GOOD TO KNOW

Yoga retreat FAQs

Everything you might want to know before you book, plus the questions guests ask about each retreat.

Before you book

How much do yoga retreats cost?

Our prices are per person and depend on the retreat and the room you choose. Current prices start at: Kent from £550 (two nights), Cornwall from £750 (three nights), The Alps from £1,675 (five nights), Portugal from £1,685 (six nights), Mallorca from £1,860 (five nights), Costa Rica from £2,300 (six nights). Your price covers your accommodation, daily yoga and the meals and activities listed on the retreat page. Flights and travel to the retreat are extra.

Are yoga retreats worth it?

We think so, though we may be biased. A retreat gives you daily yoga and breathwork, time outdoors, nourishing food and a small group of like-minded people, all planned for you so you can properly switch off. Join every session or simply rest: it’s your holiday. Our reviews on Trustpilot and Google tell you what guests think.

Are your retreats suitable for beginners? Do I need to surf?

Yes, they are, and no, you don’t. Every retreat caters for all levels of yogi and no prior experience is needed. On our surf retreats in Costa Rica and Portugal, local instructors split the group by ability and first-timers start in the white water. If you’d rather not surf, message us before you book and we can offer a package without the surf lessons. In Cornwall, surfing is an added bonus if the waves line up.

Can I come on my own?

Absolutely. Most of our guests come on their own, so you’ll be in good company. You can book a shared room to meet new people, or a private room if you’d like your own space. Most guests are in their mid-20s to early 40s, and everyone is welcome whatever their age.

What’s included?

Every retreat includes your accommodation, morning and evening yoga and breathwork sessions, most of your meals and snacks, yoga mats and equipment and a Radiant Waves goodie bag, plus activities such as guided hikes, surf sessions or sea swims depending on where you go. Flights and transport to the retreat, drinks, massages and a meal or two out are not included. Each retreat page lists exactly what is and is not covered.

How do deposits and payment plans work?

You secure your place with a non-refundable deposit of £350 to £750, depending on the retreat. The rest is due 6 weeks before your retreat starts. If you book far enough ahead, checkout may offer to spread the balance in monthly instalments, so you don’t have to pay it all at once.

The full details are in our booking terms. Coming alone? Read our guide to solo yoga retreats.

Why a Winter Reset?
  • Pause before Christmas: Step away from the end-of-year rush and create some much-needed breathing room before the festive season begins.
  • Embrace the season: Crisp countryside walks, warming food, glowing fires and cosy evenings make winter something to enjoy, rather than endure.
  • Rest and restore: Grounding movement, restorative practices and unhurried afternoons give your body and mind the chance to properly unwind.
  • Reconnect with yourself: Swap busy schedules and endless notifications for fresh air, thoughtful movement and time to simply be.
  • Share the experience: Gather around the table, laugh, move and create lasting memories with a welcoming group of people.
  • Escape close to home: Enjoy the feeling of a proper countryside retreat without flights, long journeys or complicated planning.
  • Return feeling restored: Head home rested, re-energised and ready to move into the final weeks of the year with renewed energy.
Why Radiant Waves Retreats?
  • Community energy: Small intimate groups, big connection. Come alone or with a friend and quickly feel part of a warm, welcoming community where strangers become friends.

  • Return to a radiant you: More than simply a weekend away, this is a chance to reconnect with yourself and return home feeling rested, re-energised and ready for whatever comes next.
Can I come alone?
  • Absolutely. Most of our guests come on their own, so you’ll be in good company. We’ll get to know each other over Friday’s welcome dinner, and there’s plenty of time to chat on the walk to the pub or over a cuppa by the fire.
  • You can book a spot in a shared room or the dorm, or choose a private room if you’d like your own space to unwind.
Am I the right age for this retreat?
  • You’re welcome at Radiant Waves whatever your age. If a weekend of yoga in a warm studio, a countryside walk to the pub and a good chat by the fire sounds like your thing, we’d love to have you along.
  • Most of our guests are in their mid-20s to early 40s, and we’ve welcomed guests both younger and older.
  • If you’d like to get a feel for the weekend before you book, give us a shout. We’d love to have a quick chat and answer any questions.
How do I get there?
  • By train: The easiest way to reach us is by train to Canterbury West. High-speed services from London St Pancras take around 50 minutes, followed by a short 10-minute drive to the venue. We’ll recommend a specific train and help coordinate shared taxis or station collections closer to the retreat, making the journey as easy as possible.
  • By car: The venue is around 90 minutes from London by car, depending on traffic. The retreat is located just outside the village of Wickhambreaux, near Canterbury, with parking available on-site. Car sharing is always encouraged. It’s more sociable, more affordable and a little kinder to the planet.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a travel guide with more details on your options so it’s easy to choose a route and plan your journey.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
  • Check-in is from 4pm.
  • Check-out is by 3pm.
Do I need to be good at yoga?
  • No. If you’re new to yoga, we’ll guide you through the poses and offer options so you can find your rhythm.
  • If you practise regularly, we’ll turn up the dial with more challenging variations and give you time to explore familiar poses in more depth.
  • With several sessions over the weekend, we can build from one class to the next. You’ll have time to revisit what we’ve worked on and try new things as you go.
What’s the weather like?
  • It’s the British countryside in mid-November, so expect crisp days, chilly temperatures and a chance of rain. Pack warm layers and waterproofs, and we’ll be ready to embrace whatever the weather brings.
  • We’ll adapt our plans as we go, enjoying the contrast between wrapping up for winter walks in the fresh country air and returning to the house for nourishing food, restorative movement, a soak in the hot tub and time beside the fire. For us, the winter weather is all part of the experience: embracing the elements and returning rosy-cheeked to somewhere warm and cosy.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a detailed packing guide so you know what to bring and can get ready for the adventure.
What can I expect?
  • Our mornings will begin with warm, fluid practices designed to awaken the body and gently build energy for the day ahead. After a nourishing breakfast, we’ll wrap up warm and head into the crisp winter air for countryside walks, with an optional cold-water dip for anyone feeling brave.
  • Active mornings will give way to slower, more thoughtful afternoons. Read beside the fire, paint, enjoy the hot tub, have a chat or simply take some time for yourself. Everything is optional, and there will be plenty of space to follow your own rhythm.
  • As evening draws in, we’ll return to the studio for restorative movement and breathwork before gathering around the table for a shared meal. Expect warming food, meaningful conversations, a cosy movie night and time spent connecting with an amazing group of people.
Who’s it for?
  • This retreat is for anyone craving a little breathing room before the Christmas festivities begin. Perhaps the year has felt full, life has been moving quickly or you simply want to treat yourself to a weekend away. This is your chance to step out of the fast lane and enjoy a carefully curated balance of movement, fresh air, nourishing food, meaningful connection and time beside the fire.
  • Come alone, bring a friend or escape with your partner. All movement practices will be accessible to different levels of experience. More than anything, this is a weekend for anyone ready to switch off, reconnect and return home feeling restored.

Costa RicaSanta Teresa, Costa Rica

Why Santa Teresa?
  • Surf town vibes: A barefoot beach town buzzing with energy, surfboards, and smoothie bowls.
  • Epic beaches: Miles of untouched coastline. Hermosa, Carmen and Santa Teresa all within easy reach.
  • Wellness hub: Yoga, reformer Pilates, massages, you name it, Santa T will have it.
  • Great food scene: Countless top muncharies from Argentine steaks to sushi spots and wood-fired pizza, all ridiculously good.
  • Pink skies: The daily gift of breathtaking sunsets disappearing into the ocean and leaving the whole sky pink.
  • Blue zone magic: Santa Teresa sits within one of the world's five Blue Zones, where people live longer, healthier and happier lives.
Why Radiant Waves Retreats?
  • Community energy: Small groups, big connection. Arrive as strangers, leave as friends.
  • Carefully curated schedule: Daily yoga, surf sessions, breathwork and time in nature, a week shaped by our favourite experiences discovered while living and exploring Costa Rica.
  • Dream villas: Open-air living, pools and ocean views. Luxury that still feels grounded.
  • Nourishing food: Wholesome, local ingredients cooked with heart. Our food celebrates simplicity, flavour and freshness.
  • Authentically run: Founded by yogis and surfers who actually live this lifestyle, not just sell it. Every detail comes from firsthand experience and genuine passion.
  • It's your holiday: This is your time to relax, do awesome things and have fun. Maybe even enjoy a tropical cocktail or two.
Can I come alone?
  • Absolutely. Most of our guests come on their own, so you’ll be in good company. We’ll get to know each other over our welcome dinner, and there’s plenty of time to chat over a coconut after a surf or while watching the sun go down over the Pacific.
  • You can share a twin room with another solo guest or book a private room if you’d like your own space to unwind.
Am I the right age for this retreat?
  • You’re welcome at Radiant Waves whatever your age. If a week of yoga above the treetops, surf in the warm Pacific and long dinners with good company sounds like your thing, we’d love to have you along.
  • Most of our guests are in their mid-20s to early 40s, and we’ve welcomed guests both younger and older.
  • If you’d like to get a feel for the Costa Rica retreat before you book, come and have a quick chat with us. We’d love to meet you and answer any questions.
How do I get there?
  • We recommend flying into San José (SJO). Liberia (LIR) is another option if the flights work better for you. From San José, there are two easy ways to get to Santa Teresa (similar routes are available from Liberia).
  • By plane: Take a scenic domestic flight to Cóbano, around 35 minutes in the air, then allow around 30 minutes by taxi to the villa. It’s a small propeller plane, and the views over the coast are part of the adventure.
  • By shared shuttle: Allow around 5 hours from San José airport, including a ferry ride across the Gulf of Nicoya. Popular departure times are at 6 am and 3 pm, though times vary by provider.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a travel guide with more details on your options so it’s easy to choose a route and plan your journey. If you’re arriving around the same time as other guests, we can help you coordinate a shared transfer.
  • If you’re unsure about any part of the journey, just give us a shout. We lived in the region for nearly three years and have made the trip back and forth plenty of times, so we know the journey well and are happy to help you work out what’s easiest for you.
Flying from the UK?
  • British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow (LHR) to San José (SJO) on selected days. If the direct flight doesn’t suit your dates, you can connect via Madrid, Paris, the USA or Bogotá.
  • We prefer going via Madrid or Paris when we connect, as we like getting the short hop out of the way first, then settling in for the long flight to Costa Rica. That’s just our preference, so go with what works best for you.
  • If you’re connecting through the USA, you’ll need an approved ESTA, even if you’re only changing planes. We recommend applying as soon as you book your flights.
Do I need a visa?
  • If travelling from Europe or the USA, no visa is required.
  • However, European travellers transiting through the USA will need an ESTA. We’d recommend applying as soon as you book your flights so you have plenty of time to get it sorted before you travel. You can apply or check an existing ESTA on the official ESTA website.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
  • Check-in is from 4:30pm
  • Check-out is by 11am
Do I need to be good at yoga?
  • No. If you’re new to yoga, we’ll guide you through the poses and offer options so you can find your rhythm.
  • If you practise regularly, we’ll turn up the dial with more challenging variations and give you time to explore familiar poses in more depth.
  • With several sessions over the week, we can build from one class to the next. You’ll have time to revisit what we’ve worked on and try new things as you go.
What if I've never surfed?
  • You’re in good hands. We surf with a crew of local instructors who are absolute legends. They know these breaks inside out and split us into groups by surf ability, so you’ll be in the water with those of a similar level.
  • If you’re catching your first waves, we’ll start in the white water, get you comfortable popping up and work towards catching green waves as your confidence grows.
  • Already comfortable paddling out back? Our local surf pros will help you find a good spot in the line-up, read the waves and fine-tune your technique. Whether you’re working on your first take-off or getting more out of your turns, you’ll have something to get stuck into and have a laugh along the way.
Do I have to surf?
  • Not at all. On our last Costa Rica retreat, two guests chose to skip the surf lessons and got stuck into the rest of the week with us. While the others are out catching waves, you’re welcome to wander down to the beach, sunbathe or settle in by the pool with a book.
  • If that sounds like your kind of week, drop us a message before you book and we can offer you a package without the surf lessons.
What's the weather like?
  • February is dry season in Santa Teresa, with plenty of sunshine and daytime temperatures around 28 - 30°C. Think morning yoga with the sea breeze coming through the shala, barefoot afternoons by the pool and the whole sky turning pink as the sun drops into the Pacific. It’s a pretty good swap for February back home.
  • The ocean is warm, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. Bring swimwear, a hat, sunscreen and something light to throw on between surfs.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a detailed packing guide so you know what to bring and can get ready for the adventure.
What can I expect?
  • Six nights above Playa Hermosa, with morning yoga overlooking the jungle and the Pacific, surf sessions with our local crew and a trip to the Montezuma waterfalls. Expect salty hair, fresh coconuts after a surf and plenty of laughs in the water.
  • You’ll get a taste of Blue Zone living at our favourite pace. Grab an iced coffee and wander the boho streets and boutique shops of Santa Teresa, or head back to the villa to stretch out in the sun by the pool. There’s time to do very little, too. Listen to the jungle, have a post-surf nap or just let yourself be for a while. You can also book a massage at the villa and give those paddling shoulders a bit of love.
  • If you fancy a little more adventure, there are optional extra activities. Go horse riding along a quiet tropical beach, zip-line through the jungle canopy or explore Costa Rica's dusty tracks on a quad bike.
  • Come evening, we’ll get back together to watch the sun drop into the Pacific and play games over dinner.
Who’s it for?
  • Anyone who fancies a proper adventure in the tropics. Maybe you’ve always wanted to catch your first wave, or you’re happiest with salty hair, sandy feet and a trail that leads to a waterfall. If you’re up for trying something new and having a good laugh along the way, you’ll feel right at home.
  • Come on your own, with a friend or with your partner. There’s plenty to get stuck into and time to put your feet up between adventures. Costa Rica is one of the most inspiring places we’ve been lucky enough to explore, and we can’t wait to show you the bits we keep coming back for.
Can I make this part of a longer trip around Costa Rica?
  • Absolutely. If you’ve got the time, we’d highly recommend seeing more of Costa Rica. Lots of our guests do.
  • We usually suggest starting with the retreat. It allows you to settle into life in the tropics, find your feet and create some epic memories before you head off to explore. On our last Costa Rica retreat, a group of guests ended up travelling together for another week.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’re happy to share our Costa Rica itinerary guide we put together while living in the region for nearly three years. It covers some of the country’s highlights, along with our favourite spots and tips for getting around. If you’re wondering where to go next or how to fit it all in, give us a shout. We’re happy to jump on a call and help you work out a route.

  • May: Think long spring evenings, clear blue skies, coffee in the garden and sunshine on the cliff paths. Daytime highs are typically around 16°C.
  • September: We love this time of year. There’s often a little summer left in the air, and a sunny afternoon is a good excuse for a barefoot beach walk or a dip in the Atlantic. Daytime highs are typically around 18°C.
  • Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a detailed packing guide so you know what to bring and can get ready for the adventure.
What can I expect?
  • Three nights in Constantine Bay, with mornings on the yoga mat, afternoons out on the coast and evenings around the table. We’ll get out for a walk around Trevose Head, see how many of the Seven Bays we can tick off and go for numerous Atlantic dips. If the surf gods are kind, we’ll squeeze in a few waves too.
  • Back at the house, there’s a sauna to warm up in, time to try your hand at painting and plenty of room for a lazy afternoon. Then it’s shared dinners, plenty of laughs and a few games around the fire.
Who’s it for?
  • Anyone who fancies a long weekend by the sea with a mixture of adventure and plenty of time to put their feet up. If your idea of a good day involves yoga, salty hair and a long dinner with good company, we think you’ll feel right at home.
  • Come on your own, with a friend or with your partner. Whether you’re new to yoga or already practise regularly, you can make the weekend your own.
What if I've never surfed?
  • No worries at all. Surfing is an added bonus on this retreat, and if the waves line up we head out for those who want to.

Why the Alps?

What's the weather like?
  • Warm sunny days and cool, fresh evenings, usually 20 to 25°C. This is the mountains, so pack light layers, something warm for evenings and a waterproof just in case.

What to expect
  • Days flow between energising morning practices, guided walks through wildflower-filled alpine trails, long picnic lunches in the sunshine and relaxed afternoons at the chalet. One day we take a cross-border trip to an Italian spa, soaking in thermal waters.
Who’s it for?

MallorcaValldemossa, Mallorca

Why Mallorca?
  • Wild beauty: Rugged mountains, hidden coves and a coastline that shifts from dramatic cliffs to crystal-clear bays.
  • Where the mountains meet the Mediterranean: From our base in Valldemossa, explore the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana, with its dramatic peaks, ancient olive groves and stone villages. Mornings on mountain trails, afternoons in sheltered coves, and time to wander cobbled streets or linger over a coffee.
  • Island energy: A slower rhythm, golden light, and a feeling that invites you to fully switch off and come back to yourself.
  • Mediterranean flavour: Local markets, seasonal produce, olive oil and long, leisurely meals made to be shared.
  • Nature therapy: From coastal swims to mountain hikes, a place to breathe deeper and move freely.
  • Easy escape: A short flight from the UK and Europe, yet it feels a world away.
Why Radiant Waves Retreats?
  • Community energy: Small groups, big connection. Arrive as strangers, leave as friends.
  • Carefully curated schedule: Yoga, movement, breathwork and time in nature, shaped into one deeply restorative week.
  • Nourishing food: Wholesome, seasonal meals made with local ingredients. Simple, grounding and made to be shared.
  • Authentically run: Founded by yogis, adventurers and nature-lovers who truly live this lifestyle. Every detail comes from firsthand experience.
  • It's your holiday: This is your time to relax, move and explore. Join every session or simply rest, wander and reset at your own pace.
Can I come alone?
  • Absolutely, most of our guests do. Book a shared room to meet new people, or a private room if you prefer your own space.
How do I get there?
  • Fly into Palma de Mallorca Airport. We’ll share recommended flight times to help align arrivals, and from there we’ll help to coordinate group transfers to the villa, just a short 30-minute drive away.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
  • Check-in is from 4:30pm
  • Check-out is by 10am
Do I need to be good at yoga and Pilates?
  • Not at all. Our retreat caters for all levels and experience, no prior experience is needed.
What will the weather be like?
  • May is generally warm and bright, with green landscapes and beautiful conditions for hiking and outdoor yoga. October brings warm sea temperatures, golden light and pleasant days without the intensity of the summer heat. Evenings can be cooler in both seasons, so bring a warm layer.
What can I expect?
  • Days flow between morning practices, mountain trails and coastal adventures in the Serra de Tramuntana, with time to wander Valldemossa’s cobbled streets and share leisurely Mediterranean lunches. Afternoons are for poolside rest, and evenings for home-cooked meals and conversations on the terrace.
Who’s it for?
  • An end-of-season escape to hold onto the warmth, light and energy of summer. For those craving space to move, breathe and reconnect, without going far.
