Wellness With Wine.
A Retreat That Feels Like a Holiday Not a Bootcamp.
 



Space to relax, a flexible program, and time to reset without judgment.

This is for you if…

​If you love the idea of wellness travel but feel turned off by rigid schedules, early starts, juice cleanses, or being told how you should feel by 22-year-old “healers” named Skylar, this retreat was designed with you in mind

 

Wellness does not have to be extreme to be effective.

This 8-day retreat is about feeling good in beautiful surroundings in Hua Hin, Thailand, gentle, flexible wellness options, rest, delicious and nourishing food, wine and cocktails, time to yourself, and company when you want it.

Nothing compulsory.

No deprivation. No banning coffee or alcohol.

 

No judgment.

I’ll be there to host the experience, handle the details, and make sure you feel relaxed and supported, whether you’re in the mood to join in or do your own thing each day.

Bron

My name’s Bronwyn White. I’ve spent more than 30 years in the travel industry.

Over that time, I’ve heard the same thing from women about wellness retreats again and again.

 

They’re drawn to the idea… but quietly terrified of the reality.

So many retreats feel all-or-nothing.

Most are yoga-centric. You need to arrive in downward dog.

 

Restrictive.

 

Intimidating.

 

And others in the group arrive flexible, already disciplined, already “doing wellness properly”.

 

And if you’re not?  You feel ashamed.

I know this feeling because I’ve lived it myself.

 

I’m in my 50s. I’m plus-size.

 

I want to move, stretch, and try different wellness experiences but I don’t want to be shamed, corrected, or made to feel like I’ve turned up unprepared.

​​

One of my own experiences at a yoga retreat still sticks with me. The room was packed. I hadn’t even started the class, my mat was down, and I was sharply told by a fellow yogi that I’d done it wrong. 

I couldn’t do the poses.

 

Knowledge was assumed.

 

There was definitely no “yoga flow” for me that day. It wasn't very namaste.

I went home thinking, surely, there’s something wellness-and-retreaty in between doing nothing and doing everything.

And the narrative around wellness retreats is so rigid.

Add menopause into the mix and it can feel relentless.

 

Lift weights. Eat protein. Cut out wine. Cut out coffee. Get sleep. Optimise everything in your life.

 

There’s very little permission to go slowly.

I’m aware I need to change some habits as I move into the second half of my life (and yes, I’ve got a few rolls I’d rather not have).

 

But I still want to learn how to move and stretch without strain.

 

And I definitely don’t want deprivation, judgement, or someone watching what’s in my glass while I learn and try things.

I wanted to create a retreat that is balanced.  As you like it.

 

A retreat where we can try things together, rest properly, sleep deeply, and enjoy being away with a group of people without pressure or performance with a cocktail if I want it.  

One of my friends, Ann, summed it up perfectly when she said she wanted a restful wellness retreat with a non-judgemental glass of wine at the end of the day.

 

That’s exactly what this retreat is.

What This Retreat Looks Like

This isn’t a wellness retreat where you arrive already flexible, disciplined, or “doing the right things.”

 

And it’s definitely not a bootcamp disguised as self-care.

It’s a hosted, escorted retreat designed for women who want to feel better at the end of the week without being corrected, restricted, or watched.

Here’s what that really looks like.

  • You’re escorted from Melbourne and looked after from the moment you leave home.
    No navigating airports alone. No worrying you’ll miss something. You just show up the rest is handled.

  • Wellness here doesn’t mean giving things up. Wine, cocktails, mocktails or none of the above all sit comfortably alongside feeling well.

  • No 6 am starts and no rigid schedules.
    Days are unhurried. The only standing “appointment” is a relaxed wine time in the Regency Club in the early evening.

  • You can try things without committing to them.
    Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, stretching, aqua movement, or simply watching from a sun lounge with a book.

  • Sleep isn’t treated as optional.
    It’s encouraged. Protected. Valued. Especially if sleep hasn’t come easily for you in recent years.

  • Your room matters.
    You’ll be staying in the Regency Club section of the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin, chosen so you have a genuinely beautiful space to retreat to when you want time on your own.

  • You’re not here to look after anyone else.
    No organising. No anticipating needs. No being “on”. Just the rare pleasure of nobody wanting anything from you.

  • You won’t be side-eyed for doing things “wrong”.
    No being corrected mid-pose. No assumptions about what you should already know or be able to do.

  • Food is something to enjoy.
    Fresh Thai salads, comforting noodles, spring rolls because they look good — not because you’ve “earned” them.

  • You’ll be with women who are here for the same reason you are.
    Curious. Tired of extremes. Wanting to feel well without turning life upside down.

  • There’s plenty of downtime.
    Pool time. Reading time. Sitting quietly in beautiful gardens designed to calm your nervous system.

  • You’ll also have access to five-star facilities, The Barai spa onsite voted best in Asia-Pacific by Condé Nast Traveller.
    Three treatments are included — because indulgence can be restorative too.

  • And yes, there’s a bit of White Lotus energy.
    Just without the drama.

What's Included

Everything below is included so you can relax into the retreat experience without worrying about logistics, upgrades, or hidden extras.

Accommodation & Setting

Seven nights in the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin, Regency Club level + One night at the Hyatt Regency Bangkok Airport
You’ll be staying in the Regency Club section of the Hyatt in Hua Hin chosen for its quieter atmosphere, private spaces, private pool and elevated level of comfort.

King Bed Room, Club Access

Your room isn’t just somewhere to sleep; it’s a place to retreat to when you want time on your own. It has a balcony, desk, bath and walk-in shower.

A beautiful beachside location in Thailand without the crowds
We’ve chosen a setting that feels calm and spacious, rather than busy or overrun. It’s the kind of place where you can genuinely switch off, rather than navigate noise and chaos.

​Travel & Hosting

Escorted from Melbourne, hosted throughout

I’ll be with you from the airport in Melbourne and throughout the retreat, so once you leave home, you don’t need to manage anything on your own. For anyone who feels anxious about airports or travel logistics, this makes the whole experience feel immediately easier.

If you are travelling from elsewhere, you are welcome to meet us in Bangkok or Hua Hin.

Food & Drink

Daily breakfast, snacks, evening canapes, wine, cocktails, and mocktails in the Regency Club between 5 pm and 7 pm

Exclusive access to the Regency Club Lounge for continental breakfast, all-day refreshments, evening cocktails with snacks and canapes


Wellbeing here isn’t about cutting things out. Enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail if you’d like, or skip alcohol altogether. Everything is supported; nothing is judged.

Wellness & Activities

A flexible, opt-in wellness program
You’ll be able to try a range of gentle hotel-scheduled activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, stretching, aqua movement and more all optional. There are no compulsory sessions and no pressure to keep up.

Plenty of unstructured downtime
This retreat is deliberately not back-to-back. Pool time, reading, quiet moments in the gardens, or simply doing very little are all part of the experience.

Spa & Rest

Three spa treatments included
Enjoy three treatments at the on-site day spa, recognised by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the best in the Asia-Pacific region. This is restorative care designed to help you properly unwind.

Sleep encouraged, not sacrificed
Late mornings, no early starts, and a calm evening rhythm because real rest is a cornerstone of wellbeing, especially in midlife.

Curated Experiences

A private talk with a local Buddhist monk
A gentle, thoughtful conversation about happiness and contentment offered as an invitation, not a lecture.

Brons Book Club

I pick a book - you have an option to read it and partake in the book club when we are on-site.

Access to five-star facilities
In addition to the private Regency Club spaces and pool, you’ll have full access to the Hyatt Regency’s broader facilities, so you can enjoy the best of both quiet exclusivity and world-class amenities.

Group Experience

A small group of like-minded women
You’ll be travelling with women who are looking for the same balance you are, connection without obligation, wellness without extremes.

What’s Not Included

  • Flights to and from Thailand (I can help with that for Aussies)

  • Lunch and dinner excursions

  • Travel insurance

  • Additional spa treatments beyond the three included massages

  • Personal expenses or optional off-site activities

Dates and Pricing 

Dates

Group departs Melbourne, Australia, on 20th March 2026

This retreat runs for eight nights in total:

  • One night in Bangkok, on arrival at the Hyatt Regency Bangkok International Airport

  • Seven nights in Hua Hin, based in the Hyatt Regency Club section of the resort

​​Pricing

As we say in travel industry lingo, the price is land only.  I figure you might want to fly in from somewhere other than Melbourne.

AUD6,500 per person for a SINGLE ROOM

What’s not included:

  • International flights.  The earlier you book, the better the value - at time of 'print', the Thai Airways fare from Melbourne to Bangkok return economy class was around AUD1500 including taxes.  

  • Travel insurance.  Please note this is compulsory.

  • Additional spa treatments or personal expenses like impromptu excursions I might find when we are there at the time that sound good.

Important information about the price and availability.

I’ve been able to secure five places at this price.
Once those are taken, the retreat will still run but the price may increase as rooms become less available.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, this is the easiest moment to say yes.

​​​​​​​If you’ve read this far, you probably don’t need convincing.

You already know whether this feels like something you need or whether now isn’t quite the right time.

This retreat isn’t about fixing anything.


It’s not about becoming someone new.


And it’s not about pushing yourself through another “should.”

It’s simply time set aside in a warm, calm, thoughtfully held place — so you can rest without guilt, move without pressure, and feel more like yourself again.

If that sounds right, you’re welcome to join us.
