As the calendar flips into another year filled with work meetings, school runs, and endless to-do lists, it’s easy to forget how much we need time to just be. To breathe. To laugh. To reconnect. That’s why I’ve made it a non-negotiable: every year, there has to be at least one sisterhood getaway. And trust me — it’s medicine for the soul.

Recently, we took things to the next level. We celebrated my sister’s 50th birthday in the most unforgettable way — a luxury escape to Koh Yao Noi, a luxurious island resort in Thailand. With her bestie by her side, and our favourite cousin, we packed our bags and our loudest laughs and set off on a seven night adventure that will live in our hearts forever.

Our accommodation? Pure opulence. We stayed in a treehouse-style villa nestled in the treetops, complete with a private plunge pool that looked out over the ocean. It was all part of an incredible Luxury Escapes deal — and yes, it came with all the bells and whistles: daily breakfasts, sunset cocktails, massages and even some dinners included. It felt like something out of a dream. We spent long, lazy hours floating in the pool, sipping wine, living our best lives in what was like something out of a luxury travel magazine.

The laughter started before we even got to the island. Imagine this: the most Instagrammable couple alive stretched out at the front of the boat, all golden tans, wind-tousled hair, and casual yacht-core perfection—snapping selfies like they were on a Vogue shoot. Then there was us: the human traffic cones. Four grown adults wedged into blindingly orange life jackets three sizes too big, clinging to our seats like the sea was actively trying to murder us. We looked completely ridiculous—somewhere between overzealous girl guides and a floating fruit display—but did we take them off? Absolutely not. Safety first. Pride, distant second.

We didn’t have an itinerary, just a mission: rest, unwind, and laugh until we couldn’t breathe. And oh, did we deliver. There was sun. There was cocktails. There were in-jokes and stories that got funnier the more times we told them. One of us laughed so hard at dinner one night, she literally wet her pants. (You know who you are.) She quietly excused herself, and when she returned, she casually informed us that she had no underwear on, since she had to leave them behind in the bathroom because they were so wet.

While on Koh Yao Noi, we engaged in various activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters. Koh Yao Noi offered a harmonious blend of both, relaxation and adventure making it a perfect destination to experience the authentic charm of Thailand’s island life. There’s something incredibly powerful that happens when women come together, step away from their routines, and simply breathe together. On this trip, laughter became more than just fun—it was medicine. It was a release, a reminder, and a reconnection to joy.

In between those bursts of humor, there was space for raw, honest connection. Conversations that didn’t have to be rushed. Silence that felt comfortable. The kind of presence you only get when you’re not rushing off to the next responsibility.

But here’s the thing — it doesn’t have to be a five-star island escape. Sometimes, all you need is a change of scenery, and the people who truly get you. Because these getaways, they’re not a luxury — they’re a necessity. A chance to recharge, reconnect, and remember who you are underneath all the roles you play. Sisterhood getaways remind us that we’re not alone. They refill our emotional tanks and leave us glowing from the inside out.

Tip 1. Choose a place with minimal distractions and lots of natural beauty. Nature has a way of gently nudging us to slow down and tune in.
