Ubud, Bali | 19 - 24 April 2027

An invitation to return to yourself

Something happens when you step away from the noise.

The nervous system softens. Your senses come back online. You remember that life isn’t meant to be rushed through, it’s meant to be felt.

This is your invitation to four days and five nights in beautiful Ubud, Bali.

The scent of sandalwood. The crow of a rooster at dawn. Bougainvillea spilling over ancient walls. Frangipani floating in the air. Ginger and watermelon on your tongue.

Ubud has a way of waking something up in you.

Together, we’ll step off the tourist trail and into a slower, more soulful side of the island, one rooted in food, tradition, spirituality and connection. The Bali you don’t find on a standard holiday itinerary.

This isn’t about ticking things off a list.

It’s about being fully available to the magic that arises.

Wandering rice fields as the sun rises.
Soaking in spring-fed pools.
Learning the secrets of exotic spices as we make delicious Balinese curries.
Experiencing a traditional holy water purification ceremony.
Nourishing ourselves with a divine day spa experience.
And leaving plenty of space for sleep-ins, early nights and simply being.

❋ authentic experiences

We’ll immerse ourselves in the culture, food and spirituality of Bali — without rushing from one experience to the next. There’s room to receive it all.

❋ party of 6

Six women. One intimate little group. Small enough that everyone knows your name by day two, and connected enough that we can move through the island as one.

❋ a host on the ground

From the moment you land, you’re looked after. Our local driver will meet you at the airport, guide us through most of our days and make sure you’re delivered safely back for your flight home.

❋ adventure and rest

Our days are intentionally woven with local adventures, nourishing experiences and generous pockets of nothing-to-do time. Because sometimes the most important thing on the itinerary is space to breathe.

Our divine accommodation

Step through ornate doorways and retreat into the shady oasis of the Honeymoon Guesthouse.

An ancient, traditional Balinese compound surrounded by holy statues, lush gardens and traditional architecture, staying at the Honeymoon Guesthouse is a very special experience.

It’s walkable to many sights, shops and spas, yet also a quiet sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle.

We’ll each have our own deluxe air-conditioned room with four poster double bed and mosquito nets, and our own spacious bathroom.

Breakfast is onsite at the Honeymoon Kitchen and our cooking school will also be held at the Honeymoon Guesthouse.

Hi, I’m Kate

I’ve been visiting Bali for over 15 years and have always returned to the island’s cultural heart, Ubud.

Ubud is a very special place, and I feel rejuvenated, inspired and lighter every time I visit.

It fills my cup, and I know it will fill yours!

My travel philosophy prioritises:

reverence for the community that we are in
supporting the local economy through participating in locally owned experiences
moving through our days with presence and curiosity
