No prior experience of Ayurveda, Yoga or attending wellness retreats is necessary. Datu welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, from wellness beginners to advanced yogis. All we ask is that you arrive with an open heart and a commitment to your wellbeing journey.

There’s no specific preparation required. You become what you surround yourself with — so you may consider reflecting on your intentions or what might bother you, and bringing a book that promotes relaxation and positivity. Our female guests are welcome to join at any point of their cycle. We do however ask that you kindly contact us before booking if you are pregnant.

Our retreats are a minimum of one week as this duration allows you to experience the full effects of the retreat and a calm transition into your routine. Many guests choose to stay longer for more comprehensive treatments or simply to gift yourself a longer rest. To create a bespoke stay for a group, special occasion or an off-site please contact us to discuss the best options for you.

Datu retreats offer an opportunity for both solo travellers and those coming with a companion. We also create tailor-made retreats for groups, off-sites or special occasions. It’s entirely up to you and your preferences. If you would like to come with a group or a companion animal, please contact us.

Children aged 16 and above are welcome to join the retreat when accompanied by an adult.

For a more immersive experience and to reap the maximum benefits, we recommend disconnecting from gadgets and enjoying a digital detox during your stay. Nonetheless, if you require WiFi access, it will be available to you so you can work from home whilst enjoying Datu.

We encourage a healthy lifestyle and guests have found that abstinence from stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine vastly enhances their health benefits and overall experience.

Our delicious sattvic fusion cuisine already incorporates many contemporary dietary preferences. But please do inform us in advance of any dietary or medical requirements. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. Please also bear in mind we are not a medical facility.

The weather in our retreat locations can vary, so it’s advisable to check the forecast before packing. We provide guests with comfortable retreat wear during their stay. Additionally, we recommend packing clothing suitable for wellness activities and outdoor exploration as well as something warm. Swimwear is required for our outdoor pools.

To secure your reservation, a 50% non-refundable payment is required with the booking. The remainder is due one month prior to the opening of the retreat. We understand that plans can change and, if necessary, date changes are possible, if we can accommodate them within the same retreat season. We recommend taking out comprehensive travel insurance and reaching out to us directly if you have additional concerns or inquiries regarding cancellations, changes or payments.
