I’ve been seriously craving a retreat somewhere warm, quiet and peaceful lately. And from your comments on the Mykonos post, I think you are too. While quickly becoming reacquainted with my seasonal affective disorder, I have been searching the interwebs for torturous images of magnificent resorts. Very healthy behavior, I know. In my most recent search (keyword:”luxury yoga retreats”) I came across the COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali and it looks to be just about a close to blissful perfection as can be possible. It’s a residential holistic health retreat that caters to your every whim while managing to look stylish and zen:
Then I clicked on their other property, Cocoa Beach in the Maldives, and just about had a stroke. This resort follows the same wellness approach but on the beach. The rooms are strikingly simple and soothing, something you can use as inspiration for your own home in order to make it feel more calming, perhaps? Either way, these destinations are calling my name. LOUDLY.
see you there!
Simply beautiful…when are we leaving?!
Namaste,
Jaime
We should plan a bloggers get away;)
Best,
Jaime
OMFG
Can you fish on the Pier??

That’s it – I need to take up yoga.
I think every morning, with chill in my bones, “if only I could be somewhere warm and peacefull”. Love this post. Started by day off right. Thanks for sharing.

This looks amazing. When I was at boarding school in Connecticut I used to just sit in front of a special light box meant to helps with the SADs and weep, How did I find myself here?? I want to go back to Houston where it is warm and sunnnnnyyyyy. Needless to say I hightailed it back down south as fast as my little legs would carry me. Now I find myself living in Chicago, am I a knut with a capital K! Get me to a beach STAT!
I just forwarded this to dave as my dream honeymoon (someday).
I want to be there right now so bad I could cry.
Thank you for posting so many lovely escapes lately!!
OMG the resort in the Maldives is calling my name. It looks amazing!
We are on the same wavelength–time to get out of Boston and into the warm sunshine! Yesterday I started planning my February “get the hell out of here” trip and this is amazing inspiration.
Those beds look so comfy! I’m also craving a getaway but things have been so hectic lately I’m not sure if we’ll get the chance. :(
Oh my gosh. I just wish I could teleport myself there. It’s glorious. Forget the yoga, I just want to laze around in that fabulous bathtub!
Thanks for the mini vacay, Erin! I needed that. :)
Love the Bali and Maldives resorts, thanks for sharing….
