Club Med has launched a new wellness retreat specifically designed for mothers, responding to growing demand for self-care escapes among Australian mums.
Held from 20 to 25 October 2025 at Club Med Bintan, the ‘Mumcation’ package is a five-day, expert-led program developed in partnership with life coach and author Tammi Kirkness. Combining Club Med’s all-inclusive model with a curated wellness itinerary, the retreat focuses on helping women reconnect with themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.
What is Club Med Mumcation?
The Mumcation concept was created in response to research showing how little personal time is available to many primary carers, particularly women. According to a 2025 survey cited by Club Med, nearly a third of millennial women report having less than 30 minutes to themselves each day.
With this in mind, the retreat has been structured to offer a complete break from routine. It blends signature Club Med amenities, such as gourmet dining, activities, entertainment, and premium accommodation, with daily wellness sessions and specialised workshops.
Participants will stay five nights at Club Med Bintan in Indonesia, with the package priced at $1,547. Bookings are open now and close 19 October 2025.
What’s included in the retreat?
Beyond the standard all-inclusive resort offering, Mumcation includes the following components:
- Three half-day workshops led by Tammi Kirkness
- Daily wellness activities such as yoga, sound healing, and guided meditation
- A 30-minute customised massage
- Special events including a cocktail masterclass and themed dinner
Kirkness will deliver three sessions designed around the themes of identity, emotional regulation, and life purpose:
Awakening Self: Identity & Inner Kindness This session uses reflective journaling, inner child visualisation, and sunset yoga to encourage participants to explore their authentic selves.
Soothing the Core: Nervous System & Emotional Regulation Focused on managing stress responses, this workshop includes mindfulness practices, approachable healing tools, and aerial yoga.
Illuminating Purpose: Clarity & Values Participants will engage with a values-based framework and holistic goal-setting exercises, creating a reintegration plan for life post-retreat.
Why Club Med for this retreat?
Julie Voultepsis, Head of Meetings and Events at Club Med Pacific, said the concept was about providing a structured space for women to pause.
“At Club Med, we understand the daily juggle that so many women face, which is why we’re proud to partner with Tammi Kirkness to offer something truly meaningful – a guilt-free escape designed just for them,” Voultepsis said.
“Mumcation isn’t just a holiday; it’s an empowering invitation for women to put themselves first in a beautiful, supportive setting.”
She added that the retreat is suitable for solo travellers or small groups of friends seeking a shared wellbeing experience.
The Mumcation package is available to book through the Club Med Meetings and Events team. With limited places available, travel agents are advised to secure spots early to avoid missing out.
