Sun & Salt Escapes
Join Sophie and her team for an escape of a lifetime.
Where you will move, play, swim, laugh, eat, relax and connect.
Welcome to Pembrokeshire’s first retreat combining fitness, yoga and exploration!
Day one will start with arrival at the house for 5.30pm where you will be welcomed with afternoon tea to refresh you from your journey, once you’ve had a moment to settle in we will stretch out the body with some gentle yoga, followed by supper and dessert by the legendary Alissa’s Supper Club. The next morning will start with wake-up coffee, followed closely by a fitness session on the beach where we will work on our cardio and laughter skills ready to energise you for the day ahead. We will make our way back to the house for showers and a big breakfast and of course, plenty of coffee!
After everyone has had their fill and the chance to freshen up, we will grab our beach towels, bathers and hiking shoes to explore a different segment of the coast path in search of the best views and the chance to stop for a wild swim.
You will have the afternoons free to do whatever your heart desires, take a picnic to the beach, walk into St.David’s for a coffee, take a boat tour, enjoy a treatment at Menevia Spa, choose an adventure with TYF or maybe return to the house for a nap in the garden… The choice is yours!
We will come together again in the late afternoon for tea and locally made treats, followed by a yoga flow tailored to the groups abilities, stretching out after the days activities. Followed by a delicious supper club, with a nightly theme of Vegetarian and Plant based cuisines, with flavours and dishes inspired from The Middle East to Italy.
The Food.
At Sun & Salt Escapes, we are big on food! As yogi’s we try to adopt a diet that’s kind to animals, the planet but without forgetting to nourish ourselves!
As a wellness retreat, all of our food is vegetarian or plant based and most importantly filled with wholesome and natural ingredients that will fill you with energy and goodness. Everything is made from scratch on site by our wonderful in-house chef, Alissa. Where possible we always aim to use locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.
A typical day look a little like this:
Brunch: Smoothie bowls or pancakes with homemade granola and coconut yogurt, warm fresh breads, local preserves, fresh fruit, juices, teas and coffee.
Afternoon tea: Freshly baked cake with fresh fruit and teas.
Supper: Chermula aubergine bulgar wheat salad, topped with yogurt, beetroot dip, warm cumin flatbreads, cucumber and lambs lambslettuce salad followed by a dessert; sticky ginger cake and chocolate ginger truffles.
Not only does our food look amazing, but it tastes delicious too, you will not think about vegetarian food in the same way ever again!
