The Heart of the Burren, A Sanctuary for the Soul

Residential Wellness Retreat Ireland

Luxury Residential Wellness Retreat Ireland

The Burren Yoga Retreat isn’t just a place to practice yoga; it’s a residential wellness retreat Ireland crafted over two decades to be a sanctuary for rejuvenation, adventure, and profound connection.

Nestled within the breathtaking, mystical landscape of The Burren on the dramatic West Coast of Ireland, we offer a truly unique sanctuary with the perfect balance of deep relaxation, invigorating outdoor activity, and exceptional vegetarian cuisine.

Our story began in 1999 when we proudly opened as Irelands first residential yoga retreat.

Founded in 1999 by Dave Brocklebank, our residential wellness retreat Ireland was born from a vision to provide a genuine, high-quality space for people to escape the stresses of modern living.

While others have followed our example over the years, our 25 years experience and unwavering commitment to quality set us apart.

This dedication is recognized by our winning the Tripadvisor Award of Excellence for 15 years in a row.

Residential Wellness Retreat Ireland: Our Vision and Story

Dave Brocklebank’s journey began long before the retreat opened its doors.

Starting his meditation practice in 1978 and yoga in 1979, Dave realised early on that these were the two most inspiring bodies of knowledge he had ever encountered.

His life’s work became the creation of this luxury wellness centre Ireland, designed specifically to pass on these genuine teachings to others.

We aren’t a hotel that happens to have a gym; we are a purpose-designed retreat centre built from the ground up to support deep healing and spiritual growth.

With a maximum of only 18 guests, we ensure that every individual feels seen, supported, and cared for throughout their stay.
