Meet Lyss
vibe retreats director
My name is Alyssa - a Pilates instructor, ocean lover, traveller and a big believer in stepping outside your comfort zone to experience more of what life has to offer.
I think some of the best experiences come from saying yes to things that feel a little unfamiliar, putting yourself out there and being open to whatever comes from it. It's something I try to carry through my own life, and it's a big part of what drew me to Vibe.
After several years of teaching Pilates through events, festivals, local studios and my own classes at my local surf club, I co-hosted Vibe's very first retreat in April 2025 alongside Ash, Vibe's founder, and some incredible instructors.
I remember leaving that retreat thinking, this feels like where I'm meant to be. There was something so special about combining movement, travel and new experiences, while bringing together women from all different walks of life.
Since then, I've had the privilege of taking Vibe into its next chapter and hosting my first retreat on my own. It's been a pretty special experience, and one that's made me even more excited about what lies ahead.
I want Vibe to be an invitation to step outside your usual routine, try something new, meet people you might never have crossed paths with otherwise and make memories you'll carry home with you. And maybe discover a little more about yourself along the way, too.
I'm incredibly grateful to Ash for trusting me with something she created with so much heart, and I'm so excited to continue building on what she started.
Here's to saying yes to new experiences, getting a little uncomfortable and seeing where life takes us.
See you soon,
Lyss
Vibe started with my good friend Ash, but in many ways, the story started long before the first retreat.
Ash had already built such a beautiful presence within our community, the kind of person people naturally gravitate towards. She has this way of making people feel comfortable, included and genuinely seen, and I think that’s a huge part of why Vibe became what it did.
She had a real passion for bringing women together too and creating spaces where people could move, connect, have fun and just feel good. So when she had the idea to turn that into a retreat, she was brave enough to actually go for it. She took something that had been in her head and backed herself enough to make it real.
And people loved it. The community she built around Vibe was so genuine, and you could feel how much people trusted her and wanted to be part of what she was creating. She wasn’t just putting on retreats, she was creating a space that people felt connected to.
When she asked me to take Vibe on, I knew how much of herself was wrapped up in it. It was something she had built with so much heart, and being trusted with that meant a lot to me.
I’m incredibly proud of what Ash created, and even more grateful that I get to carry a little piece of her vision with me as Vibe continues to grow.
Where it all began
We’ve thought of everything, so you don’t have to. Once you land in Bali, the only decisions you’ll need to make are poolside smoothie or espresso martini?, and stretch class or sneaky nap? From airport pickup to your final sunset cheers, this retreat is curated to help you unwind, feel good, and have a damn good time doing it.
This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s not a silent retreat. It’s a beautifully balanced mix of movement, rest, laughter, and connection, with a side of luxury and a lot of good food. You’ll get daily Pilates, barre, stretch and breathwork classes (totally optional, totally feel-good), dreamy breakfasts and dinners tailored to your vibe, and more free time than you’ll know what to do with. Pool? Spa? Shopping? Another nap? Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
A few weeks before you arrive, you’ll fill out a personalised pre-retreat form so we know all the good stuff, how you like your coffee, your massage pressure, your favourite snacks, and whether you're coming solo or bringing a bestie. We use it to quietly make the week feel like it was made just for you.
Basically, you show up, and we’ve got the rest. And trust us, you’re gonna want to stay longer.
Don’t take our word for it—read what past retreat guests had to say.

honai resort, ubud
Tucked away just outside the heart of Ubud, Honai Resort is a peaceful jungle haven, surrounded by rice fields, palm trees, and that warm Bali stillness you can feel the moment you arrive. It’s only a short drive from Ubud’s main street (think shops, spas, markets, and smoothie bowls), but far enough to feel like you’re worlds away.
The resort has traditional Balinese architecture, a dreamy pool, an open-air yoga shala, lush gardens, and a spa you’ll never want to leave. It’s quiet, calming, and the perfect base to stretch, reset, and soak in the good stuff.
