4 or 7 Day Holistic Happiness Holidays, Andalusia
Dates: Flexible check in dates
With flexible dates, you can check in and check out when you want.In this modern world “Happiness” and its popular sidekick “Well-Being” are the holy grail of our time.
One thing we know is that money can’t buy it- in fact on average people have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even though average incomes have more than doubled.
The good news is there are definitely things we can do to help- from working on our outlook, becoming more resilient, paying attention, practising gratitude and showing kindness to others.
In many ways happiness is an inside job but with a new age of spiritual enlightenment upon us we have a readily accessible cornucopia of ways to help from therapy to yoga, meditation and mindfulness, breathing techniques to practicing self care.
We have also realised that the mind-body connection is crucial to our overall wellness. What and how we eat, how and when we move our bodies have as much influence on our mental as our physical health.
Other crucial happiness habits have gradually been lost in our quest for “stuff”, the grind of the hamster wheel and our slavery to technology- Creativity, connection with nature, learning new skills and just merely being present and sensing the awe of the everyday.
We have devised The Happiness Holidays to bring a little bit of all of these things back into your life- Nature, Peace, Comfort, Tranquility, Culture, History, New places and experiences – as well as providing perfect spaces for you to relax, recharge and renew.

The neighbourhood where we are located is very quiet, secure and warm, so you can have all the facilities of being in a city, but in a soft and calm atmosphere.

5 Day Rejuvenation & Yoga Retreat at Adiwana Resort Jembawan, Bali
Dates: Flexible check in dates
Treat yourself to more than just pampering and spa experiences at the boutique wellness hotel, Adiwana Jembawan. This five day retreat starts with a hatha yoga class, pranayama and meditation. During the program your meals and spa treatment will be based on your wellness consultation result with the Ayurvedic Practitioner used to diagnose your Dosha.
Rejuvenation is often defined as the reversal of the ageing process. This contrasts with ‘life extension’ strategies that attempt to combat the causes of ageing in order to slow it down. Because rejuvenation is the reversal of ageing, the means employed to achieve it focus on repairing the damage caused by ageing and replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue.
While rejuvenation is one means to achieve extension of life, rejuvenation itself fundamentally affects a person by restoring aspects of youthfulness from the inside out. This retreat program is designed to reverse biological ageing and focuses on the quality of life instead of the mere prolongation of it. It is about enhancing your experience of life itself. You can also customise your own retreat package based on your personal needs both as an individual or part of a group.
