I really liked the teachers, and the staff are extraordinary, nice, service-oriented, and professional. And the food is awesome. The place feels like home, cozy, personal.

I came to this retreat because of my recent divorce, I needed a break to grow personally.

This retreat was a balance between relaxation, sport, diet, and yoga/meditation, complete and balanced.

During this retreat, I lost 3kgs and ended up super relaxed and clear-minded.

Our 4-day / 3-night stay was just not enough to take in all the amazing food, wellness consultations, service, and kind hospitality extended by Noo and his phenomenal team. Sanya’s wellness classes of yoga, sound bowl meditation, and chakra reading were really on point, we haven’t had such spiritual healing and advice before from a previous yoga instructor. She helped us zen out completely!

Jack’s Muay Thai lessons were very memorable we had so much fun with him sweating it out and learning some pro moves!
