The week starts on a Sunday and finishes on the Friday. Mornings typically cover breakfast, a country walk, a chef's demonstration and a health talk. Afternoons bring lunch, your included therapies and time in the Living Well Spa. Evenings are for relaxation classes and dinner. The team stresses that the timetable is guidance, not obligation: you can do as much or as little as feels right for your body, and a detailed itinerary is given on arrival.

The food is the part guests write about most. Meals are light and plant-based, with the option of adding lean protein or following a juice fast instead. Chef demonstrations show how the dishes are made so you can repeat them at home. One recent guest, who described herself as not vegan, said the food was 'out of this world' and that she never felt hungry despite small portions.

The exercise is supportive rather than punishing. Classes are led by trainers including Leanne, described by a guest as approachable and friendly, and there is a Nordic walk out into the surrounding countryside. The aim is to rebuild confidence in moving and find a level you can keep up after you leave.

The therapies are specific and hands-on. In the Rasul ritual you apply mineral-rich mud in a private cabin with dimmed lighting and fibre optic lights, sit in warm steam for 20 minutes, then shower it off. The Weight Loss Winner session combines body brushing with a G5 lymphatic massage. Pressotherapy uses controlled pressure on the legs to stimulate circulation, with a hand and arm massage given at the same time. A warm castor oil pack is applied over the liver during the pressotherapy treatment.

What separates this from a standard diet retreat is the combination of spa therapies, practical teaching and a small guest count across seventeen bedrooms. It is not a punishment-based programme. The stated aim is that you leave understanding your body better and with simple habits around food, movement, stress and sleep to carry on at home.
