WHAT YOUR FIJI RETREAT WILL LOOK LIKE

Take what you need from our below schedule. This week is designed for you to rest, relax and recover. There is no judgment if you prefer to have a sleep-in, instead of joining a morning Yoga or Pilates class.

We have deliberately opted for a different kind of itinerary for this blissful yoga retreat in Fiji. Besides your Yoga, Pilates and meditation sessions, and a complimentary 30 minutes relaxation massage, you get to fill the rest of your schedule with the things you love.

The venue has many free activities for you to enjoy, from snorkelling to stand-up paddle boards, to kayaking and reef golf. Lounge by the pool, shoot some pool or play volleyball or croquet, and swing in a hammock while reading books from your favourite author.

We encourage you to embrace deep rest by disconnecting from your to-do list and digital devices, and do the things you rarely get time for at home.

You can also book a trip to a local village, embark on a guided rainforest hike or spend a day in the sun on ‘picnic island’ (charges apply – please check our FAQ’S)

FIJI RETREAT HOSTESS

Your hostess for this yoga & Pilates retreat in beautiful Fiji is Retreat Here founder Sabijn Linssen. Sab was born in the southern-most part of The Netherlands and has lived in several different countries such as France, the UK and – of course – Australia. She is easygoing and down to earth, which reflects in her Yoga retreats as well as the type of guests she attracts.

 

Sabijn Linssen – founder Retreat Here and your hostess in Fiji

 

Many of her previous retreat guests have stayed in touch over the years, and about 80% of them are repeat guests, which speaks volumes about how genuine the connections are. Sab takes pride in making everyone feel welcome and Retreat Here has now grown into a lovely community of likeminded women who love good food & wine, travelling and of course, Yoga, Pilates & meditation.

TYPE OF YOGA & PILATES CLASSES

Sab’s Yoga & Pilates sessions will always be catered towards all levels of fitness. We do recommend having done a few classes prior to your retreat in order to make your retreat experience better. Having said that, you definitely do not have to be a Yoga-pro, nor do you need to be able to touch your toes! In addition, adjustments will be given to women who need it, and challenges provided to those who want them.

You can expect flowing mat Pilates classes followed by soothing stretches. In your Pilates classes you will work towards strengthening glutes, arms and core muscles (front and back!) – which will ultimately help you in your yoga practice.

Sab’s Yoga classes are Vinyasa based and you can expect to flow through sequences that are creatively put together whilst you try to link your breath with each movement. This helps to get you ‘out of your head’ and ‘into your body’. Evening classes are more restorative such as yin Yoga or Yoga nidra.

CANCELLATION TERMS

  • Cancellations have to be confirmed in writing by emailing sab@retreathere.com.
  • Cancellations received between 0 and 89 days prior to the start date of your booked retreat: No refund or transfer.
  • Cancellations received prior to 90+ days from the start of your retreat, you will forfeit the deposit, and any instalments paid according to your payment schedule.

READ OUR MOST RECENT GOOGLE REVIEWS

The May 2026 Retreat Here Tropical Thailand Yoga & Pilates Retreat was absolutely fantastic. Sab, founder and retreat host, delivered a wonderful week in beautiful Koh Lanta. Each day included a morning and an afternoon class of yoga or pilates, along with activities such as massages, a cooking class and four-island boat trip. There was ample free time for pool and sea swimming, socialising and solo time, with group sunset cocktails and dinners. Sab's classes are well planned and cater to different fitness levels, experience and preferences. She even finds a way to bring laughter into her classes. The venue Sab had selected was eco friendly, with an onsite restaurant and cafe serving delicious and nutricious meals by friendly and efficient staff. (An added bonus for me was a resident beagle named Pip.) I would highly recommend Retreat Here for women seeking a relaxing break with some movement, wine, good company and laughter.
I’ve recently returned from another Retreat Here retreat, this time in beautiful tropical Thailand, and I couldn’t rate the experience highly enough! From the daily smoothies and pool bathed in frangipanis, to the nightly cocktails in front of the most spectacular sunsets, it was perfect from start to finish. My poolside bungalow was cosy, spotless and had a gigantic, comfortable bed. Sab (Retreat Here’s founder and our host) led two classes daily including Pilates, Vinyasa, Yin, Breathwork, and Meditation. She is a truly exceptional teacher who creates a warm, welcoming environment and genuinely caters to every level from beginner to experienced. There is absolutely no pressure to join if you would rather chill by the pool or go for a walk. The food was outrageously good and there were plenty of optional activities on top of the twice-daily classes; massages, a Thai cooking class (with the funniest chef ever), and a stunning boat trip around the bay. Best of all were the women I met. Sab has a real gift for bringing together kind, like-minded women from all over. Thank you Sab for another incredible experience, you're one of a kind. I can’t wait for the next one!
I cannot recommend Retreat Here highly enough. I have been to many retreats and by far my favourite has been with Retreat Here. The key was it was balance. I felt held by the structure of the week and I was able to go slow with the freedom of choice and space to be with myself. The host brought a community of women together who made my experience memorable. It’s one of those experiences where you feel comfortable being in a group of amazing women and feeling comfortable to also be on your own as you need. Another element of balance was the harmony of yoga, healthy food, fun activities and sunset cocktails. Everything was taken care of - the mind, the body, the heart and the soul. In practical terms, the yoga, Pilates and meditation classes, the food, the drinks (smoothies and a cocktail if you desired), massages and outings. I left with lifelong connections and a sense of fulfilment. Thanks!
I recently attended a Retreat Here retreat in Thailand (18–25 April 2026), hosted by Sab, and it exceeded all expectations! Everything ran exactly as outlined in the itinerary—no surprises, just a smooth, well-organised experience from start to finish. The twice-daily classes were a real highlight. The mix of Pilates, yin yoga and breathwork was thoughtfully planned and paced perfectly, making it accessible and enjoyable for all levels of ability. Sab was an exceptional host—professional, warm, and genuinely attentive. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She handled all the logistics seamlessly, from organising transfers to ensuring transport was arranged for excursions, which made the entire experience stress-free. What I loved most about this experience was the flexibility. There’s absolutely no pressure—you can do as much or as little as you like, which makes it ideal whether you’re looking to fully immerse yourself or simply unwind. The true highlight of the trip, though, was the incredible group of women. Being surrounded by such a calibre of strong, supportive and inspiring women from all walks of life was something really special. I’ve come away with genuine, lifelong friendships—many formed over cocktails by the beach!! The accommodation at the Oasis Bungalows in Koh Lanta was amazing. Great staff, incredible food and location. The yoga space was magical and it made the classes very special. Would I travel with Retreat Here again? HELL YES! Would I recommend this company to friends? AGAIN YES!
I have recently been on a retreat to Koh Lanta, Thailand. It was absolute perfection. The retreat was exactly what I needed and included twice daily yoga, lots of time for relaxation, massages and some local tours including a cooking class, and a boat trip snorkelling and visiting nearby islands. The location was perfect, close to the beach allowing time for many swims, beach walks and a nightly sunset cocktail. Sab is an exceptional yoga teacher- truly one of the very best. She makes her classes extremely inclusive and accommodates all levels and abilities. Sab designs her retreats that allow you to get what you are wanting from it. The way she connects people on retreats is masterful- whether you are attending the retreat on your own or with a friend - you will always feel included and Sab makes sure you are at ease from the get go. It’s not like other yoga retreats- you still get to enjoy a coffee and a wine or cocktail with dinner ( if that is your thing!). I have been fortunate enough to enjoy four retreats with Retreat Here, and each time I leave rested , with my cup full from many laughs with wonderful people, lots of yoga and memories to last a lifetime. Truly a 10/10 experience .
As always Retreat Here did not let me down. Destination Thailand was beautiful and villas amazing. Well organised as usual and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I could not have asked for anything more it was a 100% total package. Thanks Sab you excelled as always Thanks Sab 😘
I just returned from Retreat Here’s Thailand retreat in Ko Lanta and I cannot speak more highly of the entire experience. From my first chat with Sab (Retreat Here’s owner) over the phone to the booking process, everything was so easy. The retreat included all of the main things (accommodation, food, a few drinks with dinner, a daily smoothie, some activities, massages) and Sab was able to assist with organising transfers to/from the airport to the venue (additional cost). (Flights at own cost). The venue was perfectly set up for the retreat, with comfortable rooms, a yoga shala, beautiful food and the perfect location (2 minutes from the beach and a short walk into town for massages, convenience store, 7/11 etc). Sab’s classes throughout the week were incredible - she is an experienced Pilates and yoga teacher and made the space safe and comfortable for everyone’s individual abilities. There was also no pressure to attend the classes if you wanted to sleep in or have a swim instead. There was one class each morning (to start the day) and another each afternoon (before sunset cocktails). The group of women who attended were a highlight of the trip. It was such an amazing group who came together from different walks of life. We all had fun throughout the week, shared lots of laughs, great food and yoga and Pilates but there was also plenty of time for yourself if you wanted to tuck away with a book. What I loved about this retreat was the balance between rest, delicious and nutritious food and yoga/pilates. There was also the option to attend a cooking class and the four islands boat trip which were fantastic additions to the trip and optional (there was never any pressure to attend the classes or optional activities). I have returned home feeling very refreshed and I could not more highly recommend Retreat Here for those looking for a retreat experience that is full of balance.
I went on Retreat Here’s recent Yarra Valley retreat and it met all of my expectations. It was relaxing and easygoing. The food was incredible (even though I’m not vegan) and Sab was a wonderful host.
We had yet another fantastic experience in the Yarra Valley. Sab always hosts a fun, relaxed time with excellent food and yoga. Along with a wine tasting from Steelsgate we enjoyed a swim and were treated to kangaroos playing and kookaburras laughing during our yoga!
I went to Retreat Here's 2025 Bali retreat, held at the beautiful Sumberkima Hill in the North West of the island - an area I'd never ventured to before on previous trips to Bali. It was stunning, set amongst the hills overlooking the ocean and the volcanoes of Java in the distance - it was definitely worth the journey to get there. Our villa with private pool was incredible, my room being situated right on the pool's edge. As a solo traveller, I enjoyed having my own space but still being connected to the group of fantastic women whose company I thoroughly enjoyed. Days fell into a welcome holiday rhythm of yoga - breakfast - spa treatment - lunch - pool time - yoga - cocktail hour - dinner - night swim. The food was delicious and generous, and Sab is such a wonderful yoga & Pilates instructor and a fun, kind host. It was the perfect trip to celebrate my 50th birthday. I highly recommend retreating with Sab - near or far!
I’ve just recently returned from the most incredible yoga and Pilates retreat on Toberua Island in Fiji, hosted by Sab from Retreat Here, and I honestly can’t put into words how amazing the experience was. This was my first solo trip overseas without my husband and kids, and while I had moments of hesitation before leaving, it ended up being one of the most empowering and transformative things I’ve ever done for myself. From the moment I arrived on Toberua Island, I felt completely embraced by the energy of the place — peaceful, grounding, and beautifully simple. Sab, was nothing short of phenomenal. Her teaching was intuitive, heartfelt, and incredibly balanced. She held space for everyone in such a warm and supportive way, blending yoga and Pilates in a way that felt both gentle and deeply strengthening. I felt seen, challenged, and cared for in every session. One of the unexpected gifts of this retreat was the other guests. Traveling solo, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the group was full of friendly, open-hearted women from different walks of life. There was so much laughter, deep conversations, and new friendships. What made this retreat so special wasn’t just the classes or the island (though both were incredible), but the space it gave me to reconnect with myself. As a wife and mum, it’s so easy to pour everything into others and forget what it feels like to just be. This retreat gave me that space, to breathe, to move and to find myself again. I came home feeling grounded, strong, and deeply grateful. If you’re considering a retreat, especially as a solo traveler, I can’t recommend Retreat Here and Sab enough. Toberua Island was the perfect backdrop for what truly became a life-changing experience.
Have just returned from the best yoga holiday in Fiji and have never laughed so much and had so much fun with a great small group of ladies. The island venue was amazing, food was to die for, I loved Sab's yoga and Pilates classes with a focus in the evenings on a slow down class while the mornings were more energising to wake you up. Would definitely recommend!
Great yoga holiday! Sab is a fantastic yoga & Pilates teacher, the island was stunning with lots to do and delicious food. Only downside was the week went by too quick!
I have been to many of Retreat Here's amazing retreats and this one at King Parrot (in the Otways) did not disappoint. The location was great and was surrounded by beautiful views. Sab, the instructor was an awesome teacher and a fantastic host! The food was healthy and delicious (shout out to Izzie, the Chef). Bring on the next one!
Thank you Sab for giving me exactly what I needed from this retreat. Well thought through yoga and pilates classes (suitable for all levels), home cooked, pure & simple (don't underestimate the power of 'simple') food & fun company! Super friendly hosts and an amazing tranquil setting with lots of olive trees & a hammock you can't go wrong really. Thank you for being available and quick in responding to any questions I had, you certainly know your stuff, see you again soon I'm sure.
November 2024: I’ve started losing count of the number of Retreat Here retreats I’ve done since discovering them in 2022. Sab, the Founder/host/instructor offers everything I was looking for. I’m not a regular yogi, and welcome/closing circles are just not my thing. I simply want some downtime from everyday life but with exercise and self-care as the focus. I love socialising but also appreciate having time to myself. I don’t eat red meat but enjoy seafood. Sab accommodates all this, plus some. Each retreat has included a great balance of organised activities in addition to yoga classes. From pasta making, cheese tasting, boat cruising, winery lunch, Greek dancing, sound baths, sunset cocktail, massages….the list goes on, depending on the retreat. Kefalonia Island in Greece was my latest treat. Traditional cuisine which has an Italian influence, prepared by a local cook just for us for both brunch and dinner, with fruit and snacks ensured we never went hungry. Two pools and the yoga deck all amongst olive trees. Different accommodation options of single or twin rooms, with private or shared bathrooms gave some options based on preferences or finances. A driver to take us 10 minutes to town or on a day trip was a mere phone call away. The Mediterranean Sea and beaches were a five minute walk downhill/10 minute uphill. Plenty of choices to fill the days between morning class and brunch and evening classes. And no judgement from Sab if you sat/slept a class out. Since my last post in 2023 I’ve attended a mix of city-escapes, local (regional Victoria), and international retreats. Everything advertised on the website and in the itineraries was well and truly delivered. So much so that I’ve signed up for all three international retreats and one regional Victorian retreat in 2025. Thank you Sab! ********************************* The 2023 Bali retreat was the third I’ve done with Retreat Here. I’ve another three more booked across the next 12 months. Sab is unpretentious and welcoming, with all levels of yoga accommodated. The catering is always amazing, regardless of which venue we are at. From the Victorian bush, to Bali beaches, and even a city -day retreat, there’s a destination for everyone. I’ve made great friendships through socialising, but also get to have solo time. Thanks Sab. You’re my go-to for yoga retreats.
Another wonderful yoga retreat provided by the beautiful & dedicated Sab. I have been on a number of Sab’s retreats both domestic & international & I can’t recommend them or her highly enough. Sab’s meticulous, detailed planning & excellent yoga instructing always provides me with balance & clarity. I have already booked in for Tuscany 2025, as I know with Retreat Here I will get the experience I’m looking for. Upon reading the itinerary, all my expectations were met & then some. Kefalonia was everything I had hoped for. The venue was in a serene peaceful location with excellent facilities & our beautiful super comfortable villa cleaned daily, bed made & fresh towels provided, a well-balanced selection of home-cooked food including fruit provided daily, a range of fun activities were planned & transportation provided. The hosts of the venue were extremely warm, friendly & accommodating & it was obvious they have been providing successful yoga retreats regularly. Doing yoga for over 30+ years, I’ve always found Sab’s high-level instructing skills accommodating for all levels, wherever you are within your practice. Whether you’re new or advanced, you can be you with no judgement. She is patient & dedicated to her students & supports you in making your practice an enjoyable fun experience. Sab’s practices take me to a place of calm. Twice daily yoga & Pilates classes were absolutely perfect & I always walked away with balance & peace, additional activities of sound healing was an exceptional moving experience, relaxing massages under the winding olive groves, an informative & interactive winery visit, a captivating fun boat trip, relaxing by the pool & energetic Greek dancing, a fun great team building activity. I have made the most incredible life lasting friendships with some amazing positive like-minded women & always walk away with the inner peace & clarity I was searching for. It’s disappointing a small number of attendees had such unrealistic expectations. Thankfully Sab’s highly accommodating & vibrant positivity in creating such a beautifully balanced retreat helped to ensure my own positive experience & realistic expectations were met. I would highly recommend thoroughly reading the itinerary prior to attending any yoga retreat to ensure it aligns with your expectations. I attend yoga retreats to find inner peace, positivity, balance & clarity. So if this is what you’re looking for…Retreat Here is definitely for you. It’s all about balance! 🧘‍♀️🙏
I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a retreat in Greece, and it was truly an unforgettable week. Set in a stunning location, the retreat featured fantastic yoga, pilates, and a sound bath, complemented by delicious food and a variety of activities. There was also ample downtime to relax by the pool and enjoy massages. Kefalonia was also a wonderful island, with so much to see, incredible scenery and well worth spending more time on beyond the retreat to explore properly. Sab, the retreat planner, host, and yoga teacher, is exceptional. Her meticulous planning and detailed itinerary ensured everything ran smoothly. Before booking, you can easily review the itinerary on her website, and she’s always ready to answer any questions, helping you confirm that Retreat Here aligns perfectly with your expectations. We practiced yoga twice a day, and Sab skillfully accommodated all levels, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and supported in class. Our days included delightful brunches and dinners, with snacks available throughout. The brunch spread was a treat, featuring fresh fruit, yoghurt, overnight oats, eggs, and many more wonderful delicacies. Dinner showcased local dishes with shared starters and beautifully prepared main courses, so we were never in need of lunch—though there were options nearby if you wanted a midday snack or drink by the water. The food was fresh, local and exactly what you would expect in Greece! The itinerary was well-balanced. While there were scheduled activities, you could opt for extra relaxation time by the pool or beach if that’s what you needed. Highlights included a fantastic boat trip to three swimming spots, a lovely onboard lunch, a winery visit with wine tasting, and an optional olive grove walk. We also enjoyed incredible massages on-site, a nearby beach just a short walk away, and a fun evening at a local taverna as well as a Greek dancing lesson one afternoon. If the idea of morning yoga, a swim in the pool, brunch, activities and relaxation and evening yoga followed by a delicious dinner appeals to you, this retreat is perfect. Sab’s passion for yoga, balance, travel, and fostering connections among like-minded individuals shines through. The accommodation was wonderful, in beautiful villas, very typical to Europe and in particular Greece. The onsite owners and staff of the villas were so accommodating, friendly and wonderful. I can’t recommend these retreats enough—I'd give it ten stars if I could!
I have been on multiple retreats now through Retreat Here and will continue to do so as each retreat is fantastic. Sab is genuine and welcoming and you can easily attend as a solo traveller, knowing that the other attendees are going to be like minded and the company enjoyable. I have recently returned from the retreat held in Kefalonia, Greece, which included thoughtful 2x daily yoga, pilates and meditation classes along with some fabulous additional inclusions. Sab is an amazing instructor who is able to design classes that take all levels of ability and any physical limitations into account, making the classes accessible for everyone. The Greece venue was in a more secluded area, allowing for relaxation by the pool, lounging at the property or a short walk to a beach cove. The outlook from the accommodation was stunning, with amazing views of the water. As with all of Sab’s retreats, the scheduling was a blend of planned activities and free time, allowing you the space to either relax at the property or head out and explore according to your preferences on the days where an included activity was not scheduled. Brunch’s each day included a variety of selections including salad, overnight oats, fresh fruit salad, Greek yoghurt, fresh honey sourced from the venue, fresh bread with various spreads, a different egg based dish each day and a changing slice or cake. Dinners each evening started with a salad and freshly made dips and bread, followed by a local specialty dish (one evening was stuffed capsicum and tomato, another was a vegetarian version of Kefalonia Pie as examples). Also included in the retreat were transfers to and from the airport, a private full day boat tour, a local winery trip including tastings, a full body massage, a Greek dancing lesson, a sound healing meditation and a dinner out at one of the local restaurants. In addition to the above is the opportunity to create enduring friendships with the other attendees. As a regular solo traveller and attendee, it was a pleasure to be able to come along to the Kefalonia retreat with friends originally made through previous retreats. I can’t recommend Retreat Here highly enough for creating retreats that allow you the space to move your body, focus on YOU, provide the opportunity for deep relaxation and the ability to strengthen connections with like-minded women.
I’ve just returned from my second Bali retreat with Sab and Retreat Here and it was just as amazing as the first one! The perfect blend of peace and relaxation, a beautiful yoga practice, energetic Pilates, mouth-watering food, delicious cocktails, and lovely company. Sab is a very special yoga teacher and an amazing host, bringing together like-minded women from all over. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a totally experienced yogi or an absolute beginner, going solo or with friends - you will be completely cared for. I will be going on many more retreats! :)
An incredible week with amazing ladies. Bliss after Bliss! Sab is a fabulous technical instructor while creating a fun, relaxed vibe!! Loved every minute
What an amazing experience! I attended the Bali retreat solo, Sab was wonderful. I immediately felt comfortable and loved every minute. The yoga and Pilates classes were tailored to meet everyone’s needs/ abilities. The food and cocktails were delicious. The setting so lush! A completely relaxing experience, that was so well organised. I can’t wait to attend another one soon!
I have just come back from the June women's only "Retreat Here" Bali yoga retreat, in the stunning Uluwatu region. I highly recommend this experience to any woman who wants to take time out to really look after themselves, both physically and mentally. Sab is a fantastic yoga and pilates teacher - she is calm but funny, and very skilled at creating sessions that, with her support, fit any level of fitness/skill level. The venue was gorgeous, as well as being private - it was so beautiful doing yoga beside the pool, and the rooms were super comfortable. We were close walking distance to an abundance of shops and restaurants, and a short drive away from amazing local sites - Uluwatu temple with its Kecak fire dance performance, the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, and the"Single Fin" surf bar to name a few. The food was delicious and varied, and the cocktails were divine. Sab always creates an environment that feels very safe, friendly and relaxed.  She made sure that everyone was happy and had exactly what they needed - if they didn't she would be on to it immediately. I think the retreats are exceptional value for money. If you are trying to decide whether or not to book a retreat with Sab, I would say do it! Your body and your mind will thank you.
I have just finished my second retreat with Sab in the Yarra Valley and I have arrived home feeling healthy, relaxed and more than ready to tackle the week ahead. Once again, the weekend was full of incredible yoga/pilates, amazing food, like minded people and of course, wine! I’m already thinking about my next retreat. If you’re reading this review because you’re looking for a yoga/Pilates retreat either solo or with friends - then stop searching, you’ve found it!
Back from a totally relaxing retreat in Bali with Retreat Here. The venue was amazing. The food was delicious and of course there were the cocktails! Sab’s daily yoga sessions were varied and fun. And I made a group of new friends. Highly recommend!

Not entirely. You can find a full list of inclusions in the listing above, but as a rough guide: All your meals, airport transfers, boat transfer to and from the island, daily yoga, meditation and Pilates, a welcome cocktail and a 30 mins relaxation massage are included.

Not included:

  • Flights to and from Fiji
  • Any transfers that take place outside of your arrival and departure day
  • Travel Insurance
  • Any accommodation prior to or after your retreat
  • Alcoholic beverages that are not part of the itinerary
  • Barista made coffees

IS IT SAFE TO DRINK TAP WATER?

Yes. Toberua Island Resort purifies their water through a reverse osmosis desalination plant. It is then filtered via a state of the art ultraviolet filtration plant, making it safe to drink.

WILL WE HAVE THE WHOLE ISLAND TO OURSELVES?

Maybe. But most likely not. As you might know, we like to keep our yoga retreat experiences small and intimate. To hire out the whole island, we need a min. of 35 women.

We will stick with our signature concept of inviting between 10 and 15 guests in order to give you the personalised service that you deserve.

Toberua Private Island Resort offers 16 bures (traditional Fijian Bungalows), meaning that we might be sharing the island with a few other guests.

Rest assured that we have our own private yoga space in our communal 3 Bedroom Villa, and with four acres of greenery and sandy beaches, Toberua guarantees enough space and privacy to have the most relaxing yoga retreat in Fiji.

WHERE DO WE PRACTICE YOGA & PILATES

For this yoga retreat in Fiji we will get access to a beautiful 3-bedroom villa which will become our communal space for the week. Most movement classes will be held here, either indoors (with a view of the beach) or outdoors on the beach, depending on the weather and shade options.

DO I NEED TO BOOK TOURS AND EXTRAS IN ADVANCE?

No. Tours and extras (such as more massages) can be booked upon arrival. Also note that activities and massages, tours and trips can change at short notice. Retreat Here has no control over this.

ARE TRANSFERS INCLUDED IN THIS FIJI RETREAT?

Yes, but only if you fly into Suva-Nausori airport. You will be greeted at the airport by Toberua Island Resort staff, and they’ll take you to Nakelo Landing by private vehicle, followed by a 30 minutes scenic boat ride to the resort. You will have to advise us of your flight details at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the retreat.

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

100% yes. Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory to join our international retreats.

WHAT WEATHER CAN I EXPECT IN FIJI?

Although we can never predict the weather – September is a great month to visit Fiji.

Winter in Fiji falls between April and October, with an average daytime temperature of 27C and water temperature of approx. 24C.

CAN I JOIN YOUR FIJI RETREAT WITH A FRIEND AND SHARE A ROOM?

Of course. We offer twin share rooms and you can write each other’s name in the booking form so we know who to pair you up with.

LASTLY, DO YOU WELCOME SOLO TRAVELLERS AT YOUR YOGA RETREAT IN FIJI?

Absolutely. We love welcoming women who travel alone and who retreat alone. Because of the pricing structure at Toberua Resort, your default accommodation is a private room. At Retreat Here, we always try to keep prices fair and as affordable as possible. If you prefer to save money by being paired up with another female traveller, you can let us know upon booking. However, the twin share room is not guaranteed.

For our Sri Lanka Retreat, and all of our yoga retreats in Victoria, we can guarantee a twin room (if still available).
