The Dream House with the Magic Garden is perfect for Wellness Retreats
Pumula Retreat is a retreat venue situated 120km south of Durban, in the Umzumbe area, 1km from the beach and nestled in the jungle of Pumula. It’s the perfect setting for yoga and wellness retreats.
Pumula Retreat offers a beautiful and unique experience with lush surroundings and breathtaking valley and sea views. The attraction of the location is the quiet environment, the privacy and the spectacular natural surroundings.
In Isizulu, Pumula means “place of rest” and you’ll definitely experience this feeling as soon as you enter the property. Stroll around our 5 acres of well wooded garden to reconnect with nature and spot the local wildlife such as duiker, bushbuck (local antelope) and birdlife as well as finding peace and tranquillity amongst the trees. Relax by the pool side and bask in the sun unwinding in one of the loungers. If you visit during the winter months, watch the whales breach and play with one another as they pass by up the coast.
The glass yoga studio at the bottom of the garden surrounded by the trees provides a unique yogic experience with nature. We have an amazing chef on staff, Kristin who caters for all kind of special diets (vegan, gluten free…), she strives to use local and organic produce as much as possible.
Lucie is a 500hrs certified yoga teacher and completed her trainings in India in Iyengar, Sivananda, Multi-style and Yoga Therapy. Learning and integrating the numerous aspects of yoga into her daily life has had a very positive impact on my life. She has participated in numerous yoga retreats in India, France, Spain, USA and South Africa.
All these experiences have enabled her to gain valuable knowledge and understanding of how retreats are run and what makes them so unique. Nature, facilities, accommodation, food, teachers and management are paramount to a successful retreat.
Come share our slice of paradise with us, forget about the world, the only sounds you’ll hear will be the sounds of nature.
