The Retreat
Mulux ReTreats are synonymous with meaningful experiences. We curate programs that perfectly balance leisurely hours
with classes and treatments that have real and transformational impact, the kind that work your body head to toe, from
the inside out… to quiet your mind and uplift your spirit.
We care about substance and authenticity because we believe them to be pillars of connection and wellbeing. Connection
with oneself, with one another, and with one’s surroundings for a renewed awareness, acceptance, and perhaps even an
awakening. Soulful reflections unfold organically, encouraging deeper connections and an overall sense of wellness.
Genuine hospitality is of course paramount, as are meals that do more than nourish and energize. Our discerning guests
have come to expect the high standards we uphold for our retreat menus and appreciate the precious moments shared over
memorable meals.
Stunning locations in culturally-rich places are our preference for in discovering the new and the different, we often
rediscover ourselves. We select our hotel partners very carefully, at times inspiring their own run of luxury retreats.
However atypical it may be to forego ‘retreat hotels’, this is our heart-led approach, for a tailor-made offering that
is unparalleled, uniquely ours, and exclusively yours.
We design every retreat, one by one, mindful of each location’s particular attributes and amenities. No two are ever
alike. What they do have in common, is their ability to transport you out of the everyday and pamper you. And because
you deserve a treat now and then, we bring you luxury, albeit without pretense or fuss. Our aim is for you to be
comfortable and carefree. Book your flight and let us take care of the rest… and you.
A Repertoire that is Intuitive, Innovative & Intelligent…
The Experts
The extraordinary master teacher, James D’Silva, joins us again from London to guide daily sessions
of pranayama and his very own Garuda Method. Encompassing the principles of Pilates, the
breath-work and asanas of yoga, the grace and athleticism of dance, Garuda is the hybrid that has revolutionised
21st century fitness. It is often said that where Pilates ends, Garuda begins. But the Garuda Method is so much
more!
First class is before sunset on arrival day, and last class is before breakfast on departure day. Days 2-5 will hold
classes twice daily. On Day 3, the second class will be earlier to allow for an evening out in Lecce’s historic
centre.
In addition to the group sessions, each suite will receive a 45-minute extra guidance from James. These private
sessions will be scheduled in the afternoons prior to the evening class on Days 2-5.
A Treatment to Soothe, Strengthen, and Sculpt…
As a special added treat, master massage therapist, Angela Kuipers, from YuYoga &
Lifestyle in Amsterdam will lull you into a realm of release and relaxation with her sublime techniques
that work every layer – from muscles to connective tissue and ligaments to adipose tissue.
Each guest will receive a customised treatment of lymphatic drainage, head, neck & shoulder, or buccal & jaw
therapy, expertly combined and administered in a rhythmic massage that lifts and shapes while smoothing out
wrinkles, reducing tensions, and enhancing your fascia. With treatments so divine, one quickly understands why
Angela is known as the sculpt angel.
Guest Treatments will be scheduled between 11:15-17:15 on Days 2-5.
