-
We expect to have at least a couple of men on the retreat. Although the groups are usually predominantly women, men are most welcome.
-
Yes, if you book a twin room, we will make sure you share a room with someone of the same sex and will do our best to match you with someone of a similar profile. The good news is the rooms are huge so you feel like you have plenty of space, and generally, everyone who comes along is super lovely.

Absolutely! There is so much to do in Malindi & Watamu, from sunset dhow cruises to Sup-ing with pods of dolphins, to snorkelling in local marine parks and visiting local sites such as Marafa Hells Kitchen (natural canyon), Mida Creek mangroves, Gede ruins & the Arabuko forest & elephants to name a few. Many watersports are available locally, including kite surfing, diving, wakeboarding, fishing, sailing, wake surfing, wind foiling, etc. There is a great Padel tennis club in Watamu. You can book courts easily and enjoy a delicious iced coffee post-match at the cafe there!
Between morning and sunset yoga, there will be ample free time each day to laze on the beach, do excursions, explore the local towns of Malindi and Watamu, go for lovely lunches, or sample the sublime gelato found locally due to the Italian influence in the area.
When we arrive, the villa manager will be on hand to advise and book any activities we wish to do, and a driver will be available for transportation.
-
No, you do not. It is recommended that you participate as much as you can to get the most out of your yoga development, but obviously, it's entirely up to you how much you do and it is important to listen to your body when it knows it needs to rest!
-
I would recommend packing plenty of beach clothes, yoga clothes, sunscreen, a meditation shawl, a journal, a pen, sunglasses, evening clothes, a few warm clothes for the evening as it gets cooler at night, cool protective clothes and shoes and a hat for the safari, insect repellent, malaria tablets just in-case you are very sensitive to bites, camera.
-
The food will be mainly vegan/vegetarian to support a healthy yogic diet and will accommodate all dietary requirements and allergies, provided they are noted in the booking form. For non-vegetarian people, we would not expect you to come to Kenya by the beach and not sample their fresh local fish at least for a couple of the meals, but the menu will accommodate all preferences.
-
At the end of February, Watamu, Kenya experiences hot, humid weather with an average daily maximum of around 26°C and a minimum of 14°C, making it a good time for safaris and beach activities.
-
There is a high risk of malaria in some areas of Kenya, so it is generally advised to take antimalarial tablets, use insect repellent, and avoid mosquito bites . You can visit a travel clinic or use an online travel clinic to order them.
