Meet the
retreat leader
Carol van der Poel
Meet Carol van der Poel – in 2013 and at the peak of a successful corporate career, Carol decided that the life she had worked so hard to achieve, wasn’t ticking all the boxes.
Carol embarked on a goal-setting workshop that was supposed to launch her and the business she was running, to greater heights. What it did was enable her to peel back the layers and identify what her dream life really looked like. You guessed it – that dream life was not the one she was living, but it IS the one she enjoys today.
Motivated by her own experience, Carol has since developed a toolkit and coaching program designed to empower women, like you, to create positive and lasting changes in their lives. With a diverse background, Carol brings a wealth of knowledge and a down-to-earth approach to her work. Prior to embracing a tropical island life in Asia, she worked as a business growth consultant, assisting clients throughout Australia and Southeast Asia.
Today, Carol embodies the spirit of embracing life’s simple pleasures. A self-proclaimed foodie and believer in the power of kindness, she radiates warmth and empathy. During the retreat, Carol’s singular mission is to help you craft a personalized plan to turn your dreams into reality. Prepare to be gently challenged, guided, and awakened as Carol encourages your personal growth in a safe and uplifting environment. Her genuine care and natural coaching style will empower you to embrace a life filled with joy, excitement, and fulfilment.
Bev Blakemore
As you start designing and creating your best life, you may find yourself questioning your own beliefs, evaluating blocks that are preventing you from moving forward, or needing extra care and support.
This is where you’ll have the opportunity to do individual work with Bev.
Bev Blakemore has a degree in psychology (honours), is a counsellor and hypnotherapist, and has been working as an energetic therapist for 17 years with clients to heal their mind, body and spirit. Bev has also had her own recovery journey through grief, trauma and PTSD.
Her own experiences and professional expertise culminate in Bev being an extraordinary support for women who are seeking transformational change.
During your sessions with Bev, you won’t be going back to traumatic events. Instead, she will work with you to invite and embrace your younger selves, that may have gotten stuck in a moment, and gently bring them back to join you at the retreat as a new version of wisdom and strength.
If there is grief with a departed loved one, there will be an opportunity to share time with them, and replace the pain with the divine love they are wanting to share with you. You can find out more about Bev at bevblakemore.com.

Bring a friend, or come alone
Get ready to pack your bags and join us at the retreat, whether you bring a fabulous friend or decide to embark on this adventure solo. Don’t worry, you won’t be the odd one out if you choose to travel alone – it’s actually very common for retreat participants to embark on this kind of change flying solo.
Picture this: a week filled with endless possibilities, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences that will create lifelong connections and new friendships. You’ll be surrounded by like-minded women who are all on a journey of self-discovery just like you. Who knows, you might even find your new partner-in-crime for future escapades!
Now, if you decide to bring a friend along for the ride, get ready to double the fun and save a few pennies. Sharing a room with your buddy will not only make your retreat even more memorable, but it’ll also lighten the load on your wallet. It’s a win-win situation!
Your Accommodation
Get ready for a unique and delightful accommodation experience! If you choose the 2-bedroom Penthouse, we want to let you in on a little secret: you’ll have the chance to connect and create special memories with fellow retreat participants who will be occupying the other bedroom. Imagine sharing stories, laughter, and inspiring conversations in the spacious living area and on the balcony.
If you prefer more private space without any shared areas, we recommend choosing the One Bedroom Ocean View Suite. It’s a haven of tranquillity where you can immerse yourself in complete solitude when needed.
One Bedroom Ocean View Suites
The resort has five of these – two of these lend themselves better to twin share, and the other three are perfect for single guests who value their own space and privacy.
All suites include a living/dining room plus a spacious pa1o with a day bed and outdoor dining table, so there’s lots of space for guests who choose to share. The suites are approximately 950 square feet.
Two Bedroom Luxury Penthouses
There are three of these – each penthouse occupies the second and third levels of a beach house. There is a large master bedroom on the uppermost level, with stunning views through the gardens to the ocean. A dedicated bathroom for the master bedroom is also located on this level.
These bedrooms are large, and are well suited to twin share rooms – room sizes range from 240-300 square feet.
The smaller bedroom is perfect for a single person – it is located on the first level of the penthouse behind the living area and has its own ensuite and closet. These bedrooms are 150 square feet in size.
Two Bedroom Deluxe Penthouse
This is the largest accommodation at Salaya and there is just one Deluxe Penthouse. It’s located on one level, overlooking the pool and ocean, and is an incredible 2060 square feet in area! The Deluxe Penthouse has a very large living area and an equally large balcony.
The master suite comprises a bedroom of 185 square feet plus a large walk-in closet and a very large ensuite bathroom.
The master suite is perfect for a twin-share arrangement.
The second bedroom is 150 square feet in area, including a closet, and has an adjacent ensuite bathroom. This room is best suited to a single or couple.
Bedding Arrangements
Twin-share rooms are configured with two single beds – unless you’re a couple and would like to have a king bed arrangement (just let us know when you book).
All single rooms are set up with an oversized king bed.
