Mind Detox & Yoga Wellness Retreat on the Red Sea

Anayata runs this retreat from the Hyatt Regency Aqaba, a five-star property set within the Ayla development on the Red Sea coast. The program is a 'mind detox,' which means it targets your mental and emotional state as much as your physical body. Each day there are group yoga classes, meditation sessions, and workshops led by a team of international coaches and healers. The schedule is rounded out with guided walks, breathwork, sound healing, and talks on how to keep the mental reset going after you leave.

What makes this different from a standard yoga retreat is the structured detox element. You'll be on a juice-only fast for the five days, supported by natural food supplements, an intestinal cleanser, and a liver flush drink. The team monitors you with daily check-ins and a body composition analysis at the start. It's demanding—most people feel hungry in short bursts—but reviewers say the energy comes back quickly and the mental clarity is the real payoff.

The host team comes from Thailand, where Anayata ran similar retreats for years, so this is a well-rehearsed program rather than a new venture. One of the co-founders, Simon Belcher, is a Reiki Master and Theta Healer, and sessions are led by a rotating international team. The retreat takes place year-round, so you can book it whenever suits you, and the location right by the Red Sea means you can also snorkel or dive on your free afternoons.
