Parohe Island Retreat

I am a 55 year old male ( first time retreater ). By nature we are not drawn to an alcohol free, plant based food, Yoga and wellness retreat, by choice. However I absolutely loved the weekend. I wasn't fazed about the alcohol free, but am glad it was. I was concerned about the plant based diet, but actually loved the food and after three days was feeling less bloated, more awake, lighter, and generally not missing sugar or meat. I actually felt less hungry and less fatigued. The Yoga. I was worried about this as, I am typically ridged. After 4 sessions of various types of Yoga, I was more relaxed, more flexible, and came away with a changed mindset to the future of my fitness. I loved it. Overall I went into the weekend for my wife Janine, but came away with a new vibrancy. I found the other retreaters to be as much inspired as myself, the staff were all outstanding, and the entire weekend has seriously moved my thinking and direction. Thank you Janine for inviting me, Thank you Mel for your expertise in putting this together

Hands down, a truly beautiful experience. We did a wellness retreat and it was the perfect combination of amazing food (the chef was fantastic), forest meditation, sunrise yoga, paddle boarding on flat calm water and more. It was a true re-connect with nature. I was also able to have an amazing sauna and outdoor bath as well. Fantastic, clean accommodation - and the staff were all incredibly friendly. Highly recommend.

Switching off and escaping from the city was all I needed and found, at Parohe. The retreat offered exactly what I enjoy most - yoga, walking in the native bush, fresh healthy food, and a chance to let go of my every-day responsibilities. There's plenty of privacy if that's what you're after and equally the opportunity to connect with people when you want to...a great balance.

This beautiful island escape is located within a large city and is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Our medical team left work in the city on the Friday and had 2 magical days at Parohe unwinding with yoga, meditation, native bush, clean oceans and fantastic facilities. The accomodation is designed for privacy and total immersion in nature. The facilities included outdoor baths, sauna, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, sailing boats, badminton, croquet, swimming pool, archery and more. Something for everyone. The food is 5 stars and we left feeling the healthiest we’ve been in a long time. Thanks Parohe, see you next time.

An amazing island retreat with genuine and friendly staff, great food and accomodation and a wealth of activities at your disposal. Yoga, archery, massage, sauna, kayaking, badminton, croquet, walks, pool, outdoor baths, meditation classes and amazing food. Exceeded all expectations and am looking forward to going back. Highly recommended
