Retreats

For those who like both challenges and chilling out – welcome to the retreat you’ve been waiting for! We’ve crafted a weekend set to thrill your adventurous side, with stunning views as you hike along the Cliffs of Moher, and to soothe your contemplative side, with deeply nourishing vinyasa yoga and mindfulness meditations.

Over the weekend the Cliff walk from Doolin to Liscannor will be covered (weather permitting). You’ll have plenty of time to relax and reward yourself too! The morning practices are warming and invigorating focusing on opening up our joints. We will stretch and lengthen our muscles whilst working through sun salutations and a variation of standing sequences, followed by some gentle back bends and winding down forward bends and hip openers. There will be a strong emphasis on warming up our legs before our glorious hike. Overall the practice will be warming and opening up the whole body. Which will help you enjoy the walk even more!

The evening yoga is a gentle but deep restorative practice where we open up the joints and stretch the legs in a lovely calming gentle way. You should expect to float out of this practice!

Drink in the views of the Atlantic Ocean in our glass-fronted studio as you enjoy a restorative yoga class. Unwind in our new wood-burning hot tubs (weather-permitting) as you soak up the surrounding scenery. Indulge in a massage before curling up beside a roaring turf fire. Nourish your body over and over with our delicious and organic produce. One, two, three, ahhhhh…

This is your chance to embrace the outdoors and to blow away the cobwebs while stretching your body, calming your mind and soothing your soul. Leave the retreat having made new friends, explored a breathtaking corner of Ireland and reconnected to yourself on all levels.

We are 7kms from Lahinch driving straight out on the road to the Cliffs of Moher. As you enter Lahinch follow the signs for the Cliffs of Moher and Liscannor (it’s a right turn before you come into the main street of the village).

Drive along that road, with the golf course on your left. After 4 kms you will reach Liscannor Village. Continue driving through Liscannor Village. After another 3kms turn left, just before The Rock Shop (which is on the right side of the road). After 200 metres you will reach a crossroads, turn right. Continue up the road for approximately 750metres, we are the third property on the left, you will drive up a long driveway and we will be waiting for you there!

Common Questions

What time is check-in?

Check-in is at 4pm..

My flight gets in earlier than the 4pm check in, can I come earlier?

We will be preparing the retreat centre at that time and if a group checked out that day your room will be not be ready if you are arriving very early. We recommend getting the taxi to drop off your bags and then taking you into Lahinch. We are isolated and there isn’t anywhere to get lunch but Lahinch has cafes, restaurants, shops and a lovely beach. Your taxi can arrange to collect you again later.

My flight arrives a day in advance - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying earlier as the centre is not open before a retreat. There may also be a retreat
still in progress. We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has walking access to
hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach.

My flight leaves the next day - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying an extra night as the centre is closed after a retreat. There may also be a retreat starting.
We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has access to
hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach within walking distance.

I arrive into Shannon Airport, what's the best way to get to you?

Please visit our Getting Here page for full details.

Will I be able to share a transfer from Shannon airport?

It will depend if there are others on the same flight. We will not know this at the time of booking.
If you are in a position where you have to pay for a taxi on your own on the way in, it is usually easier to
get back to the airport as you can look into public transport or get a lift with another guest driving past the airport.

Is there Wifi?

We have wifi for guests in our media room, a comfortable room to read, relax and get online if you want to.

Can I get a single room?

We have a limited number of single rooms which are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Prices are €35 extra per night. Please contact to arrange.

I'm coming on my own can you pair me to share?

We can pair you with someone of the same gender.

What do I need to bring?

We provide towels, hand soap, hair-driers and yoga equipment, please bring anything else you require.

I'm new to yoga, will the retreat suit me?

We get beginners all the time, and everyone is welcome.

I have a severe food allergy , can you accommodate me?

Yes we can, please can you let us know your severe food allergy upon booking.

Is alcohol served/allowed at the Retreat?

No, we are a dry facility but there are some wonderful pubs in the area that we can guide you to and we can also provide you with some taxi numbers.

How do I arrange a massage during my stay?

We are limited for treatments due to having only one therapy room. With a full retreat program there are only certain slots available, for example, on a weekend retreat there are only 3 massage slots. If you know in advance that you would like a treatment please contact us to arrange.

I'd like to book a surf lesson/activity, should I do this before I arrive?

It is a good idea to make sure you can get a place. The details for recommended tour operators are on in the section The Area.

What kind of yoga do you teach?

All our teachers are extremely experienced but each teach their own style. Please see the individual retreats and teacher’s biographies for more specific details.
