Are queer travelers about to find their way to a real-life "White Lotus" experience in Bali? Maybe so, if out soccer star Josh Cavallo's luxurious getaway is everything it sounds like it will be.

The 25-year-old Australian midfielder took to Instagram to give fans and LGBTQ+ adventurers a glimpse of things to come.


"IT'S HAPPENING!" Cavallo captioned a photo of himself lying on top of a pile of blueprints. "I'M BUILDING A HOTEL @Cavallohideaway 🏩🌴".

"I still can't believe it's COMING TO LIFE!" the pro player went on to add. "I can't wait to take you along on this incredible journey, from blueprints to keys. It's a place I wanted to create for people travelling to feel safe."

"Presenting @CAVALLOHIDEAWAY, a community where everyone belongs 🤍".


The soccer star continued his announcement at the Instagram account for the property, posting a series of images envisioning what the resort will look like when completed, with elegant spaces, organically curving rooftops, floor-to-ceiling panes of glass, and private pools and patios.

"The property is designed as a tranquil and inclusive retreat, blending contemporary stone architecture with Balinese natural charm," Cavallo explained. "The design emphasizes bamboo structures, earthy tones, and open spaces to create a serene and luxurious atmosphere where judgment is absent, and every guest can truly feel free to be themselves. 🌴🤍".

The property's Insta account identified the locale as "Canggu, Bali, Indonesia." The village, situated on Bali's southwest coast, is known for its six-mile-long beach. In recent years, the locale has become a top destination in Bali.
