A Luxury Creative Retreat in Bali

From the moment I arrived, I knew this was something special. Nestled in the lush landscape of Ubud, our luxury private villa felt like something straight out of a high-end travel magazine—two expansive villas, each with its own pool, gym, and massage rooms, connected by a tranquil courtyard and yoga pavilion.

Every day was a new adventure, designed to push our creative limits. We chased golden hour light at black-sand beaches, captured dramatic waterfall scenes, and even took to the ocean on a catamaran for underwater videography and photography. The diversity of locations was breathtaking, making it the perfect backdrop for honing our skills.

Creative Collaboration & Skill Development

One of the most valuable parts of this retreat was the power of collaboration. It wasn’t just about taking photos or filming beautiful scenes—it was about sharing techniques, brainstorming ideas, and learning from each other.

Under the guidance of Harry Russell, an expert in videography and photography, we explored everything from composition and lighting to storytelling through visuals. Each night, we sat together reviewing our work, editing late into the evening, and inspiring one another to see the world through a new lens.

And the best part? There’s a behind-the-scenes video capturing the magic of this retreat—the friendships, the creative breakthroughs, and the unforgettable moments of pure artistic flow. (Watch it now and see what makes this retreat so special!)

Tailored Fitness for Photographers & Videographers

One unexpected but invaluable aspect of the retreat was the fitness program specifically designed for photographers and videographers.

Photography isn’t just about having an eye for a great shot—it’s physically demanding. Whether you’re crouching low, climbing over rocks, or balancing on a boat, you need strength, mobility, and endurance. That’s why our mornings started with movement and strength training led by Naim, helping us build the agility and stability needed to capture those perfect shots without injury.

Why You Should Join the Next Retreat

This was more than just a trip. I left Bali not just with new skills, but with a renewed sense of purpose, lifelong friendships, and a deeper connection to my craft.

If you’re a photographer, videographer, content creator, or UGC artist looking to take your work to the next level while travelling to some of the most breathtaking locations in the world, this TropicLust is for you.
