It’s neither. Our focus is on restoring the mental & emotional wellbeing of our guests. Sometimes a yoga retreat is just not enough. All too often we prioritise our physical health, over our mental wellbeing looking to spas & fitness retreats as a way of fast-tracking ourselves back into gear. Whilst a massage and HIT class have their place, they play just a small part in keeping our minds as well cared for as our bodies. Hikes on Table Mountain, yoga on the lawn and drumming sessions on the sunny terraces are just as restorative as a punishing workout.

BEYOND the perimeter of the property, you will embark on guided hikes on Table Mountain, take mediative walks through fragrant forests, and participate in equine therapy. And remember, back at camp you’ll be greeted with nourishing meals, friendly faces, luxurious rooms, massages and time by the pool.

This retreat has a purpose. It exists to change lives. (It is not for those who wish to spend all day, every day by the pool, although there is time for that too!). We help our guests journey BEYOND their current circumstances to rebuild their self-esteem and restore their emotional and mental wellbeing.

If you have deep issues to work through, or any form of trauma then this is for you. We have created a unique retreat-type community space that will hold and guide you with kindness and compassion, during time of uncertainty, pain, and fear. Expect to be challenged. You will return home a different person to the one that arrived.

Humbled by the majesty of the surrounding mountains and the big African sky, just being here grounds us. This is undeniably one of the most beautiful places in the world. Cape Town provides the ultimate restorative landscape, a tonic of restoration and rejuvenation for the mind, body and soul. Travel can do wonders for our health, and importantly gives our guests the opportunity and space they need to pause from their day-to-day reality. It is in this time & space that deep positive change happens, and BEYOND.

Set against the back drop of Table Mountain, in magnificent park like gardens is this gracious Cape Colonial homestead. There are 15 luxurious en-suite bedrooms. Some are in the historic manor house, some overlook the magnificent gardens, others have terraces looking over the crystal clear pool. All are beautifully furnished in the style of a grand and gracious English manor.

No. However, we know change is almost impossible in isolation and although sharing a room isn’t compulsory, it is recommended. Choose between sharing with a retreat guest or friend/partner or booking a private double room. There is limited availability for single room occupancy, and although it costs more, do what works for you. A shared room is perfect for a couple, two friends, or solo retreaters looking to make a new friend.

Yes, we have wi-fi, and understand there will be times when connection to the outside world is unavoidable. However, we ask you to use your phones and other devices in your room to preserve the calm energy of BEYOND and to respect the privacy of all our guests.

Every BEYOND experience is all inclusive. This is a place where meaningful interaction replaces transactions. Using our expertise, we have created an experience where everything is tailor-made for you and your needs with no additional add-ons once you are here.

Accommodation and all meals are included. Daily hikes, individual and group therapy, all therapeutic activities, and a body treatment on each full day are also included in the price. For more information, please contact us at info@beyond-retreat.co.uk.
The prices does NOT include flights or travel insurance.

Twenty is our magic number. From experience this number is the perfect balance. It allows time for individual attention, and also provides enough of a crowd to ensure connections are made during the journey we take together, but not so many you feel lost.

Bring things you will be comfortable in, and a few nice things if you feel like dressing up (no pressure). The weather in October (spring time) can be changeable. It can be hot, it can be cool, it may rain, so pack a jumper or two and perhaps a light rain jacket.

You will need comfortable walking shoes. Paths can be stony. Yoga requires a bit of flex. So don’t forget the practicalities. There are snuggly white bath robes, slippers, and organic aromatherapy lotions and potions. If you forget anything we can always sort it out while you are here. One thing is for sure, you will definitely be traveling home lighter without the mental/emotional baggage!
