The Roaming Sisterhood Presents
Island + Inner Light: A Thailand Retreat for Women
Six days on a cliff above the Gulf of Thailand, where the ocean, the elephants and fourteen other women do the rest.
Talk it through first, or book your room today. Both work.
There are trips you take. And there are places that change the way you see.
This is an invitation to the second kind.
Come with us to Koh Samui, to a cliffside sanctuary tucked off the main island road, where the yoga sala hangs out over the water and the path down to the beach is yours alone.
For six nights we'll step outside the ordinary rhythm of work and responsibility, into something slower and a little wilder. Because sometimes you have to leave your usual life to remember who you are inside it.
You'll come home lighter. That's the whole promise.
You love to travel. And you're ready for more than a vacation.
Women who come to Thailand tend to want the same four things: a real reset, some actual peace, a group of women worth knowing, and a little adventure while they're at it.
This is Koh Samui beyond the postcard.
Vikasa sits between Chaweng Noi and Lamai, tucked off the main road on some of the best views the island has. The grounds run down the cliff in villages. The Lotus Pads sit beside the infinity pool and tropical gardens. The Prana Cabanas are further down, near the White Prana Sala and a private beach with white sand and meditation boulders.
Four yoga salas. A plant forward cafe with panoramic ocean views where every meal is served. A spa with open air clifftop treatment rooms. Twenty minutes from the airport, and completely apart from everything else.
Beyond the property, the island gives you jungle waterfalls, Buddhist temples, and an ethical elephant sanctuary that most women say became the day they still talk about years later.
Everything held, so you can simply arrive.

The rhythm of the days
Movement and breath in an open air sala on the cliff edge, before the day asks anything of you. All levels, always modified, nobody keeping score.
The days we leave the property are the ones that stay with you longest.
The infinity pool, the private beach, the gardens, a book in the shade. Or a spa treatment on the clifftop if that's what your body is asking for.
Dinner together above the water, then sound baths, guided practice, and the kind of conversation that only happens after a few days in the same place.
Down on Vikasa's private beach, under the stars, naming what moved and what you're carrying home.
"About 70% of the women who come arrive alone. By the second dinner, nobody is."
A few minutes inside a Roaming Sisterhood retreat
Two ways in. Neither is wrong.
Some women want to talk it through before they commit. Some already know. Pick whichever one sounds like you.
Talk it through first
Fifteen minutes to figure out which room, which payment plan, and whether this actually fits your life. It isn't a sales pitch. If it isn't the right retreat for you, I'll tell you and point you toward the one that is.
Bring your questions about flights, timing, travelling solo, any of it.
Book a Call →Reserve your room now
You don't need permission and you don't need to wait for a call. Choose your room, pay in full or start a four month plan, and you're in.
Still want to talk after? Message me any time. Booking first doesn't close that door.
See Rooms + Reserve →What guests are saying
Being in Heather's spaces feels like being on an adventure with your closest friends, even if you just met.
LoriCommitting fully was the best decision I could have made.
DeeI walked away not just with clarity, but with friendships that continue long after.

Heather Nichole
I guide women back to themselves through movement, breath, adventure, and real connection. After years leading retreats and supporting women through burnout and big life transitions, I know transformation doesn't happen when you push harder. It happens when you finally feel safe enough to let go.
My groups stay small on purpose. Never more than eighteen, and Thailand is fifteen. I want to know your name, what you came for, and what you're hoping feels different when you leave.
I'll hold the container so you don't have to hold it all.
Reserve your room at Vikasa
That's the Bestie Deal rate, when you book a twin with a friend. Solo rooms start at $3,333.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and most women do. About 70% of guests arrive solo, usually because they want to meet people rather than because they couldn't find anyone. When nobody at the table already knows your history, you get to show up as who you are now instead of who you've always been to them.
No. If you already know this is yours, go straight to the rooms and reserve. The call is there for women who want to talk through rooms, payment plans, flights or timing before committing, not a gate you have to pass through.
And booking your room doesn't mean you're on your own. Message me any time after.
Not at all. Sessions suit complete beginners through experienced practitioners, with modifications for every pose. Mats, props and towels are all provided.
Most women are between 40 and 70. We've had women in their 30s and women well into their 70s. The common thread isn't age, it's wanting peace, connection, and something of your own.
Fly into Koh Samui, airport code USM. You'll fly to Bangkok first, then take a one hour connecting flight to the island. Vikasa is a twenty minute drive from the airport and transfers are included. We guide you step by step on exactly which flights to book and how much time to leave between them.
US, UK, Australian and most European passport holders do not need a visa for a stay this length. Everyone does need to submit Thailand's digital arrival card online within 72 hours before landing. It's free, takes about ten minutes, and we'll remind you when the window opens.
Yes. You can reserve your room with your first payment and spread the rest across four automatic monthly payments, from $749.75 a month. Your remaining payments charge automatically to the same card, so there's nothing to keep track of.
Affirm and Klarna are also available at checkout if you'd like to stretch it further. Prefer something custom? Bring it up on your call and we'll work it out.
Brunch and dinner daily at the Life Cafe, Vikasa's plant forward restaurant on the cliff. Fresh, abundant, buffet style, with vegetarian and health conscious options every day. Dietary requirements are accommodated, just tell us on the guest survey.
Light and breathable. Clothes you can move in, swimwear, sandals, sneakers for the waterfall hike, and a few pieces for dinners. We send a full packing guide once you're booked.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. This protects your investment if you need to cancel last minute due to injury, illness, or an unexpected event, and you can also add "cancel for any reason" coverage for a small additional cost. Due to the nature of the retreat and the costs we incur on your behalf, we're not able to offer refunds directly.
Payment plans complete by mid December 2026. Rooms are assigned as women book, so deciding earlier means more choice, and payment plans get shorter the later you book.
Passport names are confirmed with the venue in early January. We'll go through the exact dates on your call.
