International Retreats
In the previous blog I took a closer look at some of the fantastic retreats the UK has to offer – this time I’m turning the spotlight on retreats that are a little further afield. Which one will convince you to dig out your passport and book a space?!
In this transformative woman’s retreat, you get the opportunity to strengthen the connection to your body, your essence, and to yourself as a female. The ultimate aim is to enable you to ‘manifest a life full of wellbeing, gratitude, and love.’
The retreat involves seven 7 days of practice and workshops, with optional daily yoga and meditation. You also get the opportunity to visit the archaeological site of Delos. It includes accommodation and full catering, allowing you to focus on working on yourself in the glorious setting of Paros Island, South Aegean.
If you fancy something a little more far flung, Navutu Dreams Resort & Wellness Retreat may be for you. This luxurious Wellness Hotel & Resort in Siem Reap Cambodia is close to the magical temples of Angkor Wat and offers twenty-eight rooms and luxurious suites situated in lush gardens full of palm trees, bougainvillea and fragrant flowers.
The resort offers the chance to fully relax and enjoy time to yourself in a beautiful environment. You can spend time there alone or take your family to this child-friendly resort. If yoga is your thing, they also offer tailored yoga packages, which include group yoga classes, private yoga sessions, organic food and drink and a pampering spa treatment. Blissful!
Continuing the tropical theme, how about a jungle wellness retreat?! Nestled in the heart of the Payangan rainforest on the mystical Ayung River, Nandini Jungle Resort and Spa lets you ‘reconnect with nature, rekindle your spirit and reignite your soul in this serene nature haven.’ There are yoga classes, cookery classes, a tranquil spa…all the right ingredients for a blissful and restorative break from the daily grind.
In the heart of stunning Tuscany just 23km from Siena lies Castel Monastero, a beautifully restored medieval village and monastery, the setting for a luxurious and refined Tuscan retreat. At this beautiful venue you are encouraged to fully immerse yourself in calm and wellness, spending time in the beautiful gardens, relaxing in the spa or enjoying an energising yoga session.
At the heart of this luxury venue is the amazing "Aquae Monasteri" course with its high saline density sea oil pool, ‘designed exclusively for the spa by the medical team of Thalasso del Forte, the spa at Forte Village, a World's Leading Resort since 1998’. With water at the root of life, immersing yourself in it is an opportunity to benefit from its calming and healing properties.
I’d love to hear from you if you’re inspired to book any of these!
