Pure Bliss - Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat

Oh my!! My fourth visit to Sukhavati was the best on yet. I feel light, clean, and energised.
Sukhavati’s completely personalised, immersive, Ayurvedic detox programs are transformative. The capable, supportive, warm, and spacious staff made it easy for me to experience a complete physical, mental, and emotional detox, even whilst teaching yoga classes to other guests.
Winter Solstice Yoga Retreat
28 - 30 June 2024
What a beautiful weekend we shared at Summer House, Torquay! Our guests say that Summer House was even nicer than expected. The private yoga studio was perfect for our Ashtanga, Yin, and Restorative yoga sessions. We ate delicious meals prepared by our very own in-house chef. And a highlight was our guided nature walk in Iron Bark Basin and along the coast.
Stay tuned for our next retreat at Summer House - we will definitely return.
