5 Ways To Unplug & Nourish Your Mind, Body & Soul With The Lighthouse Retreat

If there is one thing we all need to make more time for, it’s for ourselves. Nourishing our own self-care with a much-needed wellness break is the perfect way to restore positive energy levels and reset both your mind and body’s natural rhythms to optimum levels.  A retreat gives you the chance to recharge your batteries and adopt healthier habits within a supportive environment. Changes that are made during a health retreat provide a stepping stone to a more balanced life and can have numerous long-lasting benefits. Enter The Lighthouse Retreat, the Middle East’s first year-round holistic wellness and detox retreat. Opened in 2020, with the intention of helping guests take a much-needed pause from their hectic schedules, as well as to create space for themselves to slow down and reconnect with their inner self to find balance. From delicious healthy meals, healing therapies, coaching, meditation, yoga and much more, The Lighthouse Retreat is an adult-only sanctuary aimed at both local and international guests. The Retreat offers an opportunity to reset mentally, physically, and emotionally in a beautiful setting, located only 45 minutes from Dubai, on a stunning seaside location in Ras al Khaimah. 

Discover 5 ways to rejuvenate and detoxify at The Lighthouse Retreat.   

1. Awaken the Shakti in you…

Activate your inner energy through the ancient practice of Kundalini yoga. It is a combination of breathwork techniques, movement and sound that activates and generates energy. This intense practice is like an express train that shakes and wakes you up. The stillness between poses opens the mind giving us a sense of the fullness of who we are, releasing the ego.  It is truly exhilarating.

2. Dive into Reiki Energy Healing…

We are energy! Our bodies sense it, feel it and use it every second of the day. Reiki Energy Healing is a deeply nurturing therapeutic treatment to calm, soothe and heal your body, mind and soul. This session can be delivered individually or as part of a group and incorporates guided meditation and receiving Reiki energy. The talented team at The Lighthouse Retreat work with the chakras to bring your mind in alignment, nourish your soul and nurture your body. The best part is you just lie back and relax and allow the magic to happen.

3. Ice Ice Baby…

The Fire & Ice session is the ideal activity for a quick body recovery. All with a spectacular view of the lagoon. Using the authentic Himalayan salt in the hot sauna to purify the air and improve breathing and blood circulation, once you’ve warmed up, take a dip in the lagoon or sink into the custom ice baths. Submerging in icy water has many health benefits; reduces inflammation, boosts the immune system, aids weight loss, promotes better sleep and even focuses the mind. Cold immersion releases feel-good hormones, but it can be a challenge getting in for the first time. Bring on the Fire & Ice.

4. Paddle Board It Up…

Fuse the calmness of yoga with the power energy bursts of HiiT- from dedicated breathwork and specific postures such as vinyasas and asanas to powerful HiiT sessions, The Lighthouse Retreat will test your balance and agility while exercising on a paddle board! It’s ALL about the balance. At The Lighthouse Retreat, everyone’s ready for a super fun yoga flow on the board and an energetic HiiT session. From planks to inversions, the paddle board yoga flow is a must, and if you really want to test your balance and stamina, then the paddle board HiiT is your way to go!

5. Red Desert Afternoons…

The desert is alive with transformative power. At The Lighthouse Retreat, the team believes in the healing energy of the desert, hence the programme incorporates an afternoon desert session for grounding using the healing power of the sand, going on a journey like no other to inner peace and connection with the higher self. The session includes a grounding walk, meditations on the dunes, and a lovely picnic whilst watching the sunset.

Guests can truly connect to their inner and outer worlds, within the perfect balance of nature and nurture at The Lighthouse Retreat. The wellness program is supported by two healthy food options: a mostly raw plant-based meal plan or a liquid detox which includes juices, soups and smoothies. The Retreat’s food options do not include processed carbohydrates, meat, dairy products or caffeine helping guests experience a truly detoxifying cleanse.

The Lighthouse Retreat is located at Al Hamra Golf Club, Lower Level, Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
