Escape Haven, Bali's most-awarded luxury women's retreat and wellness brand, is redefining how women experience menopause through its pioneering Menopause Retreat, the first of its kind in Bali, created to support, empower and transform women during this pivotal life stage.

Developed in response to years of candid conversations with guests, the Menopause Retreat was created to address the significant physical, emotional and hormonal changes women experience in their 40s and 50s - a phase of life that remains widely misunderstood and under-supported.

Unlike generic wellness offerings, Escape Haven's approach to menopause is highly personalised. Each guest begins with a comprehensive pre-retreat health questionnaire and diagnostics, allowing programs to be tailored on a one-to-one basis rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Escape Haven founder and respected wellness entrepreneur Janine Cottle says the retreat was born from a clear gap in both education and care.

“Menopause came up again and again in conversations on retreat,” says Cottle. “Women were confused, overwhelmed and often starved for clear, reliable information. There's an enormous amount of noise around menopause, and it was still treated as a taboo subject. We wanted to change that and create a space where women feel informed, supported and understood.”

Cottle says the retreat setting is a powerful part of the healing process.

“We know from our other programs how transformative it can be when women come together around shared experiences. Menopause doesn't need to be navigated alone, and there is real comfort and empowerment in community.”

A Holistic Focus on Body, Mind and Soul

The Menopause Retreat is structured around three core pillars - body, mind and soul, reflecting Escape Haven's holistic philosophy.

For the Body, guests focus on comprehensive diagnostics and a movement program designed to protect bone density, maintain muscle mass and support hormonal health. Functional fitness and Pilates are paired with Body Scan consultations, while chef-prepared cuisine is designed to reduce inflammation, stabilise energy and support overall wellbeing.

For the Mind, the retreat fosters a strong sense of connection and reassurance. Guests are supported through expert-led wellness workshops that focus on lifestyle interventions, education and practical tools women can take home with them, reinforcing that menopause is a natural transition, not a failure of health.

For the Soul, restorative practices such as yin yoga, meditation, breathwork and mindfulness help guests reconnect with a sense of calm, balance and self-trust during a time of change.

Science-Backed Care and Restorative Treatments

The retreat experience also includes diagnostic testing, specialised body treatments to ease joint pain, inflammation and hot flushes, collagen-boosting facials, and biohacking therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and red light therapy. Guests enjoy daily luxury spa treatments, contrast therapy, restorative yoga and meditation, and cultural experiences including a traditional Balinese blessing ceremony.

Nestled by a river in the heart of Canggu and close to the beach, Escape Haven provides a tranquil, supportive environment where women can step away from daily pressures and focus fully on their health and wellbeing.

Through its Menopause Retreat, Escape Haven continues to position itself not only as a luxury wellness destination, but as a leader in education, advocacy and preventative care for women navigating midlife and beyond.
