Why Bali Keeps Calling Us Back

When I first brought Bali into the SLAM calendar, I wasn’t simply adding an overseas destination. I was chasing a feeling - one I had experienced there myself and wanted to create for our community.

That feeling? Space. Real space. The kind that’s increasingly rare at home.

This year, we’re hosting two very different Bali experiences - our SLAM Mums & Kids Getaway and our Women’s Island Escape. Different seasons of life, different rhythms, yet built on the same foundation: women coming together and genuinely connecting.

And Bali continues to prove why it works so beautifully for SLAM.

More Than Beautiful Villas

Yes, the venues are stunning. Yes, the sunsets are unforgettable.

But what makes Bali work for SLAM women is what happens in between.

The slower mornings.The long dinners that stretch well past dessert.The conversations that go deeper than they ever seem to at home.

When I choose locations for our retreats, I’m not ticking boxes on a venue checklist. I’m asking:

How will women feel here?

Is there space to gather?Space to breathe?

Does this environment naturally invite openness and ease?

Luxury matters — but energy matters more.

Why Bali, Specifically

Bali sits in a sweet spot for our community. Close enough to feel easy. Far enough to feel like a genuine reset.

For mums, it offers environments where children can thrive while women finally exhale.

For those travelling solo, it offers intimacy, beauty, and a quiet spiritual undertone that encourages reflection - without ever feeling heavy.

It’s indulgent without being overwhelming.Meaningful without being intense.

That balance is rare. Bali does it naturally.

What’s Coming

Our 2026 Bali retreats are already in motion - and this is only the beginning of Bali’s role in the SLAM story.

As we look toward 2027, I’m excited to explore an elevated Business & Soul experience - something designed for women seeking clarity, connection and considered growth.

Because SLAM retreats have never just been about the destination.

They’re about how you feel when you come home.

And Bali keeps delivering that.
