I spent 4 days and 3 nights at this wellness retreat, and overall, it was a peaceful and nourishing experience — though there were some key areas that could be improved.||The arrival was smooth and luxurious, with a comfortable airport pickup. Still, I feel the journey could have been more aligned with the retreat’s wellness spirit — something as simple as calming music or a short meditation could have made it more immersive.||When I arrived, I had a basic wellness consultation and a Visiobody scan, which was used to tailor the program. As a dietitian specialising in holistic care, I found the consultation to be relatively surface-level. There wasn’t much diagnostic depth, and most of the guidance came from the scan results (purely anthropometric)||One thing I truly appreciated was the organic, fresh, and beautifully prepared food. However, I wasn’t fully convinced about pairing juices and smoothies with solid meals — nutritionally, it didn’t always feel like the best combination for digestion or energy balance, especially for those with specific goals.||While I chose the Mindfulness and Emotional Balance program (and noted that some weight loss would be welcome but not essential), I did feel that a lot of essential experiences had to be paid for separately. I paid extra for my private breathwork session, an additional facial, and Reiki healing — all of which were valuable — but for the price of the program, it felt like these should have been included. At other retreats I’ve attended, things like guided nature walks, longer yoga sessions (90 minutes), and spa experiences were part of the base package. Here, the overall structure felt more limited unless you opted to pay for extras, which was disappointing.||That said, the absolute highlight was Sofia, who led my private breathwork and aerial yoga. Her knowledge, energy, and presence are exceptional. She radiates positivity and calm, and the breathwork session with her was genuinely transformative — one of the best wellness moments I’ve had.||I also had a Reiki healing session with their in-house master, which was very grounding and calming. As part of my package, I had two massages — one of which, with Nila, was truly outstanding. It was one of the best massages I’ve experienced. On the other hand, the facial and body scrub were just average.||The overall intensity of the retreat was quite low. While deeply restful, it lacked active options. I found myself lying down a lot, and would have appreciated more movement, especially since I did express an openness to gentle weight loss support. The final Visiobody scan showed a slight weight gain — which I questioned, as it was done post-breakfast instead of after the recommended fasting period.||The retreat also includes red light (LED) therapy, which was calming, and makes use of various wellness technologies. An interesting and thoughtful addition was the nocturnal wellness element, which included things like a ritual detox bath or a chamomile tea in the evening — a lovely touch to wind down.||In summary, the retreat is serene, well-kept, and ideal for those seeking stillness and gentle care. I’m also grateful for their upgrade. However, I do feel the base program should include more, especially given the pricing. While I left feeling restored, the standout moments were those I chose to invest extra in — especially my private breath work with Sofia or the healing reiki. ||Sonam
