In our guests’ words
“What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday evening. From the moment we walked in, we were completely taken care of. Everything had been thoughtfully prepared, delicious protein balls, herbal teas, relaxing tonics, and all the yoga mats and bolsters laid out ready for us overlooking the beach as we waited for the sunset.
“What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday evening. From the moment we walked in, we were completely taken care of. Everything had been thoughtfully prepared, delicious protein balls, herbal teas, relaxing tonics, and all the yoga mats and bolsters laid out ready for us overlooking the beach as we waited for the sunset. The evening began with breathwork, which helped me slow down, focus, and reconnect with myself. This flowed into a beautiful yoga reset, followed by an informative nutrition session on the Mediterranean way of eating and its benefits for health and wellbeing. Throughout the evening, we were nurtured with more delicious snacks and a gorgeous Mediterranean bowl of chickpeas and quinoa for dinner. The whole experience felt calming, restorative, and incredibly nourishing. I left feeling relaxed, grounded, and completely cared for. A truly special evening that I would highly recommend to anyone needing a little reset and some time to refill their cup. 💗”

Can I change my transfer details later?
Yes, where possible. Please contact us as soon as your flight details change so we can adjust your transfer arrangements.
Do I need to be experienced with yoga, meditation, or fitness? Am I fit enough to attend a retreat?
You do not need any experience in these activities, our retreats are bespoke and will be personalised to you and your level of fitness. If you want to participate fully in all aspects of the retreat i.e the hiking, then we do recommend a moderate level of fitness.
However, the hikes can always be shortened, and activities swapped out for time spent relaxing at the private beach, on the deck or in the bath.
It is not compulsory to partake in anything so if you wish to opt out on any activity you don't feel comfortable with you are very welcome to do so!
What kind of food is provided, and can dietary requirements be accommodated?
The meals we provide are plant-forward and Mediterranean-inspired. We aim to use local, seasonal and organic produce in our meals where possible.
Dietary requirements will of course be catered for whether you are gluten-free, dairy-free, or have allergies. Please note your dietary requirements will need to be given in your ‘pre-retreat’ health screening form at least 2 weeks prior to you commencing on a retreat with us!
Are children allowed?
Unfortunately we are not able to cater for children under the age of 16 years old.
