If you’ve ever fantasised about escaping your children, partner, inbox, washing pile and eternal dinner dilemma—all in one glorious all-inclusive swoop—Club Med might have read your mind. The premium holiday pioneers have teamed up with life coach and author Tammi Kirkness to launch a wellness retreat designed exclusively for mums who desperately need a break, but are too polite to admit it.
Enter “Mumcation”, a five-day restorative escape to the tranquil shores of Club Med Bintan Island, Singapore, running from 20 to 25 October 2025. And before anyone asks: yes, it’s adults only. And no, you don’t have to pack lunchboxes or label anything.
Finally, a Holiday Where Mum Gets a Holiday
With 75 years of experience helping weary travellers kick back with a cocktail and a conscience-free calendar, Club Med knows a thing or two about blissful getaways. But this latest offering—designed for mums, by mums—is more than a resort escape. It’s a timely lifeline.
Recent studies reveal that nearly a third of millennial mothers barely scrape together 30 minutes to themselves each day. That’s half an episode of Bluey if you’re lucky—and doesn’t include time to breathe, stretch, or scroll the internet in peace. Club Med’s answer? Take five days, throw in yoga, meditation, expert-led workshops, and not a single dish to do—and call it “Mumcation”.
Julie Voultepsis, Head of Meetings and Events at Club Med Pacific, sums it up with a nod and a knowing smile:
“Mumcation isn’t just a holiday—it’s an empowering invitation for mums to put themselves first, guilt-free, in a supportive and stunning setting.”
Tammi Kirkness Brings the Calm
At the heart of the experience is renowned life coach Tammi Kirkness, who will lead a series of thoughtfully curated workshops on emotional regulation, identity, and purpose—essentially the holy trinity for any mum running on empty and coffee.
Highlights include:
-
Awakening Self – rediscover your authentic self with inner child visualisations, reflective journaling and sunset yoga
-
Soothing the Core – gently rewire your nervous system with sound healing, mindfulness and aerial yoga (yes, that’s the one where you hang from the ceiling—think zen meets Cirque du Soleil)
-
Illuminating Purpose – reconnect with your values and goals, and craft a reintegration plan to help you take the calm home (without losing it by breakfast Monday)
And it’s not just workshops. For $1,547 AUD, guests will enjoy:
-
Three half-day workshops
-
Daily wellness activities: yoga, sound healing and guided meditation
-
A personalised 30-minute massage
-
A cocktail masterclass (because life is about balance)
-
A white night dinner under the stars
Did we mention everything else is all-inclusive? That means gourmet meals, entertainment, premium accommodation, and zero guilt for lounging by the pool with a book you’ll finish.
An All-Inclusive Invitation to Reconnect
Whether flying solo or escaping with fellow mums-in-arms, Mumcation is your chance to stop being someone’s everything and be someone for five blissful days. No alarms, no laundry, no whinging. Just silence, support, sunshine and a glass of something sparkly.
“We created Mumcation because mums deserve more than a quick nap or a rushed manicure,” says Kirkness. “This retreat is a full reset for the mind, body and spirit—and a space to be celebrated, not stretched.”
And let’s be clear: this isn’t about running away from the family (although if that’s your motivation, we’re not judging). It’s about reclaiming space for yourself, finding clarity, and returning home feeling more ‘you’ than you have in years.
Spots Are Limited—Because So Is Mum’s Time
Bookings for Mumcation are open until 19 October 2025, and limited spaces are available, so travel agents are urged to get cracking. With demand expected to soar faster than a toddler on red cordial, agents are advised to move swiftly for clients who’ve circled the date and handed Dad the kids’ school schedule.
