For women who find joy in fabric, creativity, and friendship, there’s nothing quite like a getaway designed around your passions. At Wacky Jacky’s, we know how powerful it is when women come together to sew, share, and explore. That’s why our Bali quilting retreat 2026 is about so much more than just making quilts. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and experience Bali in a way that’s warm, welcoming, and deeply creative.
Why Choose a Bali Quilting Retreat 2026?
The Bali quilting retreat 2026 is now in its 15th season, and there’s a good reason so many women return year after year. We’ve created a retreat that combines the best of Bali’s scenery, culture, and hospitality with the energy and excitement of a true creative community. You’ll stay in a seafront resort in Candidasa, a peaceful village on Bali’s north-east coast, where the local people are as friendly as the ocean breeze.
Our textile retreat Bali is all about flexibility. Whether you want to spend your days sewing in our air-conditioned studio, exploring markets, or simply relaxing with new friends, you’ll find the perfect balance of structure and freedom. Jacky, our founder and host, has over 30 years’ experience travelling Bali and over 20 years as a quilter. Her knowledge of local customs, hidden gems, and the best Batik finds make this retreat truly special.
What’s Included in Our Textile Retreat Bali?
We’ve thought of every detail to make your textile retreat Bali effortless and inspiring. You’ll enjoy seafront accommodation, daily breakfasts, and easy transfers from your hotel to the airport on your last day. Each retreat package includes a “Create Your Own Batik Panel” class, guided by our Bali Batik Guru. You’ll also have the chance to try basket weaving around the pool, join a day trip to make your own Batik fabric, and browse the local haberdashery stores for treasures.
The Bali retreat packages are designed to let you experience the best of Bali at your own pace. Want to dive deeper into fabric arts? Try optional days of Batik painting, Balinese cooking, or an Indigo Batik Day. Prefer to relax? Take a stroll through Candidasa’s local shops, enjoy a massage, or sip cocktails overlooking the sea.
Women’s Creative Retreat Bali: A Space for Friendship and Growth
There’s something magical about being part of a women’s creative retreat Bali. You’ll meet women from all over Australia and beyond, each bringing their own stories, skills, and creative energy. The friendships formed here are as lasting as the quilts you’ll make together.
Our studio is a hub of activity. Some afternoons are filled with laughter, while others are marked by quiet focus as everyone works on their projects. Whether you’re an experienced quilter or only just starting out, you’ll find encouragement and inspiration. We believe creativity thrives in a supportive environment, and our team is always on hand to help with advice, ideas, or just a friendly chat.
Discover Beautiful Batik Fabrics and Local Treasures
Bali is world-famous for its Batik, and our retreat gives you unique access to the beautiful Batik fabrics that make the island’s textile traditions so vibrant. You’ll have VIP access to Wacky Jacky’s Bali Batik Store, where you can shop for exclusive designs and enjoy special discounts as part of your retreat package.
Our day trips take you behind the scenes to see how Batik is made, from choosing colours and patterns to watching skilled artisans at work. You’ll even have the chance to purchase Batik directly from local factories, perfect for adding something truly special to your stash. These beautiful Batik fabrics are more than just souvenirs; they’re reminders of your creative journey and the friends you’ve made along the way.
Flexible Bali Retreat Packages for Every Traveller
No two women are the same, and our Bali retreat packages reflect that. We offer a range of activities so you can mould your experience to suit your interests. Want to focus on quilting? Spend your days in the studio, learning new techniques and sharing ideas. Looking for adventure? Join a cultural day exploring Bali’s North East, or sign up for an Amed Experience snorkelling trip.
Our women’s creative retreat Bali is about you having the freedom to create your own perfect getaway. From hands-on workshops to quiet moments by the sea, every day offers something new. You’ll leave with new skills, new friends, and a fresh perspective on what it means to be part of a creative community.
More Than a Holiday: A Creative Journey
