A limited number of cabins are released for each Novalume edition, with availability held across a small number of vessels.
Early reservation is recommended for those wishing to join this edition.
Inside the Week
What the week holds across life on board, wellbeing, dining, access, and time ashore
Novalume offers a fully tailored and seamless experience, with every element thoughtfully provided as part of the journey. Guests enjoy elegant accommodation aboard 3–4 luxury motor yachts or spacious modern catamarans, complete with professional skippers, fuel, and all on-board comforts.
Each day blends curated experiences with personal choice — from wellbeing ateliers led by expert facilitators, yoga, mindfulness and breath-work sessions, spa and wellness programs including Thalasso and Pharomatiq treatments, to sport and water activities such as cycling, tennis, kayaking, diving, and more.
The retreat also includes exclusive culinary and cultural experiences, from gourmet dinners with drinks, elegant welcome soirées, and beach club access, to private wine and olive oil tastings and immersive island exploration.
Every detail is orchestrated with care — on-board logistics, transfers, and wellness programs are seamlessly arranged — allowing guests to focus entirely on relaxation, restoration, and the joy of discovery.

Wellbeing Ateliers
Wellbeing Ateliers sit within our Wellbeing Suite and take place at our 5‑star partner venue—quiet studios, private lounges, and considered indoor–outdoor spaces that support focused work and effortless downtime.
The atmosphere is calm, contemporary, and purposefully practical. Professional facilitators are available throughout the week for informal check‑ins or unhurried, in‑depth conversations, always scheduled around your day. Some guests opt for a simple sunset conversation aboard the yacht; others prefer a slow island walk after a breath-work session.
Our faculty brings decades of practice across executive and life coaching, human potential, breath-work, meditation, and the arts—professors, occupational therapists, and multidisciplinary creatives who turn insight into clear, usable steps.
Between sessions, guests enjoy thoughtful leisure across the retreat’s amenities and curated island moments, keeping the body rested and the mind receptive.
Together, this depth of expertise, measured luxury, and access to yachting create a programme that feels spacious yet structured—restorative in pace, precise in impact—and that continues to support you long after you return home.
Professional Facilitators
A multidisciplinary faculty chosen for depth of practice, credibility, and presence
Novalume boasts a team of three exceptional professional facilitators, most with over 30 years of experience. Their impressive track record includes collaborations with highly reputable clients, companies, and organizations across their specialisations in executive coaching, life coaching, and human potential coaching.
This distinguished team is composed of esteemed professors, expert occupational therapists, and accomplished artists skilled in multiple disciplines such as breath work, meditation, and art. They are also recognized as inspirational storytellers and more. Their rich experience and diverse skills ensure that our clients receive access to a comprehensive array of assessments—academic (theoretical), psychological, and spiritual—tailored to suit individual journeys and preferences, all within the comfort of our retreat.
Single or Shared Cabins?
Reserve a cabin to yourself, or share it with someone with whom the week will mean more
Each Novalume edition is held across a small number of luxury motor yachts and spacious modern catamarans. Group size remains deliberately limited, with motor yachts accommodating up to 6 guests plus skipper, and catamarans up to 10 guests plus crew.
Guests may reserve a cabin for single use or choose shared accommodation. For those joining alone, sharing can be a natural part of the week when the pairing is right. The decision is less about occupancy than about how you want to live the week: with complete privacy, or with company that adds to it.
Across both options, the standard remains the same: elegant cabins, high levels of comfort, and the ease of being fully looked after on board. Professional crew, fuel, marina fees, quality provisioning, and onboard welcome and comfort packages are already in place.
Whether reserved privately or shared, accommodation sits within the same calm, well-held setting at sea.
Prestige Motor Yachts
Power, design, and a more elevated presence at sea
Prestige Motor Yachts bring a more defined character to the week — combining strong clean-lined design, slightly larger cabins, and the pace and profile of motor yachting. They suit guests drawn to a more private, polished way of living at sea.
Most include Master, Queen, and Twin configurations, with full layouts, photography, and vessel details available below.
Their particular appeal lies not only in comfort, but in the quality of life they create on board — more contained, more refined, and more poised throughout the week.
Bali Luxury Catamarans
Contemporary design, greater social space, and stability
Bali Luxury Catamarans combine strong contemporary design with generous indoor-outdoor living and a notably stable feel at sea. They suit guests who value openness, comfort, and a more social atmosphere on board.
Most include Master, Queen, and Twin configurations, with full layouts, photography, and vessel details available below.
Their particular appeal lies in more generous shared living space, easier flow between interior and exterior living, and a more expansive style of life on board.
