I can 100% recommend this retreat; I took a much-needed long weekend break here and left feeling lighter than air. Lots of internal things came to the surface for me, which I half expected as the reason I went here was because I was feeling mentally stuck.
Learning new techniques to quiet my mind as well as enjoying holistic self-care in the spa and just enjoying solo pool time, I came away with so much more positivity than before I went. My love for reading a good book reignited, I discovered a passion for trying out new foods (the vegan cheese was just incredible), found solice in silence and a mental focus back on myself and my health.
