Aug 18th - Aug 25th Cliffs of Moher Retreat, Ireland
Aug 18th - Aug 25th
Imagine...
… Salty sea air on a mid-summer’s morning. Saluting the sun while surrounded by nature. Tucking into hearty, nutritious food that magically appears just when you need it – after a replenishing, deeply satisfying yoga practice.
The retreat involves yoga twice a day in our beautiful yoga studio with a wall of glass looking out at sea and the beautiful Clare countryside. With long nights we get to see the sunrise and the sunset from the studio and enjoy winter from the comfort of our toasty warm space. There will be meditation every day
On three mornings we will take you for a walk. One of the days we will bring you down by the sea to breathe in the fresh air and watch the waves. On another morning we will take you along the new Cliffs of Moher pathway, one of the most stunning walks in the world. On the third day we will wind our way along the rolling hills of the beautiful Clare countryside.
Mealtimes are a highlight of the retreat, with long decadent meals in our dining hall. The food is healthy, delicious and nutritious with delightful raw deserts to delight all your senses.
In between put your feet up with a book. Take a nap. Have a massage. This is the perfect way to ring in the new year, you will leave feeling like a new you!
Where is the event?
We warmly welcome you to The Cliffs of Moher Retreat. A purpose designed, luxury retreat venue set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, The Cliffs of Moher and the beautiful countryside of Co.Clare, Ireland. We are located on the west coast of Ireland and Europe just about the mid-point of The Wild Atlantic Way, a 400 Kilometre stretch along the Ireland’s rugged western coastline. We provide a variety of Retreats throughout the year.
Our retreat is set in the refurbished Moher Lodge Farmhouses. There are 3 buildings comprising of 5 houses. The bedrooms are divided among the 5 houses and each house has a shared communal area that is open to all guests. There is plenty of space for everyone to find a place for themselves, allowing you to be social if you feel like it, but also to have room to relax and take time to yourself.

What will my day look like?
Sounds ideal, right? We think so. That’s why we’ve worked hard to develop the kind of retreat that lets you reconnect with nature and yourself.

Our residential teachers know the intricacies of providing a retreat that’s both relaxing and energising, restorative and challenging – and of course, a lot of fun, too!

faq
- What time is check-in?
Check-in is at 4pm.
- My flight gets in earlier than the 4pm check in, can I come earlier?
We will be preparing the retreat centre at that time and if a group checked out that day your room will be not be ready if you are arriving very early. We recommend getting the taxi to drop off your bags and then taking you into Lahinch. We are isolated and there isn’t anywhere to get lunch but Lahinch has cafes, restaurants, shops and a lovely beach. Your taxi can arrange to collect you again later.
- Is there Wifi?
We have wifi for guests in our media room, a comfortable room to read, relax and get online if you want to.
- I'm coming on my own can you pair me to share?
We can pair you with someone of the same gender.
- I have specific dietary requirements, can you accommodate me?
Yes we can, please let us know before the retreat starts.
