Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Google reviews of the host, Bahia Mar.

Two yoga practices a day, one of them just for you. Each day pairs a one-on-one session (Hatha yoga, mindfulness meditation or pranayama breathing, two of each across the week) with a group class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: aerial, Hatha, Vinyasa or Yin.

The practice is led by Bahia Mar's own teachers. Susana, who has led the hotel's development for seven years, teaches Hatha, Aerial and Yin yoga. Gretha trained as a Hatha teacher in 2018 and has since qualified in Yin. Gerry of MindWise holds a four-year Masters in Mindfulness-Based Teaching from Bangor University in Wales and leads the meditation.

Between practices the spa takes over: a full-body relaxation massage, a foot treatment, reflexology, an Ayurvedic massage and Bahia Mar's signature water massage, all with local, organic products. Meals are full board with juices through the day, and one boat trip takes you out to the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago. Free afternoons are yours: the pool, the beach or Vilankulo itself. The retreat runs all year and you choose your own arrival day.
