About the retreat
Are you looking to restore and recharge before a busy Summer? If so, join us in early May for a five night Wellness Retreat set in luxury villa 'La Radieuse' in the South of France. This retreat will include yoga, walking, a chance to switch off, delicious food and leave you feeling revitalised and ready for the Summer.
Please join us Tuesday 9 - Sunday 14 May 2023 for a five day yoga retreat in this spectacular villa designed by renowned Italian architect – Paolo Piva. Nestled in to the hillside at the pinnacle of the Domaine du Cap Benat with stunning views over the Mediterranean. La Radieuse provides the perfect location for a wellness retreat. The house has 9 en-suite bedrooms, relaxed living areas and a large terrace. The garden features an infinity pool and whirlpool spa and access to the sea.
About the Location
The Medieval village of Bormes Le Mimosa has been called one of the most beautiful ‘flowered’ villages of the southern French coast located on the Cote d’Azur between Hyeres and St Tropez, at the foothills of the Massif de Maures. The ancient narrow streets and squares accessible only on foot are covered with beautiful plants and shrubs. Less well known than St Tropez or Ramatuelle, it is nonetheless packed with boutiques and galleries, with a market every Wednesday.
