Guests must leave the retreat the following Saturday by 1030am unless they are staying to participate in a second week.
Guests will be given three nutritious juices or thicker smoothies per day and a warming soup or elixir in the evening. The juice programme has been designed to encourage detoxification whilst providing sufficient nutrients and calorie intake to participate in a busy daily programme of guided walks, yoga and fitness classes. Talks and cooking demonstration are given by a nutritional therapist to inspire and educate guests on improving food and lifestyle choices. On Friday the day before departure, guests will have the option to break the fast with samples of food made in a workshop environment with the nutritional therapist.
Guests will receive three light meals a day to encourage detoxification and cleansing. The meal plan will be designed by a nutritional therapist to provide the right balance of macro and micronutrients to support the guests ,at the same time avoid the overindulgence of calorific foods. Alongside the main programme of activity, talks and cooking demonstration to inspire and educate on food and lifestyle choices will be given by a nutritional therapist. Our aim is to ensure guests eat well-balanced highly nutritious meals so that they go home feeling light and full of energy not in a food coma needing another holiday. If guests are looking for a retreat with luxurious 3 course meals with alcohol there are plenty of other retreats in Europe to chose from.
If you have chosen to room share you will be an open minded, compassionate and considerate person and respect the space and character of the person you share with. We like to encourage new friendships at the retreat and sharing a room paves the way for great human connections on retreat and the special community feel and vibe. We regret we are unable to change you to another room if you are not satisfied in your room so if this is something you are concerned about you are free to chose the single supplement booking option on our website.

Wild View Retreat is a place of amazing peace and tranquillity, the perfect place for restoring body mind and soul. We invite all guests to use their retreat week as an opportunity to abstain from use of electronic devices. Guests who try a digital detox benefit from the lack of constant electro stimulation that has gripped modern society and bringing an amazing sense of calmness and balance to the central nervous system for anyone who is prepare to go ‘ phone free’ for a week.
As such, all guests are politely asked not to use their digital electronic devices in communal areas (kindles, laptops, ipads, phones and anything that beeps and disturbs other people). Please use digital devices away from other people in non-communal areas for example your bedroom. If sharing a bedroom we ask that you respect the boundaries of your fellow guest and keep the use of your digital devices to a minimum. No loud speaker devices should be used.
We will have one day a week, typically the last full day of the retreat where these restrictions are lifted to encourage people to share contacts, photos and connections with friends made. This is one day when the digital detox restrictions are waived and connections encouraged.
The retreat is in a 3G mobile data area and whilst the signal is not really fast, mobile data is available. The retreat also has private wifi that will be available, so you will never feel completely isolated! Of course we understand that for some people it is very important to be able to talk to family or have important work to attend to so please speak to us regarding this and we will ensure this is possible without disturbing the other guests.
Guests are required to complete and return the Health and Fitness Questionnaire with the balance payment confirming they are fit and healthy to participate in the activities listed on the retreat week booked. You must disclose any medical condition you may have including pregnancy and also provide confirmation of your doctor’s permission to take part in the retreat for any listed health condition.
All guests must assume that there is an element of risk in taking part in any retreat week that involves exercise and or fasting and that you must take full responsibility for this risk and seek your doctors permission to participate if you have any predetermined heath conditioning.
We have one room with disabled access but please note due to the wild natural setting of the retreat there are some areas of the retreat that are harder to access with a wheelchair. We will do our best to accommodate any guest with disabilities, please contact us for more information about access for those with disabilities on hello@wildviewretreat.com
