Retreats

Bamboo Cottages hosts retreats the way a harbor hosts boats: quietly, securely, with room for everyone who needs to come in. Through the season our beach welcomes groups for yoga, meditation, writing, painting, detox and coaching retreats, each finding that the island does half the organizing for them.

A retreat week here has a natural shape. Mornings are for practice while the light is soft and the sand is cool. Midday belongs to shade, food and rest. Afternoons open up for workshops, treatments or excursions, and evenings dissolve into shared dinners and the sound of the tide. Groups dine together at one long table, and strangers become fellow travelers by the second night.

Teachers and organizers appreciate the practical side: a private stretch of beach for sessions, mats and props on site, reliable vegetarian and vegan menus, rooms that stay cool without air conditioning roaring, and staff who have watched dozens of retreats unfold and know when to help and when to disappear.

Individual guests are welcome to join scheduled retreats or simply build their own rhythm from our daily classes. Either way, the formula is the same: a beautiful shore, a gentle structure, and enough silence to hear yourself again.
