Cuisine

All meals at Surya retreat are vegetarian or vegan. Our resident nutritionist Jo Dombernowsky genuinely believes in the power of food to improve health, energy and general wellbeing.

Using only the best ingredients, each meal is not only a chance to enjoy good food and good company, it’s a chance to learn about the benefits of nutritious eating.

After the morning session you will sit down to a delicious homemade brunch including fresh fruit salad, homemade marmalades, homemade bread, homemade yogurt, homemade muesli and homemade granola, a hot dish of the day (eggs, pancakes, porridge) and a choice of drinks including water, coffee, tea and herbal tea.

Five delicious and healthy evening meals are included within the cost of the course. The evening meals are bursting with flavour and completely in line with the retreat philosophy of providing vibrant, holistic food that guests are inspired to make back home.

What past guest have said

“Having visited Surya retreat 8 times I didn’t think that could improve but Surya goes beyond all my expectations; idyllic, restful, amazing food, beautiful people, pure bliss, hearts and kisses! Thank you to each and everyone of you to sharing this with me…I will be back.” Suzanna, UK

”I went to Surya retreat at a time in my life where I needed time to myself to reflect and heal. Their place was the perfect place to do that. It’s beautiful, peaceful and the combination of Yoga, Pilates, Reiki, massage, great company and delicious vegetarian food was just what I needed. I can’t wait to go back!.” Heida Reed (Star of BBC’s Poldark)

”I loved my week at Surya retreat. It was my first yoga retreat and I didn’t know what to expect. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. Though a bit out of the way, the retreat itself was very nice. It was clean and comfortable. What I love most by far was the teachers and staff. The teachers are so patient and very experienced. They guided us through different types of yoga, pilates and meditations. I learned a lot and also felt I was well taken care of.

The staff was so warm and tried to accommodate our needs with a smile. Food, oh the food there was heaven. As a meat eater, I was skeptical about the two vegan and vegetarian daily meal plan. However, as soon as I tasted the first meal, I didn’t want any meat. In fact, I love the food so much that I am cutting down on my meat consumption after I come back home. I can’t recommend enough. It is a place that you can’t help but feeling relaxed and happy.” Ali W
