Our story

At its heart, Sorelle is about sisterhood.

We created Sorelle gatherings because we couldn’t find the kind of experience we were looking for ourselves. Something beautiful but relaxed. Thoughtfully planned, but never rigid. A space where women could move their bodies, spend time in nature, be creative, share good meals and connect with like-minded people without feeling like they had to be anyone other than themselves.

Over the years, we’ve built our lives around creating experiences for others through hospitality, photography, movement and community. Sorelle brings all of those things together in one place.

The name Sorelle means sisters, and that feeling sits at the centre of everything we do.

This retreat isn’t about transformation, fixing yourself or becoming someone new. It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down for a week, to move, surf, create, rest, laugh, meet incredible women and remember what life feels like when there’s a little more space in it.

Whether you arrive solo or with a friend, our hope is that you leave feeling refreshed, inspired and connected to a community of women you’ll continue to cheer on long after the retreat ends.

The heart behind Sorelle - Charlotte and Hanah, creating space for women’s connection, movement and slow living in Sri Lanka.

Sorelle means sisters.

Not by blood, but by the people we meet, the experiences we share and the communities we create a long the way.
