The most memorable journeys are often made on a smaller canvas.
A few days in the right place can be every bit as fabulous as a journey measured in weeks. Reading beneath a frangipani tree in Bali; curling up with a book by the fire in Daylesford; bare feet and sunshine in Airlie Beach. Long lunches, wonderful food, new places to discover and absolutely no need to finish the chapter before ordering another glass of wine.
Diva Read & Retreats are luxury reading retreats for women who love books, travel and beautiful places. Designed especially for women who love their own space, each small-group reading holiday combines your own room or suite, fabulous food, experiences of the destination with plenty of freedom to read, explore or simply see where the day takes you.
Read by the pool. Join a walk. Book a massage. Linger over lunch. Explore somewhere new. Or decide your book is far too good to put down and stay exactly where you are.
Every Read & Retreat comes with A Good Read — our chosen book, sent to you before you travel. There’s no formal book club and definitely no homework, but books have a habit of finding their way into conversation over dinner, beside the pool or with a glass of something lovely in hand.
And then there’s Bathrobes & Bubbles. One morning, breakfast comes with a dress code: bathrobes. We pour the champagne, bring the books and see where the conversation takes us.
Beautiful villas and houses, fabulous food, small groups and experiences worth putting the bookmark in for. The books bring us together, but it’s often the laughter, conversations and friendships around them that become part of the story.
Your retreat, your style.
These retreats are for you if…
