April's 40th
Birthday

Bali  |  22 – 26 March 2027

RSVP by 1 November 2026

My Inspiration

What to expect

This is a birthday celebration designed around the things I love: training hard, recovering well, eating beautifully and experiencing culture with my favourite people. That's why I've curated my dream luxury active-wellness escape in Bali, where movement, recovery, incredible food and my Indonesian roots come together.

Set between my two worlds of Munich and Sydney, this is my once-in-a-lifetime chance to celebrate the big 4-0 in an unforgettable few days of fitness, wellness, adventure and friendship. I would be honoured to have you join me.

Where we will stay

Bingin, Uluwatu sits on Bali's Bukit Peninsula, about 90 minutes' drive south of Denpasar Airport, between Dreamland and Padang Padang. It's known globally for its surf break.

Reserved for a very intimate party is Lyvin Bingin Villas, my dream-come-true designer residence, positioned right among most of the activities on days 1–3. Bingin is special to me: it was home during my solo trips in 2024 and 2025, as I went deeper into my obsession with boxing and Hyrox.

F.A.Q.

Do I need a visa to enter Bali?

Yes, depending on your nationality. For most guests the Indonesian electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) will apply. The current fee is IDR 500,000 (approximately €25–30 / A$45–50) and isn't included in the budget estimate. Apply through the official website: evisa.imigrasi.go.id

Do I have to stay for the entire trip?

The full experience runs from 22 to 26 March, but you're welcome to join for part of the stay if your schedule doesn't allow the full trip. I do ask that you're checked in for at least the main birthday events, from 22 to 24 March. Let me know your exact arrival and departure dates when you RSVP so I can plan accommodation and logistics.

What's included in the trip?

I recognise this is a significant time and financial commitment, which is why I've deducted my 20% deposit with the villa from your costs and the group dinners on days 1, 2 and 3 are all on me. My gift to you is also the boxing padwork class and a photoshoot (trust me, you'll thank yourself for this one). You'll only need to cover your flights, accommodation, visa, personal spending, shopping, food and drinks, and any other experiences such as the Bambu group classes or wellness treatments.

What will the days actually be like?

Think structured mornings, unstructured afternoons and beautiful evenings together. There's a small number of curated group experiences, including meditation, training, boxing and wellness, with plenty of free time built into every day to explore Bali independently or simply relax.
