Golden Summer Retreat
10-day, 9-night Retreat
21st to 30th August 2026
A Celebration of Vitality and Joy
Summer invites us to step fully into life. As nature flourishes in abundance, we are reminded of our own capacity for vitality, creativity and wholehearted living.
Our Signature 10-Day Seasonal Journey celebrates this spirit through personalised Ayurveda, contemplative practice, meaningful connection and the healing rhythms of nature. Together, we create a space where joy, renewal and transformation unfold naturally.

Full Board Accommodation
Eco Cabanas
Designed and built with sensitivity to the natural surroundings, the cabanas are reached by a raised wooden walkway that offers glimpses of wildlife among the trees. Once you step in, the spacious rooms embrace a natural and minimal design that celebrates the skilful craftsmanship of local artisans.
The cabanas offer the luxury of being surrounded by nature, with framed views of a tropical forest from a comfortable and private space of your own.
Luxury Beach Cabanas
Our Luxury Cabanas are the ultimate tier of Sanctuary accommodation, located a 100-metre walk from the beach. Designed by world-renowned architects, the rooms provide ample space to refresh yourself after a day of healing and exploration, with elegant arched ceilings inspired by nature.
From the private balcony surrounded by lush greenery, the view of topaz waters dances through the coconut palm trees, while the ocean hum induces deep relaxation.
