Yoga & Wellness Retreat in Vanuatu: 7 Nights Beachfront on Efate Island

The retreat is based at Reflections Retreat Vanuatu on Efate Island, on the edge of Havannah Harbour. The water is calm and clear, with coral reef close enough to snorkel from the shore. The property is described as a beachfront retreat set in lush tropical landscape, and the yoga sessions take place by the sea.

Each day has a fixed framework but space inside it. Yoga starts at 7:30am, breakfast is at 9am, and a tour or organised activity runs from about 10:30am. Lunch is at 1pm. The afternoon is left open for massages, private consultations, water activities or simply relaxing. A second yoga session is at 4:30pm, dinner at 6pm, and a reflection at 7:30pm closes the day. The sample itinerary is the same shape each day, with the 10:30am tour changing.

Included activities cover nature, culture, adventure and wellness. On the water you can swim, snorkel and kayak in Havannah Harbour and over the coral reef. One massage is included in the price, and further massages and private consultations are available in the afternoons.

The retreat is run by Karen of Karen Maree Yoga, who is the named contact for bookings. She handles enquiries personally: you fill in the booking form and she comes back to you with the information needed to reserve a place. The group is deliberately small, which is why the retreat is described as intimate and why spaces are limited.

Vanuatu sits in the South Pacific, and Efate is the main island, with Port Vila as its capital. Havannah Harbour is on the north-west coast of Efate, known for calm water and islands offshore. The retreat price of $3,800 excludes flights, so you arrange your own travel to Vanuatu; airport transfers are included once you arrive.
