Your 10-Day Retreat Itinerary

  • Your Mauritius Ocean Experience begins as you arrive on the beautiful island of Mauritius.

    You will be welcomed at the airport and transferred to your private retreat villa in Black River, where you can settle into your accommodation and meet your fellow guests.

    Enjoy welcome refreshments, explore the villa and take some time to relax after your journey.

    In the evening, gather for a welcome dinner and an introduction to the experience ahead.

  • Begin your morning with breakfast before heading out for your first guided ocean excursion.

    Accompanied by an experienced boat crew and appointed guides, discover the beautiful waters surrounding Mauritius, with opportunities to observe wild dolphins and other marine life in their natural environment.

  • Enjoy a slower start to the day, with breakfast followed by individual treatment appointments.

    Later in the morning, travel to the beautiful Le Morne Beach, known for its turquoise waters, white sands and views of the iconic Le Morne Brabant mountain.

    Spend time relaxing by the sea, enjoying the surroundings and sharing a leisurely lunch.

    Return to the villa in the afternoon for rest, pool time and personal relaxation before dinner.

  • Return to the ocean for your second planned guided excursion.

    Each outing provides another opportunity to appreciate Mauritius's marine environment, observe wildlife and enjoy the beauty of the Indian Ocean.

    After the morning excursion, return to the villa for lunch.

    The afternoon is dedicated to individual Gentle Birth Method treatments, relaxation and spending time together, followed by dinner and a peaceful evening.

  • Discover another side of Mauritius with a guided waterfall and nature excursion.

    Explore the island's tropical landscapes on a comfortable-paced walk, surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful natural scenery.

    The walk can be shortened or skipped according to individual needs and comfort.

    After lunch, return to the villa for an afternoon of personalised treatments, rest and relaxation.

    Enjoy a relaxed evening together.

  • Begin your morning with breakfast before setting out for your third planned guided ocean experience.

    Enjoy another opportunity to observe dolphins and other marine wildlife in their natural habitat, subject to sea conditions and wildlife activity.

    Return to the villa for lunch, followed by individual GBM treatments and time to enjoy the villa's peaceful surroundings.

    Spend the remainder of the day relaxing before dinner.

  • Enjoy breakfast before travelling to a wildlife park for a guided observation-based experience.

    Discover more of Mauritius's wildlife and natural surroundings while following the park's safety guidance.

    This visit focuses on observing wildlife rather than participating in close-contact animal activities.

    After lunch, return to the villa for individual treatments, relaxation and personal time.

    The evening is free for dinner and rest.

  • Head out for your fourth planned guided ocean excursion.

    Enjoy the beauty of the surrounding waters, with further opportunities to observe dolphins and other marine animals in their natural environment.

    Any whale sightings will depend on the season, weather conditions and natural wildlife activity.

    Return to the villa for lunch, followed by an afternoon of personalised treatments and relaxation.

    Enjoy a peaceful evening together.

  • Your final full day in Mauritius offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect and enjoy the surroundings.

    Depending on weather conditions and the agreed programme, an additional ocean outing may be possible, or this day may be used to rearrange an earlier excursion affected by the weather.

    Otherwise, enjoy a relaxing day at the villa, with time for treatments, rest and spending time together.

    In the late afternoon, gather for a closing session to reflect on the experiences shared throughout the retreat.

    Conclude your journey with a planned farewell dinner.

  • Enjoy a final breakfast and take some time to appreciate the peaceful surroundings before preparing for departure.

    Airport transfers will be arranged according to individual flight schedules.

    As your Mauritius Ocean Experience comes to an end, take home memories of the ocean, the island's natural beauty and the time spent together.
