🌿 The Art of Living Well™

Luxury Bali Design Retreat — Seminyak, Ubud & North Bali

A luxury design retreat in Bali exploring interiors, sourcing, and artisan craftsmanship.

Spaces shape how we feel.
I’ve spent 25 years shaping them with intention.

About Isabelle

I’ve lived and worked in Bali for over 25 years, creating spaces from concept to completion — villas, boutique hospitality, retail interiors, and renovations in Los Angeles and Hawaii.

For more than two decades, I owned and operated Villa Karisa in Seminyak — not just a hotel, but a place of connection where guests often became friends.

It was through these relationships — often in conversations by the pool — that something unexpected happened. Guests began asking for help: sourcing furniture, refining ideas, and shaping their own spaces. What started naturally evolved into creative collaborations.

Today, I continue this work through ongoing projects, including a new 3-villa compound in Uluwatu — which may become part of a future retreat.

I also curate and ship furniture, art, and handcrafted pieces from Bali to homes around the world.

What has always mattered most to me is how a space feels — because when it’s calm, intentional, and aligned, everything shifts.

What to Expect

Many women feel called to Bali — to source furniture, discover textiles, and connect with artisans.

But once here, it can feel overwhelming — the language, the process, not knowing where to begin.

This Bali design retreat changes that.

I open doors quietly and intentionally — giving you access and a clear sense of direction.

And just as importantly, you’ll be surrounded by women who share your aesthetic, your curiosity, and your way of seeing the world — people on your same vibe, in an intimate group.

Over eight days, we explore beautiful places, curated shops, and galleries — while taking part in hands-on workshops designed to refine your eye and bring your ideas to life.

You’ll stay in beautiful places that let you dream a little — as if they could one day be your own — while slowly training your eye to notice the layers, the details, and what makes an interior truly work.

We visit independent boutiques, furniture makers, textile houses, painters, and hidden artisan workshops — experiencing how pieces are made and how materials are layered, in a relaxed, refined rhythm.

Beyond design, you’ll experience the depth of Balinese culture — its rituals, craftsmanship, and quiet spirituality that shape the way spaces are created here.

Each day includes gentle movement — yoga, beach walks, sound healing, and breathwork — allowing the body to soften and the mind to clear.

Midway through the journey, we travel to Ubud for hands-on design sessions, then continue north into Bali’s countryside — staying among rice paddies and visiting artisans whose work reflects generations of heritage.

There is also time for traditional Balinese massage and body treatments — because restoration and beauty are deeply connected.

Somewhere along the way, it all clicks — the people, the energy, the conversations.

You leave not only inspired, but clearer — about what you love, what belongs, and how you want your space to feel.
