Fostering our own self-care with a much needed and deserved wellness break is one of the top ways to restore positive energy levels and reset our mind and body’s natural rhythms. As well as getting those tempos to tip-top levels, a retreat gives us the opportunity to recharge our batteries and take on healthier habits within a supportive environment. Changes that are made during a health retreat provide a steppingstone to a more balanced life and can have numerous long-lasting benefits.
The Lighthouse Retreat, the Middle East’s first year-round holistic wellness and detox retreat, is the perfect option for unplugging and nourishing the mind, body and soul. The sanctuary in Ras al Khaimah’s Al Hamra Golf Club was opened in 2020, with the intention of helping guests take a necessitated pause from their uber busy schedules and to create space for themselves to slow down and reconnect with their inner selves to find balance. An adult-only offering, the Lighthouse Retreat offers everything under one roof, including healing therapies like Reiki, Sound Mandala and Desert Grounding, as well as coaching, meditation, yoga and much more. The Lighthouse Retreat’s wellness programme is also supported by two healthy food options: a mostly raw plant-based meal plan or a liquid detox that includes juices, soups and smoothies. The food options do not include processed carbohydrates, meat, dairy products or caffeine, helping guests experience a truly detoxifying cleanse.
Here are some of the best ways to rejuvenate and detoxify at The Lighthouse Retreat, according to their experts.
