View Accommodation

  • "Everything just flowed. I didn't have to think about anything — just show up and enjoy."

    Susan, Australia

  • "It felt like a true community. The friendships, the shared meals, the energy — everything just clicked. Waking up to nature and moving through each day with intention was something really special. I honestly didn't want it to end."

    -Pippa, Australia

  • "From the moment I met Courtney, I felt completely at ease. Her warmth, authenticity, and passion for movement create such a special atmosphere. She has a way of encouraging you to push yourself while still honouring where you're at. Every class feels like a reset for both body and mind.

Is this retreat right for me?

This retreat is for you if:

You've been to Bali before and want to experience it the way most visitors never do — the studios, the ceremonies, the hidden corners that don't make it onto everyone’s travel reel

You're curious about Sumba and the idea of somewhere truly remote, untouched and extraordinary appeals to you on a level you can't quite explain

You want a trip that moves — two islands, two completely different worlds, one seamless journey that leaves you feeling like you've really been somewhere

You're ready to move your body every day in the most beautiful settings on earth — and wind down properly every evening

You're a woman who travels solo and wants the safety, community and warmth of a small curated group (most guests on this retreat travel solo)

You want to come home feeling lighter, stronger and genuinely restored — not like you need a holiday from your holiday

You're done with tourist traps and generic resort retreats and want someone who actually knows Bali to show you what it's really about

Travelling solo? You’re in great company

The majority of guests on The Wanderlust Edit travel solo — and it's one of the things that makes this retreat so special. There's something about moving through two extraordinary islands together that accelerates connection in a way a single-location retreat simply can't. By the time you reach Sumba, these feel like people you've known for years.

Twin share guests are matched with a compatible roommate. We take this seriously — we consider travel style, sleep habits and personality, and in over a decade of running retreats, our matches have consistently become some of the strongest friendships formed on the trip.

If you'd prefer your own room throughout, single occupancy is available at each part. Either way, you'll never navigate any of this alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Bali and Sumba yoga retreat is designed to be flexible. You can join Bali only, Sumba only, or experience the full 13-day journey across both islands. Each part works beautifully as a standalone retreat — and the Full Journey offers deeper immersion and transformation.

  • Not at all. This Bali yoga and pilates retreat welcomes all levels — complete beginners through to experienced practitioners. Every session has options to modify or progress so you work at exactly the right pace for your body.

  • We blend nervous-system-supportive yoga with strength-based pilates for a balanced and sustainable approach to movement. Morning sessions are energising, evening sessions are slow and grounding. No two days feel exactly the same.

  • This is not a traditional single-location Bali yoga retreat. While movement is central to every day, this experience also integrates immersive cultural experiences, adventure, rest and nervous system support — across two of Indonesia's most extraordinary islands.

  • We intentionally balance guided experiences with free time throughout the Bali and Sumba retreat — so you can rest, explore, receive a massage, or simply do nothing at all. This is your escape. You set the pace.

THE EXPERIENCE

  • Fly into Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali (DPS). This is the main international airport for Bali and has direct flights from most major Australian cities. We'll send full flight guidance in your welcome pack once you're booked.

  • Sumba is approximately a 1.5 hour domestic flight from Bali — short enough to feel seamless, far enough to feel like a completely different world. We handle all internal transfers and help guide you to book your domestic flight between the two islands as part of the Full Journey.

  • Yes — travel insurance is compulsory for all Holistic Escapes retreats. We recommend comprehensive cover including medical, cancellation and travel delay. Please arrange this before your final payment is due.

TRAVEL & LOGISTICS

  • Your Bali and Sumba wellness retreat includes all accommodation across both islands, daily yoga and pilates sessions, breakfast daily in Bali, full board in Sumba, curated cultural experiences, signature wellness experiences and full in-destination support throughout.

  • Flights, travel insurance (compulsory), lunches and dinners in Bali, optional spa treatments and personal expenses are not included in your retreat investment.

  • In Bali, daily breakfast is included with the flexibility to explore Uluwatu and Ubud's incredible café scene for other meals. In Sumba at Alamayah, all meals are included — think farm-to-table dining in one of Indonesia's most beautiful settings.

ACCOMMODATION & INCLUSIONS

  • A US$500 deposit per part secures your space immediately (US$1,000 for the Full Journey). Your room is confirmed upon receipt of deposit with our secure travel booking partner Perfect Travel Group. Flexible payment plans are available with the final balance due 90 days before departure.

  • Once booked you'll receive welcome information covering everything — detailed retreat information, flight guidance, what to pack, visa requirements, health preparation and direct access to Courtney throughout your journey.

  • Deposits and payments are non-refundable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover any changes to your plans. Full terms and conditions are available on our booking terms page.
