Dear Jeunesse Sapphire Leaders Retreat Attendee,

Congratulations on earning your place at the upcoming, exclusive Sapphire Leaders Retreat for 2019 in Vanuatu. As one of our top leaders in the Australia/New Zealand/Fiji region, I am looking forward to giving you this chance to relax, recharge and re-energize yourself for the year ahead!

We will enjoy the weekend at the Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu, overlooking the calm waters of Erakor Lagoon, where experiences are created and memories are made. Prepare for an unforgettable Sapphire Executives leadership weekend in a unique setting, a time that promises to be full of fun, adventure, fine dining and unparalleled training!

The beautifully untouched nation of Vanuatu stretches across 1,300 km of the South Pacific Ocean and, decorated by the volcanic mountain ranges so common in the region, offers plenty of natural wonders to explore. Our weekend will include opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Vanuatu, from hiking through a rainforest to swimming under a waterfall, practising your swing at the 9-hole golf course, challenging your mates to a game of beach volleyball, climbing aboard a catamaran for a sailing adventure or snorkelling through the untouched reefs.

It’s not all about the adrenaline and adventure at Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu – this piece of paradise is also a haven for self-indulgence. Relax and unwind at the on-site day spa with a rejuvenating massage, relax on the sun loungers by the pool while sipping a cocktail from the pool bar, grab a bite from one of the on-site restaurants or enjoy a fun, themed evening meal on the beach!

You’ll also enjoy first-class leadership training and plenty of opportunities to connect with and learn from your fellow leaders.

Attire for our weekend calls for smart casual. As some activities will occur on or near the sand, we recommend flat shoes for the ladies. Vanuatu is a beautiful tropical island, after all, and we want you to feel comfortable and relaxed.

I look forward to welcoming you soon to Vanuatu for our annual Sapphire Leaders Retreat.

Rachel McVinish General Manager Australia, New Zealand and Fiji
