For us, Zensi Retreat was love at first sight. Mat and I love beautiful interiors and spaces that cultivate wellness and inspiration. Zensi Retreat perfectly captures the balance between these elements. From the combination of earthy tones and textures complimented by sleek fixtures and soft linens, it sets the mood for soulful relaxation. On top of that, Ruby and Ray’s wellness vision resonates with our own in the sense that the heart of the experience is built upon balancing wellness and leisure. Zensi offers different styles of customised retreats fit for your group of friends, work team, and even couples who want to indulge in romance and relaxation.
Bespoke arrangements can be made at Zensi Retreat, aligning with our goal of offering you personalised wellness experiences that meet your preferences while achieving deep and lasting rejuvenation.
Zensi Retreat is a sanctuary where every element is designed to offer a deeply personalised and luxurious wellness experience.
When you book Zensi Retreat, you and your group of friends or colleagues have the opportunity to enhance your stay with additional services that make your time here truly unique. Imagine having an Ayurvedic chef prepare meals that nourish you on a cellular level, or a retreat-style facilitator guiding you through yoga sessions, meditation, or mindful practices that promote inner peace and rejuvenation.
Nestled in a serene environment, both the Villa and the House provide private pools, deep-soaking bathtubs, saunas, and fire pits. The Villa, with its dedicated indoor yoga space and custom in-ground jet spa, is ideal for those seeking a more immersive retreat experience.
A stay at Zensi Retreat means meeting your wellness goals while enjoying a balance between activities and relaxation. While you’re here, you can include as much or as little as you please, or even have a theme for your retreat. Enjoy a retreat that is thoughtfully designed, incorporating elements like digital detoxes, fun and mindful group games, gentle yoga, breathwork, and nature walks. Thinking of something more along the lines of pampering and indulgence? Facials and massages that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed can be arranged as well.
Both the House and Villa come with beautifully and fully equipped kitchens, a BBQ area in the House, and BBQ setup available in the Villa’s fire pit. The highlight of dining at Zensi Retreat though is the masterfully prepared dishes of their Ayurvedic chef who incorporates time-honoured techniques into each dish.
Ayurvedic dining is largely grounded in whole food ingredients with plenty of fresh produce. Zensi’s ethos includes the appreciation for nature’s bounty—how we are all from one Source and how Nature has so much to give. Here, dining is filled with good intentions, and a deep-rooted desire to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Imagine sharing a wonderful meal with your friends inside Zensi’s beautiful dining area…
