Trusted by GUESTS just like you
Over 20 years of experience, trusted by thousands of guests.
I arrived feeling completely worn out and left calmer and more like myself than I have in years. Everything was so thoughtfully put together, I didn’t have to think about a thing.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded everything. The setting is incredible, and the way the retreat is held makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you arrive.

DATES
MAY 23-28
May the light returns in full, stretching into long, unhurried days that draw you outside from early morning into soft, evenings. There’s a clarity to May in Sweden, fresh air and open skies. Cool enough to awaken the senses, yet bright and expansive, it creates the perfect conditions for movement, water, and time outdoors.
STAY
Our retreat is set on a secluded island. We have our own dedicated accommodation in a mixture of cottages, with comfortable, thoughtfully designed rooms set close to the water and immersed in nature. Each space offers a peaceful place to rest. We have a private dining area where we gather for meals, and a dedicated fully equipped yoga space offering a serene setting overlooking the sea.
ACTIVITY
SWIM
Alongside daily mornign sea dips, take part in a guided swimming experience, that invites you into the water with confidence, exploring some of the archipelago’s most secluded swim spots.
KAYAK
Enjoy a day trip by kayak along the Stockholm Archipelago Trail. A network of paddling routes that wind through the magnificent archipelago. Flow between the islands and pause at natural harbours, cliffs, and quiet sandy beaches along the way.
HIKE
Enjoy hiking along the Stockholm Archipelago Trail, with time to take in the landscape, pause by the water for a picnic, and settle into the rhythm of the islands.
EXPLORE
Visit the glorious island of Bullerö, at the heart of the new national park in Nämdöskärgården. This fully guided excursion offers a glimpse into local culture, history, and life within the archipelago.
YOGA
Yoga on this retreat is led by Zest Life founder Laura Bell, who brings over 20 years of teaching experience.
Rooted in Ashtanga, her approach has evolved into a fluid vinyasa style—focused on building strength, creating space in the body, and helping you feel grounded and present.
Open to all levels, each day includes a morning vinyasa flow to gently awaken the body, and an evening restorative session to help you unwind.
The practices are designed to support the rhythm of the retreat, balancing the intensity of cold water swimming with breath, alignment, and deep relaxation.
Always guided, never pushed.
WELLNESS
SAUNA
Overlooking the sea, the on site sauna, nestled in the trees, becomes a place to slow down and fully unwind.
Each afternoon, you return to our private sauna session. Much needed warmth after the cold water, allowing your body to soften, your breath to deepen, and your whole system to reset.
EAT
This retreat features a plant-based menu designed to support recovery and nourish your body after each day.
To ensure the highest standard, our Zest Life chef Kimberly Parsons will be joining us in Sweden, preparing fresh, seasonal meals that are both delicious and energising. Expect vibrant dishes that refuel you after time outdoors. All of our retreats are alcohol-free. All meals are included on this retreat.
