Step away from the noise of daily life and return to what is simple and steady. This week is designed to help you slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with yoga as a lived practice, not a performance. This Essence of Yoga retreat by Datu Wellness offers a calm setting for daily practice, rest and reflection.
Across seven days, you will move through guided asana, pranayama, and meditation in a calm coastal setting, with spacious time to rest, reflect, and reset. You can arrive as a complete beginner or with an established practice since the programme can be adapted to meet you where you are.
What Is Datu Wellness? Datu Wellness is a wellbeing retreat that brings the depth of Eastern wisdom into dialogue with the rhythms of the West, creating space for meaningful and lasting transformation.
Recommended by Vogue, House & Garden and the Financial Times, Datu Wellness opens for only a few weeks each year in exceptional locations across Italy, as its team of practitioners travels from India to offer care rooted in authentic healing traditions.
Datu Wellness convenes masters of the Eastern healing arts, including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, Tibetan Sowa Rigpa, sound therapies, Reiki and more. Drawn from respected ashrams, clinics and living lineages, these practitioners share their knowledge with integrity, generosity and a quiet devotion to the art of care.
The retreats combine restorative body treatments, Ayurvedic wellbeing consultations, mind coaching and yoga with a thoughtfully curated group programme designed to invigorate the body, calm the mind and uplift the spirit—all within the comfort, accessibility and natural beauty of the Mediterranean.
While not everyone is able to travel to India, many seek the same level of authenticity and depth to support their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Datu Wellness offers rare access to this timeless expertise within Europe, creating retreats that are both distinctive and deeply rooted in tradition.

PRACTITIONER
An team of 20 renowned masters in Ayurveda, Yoga, and holistic healing, hailing from India, unite to craft life-changing and deeply authentic wellbeing retreats. In a residence overlooking the Amalfi Coast, these retreats promise to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul in an atmosphere of serenity and inspiration.
WHERE: A private 17th-century beachfront Palazzo, a residence overlooking the Amalfi Coast. Framed by 5 acres of lush gardens that open to the horizon and shaped by sea air and sunlight, it is a place that seems to watch more than it reveals. Mornings drift in with the scent of salt and citrus; evenings soften into the hush of the tide. Nothing insists and nothing distracts. There is simply the feeling of a place that has endured, that understands the elegance of restraint.
WHEN: Various Dates: 7 – 14 March, 2026 / 15 – 22 March, 2026 (8 Days / 7 Nights)
ACCOMMODATION: Room categories vary mostly in size, views and the presence of a terrace. All our rooms are charming and individual, located either in the historic heart of the Palazzo or in two charming Mediterranean villas nestled amidst the 5 acre private gardens. All rooms are suitable for single or double use.
PRICE: From £3,500 all inclusive per week or £2,600 per person for double occupancy.
FOOD: Food at Datu Wellness is approached as medicine and relationship, guided by Ayurvedic principles and the rhythm of the seasons. Fresh, predominantly sattvic, plant-based meals are prepared with attentiveness to digestion, vitality and beauty—designed to nourish the body, steady the mind and support deep, restorative balance.
