Wellness Retreats 2026
Where the Rhythm of the Ocean Meets the Ritual of Renewal
Perched above the tidal pools and golden curve of Thompsons Bay, Sala Beach House is a sanctuary where stillness is savoured and wellbeing is woven into the rhythm of daily life. Our curated 2026 Wellness Retreat Collection invites you to pause, soften and return to yourself—held by the healing energy of the Indian Ocean and the understated elegance of our five-star coastal hideaway.
Each retreat blends gentle movement, soulful workshops, nourishing cuisine, and spacious time to simply be. Whether you choose a restorative weekend reset or a six-day immersion in coastal living, these experiences are designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you home to yourself.
Sala Wellness Residency
with Christiaan Smuts
20 to 26 July 2026
For one week only, Sala Beach House welcomes Christiaan Smuts for an exclusive wellness residency.
With more than 20 years of experience, Christiaan has developed a distinctive approach to bodywork that blends therapeutic massage with fascial release, trigger point therapy, acupressure, assisted stretching and other holistic techniques. Every treatment is intuitively tailored to the individual, creating a deeply restorative experience that supports relaxation, improved movement and overall wellbeing.
Having worked with discerning private clients around the world and as a visiting practitioner for Six Senses, Christiaan maintains a deliberately limited clientele. His residency at Sala offers a rare opportunity to experience his personalised treatments in a tranquil coastal setting.
Whether you’re seeking relief from everyday tension, recovering from travel or simply taking time to restore body and mind, each session is adapted to your individual needs and comfort.
Appointments are limited and advance booking is recommended.

SPRING RENEWAL - SOLD OUT
4–6 September 2026
A seasonal reset: release, revitalise, begin again.
Join us as we emerge from our winter slumber into the energy of spring. Our intention throughout this weekend is to facilitate the energetic shift from Winter to Spring, releasing anything we don’t want to bring with us into this next season of life and rekindling our desire and vitality.
This wellness retreat offers a transformative experience designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit, providing a supportive space for participants to let go of daily stresses and embark on a journey of inner renewal. Activities include a workshop to inquire within, daily yoga sessions to reconnect with your body, and an expansive breathwork session for deep healing and release.
The retreat also features a fire ceremony, inviting participants to symbolically release what no longer serves them and set intentions for a fresh start. With a blend of movement, mindfulness, and ritual, the Revitalize Wellness Retreat at Sala Beach House is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and emerge revitalized.
