity alive, and your erotic life evolving. This is the beginning — or continuation — of a love story that keeps getting better.

Enhancing Erotic Arousal Through Pleasure.
Discover how to work with the natural polarity of erotic energy — giving and receiving, leading and following, intensity and subtlety. You’ll be introduced to the Seven Elements of Sex, a powerful framework for enriching your individual and shared erotic exploration.

Exploring the Ecstasy of Valleys and the Intensity of Peaks
Yes, the peaks of sex are thrilling, but it’s in the valleys where true ecstasy emerges. You’ll learn how to slow down, soften into your body and discover extended states of orgasmic connection. We’ll even explore how to bring Tantric awareness into a quickie!

Merging Love and Sexual Energy.
Especially in long-term relationships, learning to blend sexual and loving energy is key. You’ll discover how to stay erotically connected throughout your day, cultivating a warm, simmering field of affection and desire that makes physical intimacy feel natural and easy.

Developing an Erotic Language.
Talking about sex needn’t feel awkward. You’ll learn how to communicate openly and supportively about your desires, boundaries, and fantasies. Together, you’ll develop a shared erotic language that’s playful, respectful, and inspiring — so that sex becomes a joyful, mutual hobby.

Strengthening Your Couple Bubble.
You’ll explore the powerful concept of the Couple Bubble — the third entity in your relationship. Learn how to nourish and protect your shared field of connection, so that you feel safe, seen, and supported as individuals and as a couple. When your Couple Bubble is strong, everything else flows more easily.

Slowing Down into the Chill Zone
Great sex isn’t about trying harder, it’s about slowing down, sinking in and syncing in. You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous systems, create attuned connection and bring mindfulness into your intimate life. It’s not “woo woo” — it’s embodied wisdom that makes perfect sense in the real world.

Explore how the ancient teachings of Tantra align beautifully with contemporary science and psychology. Far from being esoteric, the Tantric approach is simply conscious, embodied, present-moment love-making. It’s erotic. It’s intimate. And it’s more relevant now than ever.

"The opening up to my own sexuality and what it means for us as a couple has been way beyond my expectations. I’ve felt safe and loved the sense of playfulness and the choices we’ve had whether or how to participate. I go away hugely enriched."

"We want to thank you so very much for the most wonderful week in paradise, both literally and metaphorically. Having been to your workshops previously we knew for sure that we were in for a week of lusciousness, but our week with you in Bali was more gloriously luscious and inspiring than we could have imagined."

"I thought this retreat would expand our sex life, but it didn’t so much expand as turn our sex life upside down! I’m now seeing the world with a new, exciting, slightly bewildering new light!"

"Thanks so much for a life changing five days! We were truly impacted and challenged beyond our expectations so thank you."

A personal note from Jacqueline:

I’ve been guiding couples through retreats and workshops for nearly two decades and I never stop being amazed by what happens when two people give themselves the space to truly meet again.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare, and precious, to pause, turn inward and tend to your connection with care and intention.

I bring to this retreat everything I’ve learned from years of psychosexual therapy, spiritual practice, scientific study — and thousands of hours with couples just like you.

This particular retreat is one of my favourites. The setting is magical. The intimacy is real. And the growth profound.

If you feel a stir of yes, trust it. Something truly beautiful is waiting for you!

With love,

Jacqueline Hellyer

Couples Retreat FAQs

Not at all. Sharing is always optional. This retreat is focused on your relationship, not group therapy. You’ll be supported to connect with each other, not perform for others.

You are welcome to stay elsewhere, although it is so lovely that I highly recommend you do!

Yes, all food requirements can be met. And it's all delicious!

No. All group sessions are fully clothed, respectful and classy. Any erotic practices take place in private — as optional “homework.”

Yes, this retreat is designed for couples who want to grow, not just heal. Whether you’re feeling a little distant or already deeply connected, you’ll benefit from time to deepen, explore and renew your bond.

If you're not sure, feel free to contact me and I'll give you a call to discuss your situation. As long as you're in a reasonably good space you should be fine. If your relationship is at breaking point or you are very volatile then I recommend you see me for private sessions first. Often couples do have a session or more before attending the retreat, and some have private sessions afterwards to consolidate and focus on individual issues.

Once your deposit is received, we’ll connect you with Bambu Indah to finalise your accommodation (unless you are staying elsewhere). The remaining retreat balance is due six weeks prior. If you need a payment plan, let us know, we’re happy to assist.

That’s completely normal — and often transforms during the retreat. This experience is gentle, non-confrontational, and surprisingly enjoyable. Many hesitant partners leave feeling deeply grateful they came.

Your retreat fee covers all sessions, group activities, temple visits, some meals and guided practices. Accommodation, some meals, flights, and spa treatments are additional.

Each day includes a morning and afternoon session, with a generous break in between. The first evening is a welcome dinner, the second is a workshop, the third is a fire ceremony and the fourth is open.

Ready to take the next step?

This is your invitation to deepen, to reconnect, and to awaken the love that lives between you.
If something in you says yes - trust it.
