Wellness Retreats on the West Coast of Ireland
Are you searching for a couples getaway retreat that offers more than just a typical hotel stay?
At the Burren Yoga Retreat, we provide a unique space for Couples Retreats that focus on genuine connection, shared adventure, and deep relaxation.
While we do not offer retreats that are “only for couples,” we find that many partners choose to join us on any of our ‘all year round retreats’ to experience the magic of the west coast of Ireland together.
Choosing a retreat for couples here means stepping away from the “to-do” lists of everyday life and stepping into a world of ancient landscapes, fresh Atlantic air, and mindful presence.
It is a wonderful way to be brought to special places in The Burren with an experienced guide, well away from the usual tourist trails, to discover new things in Nature and also about yourselves, and to deepen your connection with each other.
It is a beautiful chance to nourish your relationship while nourishing your own body and soul.
You may book any 2 to 6 nights on our week-long retreats.
For over 25 years, we have been welcoming people from all walks of life to our sanctuary on the County Galway / Clare border.
When looking for romantic getaways, many couples are now seeking “experiential” travel—a chance to learn something new and grow together.
Our Couples Retreats offer exactly that.
By trying yoga or meditation together, perhaps for the first time, you create new shared memories that bond you in a meaningful way.
Unlike a standard romantic weekend where you might simply sit in a restaurant, here you are active, engaged, and immersed in one of the most mystical landscapes on Earth… The Burren.
An Ireland couples getaway at the Burren Yoga Retreat is an investment in your health and your partnership.
The Burren is a place that invites exploration and awe.
On our Couples Retreats, your days are filled with guided outings led by an experienced guide who knows the secret, hidden gems of this UNESCO Geopark.
Sharing the experience of standing atop one of the Burren limestone hills with spectacular views of Galway Bay or discovering rare wildflowers in a hidden valley is a powerful way to deepen your bond.
This type of couples getaway allows you to be explorers together. We believe that spending time in Nature is food for the soul, and when you share these precious moments with your partner, it tastes even better.
Whether you are on a couples weekend or a longer stay, the adventure of the Burren provides the perfect backdrop for rejuvenation. You can choose to book any 2 to 6 nights on our week-long retreats.
Many of our guests tell us that their Ireland couples getaway was a turning point in how they manage stress together.
By learning relaxation techniques, breathing practices, and yoga suitable for everybody, you take home tools that help you support yourself and each other in the “real world.”
It is a common misconception that Couples Retreats must be strictly “romantic” in the traditional sense; we believe true romance is found in shared growth, laughter in the fresh air, and making connections with like-minded people.
Our couples getaway weekend offers a perfect blend of activity and stillness, ensuring you return home feeling revitalized rather than just “rested.”
One of the reasons we are a top choice for a retreat for couples is our flexible approach.
We understand that every couple has a different rhythm. If you and your partner feel like having a cosy lie-in and missing the early morning meditation or yoga class, that is perfectly fine. You can stay in bed, enjoy the comfort of your luxury en-suite room, and simply join us for a delicious breakfast at 10:00 am.
This flexibility is one of the things that makes our Couples Retreats so relaxing.
You are encouraged to do what feels right for you. Whether you want to participate in every session or take extra time for yourselves, our couples retreats are tailored to your needs.
Food is a central part of the experience here.
Our very experienced in-house chef prepares mouth-watering vegetarian meals that are a feast for the eyes and the palate.
For couples who enjoy fine dining, our kitchen provides a celebration of flavour using the finest local and organic ingredients.
Sharing these incredible meals in our warm, friendly dining room is often a highlight of the couples getaway.
Many guests find that the conversation and connection over our dinner table are just as nourishing as the food itself. It adds a special touch to any romantic weekend to know that every meal is prepared with love and intention.
The energy of the Burren Yoga Retreat is uniquely peaceful. Since 1999, this space has been dedicated solely to wellness and nature retreats, creating a highly charged, calm atmosphere.
When you choose our Couples Retreats, you are stepping into a sanctuary that has been carefully curated for over 25 years.
We are proud to have won the TripAdvisor Award of Excellence every year for the past 15 years, and we encourage you to read independent guest reviews on Google to see why couples love coming here.
For an Ireland couples getaway, the combination of our high reputation and the mystical energy of the Burren is what draws people back time and time again.
Your accommodation is a vital part of your couples getaway weekend.
Our retreat centre features spacious, light-filled en-suite bedrooms designed for the deepest, most restorative sleep. We have super king sized double beds in spacious bedrooms.
With under-floor heating and contemporary minimalist décor, it provides a sense of “luxurious simplicity.”
Getting here for your romantic weekend is simple, whether you are traveling by car, public transport, or flying into Shannon or Dublin airports.
We provide a seamless experience from the moment you book, allowing you to focus entirely on each other and your well-being.
We run our Couples Retreats all year round.
From mid-May to September, you can book flexible stays of any 2 to 6 nights on our week-long retreats.
During the rest of the year, our couples weekend retreats provide the ideal short break to de-stress.
If you are looking for romantic getaways that offer depth, health, and a true sense of place, the Burren Yoga Retreat is waiting for you.
Come and discover why a retreat for couples in the heart of the Burren is the most rewarding way to spend time together.
