Anglesey is a calm island off the north-west coast of Wales, known for its rugged shoreline, sandy beaches, and gentle hills. Its natural beauty makes it an inspiring setting for a yoga and wild swimming retreat, while the peaceful surroundings encourage inner stillness and a deeper sense of connection with nature.

Laura, founder of Zest Life, brings more than 20 years of yoga experience to a dynamic yet restorative and nurturing teaching style. Inspired by Ashtanga yoga, her sessions offer the right balance of challenge and rest, weaving together physical postures, breathwork, and calming relaxation.

Enjoy guided wild swimming excursions in Snowdonia’s lakes and Anglesey’s coastal waters, suitable for all levels. Whether you are new to cold-water swimming or ready to push yourself further, expert instructors will support you throughout each swim, helping you connect with the elements and leave feeling refreshed. Beginners and experienced swimmers alike can enjoy this safe, relaxed, and fun experience.

The yoga programme is thoughtfully designed to balance energising morning flows with soothing evening practices. Begin the day with uplifting yoga, then wind down in the evening with gentle sessions, including meditation and soft garden yoga. Suitable for all levels, these classes complement the wild swimming element beautifully, creating a holistic retreat centred on wellness, relaxation, and mindfulness in North Wales.

To deepen your sense of ease, you can also enjoy a range of massage therapies with expert in-house therapists. After your cold-water swims, a restorative lakeside sauna session adds another layer of comfort through contrast therapy, supporting circulation and encouraging deep relaxation so you feel fully recharged.

You’ll stay on a charming estate, a restored historic property tucked into a peaceful valley with sweeping views of Snowdonia. The accommodation combines historic character with modern comfort, offering elegant rooms and tranquil surroundings. Guests also have access to a dedicated yoga space, landscaped gardens, a private waterfall, and calm outdoor areas.

The plant-based menu is created to nourish and sustain you with fresh, seasonal ingredients that support energy, immunity, and recovery. Each meal is designed to complement your yoga and wild swimming sessions, with vibrant, nutrient-rich dishes that help you feel revitalised throughout the retreat. All retreats are alcohol free.
