Retreat Summary

Based at the welcoming and beautifully appointed Hope Cove House, the retreat offered the perfect blend of movement, nourishment, relaxation, and connection. Each day began with invigorating hikes along the spectacular South West Coast Path, with scenic trail picnics to keep us fuelled and immersed in nature. Brave sea swims became a daily ritual, leaving us feeling both energised and grounded.

Guests enjoyed twice-daily workouts, individual stretching sessions, and a choice of deeply restorative treatments — including massage, facials, and reflexology — all tailored to support personal wellbeing. Our group conversations explored meaningful themes around longevity, wellness, and living with intention, creating space for honest connection and shared inspiration.

Mealtimes were a highlight, with delicious, locally sourced food served at Hope Cove House — from hearty breakfasts to nourishing evening meals and wholesome picnics. Between sessions, there was ample opportunity to relax: whether curled up with a book in the cosy lounge, gazing out at the sea from a bedroom window, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of the South Devon coast.

The retreat offered more than just a getaway — it was a chance to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the rhythm of nature. It truly felt like a home from home.
