If you love fabric, creativity, and meeting like-minded women, there’s nothing quite like joining a textile retreat in a place as inspiring as Bali or Java. At Wacky Jacky’s, we feel it’s important to find a retreat that’s both enriching and accessible, especially if you’re travelling on your own. That’s why our textile retreats 2026 are designed to make solo travel easy, affordable, and full of genuine connection.
Why Join Textile Retreats 2026 with Wacky Jacky’s?

Experience the Best of Bali with Textile Art Retreats
Our textile art retreats are based in Candidasa, a peaceful seaside village on Bali’s north-east coast. It’s the perfect setting for creativity, with friendly locals, ocean view, and a relaxed pace of life. You’ll stay in seafront accommodation, enjoy daily breakfasts, and have easy access to local restaurants and shops.
One of the highlights of our textile retreats Bali & Java is the chance to create your own Batik panel.
Guided by our Bali Batik Guru, you’ll learn traditional techniques and go home with a unique piece of art. There are also classes in basket weaving, optional Batik painting days, and even Balinese cooking classes for those who want to try something new.

Affordable Bali Retreats for Solo Travellers
We know that often solo travel can be expensive, so our affordable Bali retreats for solo travellers are designed to offer great value. We keep costs transparent and include as much as possible in your package, so you can focus on enjoying your time rather than worrying about extras. You’ll only need to organise your own flights to Bali and transfer from the airport to your hotel in Sanur; we’ll handle the rest.
Our retreats are flexible, so you can choose how much or how little you want to do each day. Whether you’re keen to fill your days with workshops or prefer to take things slow, you’ll have the freedom to create the experience that suits you best.
Textile Retreats 2026: More Than Just a Holiday
Joining our textile retreat is about more than learning new techniques or making beautiful things. It’s about stepping out of your everyday routine, meeting inspiring women, and discovering the magic of Bali and Java. Many of our guests return year after year, drawn by the friendships they’ve made and the sense of community that grows with every retreat.
Our textile art retreats are perfect for solo travellers who want to feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. You’ll leave with new skills, treasured memories, and perhaps a fresh excitement about what you can create.
