Have you ever noticed how incredible it feels to be truly looked after?

Not just in a surface-level way, but in a deep, nourishing, “I can finally exhale” kind of way?Science backs this up—when we feel cared for, our bodies respond. Studies show that acts of kindness and nurturing increase oxytocin levels (the “love hormone”), reducing stress and boosting overall well-being. Being looked after isn’t just a luxury; it’s a fundamental human need.Yet, in our busy lives, we often take care of everyone but ourselves. We push through, keep going, and tell ourselves we’ll rest later. But what if later never comes?This is why, at our Bali retreats, being looked after isn’t just a nice bonus—it’s woven into everything we do. From the moment you arrive, we take care of the details so you can fully be. No decisions, no pressure, no expectations—just space to rest, reset, and receive.Imagine waking up to the sound of tropical birds, starting your day with nourishing food made for you, moving your body in ways that feel good, and reconnecting with yourself—all while being gently held in a space designed just for you.Being looked after is more than just pampering; it’s a way of remembering what it feels like to be truly supported. And when you return home, you’ll carry that feeling with you.Maybe it’s time to let yourself exhale…

Testimonial from a retreat guest who joined us in Bali last year…

“Bali Vibes Retreat - oh wow, what an amazing experience! Tina organised and hosted ‘The Best of Bali’. She has already done all the ground work and connections with cafes, restaurants, shops and experiences so we were able to see and do all of these day after day for a whole week! Each day began with a beautiful yoga session lead by Jane Pascoe, which enhanced our experience.
I was nervous about going to Bali for the first time but this was a great way to experience what Bali has to offer in a safe and supportive way. I will now bring my family and friends back to show them how much fun Bali is.
I would totally recommend Tina and Retreats by Design - you are amazing, thank you.”
