The Burren is an ancient, mystical location on the stunning west coast of Ireland.
Designated a UNESCO Geopark, this unique karst landscape is famous for its stunning biodiversity and ancient limestone hills which are ideal for hill walking, offering a magnificent backdrop to your yoga retreat.
There are sandy beaches where we go swimming, and walks by the shore and along the coast.
Our wellness retreats Ireland include daily guided outings with an experienced guide, allowing you to immerse yourself in this magical environment.
The guided walks cater to everyone; you can choose a challenging hill walk or a flat, easy stroll.
You may explore ancient sacred sites like the 5,000-year-old Poulnabrone dolmen, stroll along sandy beaches by the Atlantic ocean, or simply sit in Nature and enjoy the quiet solitude.
This time in Nature is profoundly nourishing, helping you de-stress and recharge.
For overseas visitors, especially those searching for a holiday in Ireland, our week-long Ireland retreats & yoga retreats are the ideal way to experience the quality of the Burren and be shown its special places with an experienced guide.

I would highly recommend this retreat for anybody looking to take some time out. The staff were so attentive and welcoming and the centre felt homely. The yoga teacher was excellent and we enjoyed a range of yoga, meditation and a sound bath. The food was fabulous. Will definitely return.
Beautiful retreat venue in a scenic part of Ireland. 5 stars also to excellent food & Chef Claire! Traveled solo twice here, most recently for a retreat with Eileen that was an excellent use of my time, lovely people, excellent Yoga teachers, I always learn a lot. Big thanks to David & staff for running a warm & welcoming retreat! Highly recommend.
This was my FIFTH Yoga Retreat in the beautiful Burren with the FABULOUS Eileen🧘🏼♀️
I loved every moment from this Yoga Retreat from the gorgeous accommodation, breathtaking scenery, meeting a magnificent bunch of new people, eating rings around myself with the most scrumptious food by the very talented Claire and top it all off – I slept like a baby and I left feeling rested and recharged for the SUMMER ☀️💪🏼😁
I cannot recommend The Burren Yoga highly enough! I am already looking forward to booking my next Yoga Retreat! Thank you Dave for creating such a wonderful space and for being such a welcoming host as always 😊
It was a wonderful experience. I met lovely people. Thanks Dave, George, Eileen, Clare, and the rest of staff who were looking after us last weekend. I highly recommend this centre. Lovely organic vegetarian dishes, clean and comfortable bedroom. Well organised programme. Very professional yoga teacher. The centre is located on a beautiful place. I don’t have words to express the love and kindness I received from all the people are part of this lovely place. Thanks and a big hug from my heart to all. Toñi M.
What an exceptional retreat experience! The yoga instructor Eileen was very skilled the host George was warm and welcoming and the owner Dave was wonderful. The food was delicious and after traveling from Vancouver Canada we had no doubt it was worth every penny! Thank you for a wonderful experience, beautiful facilities and stunning landscape! Loved every minute!
This was my first solo trip, my first yoga and meditation retreat and Dave and the team surpassed all expectations! I could not have asked for a better reset weekend- it didn’t matter I was a beginner – I felt it was a truly authentic experience. Eileen was an amazing teacher and George was a perfect host! The centre is modern, spotless, food was 5star … an unforgettable weekend I would highly recommend and I will be back.
