Is this retreat for you?

This isn't a spa break. It's a structured week of real work on your health — with genuine results.

  • You want a genuine reset — gut, liver, nervous system — not just a holiday
  • You're ready to understand the root causes of how you're feeling
  • You want expert practitioners in the room, not a one-size-fits-all programme
  • You leave wanting tools and knowledge you can actually use at home
  • You're open to new experiences: breathwork, cold exposure, Ayurvedic massage, Shiatsu

A day at La Manga

No two days are identical — but here's the shape of a typical day to give you a feel for the week.

Sunrise

Beach walk, open water swim & breathwork

Niki or Dr Zoë breaks down the science in a way that's immediately useful and easy to take home.

Afternoon

Treatments & free time

1:1 bodywork sessions, time by the pool, or restoring in the sauna or infrared room.

5

Evening

Nourishing dinner & community

Organic food made with intention — and conversations that keep going long after dessert.

The week closes on the beach — rhythm, connection, and something you won't forget.

Common questions

Who is this retreat for?+
Anyone ready to step back from the pace of everyday life and invest in their health. You don't need a specific fitness level or prior knowledge — our team meets you exactly where you are. Past guests have ranged from busy professionals and new mums to people recovering from illness or simply feeling stuck.
What's the food like?+
All meals are prepared by Niki and the team using organic, whole-food ingredients aligned with the gut and liver cleanse protocols. Expect nourishing, flavour-forward food — not restriction. There are cooking workshops so you leave knowing how to recreate what you've eaten.
Can I come on my own?+
Absolutely — most guests do. Retreats naturally bring people together. By day two you'll feel like you've known everyone for years.
What level of fitness do I need?+
None specifically. Movement sessions range from gentle yoga and breathwork to more dynamic options — you choose what feels right each day. Everything is optional.
What's included in the price?+
Accommodation, all meals, group movement and yoga sessions, breathwork, tai chi, NLP and hypnotherapy workshops, cooking classes, Wim Hof ice bath experience, Kinesio taping, unlimited infrared sauna and detox equipment, a welcome bag worth £120, and 1x lymphatic drainage massage are all included. Additional 1:1 treatments — including IV therapy, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage, deep tissue and osteopathy — are available to book on arrival.
How many spaces are available?+
We keep numbers intentionally small — usually 14 to 18 guests — so every person gets real attention from the team. Spaces go quickly, especially for La Manga.
