Sun, swims, shopping and spritzes. Bali is always a good idea, especially with your best girlfriends in tow. Every second year, our co-founders Hayley and Kate head off on a much-loved girls trip, and this year was no exception. A crew of ten, friends for what feels like forever, means there’s no shortage of laughter, long lunches and unforgettable moments.
This time around, Hayley takes us along for the ride, sharing postcards from their dreamy Bali escape. The group split their time between Seminyak and the laid-back island of Nusa Lembongan, the perfect mix of poolside hangs, massages on repeat, sunset cocktails, and just enough adventure.
Whether you're planning your own getaway or just daydreaming of one, let Hayley step you through the highlights. Think fresh food, great cocktails and all the good vibes — the ultimate recipe for a reset. Let’s go!
