Description
Space, Stillness, Connection, Healing, Regulation, Clarity, Wisdom, Love, Joy, Alignment
This retreat has been lovingly designed to offer you the time and space to truly slow down.
In our busy, demanding lives filled with constant responsibility, the weight of action can build over time, often leading to burnout.
When we allow ourselves moments of rest and reflection, we open the door to clarity, wisdom, and guidance that serve our highest good.
Nestled in a peaceful, nature-rich setting with touches of luxury, this retreat is your sanctuary. Come to unwind, recharge, and gently elevate your energy.
Each morning begins in noble silence as we gather on the rooftop for a serene sunrise yoga and meditation practice.
You’ll be gently guided through the fundamentals of journaling, an empowering tool to process your thoughts, deepen your self-awareness, and awaken your creativity.
Afterward, a nourishing breakfast is served on the terrace. From there, the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
The invitation is to rest deeply and open yourself to receiving: read, write, swim, wander through nature, enjoy a treatment, or simply be—fully present, fully free.
You’ll enjoy a vibrant buffet lunch, nourishing both body and soul.
In the afternoon, you’re invited to join a workshop designed to deepen your journey. Each day brings a unique experience—perhaps breathwork, partner yoga, mantra singing, Yin Yoga, or a soothing Sound Bath.
As evening falls, savor a delicious three-course dinner and gently unwind, allowing your energy to settle in preparation for a restful night.

Your Retreat Host
Veronica Youdell
I am delighted to invite you to join me at Fawakay Villas. This will be my third retreat here and it is really starting to feel like a home from home.
My role as your guide and host is to ensure the you have a safe, nurturing experience filled with joy, love and peace.
This is where some of your healing and transformation can happen. This is where life long friendships are born. This is where you get to say yes to you, because you are valuable and you do deserve to live abundantly.
Prioritising your health and wellbeing will allow your cup to overflow and in turn you will be able to pour back into every aspect of your life.
I qualified as a yoga teacher in 2016 and made the decision to do so after going on a yoga retreat. I saw myself in new ways and was able to make healthier decisions after feeling stuck, depressed and demotivated.
I am excited to share this magical experience with a group of beautiful souls who are ready to say yes to new beginnings full of light and love.

Testimonials
Laura. A
I had the fortune and privilege of spending five days at Veronica’s divine feminine retreat in Spain this year, and it truly was a life changing few days.
I left the retreat feeling like a brand new woman, lighter, radiant and grateful. Truly wonderful!
Steven. H
As a first time experiencing a yoga retreat and yoga as a whole, I was very well looked after throughout the experience. Veronica was extremely patient with me and helping me understand the process behind all aspects of the retreat.
If you ever get the opportunity to experience one of Veronica's getaways I would highly recommend.
Gemma. H
For someone like me who has never done yoga or a retreat and was out of my comfort zone Veronica was helpful and understanding throughout and made me feel at ease at every turn.
