Yoga and wellness retreats on Waiheke Island

To unwind, feel reconnected, rejuvenated and replenished. These are the ultimate goals of a holiday. Isn’t it the same for yoga and wellness retreats? So think of combining both of the best worlds on Waiheke Island, a stunning piece of land, only a 40-minute ferry ride or a 12-minute helicopter flight from Auckland, New Zealand.

Booking a holiday in such a heavenly spot on Earth is enough to restore your peace of mind. Yet, at our luxurious villas, we thought of a way to make your wellness journey even more relaxing and complete.

Wellness journey on Waiheke Island

Now, let’s imagine turquoise waters lapping against pristine beaches, sunlight dappling through native bush, and the gentle scents of nature carried on a warm breeze.

In this idyllic setting, not only are you experiencing the raw beauty of Waiheke Island, but you're also embarking on a journey of inner discovery at Omana Luxury Villa. 

We’re set atop a hill on Woodside Bay and welcome you to the world of yoga and wellness retreats, where you can quickly shift your focus from sightseeing to soul-searching.

What are the benefits of yoga?

Well, first things first. Let’s remember why yoga deserves its place in everyone’s hearts. Yoga, with its ancient wisdom and diverse practices, offers several benefits to one’s soul. From increased flexibility and strength to reduced stress and anxiety, a regular yoga practice can be absolutely life-changing.

Now, imagine magnifying those blessings by practising amidst the stunning grandeur of nature. Breathe in the fresh island air, feel the sun warm your skin on an ocean front balcony (where you can also get a massage), and let the rhythm of the natural world guide your movements.

In this environment, mindful movement becomes effortless, and meditation finds a natural cadence.

Yoga retreats are a wholesome experience

Tailor it to your taste, but shall we picture a day on your wellness getaway at Omana?

A yoga retreat isn't just a session on a mat; it's a wholesome experience woven into the fabric of your holiday. At Omana, you’ll be waking up to the ocean serenade and a flavoursome breakfast delivered to your door, followed by a gentle morning yoga flow in your private villa or on its exclusive balcony.

The day could unfold with invigorating mindful walks through native forests – perhaps take the bush walk to the private beach? –, a revitalizing in-villa massage, and a warm bath in your oversized ocean-marvelling bathtub.

If still early, follow it with leisurely lunches in stunning vineyards. Then, recollect yourself for a sunset meditation on the beach.

Find your way back to your villa and savour a two-course dinner beneath starry skies, and share laughter with your loved one. Every element of your stay becomes a mindful practice, weaving a tapestry of wellness and rejuvenation.
