our signature escape

For those who chase sunsets, collect moments, and breathe deeper by the sea.

This isn't your average yoga retreat.
This is for the ones who breathe deeper barefoot with toes in the sand.
For those who crave sunrises that fill with gratitude, salt in their hair, and soul-stretching movement.
For the ocean-lovers, the wellness seekers, the ones who know that sometimes the deepest reset doesn’t come in silence — it comes in salt air and sunshine.

take a deep exhale…

Let the waves carry what no longer belongs.

In this 8-day, 7-night island escape, you’re invited to completely switch off and drop into a slower, more soul-led rhythm — one that’s entirely your own. Move when it feels good, rest when you need, and rediscover the joy of simply being. You’ll be surrounded by like minded souls — those who are done with the hustle and hungry for something deeper: presence, connection, and breath. This is a space where wellness isn’t curated — it’s embodied.

And where the ocean does what she does best: gently, powerfully, return you to yourself.

As Seen in Paradise: Delta Goodrem’s Maldives yoga experience with us

 
 

Life-Changing Experience!

This retreat was everything I hoped for and more! Waking up to the sound of the ocean, practicing yoga on the deck, and experiencing the serenity of the Maldives was absolutely magical. The ice baths were invigorating, the spa treatments were pure bliss, and every detail was so thoughtfully planned. I left feeling refreshed, realigned, and completely renewed. I can’t wait to come back!"
Sophie L.


Paradise for the Soul

From the moment I arrived, I felt an instant sense of calm and connection. The yoga, breathwork, and meditation sessions were deeply grounding, and the combination of adventure and relaxation was just perfect. Snorkeling in the turquoise waters, enjoying world-class spa treatments, and unwinding in paradise—it was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a true escape!"
James R.


Best Decision I Ever Made!

I was hesitant about taking time away for myself, but this retreat was exactly what I needed. The instructors were incredible, the setting was beyond breathtaking, and the community of like-minded souls made it even more special. The daily yoga, nourishing meals, and sunset meditations helped me reset in ways I never imagined. If you're thinking about it—just book it!"
Emma T.


The Perfect Balance of Relaxation & Adventure

This retreat struck the perfect balance between wellness, adventure, and relaxation. The COMO spa was out of this world, and the stand-up paddleboard yoga was really fun! Every single moment felt really balanced—I came back home feeling lighter, happier, and more at peace. A must-do experience!"
