Women's Wellness & Detox Escape on Gili Air, Indonesia

This retreat is run by Thurayya, a company founded by Becky, an American expat who lives on Gili Air. After a corporate career in marketing and a health scare linked to stress, she built a program around the habits that helped her recover: daily movement, meditation, clean food, and a structured morning routine. The retreat reflects that personal journey – it's focused on giving you tools you can actually take home, not just a week of pampering.

The property is a newly opened guesthouse 100 meters from the beach, with a yoga shala, a pool, a sauna, and an ice bath. You'll stay in a Classic or Premium Double Bungalow, each with two single beds and a private bathroom. The retreat is capped at a small group (the exact number isn't stated, but it's intimate), and around 7 reviews suggest a 5.0 rating, with guests repeatedly mentioning the sense of safety and sisterhood.

The schedule is full but not exhausting. You'll do daily workouts – often yoga or Pilates in the morning, plus a couple of HIIT sessions. There's a snorkeling day to swim with sea turtles, a full-day trip to Lombok with a waterfall hike and a traditional Indonesian lunch, a cooking class, a jewelry-making workshop, and a beach bonfire night. Two one-hour Balinese massages are included, as is an ice bath session, which the group does together.

What makes this different from a typical wellness retreat is the emphasis on sisterhood. The host explicitly designs for connection – roommate matching, women's circles, group dinners, and shared experiences like the cacao ceremony and sound healing. The reviews back this up, with guests writing about feeling 'safe, loved, protected, and supported' and forming friendships that lasted beyond the week.
