Parrot Cay Shambala Retreat

More a spiritual and yoga retreat than a spa, this is the ultimate island experience for inner restoration. Shambhala means ‘peace and harmony’ in Sanskrit, and this spa focuses on detoxification, meditation and yoga, with many week retreats. A great way to harmonise mind, body and spirit through extremely health-conscious cuisine, yoga and pilates, a plethora of therapies through massage, marine, sun smoothing, ayurveda, pranayama, facial treatments, etc. There is an infinity-edge pool and secluded private cottage for intensive pampering for the day, and activities include kayaking, dolphin-spotting and nature walks.
