Welcome to Big Love
Our retreat is for people looking for inspiration, an alternative perspective, or a new plan. To do this Big Love employs nature, space for experimentation, and some very special energy, to enable you to create your own experience of self discovery, re-invention, or renewal.
Life at Big Love emerges organically, and no detail is spared. We plant healing leaves and roots for fresh teas. We stock our workshops with activities to explore. We build comfortable spaces from which to contemplate the expansive views. Every inch of the estate is lovingly hand crafted to inspire and support the journey within and the discovery of a little more about the phenomenal story of who we are.
Welcome to Big Love
Our retreat was built for people looking for inspiration, an alternative perspective, a complete reboot, or a new plan. To do this Big Love provides beautiful, visually provocative spaces, inspiring learning labs, and some incredible creative energy, to enable you to create your own very personal experience of self discovery, re-invention, or renewal.
We are be-who-you-are junkies. It took us over 5 years to devise the Big Love experience and no detail is spared. We planted healing leaves and roots for fresh teas. We stocked our studios with activities for you to explore. We built comfortable spaces from which to contemplate the expansive views. Every inch of the estate has been lovingly hand crafted to inspire and support your retreat - the journey within and the ultimate discovery of a little more about the phenomenal story of who you are.
Big Love is not for everyone but if you feel our vision resonates with yours we look forward to welcoming you here soon.
Nature Sanctuary. Creative Refuge. Shelter from the Storm.
Throughout the ages humanity has valued the opportunity to break from life and retreat to a place where our senses can open and we can listen to ourselves and the world around us. Retreat is a deliberate act of letting go to provide way for the new, rekindling our relationship with ourselves and clarifying what is essential and meaningful in our lives.
You are the guide
The Big Love retreat experience is self directed. The freedom to follow your heart's desire and direct your time and energies along the path it takes is core to the experience. Simple crafts, stimulating ideas, art supplies and organic suggestions are all provided. However as you direct your energy inwards, and begin to listen to your own voice, what, when and how is really up to you.
The experience is organic
Depending on your circumstances and where you have come from the body takes 3-7 days to relax and acclimatise to its new surroundings. Away from the distractions and annoying addictions of modern life, the seed of something new reveals itself as we reconnect to the person we really are.
Nourishment for the body and the mind
To nourish the mind we take care of the body with fresh produce, organic rice straight from the farm, and healing herbs. We create delicious, home cooked meals or you can make your own in the retreat kitchen.
Totally private. Selectively communal.
Retreating is personal. You will be left completely to yourself to follow your nose. At any time you are welcome to share our communal spaces with our Big Love team, our resident canines and others who may be working or learning here.
Beyond Big Love.
If you wish to experience the mind-blowing cultural practices of our Balinese hosts or the mesmerising nature of their beautiful island, we have assembled an eclectic collection of unique experiences from which to choose.

Nourishment for the body and the mind
To nourish the mind we take care of the body. For some taking responsibility for the preparation of this sustenance is highly therapeutic. Others find feeding themselves to be a distraction to the flow of their process. We offer both self service kitchen (our staff can provide fresh, local ingredients to suit your tastes) or full-board (simple home cooked meals served in a location of your choice).
