Rarotonga Retreats
Five days to pause, exhale, and come back to yourself in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Escape to Paradise at Iro Retreat
August 23-27 & September 7-11, 2026
Your home for the retreat is Iro Retreat, an exclusive private villa nestled high in the lush mountains of Arorangi, on the sunset side of Rarotonga. Surrounded by tropical gardens and overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean, it's a sanctuary that naturally invites you to slow down.
With panoramic sea views, open communal spaces, and quiet corners to retreat to, the villa offers the perfect balance of connection and privacy. You might find yourself reading on your balcony, journaling between sessions, or simply soaking in the beauty around you.
We've woven plenty of spacious free time throughout the retreat. This isn't about packing your schedule with activities. It's about creating space to truly be.
Shared with a small group of like minded women, the retreat becomes a supportive and nurturing environment. It's a space to reset, reconnect, and feel held. Both by the island and by the women around you.

"I came to the retreat to catch my breath. Stress and anxiety having taken their toll, I needed some time out from my life. I have loved the companionship and kindness of strangers. The wisdom, talent and energy of Ash, Tamara and Sarah. All sessions are meaningful in big and small ways – movement, mind and spirit being addressed daily and awakened. My cup is refilling and I am so very grateful."
