Watamu, Kenya
26 January – 1 February 2026
The Kenyan village of Watamu beholds coconut palms, soft white sand beaches, turquoise pure waters, coral gardens and tiny paradise islands. Watamu is a Marine National Park offering a pristine snorkelling and diving experience with manta rays, turtles and gentle whale sharks. The region is habitat to abundant forest, wildlife, elephants, birds and butterflies. This paradise place is spiced with Kenyan, Arab and Italian culture. The delightful village features quaint Kenyan dukas and the ancient Gede Ruins, a mysterious 13th century Swahili village is nearby.
Watamu Tree House is set amidst Kenya’s indigenous coastal forest on the edge of Watamu’s white sand beach. It has been ecologically constructed with tropical simplicity in harmony with the beauty of nature. There are seven spacious double en-suite rooms and each provides an unforgettable and unique experience. The interior is designed in traditional Kenyan style with white, wood and splashes of colour to uplift your soul. Balconies open to sunrise ocean views or sunset forest views so that your gaze beholds beauty everywhere you look.
On waking up in this turquoise-white verdant paradise, we will do a blissful sunrise sadhana at the ocean-view yoga shala surrounded by indigenous forest, wildlife, bird song and the azure horizon. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we will embody the beauty and power of nature through elemental inspired Vinyasa Flow and Dharma Yoga. These soulful practices create a sense of connection, openness and vibrancy, leaving you feeling lovingly uplifted and alive. In the afternoons, we will surrender to an introspective Yin Yoga and meditation practice at the yoga shala and on the beach, allowing your being to rest, rejuvenate and renew.
Sunrise to Sunset immerse yourself in the natural beauty of soft white sands and crystalline-turquoise waters. Swim in the natural cool-pool under a canopy of trees, relax and read on one of the verandas or sublime rooftop spaces and indulge in a blissful massage at the Lakshmi Spa. This is life at the tree house.
Sunshine for the Soul Retreat Essaouira, Morocco
12 – 17 March 2026
Join us for a sun-filled, nurturing week of yoga, meditation, sightseeing, swimming and nutritious food at Le Jardin Des Douars, a pocket of paradise just outside the ancient seaside town of Essaouira.
Situated on the north coast of Africa, the blue and white Medina is a wonderful place to escape the UK winter and energise your soul and senses; Arabic and French language fills the air along with spices and perfumes, souks are filled with treasures like jewellery, bags, art and lamps and the wide, sandy beach and crashing Atlantic surf are mesmerising. Boutique hotel Le Jardins Des Douars is an oasis amid the desert landscape 15 minutes outside the Medina. Walking through the pink bougainvillea-framed entrance is a bit like stepping into a dream where things appear more vivid than usual – dragon flies flit around the flower-filled gardens, archways lead to secret corners and secluded roof terraces and everything is enveloped in sunshine and serenity.
We will stay in the hotel’s picturesque pink-hued Villa Saada, set in exquisite tropical gardens with palm trees and a serene swimming pool. Our opulent villa offers an indoor and al fresco dining, a luxurious lounge and ensuite bedrooms decorated with colourful Moroccan art work, furniture and textiles.
