Sitting by the campfire gazing at the stars with a glass of organic wine in hand. Magical!
The climate. One of the world’s most pleasant, according to National Geographic.
The loving service of the staff: you feel almost literally 'carried' here.
The food: prepared with much love, which you ll taste the difference.. incredibly tasty!

Ik deed de signature detox en het was alles wat ik wilde én meer. De plaats is magisch, het eten was geweldig en leerde me hoeveel rotzooi we in ons lichaam stoppen. Ik was zeer tevreden met de therapeut en de spa, beide een van de beste die heb gehad. Echt een geweldige plek om te ontspannen, te genezen, te mediteren en te herstellen.
We zijn thuis van onze reis naar The Retreat en voelen ons zo ontspannen! Zo dankbaar dat ik 4 geweldige dagen heb doorgebracht. Het personeel heeft het echt onvergetelijk gemaakt. Vanaf het moment dat we werden begroet door Luis en Emerson voelden we ons als familie. Vriendelijkheid van het keukenpersoneel en de medewerkers in de Spa. We vonden zo'n rust hier op de berg. Bedankt voor de kleine details, luxe voorzieningen en zorg voor de gasten. Dit hotel heeft een van de beste maaltijden en drankjes die je ooit zult vinden en waarvan je absoluut van kan genieten. Mei is 'green season', maar het weerhield ons er niet van om op avontuur te gaan en wandelingen te maken in de natuur. We kunnen niet wachten om terug te keren om onze Retreat-familie te zien. Veel liefde en licht!
Mijn man en ik hadden een geweldige tijd in The Retreat! Het eten was absoluut ongelooflijk en het personeel deed haar best om ervoor te zorgen dat onze ervaring en ons verblijf naar wens was! We kunnen eerlijk gezegd niet wachten om terug te komen naar The Retreat en zullen deze plek aanbevelen aan iedereen van onze familie en vrienden. Wat een perfecte vakantie na 2 jaar in quarantaine te hebben doorgebracht vanwege COVID. Dit was echt onze favoriete vakantie tot dusverre... en de zonsondergangen zijn prachtig! Ik stuur liefde naar het personeel en kijk ernaar uit jullie snel weer te zien!
Set in such a stunning location, on a private hillside which you can explore on a daily hike with a guide. The best thing about the Retreat though is the service, all the staff go above and beyond for you, and go out of their way to make sure you’re happy and comfortable. Due to it being a small resort, all the staff get to know you by your first name, and are able to offer an even more personalised service. Special shout out to Emerson and Luis, who made our stay so much more enjoyable and personal. Hope to go again soon!!
Het is hier enorm mooi en gezellig, de perfecte plek om te ontspannen en tot rust te komen.
Ze zorgen voor elk detail waardoor het een onvergetelijke ervaring wordt.
