NXT STOP: Bali is a six-night creative and cultural retreat designed for curious travelers who want to experience Bali beyond the typical vacation.
Hosted by E. Mackey, this intimate experience brings together a small group of travelers for culture, adventure, creativity, community, and unforgettable shared experiences across Bali.
From April 24–30, 2027, just 15 travelers will experience a thoughtfully curated journey that balances exploration and adventure with opportunities to connect, create, and simply enjoy being in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Bali, Indonesia | April 24–30, 2027 | 15 spots
From April 24–30, 2027, we’ll experience Bali through culture, adventure, creativity, and connection. This experience was designed to go beyond simply visiting a destination. We’ll explore together, connect with the people and culture of Bali, create along the way, and make some incredible memories.
I’m excited to have you join me for the very first NXT STOP.
Explore. Connect. Create.
