Caroline Stanbury, known for her appearances on reality television, is launching a new venture offering luxury wellness retreats on a private island in the Maldives. The four-day escapes, named Stanbury Retreats, are designed for women seeking personal growth and fulfillment.
Applications for the retreats are now open, requiring a $5,000 deposit before prospective attendees can be approved. The program includes group coaching in "transformational conversations" and curated wellness and personal growth experiences. Stanbury described the retreats as an "investment in your future," aiming to inspire participants to make their "next chapter" their best.
Stanbury, who has an estimated net worth of $30 million, resides in Dubai with her husband. While the full price of the retreat has not been disclosed, the substantial deposit suggests it is aimed at individuals with a more affluent mindset. She has spoken about the concept of "broke" mindsets, differentiating between friends from various financial backgrounds and those who are "content-broke" or "pity-broke," suggesting that individuals who do not envision personal advancement can be a mental drain.
