RETREAT IT IS



What is a retreat?

Retreats are quickly becoming a trendy and vogue concept yet many people are still confused by its meaning. The idea is actually quite simple. Imagine a holiday, but a real holiday, where theres no need to worry about travel guides or planning and silence and natural beauty prevail.

This is a holiday where you are looked after throughout your entire stay. For everything that has been selected for you, someone has already researched and selected the best options. Choose what you want to do from fun activities like visiting local sites, exploring a local antique market, surfing or cooking. You can perfect your yoga and pilates but also relax with a soak in a hot tub or grab a book and indulge in the scenery. The choice is yours. Or maybe you just really need to sleep, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the still silence. Or perhaps a detox is your wish which is much easier away from city temptations.

Escape the London or any urban arena to a quiet, natural, and secluded retreat, far from tourist attractions, and withdraw to a simple luxury escape. Yogis are well aware of the beauty that is often unappreciated or even forgotten amongst nature: lush landscapes, the calm morning fog, the sound of the sea, the reverence of the mountains. These are all easier to admire in the hidden places that are untouched by tourism and hotel chains.

Contrary to some connotations, not all retreats are spiritual escapes. Most retreats nowadays and all retreats listed on Retreats I Love are for the everyday person, not just yogis. They especially benefit those who are carried away with their busy city lives and are looking for uninterrupted peace and quiet.

Another great benefit of retreats is meeting like-minded people who are on holiday for the same reasons. It doesnt matter whether you go on a retreat in a group, in a couple or on your own as you looking for a peaceful escape and share similar views of the balanced and beautiful life.

Retreats are uncomplicated luxuries.
