This yoga and skincare beauty retreat helps you reconnect with yourself, restore balance and learn natural beauty practices. By combining skincare rituals with yoga, meditation, and nature walks, we aim to empower you to feel rejuvenated, refreshed, and more in tune with your body’s needs. It also brings women together to feel supported, pampered, and nourished, offering a precious opportunity for self-investment. It’s a true gift for yourself, as you take time out, recharge, and indulge in nurturing practices that elevate both your beauty and well-being.

UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS

What makes this yoga and skincare beauty retreat truly exceptional is its seamless integration of mind, body, and skin.

Under the guidance of George Jones, an award-winning skincare expert, you'll discover how to craft a bespoke skincare ritual tailored to your unique needs, unlocking your natural beauty. Set in a serene environment, this retreat offers nourishing plant-based meals, peaceful hillside walks, and immersive skincare experiences that promote deep transformation. It's a harmonious journey of inner and outer renewal, leaving you glowing from the inside out.
