For mums who are tired of carrying it all

If you’re the one who remembers every appointment, school note and detail at home and at work, this retreat was built for you.

For mums who do the planning and emotional labour for everyone else.
Five days without guilt, decision fatigue or “always on” mode.
Surrounded by mums who live the same reality and are ready to exhale too.

If leaving your kids behind is the only thing stopping you, there are options for them to enjoy the resort while you focus on your own reset.

Why Club Med Kani is ideal for a mumcation

Club Med Kani is a private island resort in the Maldives, with white sand beaches, and everything within a short walk.

Perfect for mums because:

Short speedboat transfer from Malé (about 25 minutes).
Rooms, restaurants, bar, pool, spa and activities all on one island.
Snorkelling, paddle boarding, yoga, fitness classes and evening shows, plus quiet corners to nap or read.

What last year’s mums brought home from Indonesia

Deborah James

"Wonderful time away learning about wellness, meditation and how to reclaim direction in my life, enhanced by beautiful surroundings, amazing food and wonderful people!

Definitely advise this experience!"

Michelle Bakhos

"Mumcation is exactly what a busy woman needs when she is craving time out. It’s a wellness break with a twist: a couple of hours each day with a wonderful facilitator (Tammi), and the rest of the day to relax at the beach or get fit with a never‑ending list of activities, from yoga to trapeze, paddling, and snorkelling. The daily ritual helps structure the day with meaningful reflection before the distractions of activities and parties— all voluntary, of course, which takes the pressure off."

Kate Garvey

"Returned from the mumcation held at Club Med Bintan, Indonesia, it was truly life changing.
It wasn’t just a holiday, it was a reset for the mind and soul.

I came home feeling relaxed, enlightened, and with a renewed sense of purpose."

Nel Home

"Did not expect to learn so much about myself, my goals, expectations, and priorities as part of the trip. It was also full of laughter and fun!"

Workshops designed for the mental load

Mumcation includes three half day workshops led by Australian wellness coach and author Tammi Kirkness, specialising in nervous system regulation and the mental load of modern motherhood.
You’ll explore:

Why your brain never switches off and what the “mental load” really is.
Guilt free rest, boundaries and saying yes to yourself.
Practical tools to bring home so change lasts beyond the retreat.

A community of mums who get it

Mumcation is intentionally mums only, so you’re surrounded by women who understand mental load, decision fatigue and burnout.

Shared meals and optional circles, plus plenty of solo time.
Space where you’re not the organiser or default parent.
New connections with Australian mums who can stay in touch after the retreat.

Practical details for Australian mums

To reach Mumcation at Club Med Kani, you fly from your nearest Australian airport (for example Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide) to Malé, usually via a major hub such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai or Doha.
From Malé, your package includes a speedboat transfer of around 25 minutes to Club Med Kani.

November in the Maldives is warm and tropical, ideal for swimming and beach time.
