Retreats
Retreats in Cape Town don't get better than this...
Disconnect. Breathe. Reconnect.
Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a minute – even you!
Honest Yoga retreats have been specifically designed for people like me - busy with daily life, needing a quick break - a real break - that doesn't demand too much in order to get there and start to de-stress. All my retreats are designed to take you on a personal journey through many wellness elements including yoga, massage, creativity, nourishing food, nature and rest, along with other interesting activities and modalities I discover along the way in my own personal wellness journey.
These events are highly sought-after and exclusive, attracting guests with the same outcome in mind - a quick reset to fill the energy cup.

The Reset Retreat

Hout Bay

The Reset Retreat is one of Cape Town’s premium wellness experiences, held in the quiet foothills of Hout Bay – just 30 minutes from the city, yet it feels a world apart.
In the heart of deep winter, this is your invitation to slow down, reflect, and make space – for yourself, your breath, and what truly matters. Surrounded by nature and wrapped in quiet luxury, you’ll settle into a warm, welcoming environment with glowing fireplaces, soft textures, and all the comfort you need to truly exhale.
No need to travel far or overthink the details – just arrive, unwind, and let the season hold you, for a weekend of bliss.
Please note: This is an intimate, boutique retreat with fewer than 10 participants – ensuring a personalised, spacious, and deeply held experience throughout.

All about the retreat
The Yoga
Our yoga sessions are intentionally gentle and grounding – designed to help you slow down and reconnect.
In the evening, a candlelit yin experience invites deep release and stillness, allowing you to soften and let go. The Sunday starts with a calming yoga flow and meditation, creating space in the body and clearing the mind.
All levels are welcome – from beginners to advanced.
The Creative Process
The retreat includes a guided mosaic workshop – a meditative, hands-on experience that invites relaxation, creativity, and quiet focus.
Led by local artist Beryl Goslett, you’ll learn the mindful process of shaping and placing each piece, creating your own unique mosaic artwork to take home – a tactile reminder of the space you made for yourself here.
*No artistic experience required
The MassageÂ
Each guest is treated to a sensational 30 minute scalp and shoulder treatment, from locally-loved (and very much in demand) Suzi Burger and The Beach Spa team.
*Note: If you would like to have upgrade your treatment to a 60 minute full body or back massage, please purchase an this upgrade from the shop to add to your retreat package here, subject to availability.Â
The Nourishment
The menu has been specifically designed for this retreat and aims to rejuvenate and nourish the body and mind. It’s colourful, nutrient-dense, flavourful, beautiful and easy on the digestive system.
*Vegetarian and vegan options are available – please specify this in your booking. Â
The Venue
Held at Umoya Boutique Hotel in Hout Bay, offering a sanctuary that seamlessly integrates with its breathtaking surroundings. Guests are treated to endless views and spectacular sunsets across the bay from this hidden gem.Â
Each room has a king size bed, each with their own en-suite bathrooms.Â
Each villa is very cleverly designed so that each room is more than enough on its own, but can also cater for a more social setting. Each suite shares a living space with kitchen, living room and fireplace with one other room. You can choose to use this area with friends or other guests, or close your suite off completely and enjoy your cozy, luxury cocoon.Â
