St Lucia Retreats

Our St Lucia retreats help reconnect people with nature, each other and themselves.

Many of our holistic retreats in Saint Lucia are wellness – centered, focusing on Detox retreats, Nutrition, Mind/Body healing, Yoga and Fitness.

Past retreats at our private retreat venue

For many decades, Balenbouche has also been a private retreat venue for spiritual retreats, family gatherings, educational workshops and field schools, arts and crafts events, cultural exchanges, concerts and destination weddings.

Retreat accommodations

We can sleep between 9 and 14 retreat participants in 10 separate rooms spread between 6 cottages.

Retreat meal packages

For groups, we typically offer an all inclusive package which includes meals. This often includes an early morning snack before a class or workshop, followed by a more substantial brunch or lunch, and a dinner around 6:30 pm. Our meals are freshly prepared using largely local and organic ingredients, and we can cater to all dietary needs.

Detox retreats
Some of our retreats are specifically geared towards detoxing and purifying the body and mind, and may include a special diet or periods of fasting and physical and emotional purging using trusted methods under strict supervision.

On-site retreat activities

The on-site yoga classes, workshops, massages and other therapies usually take place in our beautiful rustic historic barn. Classes and wellness services can also be booked year-round, individually, or as a package!

Transportation and group excursions

There is so much to see and do on the South Coast of St. Lucia, which is still very natural and authentic. We arrange all the airport transfers and excursions with our trusted taxi drivers who are also excellent tour guides. For groups, we typically recommend a catamaran sail which departs from the nearby charming fishing village of Laborie (half day snorkel or sunset sail), as well as a full day trip to Soufriere (popular attractions include the hot springs, Tet Paul trail, botanical gardens). There are also many off the beaten path nearby hidden gems to explore, such as the Devil’s bridge river canyon.

St. Lucia Retreats 2026

Relax and Revive Retreat in St. Lucia

February 28 – March 7, 2026

Josephine Russell hosted a wonderful yoga retreat at Balenbouche with a total of 13 participants this March. Josephine is a friend of our good friend and yoga instructor Liz who teaches yoga on Sundays at Balenbouche. This is often how things happen here in our tight knit St Lucia community, one of the things we love about island life. So after visiting Liz and the estate last year, Josephine decided to bring her students on a retreat. The group loved it and we arranged many excursions and meals out for them, including The Tet paul Trail, Hot springs, East Coast adventure, sunset catamaran sail and lunch at Mama Tilly’s in Laborie. Josephine and her group was sad to leave and are already planning another retreat for next year! 🙂

Peace and Calm Yoga Retreat

4 – 13 June, 2026

Annual Retreat!

This is one of the St Lucia retreats hosted every year by Mary Monrose Elke, who was the very first yoga teacher to host a retreat at Balenbouche Estate! Mary is from St Lucia and London and we have known her for over 20 years!

Deepen your practice of yoga and spend time with yourself and others in a spiritually aware (but not religious) atmosphere. An important aspect of this retreat is the chance to participate in karma yoga, or the creation of a co-operative, clean and helpful environment for the group. We encourage all participants to remain on the extensive and fascinating grounds of the Estate during the yoga retreat. Group outings will also be organized.

From the Ground Up: A Somatic Reset & Sacred Immersion
June 28 – July 5, 2026

This is not just a retreat—it’s a sacred homecoming.
Join us for a 7-night journey designed to gently reset your nervous system and reconnect you to your body’s innate wisdom. We weave together trauma-informed somatic practices, restorative yoga, Reiki rituals, and mindful meditation with immersive experiences in St. Lucia’s healing landscapes—from volcanic mud baths and tranquil waterfalls to cacao ceremonies and coastal sailing.

Each day is a step in rebuilding your foundation: safety, awareness, curiosity, emotional resilience, and deep integration. You’ll leave not just relaxed, but regulated, resourced, and rooted—carrying a lasting sense of calm and connection back into your daily life.

Find your ground. Heal from within.
