A 13-day luxury wellness journey through Bali and Sumba designed to reset your nervous system, awaken your sense of adventure, and reconnect you to yourself.

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a recalibration.

Who shows up. Performs. Leads. Gives.
And quietly dreams of disappearing somewhere wild and beautiful for a while.
Over 13 unforgettable days, we move between the dramatic coastline & lush jungles of Bali to the untouched landscapes of Sumba — blending movement, culture, adventure and deep rest in a way that feels expansive, not exhausting.
This is where clarity returns.

choose one part or both for the full wanderlust experience
Part One: Bali -
Soft landing & Ocean dreaming in Uluwatu
You land in Uluwatu and immediately feel your shoulders drop.
Ocean air.
Salt on your skin.
Movement in the mornings.
Ice baths overlooking the cliffs.
Slow dinners under the stars.
This is your transition out of “doing” and into “being.”
Highlights include:
Stress free airport pickup and 2 Nights accomodation in a gorgeous Balinese style Lumbung at S Resorts
Daily yoga and energising fitness classes including yoga sculpt in the fully equipped gym on site.
Biohacking session at The Istana – next-level rejuvenation: cryotherapy-inspired ice baths, infrared saunas and clifftop views.
Ubud — Jungle Integration & Inner Awakening
After the ocean energy of Uluwatu, we retreat inland — into the heart of Bali’s spiritual centre.
Ubud is where the pace softens.
Where mornings begin with mist rising through the jungle canopy.
Where the noise fades and something deeper comes forward.
This chapter of the journey is about integration.
Slower mornings.
Longer practices.
Conversations that stretch into the afternoon.
Moments of stillness that feel unfamiliar — and then necessary.
Stay in our private 6-bedroom, 6-bath jungle sanctuary — one of Bali’s most breathtaking villas. Wake to lush jungle views, unwind in the serene infinity pool & spa, and move in our dedicated in-villa yoga shala, all designed for deep restoration and total escape.
Here, we go deeper into the practices.
Not just movement — but meaning.
Not just wellness — but awareness.
Wellness Highlights Include:
Daily movement, yoga, pilates, meditation & breathwork sessions designed to regulate your nervous system and expand your capacity
Sound Healing at the world-famous Pyramids of Chi — vibrational therapy inside otherworldly pyramids, allowing ancient frequencies to recalibrate your body and mind
Yin yoga session at Alchemy — Bali’s iconic original yoga sanctuary
Sacred Balinese Waterfall Ritual — a guided cleansing ceremony rooted in local tradition, inviting release, renewal, and reconnection
Spacious afternoons for spa treatments, café exploring, journaling, or simply resting by the infinity pool without guilt
Ubud is where clarity returns.
Where the outer adventure becomes an inner one.
And just when you feel reset — we take you somewhere even more wild.
Part Two: Sumba – Where the Magic Deepens
Just when you feel reset — we go deeper (and just a 1hr domestic flight from Bali)
Sumba is raw. Untouched. Expansive.
The kind of place that reminds you how small your worries really are.
Here, time stretches.
We practice at sunrise.
We swim beneath waterfalls.
We eat food grown from the earth around us.
We rest without guilt.
Everything is handled for you — from airport transfers to daily practices — so you can fully surrender to the experience.
Your Sumba Experience Includes:
Exclusive 5-star resort buyout
An intentionally intimate experience limited to just 6 rooms — meaning privacy, space, and a level of personalised attention you simply won’t find in larger retreats.
Nourishing full-board dining
Conscious, farm-to-table meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) designed to energise, restore and deeply nourish.
Daily sunrise movement & breathwork
Invigorating morning yoga, pilates and breathwork sessions — evolving each day to meet the energy of the group and the landscape around us.
Grounding evening rituals
Slow practices at sunset to regulate your nervous system, integrate the day, and soften into rest.
Unlimited hot & cold therapy
On-demand ice bath and steam room access — available anytime you feel called.
Wild nature immersion
Waterfall expeditions, raw coastline adventures, swimming with horses, and moments that feel untouched and cinematic.
In-house spa sanctuary
Massages and treatments available on-site for deeper relaxation and restoration.
Spaciousness
Unstructured time to journal, nap, wander, swim, think — or do absolutely nothing.
A true sense of being away from it all
No crowds. No rush. No noise. Just nature, depth and presence.
Sumba is where the noise fully drops away.
Where the outer adventure becomes inner integration.
Where you stop performing — and simply exist.
This is the chapter where everything settles into your body.
This retreat is intentionally intimate.
Just 12 spots.
Only 6 rooms for both.
When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Meet your host
Courtney Chambers
Hi, I’m Courtney — founder of Holistic Escapes, 525-hour certified yoga teacher, mum to a busy little human, ex-flight attendant, and lifelong traveller who traded constant movement for more mindful, meaningful journeys.
I’ve been travelling to Bali since I was young, and over the years I’ve learned how to experience the island beyond the tourist traps, curating the kind of moments that make you feel connected rather than rushed. From hidden cafés to soul-soothing nature, I love crafting trips that feel personal, easeful, and deeply nourishing.
And then came Sumba, a place that absolutely blew my mind. It felt like what discovering Bali might have been like in the 60s: raw, untouched, wild, and profoundly alive. Being there reminded me why I fell in love with travel in the first place.
After years in the air as a flight attendant, I hit burnout. I was helping others chase experiences while becoming disconnected from my own. Yoga became my anchor, a way back to presence, breath, and balance, especially through motherhood. It’s from that place that I now create retreats: spacious, soulful, and full of aliveness.
I’ve since led retreats across Australia, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Bali — blending adventure, cultural immersion, and the restorative power of yoga and connection. These retreats aren’t about “fixing” yourself. They’re about remembering who you are, softening into your essence, and letting travel change you in the best possible way.
If you’re craving inspiration, adventure, community, and a deeper connection to yourself, I’d love to guide you through Bali and Sumba — two places that have shaped me and continue to work their quiet magic on everyone who visits.
