Who We Are at Soulful Escapes
At the heart of Soulful Escapes is Sandy Crooks — chef, café owner, and long-time Bali regular. With years of experience in hospitality and an insatiable curiosity for culture, Sandy brings her deep love of food, travel, and connection into every journey she curates.
Soulful Escapes isn’t about rushing through a checklist of sights. It’s about slowing down, immersing yourself in the spirit of a place, and savouring every detail — from the aromas of a bustling street market to the stillness of a sunrise over rice terraces.
Each tour is intimate by design, with no more than 10 guests. This small-group approach allows Sandy to weave in personal touches, hidden gems, and spontaneous moments that simply aren’t possible with larger groups.
But more than the places you’ll go, Soulful Escapes is about the connections you’ll make — with fellow travellers, with local hosts, and with yourself. Sandy’s warm, welcoming approach ensures every guest feels cared for, inspired, and free to truly soak up the experience.
Whether it’s your first visit to Bali or your tenth, a Soulful Escape invites you to see, taste, and feel the island in a way that lingers long after you return home.
Secret foodie finds — from tucked-away warungs and vibrant night markets to chef-led cooking classes and exclusive tastings.
Cultural immersion — artisan workshops, temple visits, storytelling, and time spent with local makers and creators.
Unforgettable luxury — boutique stays and tranquil retreats where comfort meets authenticity.
