  • Move

    Each morning we will move together at the beach! Every workout will be different and challenging but a whole lot of fun! To wind down, each evening we stretch and relax with a 60-minute yoga class.

  • Explore

    Each day we will explore a different segment of the coastal path, chasing the best views, keeping a look out for our wild Welsh ponies and curious seals!

  • Swim

    Cool off after our morning workout or at the end of every coastal explore - you will have a couple of options every day to take a dip in the big blue!

  • Nourish

    All of our food is vegetarian or plant based and most importantly filled with wholesome and natural ingredients that will fill you with energy and goodness. Everything is made from scratch on site by our wonderful in-house chef, Alissa.

  • Relax

    Our accommodation includes a hot-tub and sauna, so you can relax and warm-up after a cold dip in the sea any time during your stay. To help you truly wind down, we can book you in for massages and treatments with our partners at Menevia Spa (additional cost)

  • Adventure

    If you still want more and you’ve had your fill of spa time, we can book you onto one of the many local adventures. From surf lessons to boat trips, there’s an activity to fill your free time! (additional cost)

Join us for an escape to the wild west coast of Pembrokeshire, west Wales.

We are just a few minutes walk from Pembrokeshire’s world famous coastal National Park, its beautiful, pristine, Blueflag beaches and endless views. You will love St.David’s, the smallest, and most charming city in Britain, you really won’t find a better location to escape to.

Welcome to Pembrokeshire’s first complete wellness retreat, combining fitness, yoga, adventure and relaxation.

 

Day one will start with arrival at the house for 5.30pm where you will be welcomed with refreshing drink and the chance to meet your new friends and your host, Sophie. We will then begin the retreat with some gentle movement, releasing any tension and setting our intentions for our first yoga class together.

After yoga we will then enjoy a vegetarian feast by our legendary chef, Alissa including a delicious dessert whilst we all get to know one another before retiring to bed.

Each morning will start with wake-up coffee or tea, followed closely by a fitness session on the beach where we will work on our cardio and laughter skills ready to energise you for the day ahead. We will make our way back up to the house to enjoy a big breakfast and of course, plenty of coffee!

After everyone has had their fill and the chance to freshen up, we will grab our beach towels, bathers and hiking shoes to explore a different segment of the coast path in search of the best views and the chance to stop for a wild swim.

You will have the afternoons free to do whatever your heart desires, take a picnic to the beach, use the house sauna, explore St.David’s, take a boat trip around Ramsey Island, enjoy a spa treatment at Menevia Spa or choose an adventure with TYF … The choice is yours!

We will come together again in the late afternoon for tea and locally made treats, followed by a yoga flow tailored to the groups abilities, stretching out after the days activities and learning some new poses. Yoga will be followed by a delicious supper, with a nightly theme of vegetarian and plant based cuisines, with flavours and dishes inspired from The Middle East to Italy.

On departure day we will have an early final breakfast together before saying goodbye.

NOURISH

At Sun & Salt Escapes, we are big on food! As yogi’s we try to adopt a diet that’s kind to the planet but also full of nourishment for the soul!

As a wellness retreat, all of our food is vegetarian or plant based and most importantly filled with wholesome and natural ingredients that will fill you with energy and goodness. Everything is made from scratch on site by our wonderful in-house chef, Alissa. Where possible we always aim to use locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.

A typical day look a little like this:

Brunch: Smoothie bowls or pancakes with homemade granola and coconut yogurt, toasted sough dough and artisan breads, local preserves, fresh fruit, juices, protein smoothies, teas and coffee.

Afternoon tea: Freshly baked cakes or a savoury spread of crudités and homemade houmus with fresh fruit and tea.

Supper: Chermula aubergine bulgar wheat salad, topped with yogurt, beetroot dip, warm cumin flatbreads, cucumber and lambs lambslettuce salad followed by a dessert; sticky ginger cake and chocolate ginger truffles.

Not only does our food look amazing, but it tastes delicious too, you will not think about vegetarian food in the same way ever again!

We have two dates for you to choose from in 2025.

Guest Reviews

“I have nothing but good things to say about my time with Sun & Salt Escapes. This retreat encompasses everything I could have possibly asked for; adventure, fun workouts, good food and good company!! Sophie and the team are so welcoming, friendly and organised. I’ve never been so relaxed in my life knowing that my time is in such capable hands. I came away feeling refreshed in every single way, be that mind, body and soul (cheesy, but so true!!) and I couldn’t recommended it enough!””

Emma W.

“Thank you again to Sophie and the team for pushing me out of my comfort zone and giving me the motivation I’ve needed to put my body and wellness first, after what has been a surreal couple of years for everyone! The sunset yoga was just the icing on the cake and I can’t wait to see what other adventures Sophie and the team have in store!!”

Ellie D.

“I joined the Pembrokeshire Retreat in 2021 and I couldn't recommend it enough. From arrival to departure, every minute of the day had been thoughtfully planned, bringing together the perfect balance of exercise, mindfulness, excitement and relaxation. Both Sophie and Alissa were the most attentive hosts you could wish for. You can really tell the retreat has been put together to showcase everything they love, live, breathe (and eat!).”

Leah M.

“Words cannot describe what an amazing time I had on the Retreat! From the most delicious food (if Alissa could cook for me for the rest of my life, I’d never touch meat again), the fabulous beach workouts, the sea dips and the beautiful coastal walks…Sophie made the week fun and relaxing and an amazing break from a stressful year. She’s reinvigorated my love of yoga and I can’t wait to book on to another one.”

“The retreat was the perfect getaway, at first I was a little nervous to spend my holiday with a group of strangers, but we all got on so well, everyone just clicked and we became our own little family! The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and felt like a home away from home. Alissa’s cooking was spectacular she opened up all our eyes to how flavourful vegetarian and plant based food can be! Sophie definitely put us through our paces, but we all felt great for it afterwards. Even though I’m basically a beginner, the evening yoga was a great session to perfect our form with Sophie’s support and teaching to help us feel more confident in our poses. When we did have our own free time we could explore the local area (which is stunning) or just chill in the garden and read a book. However the paddle boarding and coasteering with everyone are memories I’ll never forget!!”
