Home › Retreats › 5-Day Ayurvedic Weight Loss Reset in the Herefordshire Countryside
United Kingdom · 5 days · From EUR 890
The retreat is built around three things: food, movement, and rest. Each morning starts with yoga or a fitness class before breakfast, then there's a nutrition session or a guided walk, lunch, and an afternoon that's either a second activity or free time. Dinners are cooked on-site and portioned for weight management, and the kitchen will adapt to allergies or dietary requirements if you flag them at booking. Over the five days you'll get one-to-one time with a nutritionist and a trainer to go over your current habits and set realistic targets for after you leave.
What separates this from a standard boot camp is the Ayurvedic angle. It's not hardcore detox — no juice fasts or colonics — but the meals lean on whole foods, spices, and lighter preparations, and the daily rhythm includes proper rest: an afternoon massage, a slow walk, time in the garden. The team's view is that stress and bad sleep make weight loss harder, so the schedule deliberately isn't packed from 6am to 9pm.
The setting is Plantation Villa at Ruxton Farm, a rural property in Herefordshire with a spa and massage facilities on site. You're in the countryside, not a city gym — expect fields, footpaths and quiet. The guided hikes use local trails and are pitched at a pace the whole group can manage.
Rooms are in the villa and range from a shared quad/triple to private en-suite, so you can choose how much privacy you want. Prices start at USD 964 per person for the shared quad and go up to USD 1,700 for a private room with its own bathroom. Everything is arranged directly with the retreat leader — you send a request, they confirm availability and final pricing, and cancellation terms are set by them and confirmed before any money changes hands.
It's a short, structured reset rather than a two-week overhaul. If you've been meaning to get back on track and want a week where someone else does the cooking and tells you what to do for a few days, this is designed for exactly that.
