Cornwall’s retreat scene covers a lot of ground: 1:1 coaching in Falmouth, a fasting protocol at Widemouth Bay, a New Year retreat in West Penwith, and group yoga weekends from Boscastle to Newquay. Every one had dates on its booking page in October 2026.
The first half of this guide covers retreats running this winter, plus 1:1 options you can book on any date. The second half covers the group yoga retreats, which run from March to September 2027.

Winter retreats and 1:1 breaks
1:1 Personal Reset Retreat with Mark, Falmouth
A fully private coaching retreat in Falmouth, hosted by Mark of Headspace Coaching Plus, with 9 verified reviews on BookRetreats averaging 4.98/5. Reviewers describe their coach as available around the clock across the three days - cooking, driving them to coastal spots, leading walks and meditations, and running the coaching sessions on whatever decisions or transitions they’re working through.
Verified reviews describe specific use cases: divorce strategy, addiction recovery, professional reset, decision-making at career inflection points. Two nights in a sea-view en-suite room, two home-cooked meals, with the rest self-served from the kitchen and based on what you tell Mark you like to eat. Meals out and extra excursions aren’t included. There’s no group and no shared schedule, and it runs on any dates you choose.
Best for: Solo professionals navigating a major life transition who want structured 1:1 work without a group. Less good for anyone wanting yoga or a community retreat.
From £499 per person, two nights, any dates. The deposit is refunded in full up to 30 days before arrival.

Collagen Re:boot Gut Health Retreat, Widemouth Bay
A structured eight-day fasting and nutrition retreat at Widemouth Bay on the north coast near Bude. The protocol covers 48 to 86 hours of prolonged fasting depending on stay length, then a gentle reintroduction to collagen-rich foods alongside daily meditation, pranayama, gentle movement and a cooking class.
The retreat is firmly carnivore-positioned - no vegan options, with the host’s view that animal protein is required for the repair work the retreat targets. Seven nights in en-suite rooms, three meals a day during eating windows, hot tub and sauna, one treatment, daily nature hikes, and all fluids and supplements. Two-night and five-night stays are also available. Groups run five to 12.
Best for: Anyone investigating gut health or structured fasting under supervision and willing to eat meat for the week. Less good for vegans, or anyone after a relaxed break.
From £750 per person in a shared room or £1,499 in a private room, seven nights. Dates: 13-20 November 2026 or 15-22 January 2027. The deposit is refunded in full until the day before the retreat starts.

Land, Sea and Sky New Year Retreat with Lana Lanaia, West Penwith
A week over New Year in a house set in seven acres of woodland in West Penwith, 10 to 15 minutes from Penzance and a mile from the sea. The host, Lana Lanaia of Aluna Healing, runs it as a shamanic and nature-based retreat: walks to stone circles, holy wells, coves and woodland, ritual and sound healing, teachings on the Celtic Wheel, and daily movement or yoga with an optional river dip.
Food is a cleanse rather than a menu. Breakfast is a nut-milk smoothie, lunch is a warm vegetable dish or soup, and the evening meal is light. Everything is organic and free of dairy, meat and gluten. Rooms are large doubles or twins with shared bathrooms, and there are a couple of spaces for campervans.
Best for: Anyone who wants to start the year with a cleanse, cold water and time outdoors, and is comfortable with ritual and shamanic practice. Less good for anyone who wants proper meals over the holidays. There are no reviews yet for this year’s edition.
£1,200 per person sharing a twin, six nights, 28 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 - one place left in October 2026. The £186 deposit is non-refundable, and the balance is due 30 days before the start.

Group yoga retreats for 2027
The group yoga retreats run between March and September, and all three below had 2027 dates on sale in October 2026.
Sacred Sites Yoga and Meditation Camping Retreat, Boscastle
One of the two cheapest retreats in this guide, and the only one where you bring your own tent. Three nights at Trebyla Campsite above Boscastle, with yoga and guided meditation on the beach, on grass or in a village hall depending on the weather. Kirsty May leads it; she trained in Sivananda yoga in Kerala and Hatha in Dharamshala, and has been teaching for 17 years.
The days are built around north Cornwall’s sacred sites. Entry to Tintagel Castle and St Nectan’s Glen is included, along with a guided walk of about 1 hour 45 minutes to Rocky Valley and Bossiney Cove, beach time, and evenings round the fire pit. The group car-shares between sites.
Meals are not included. The group eats at local cafes, and Kirsty books a restaurant table for dinner on one or two nights. You bring your tent, sleeping bag, yoga mat and a mug for the morning tea and coffee.
Best for: Budget travellers happy to camp, and anyone interested in Tintagel and the Arthurian coast. Less good for anyone wanting a bed, or who can’t manage a fair amount of walking.
£295 per person including the campsite fee, three nights, 11-14 June 2027. It is paid in full at booking and is non-refundable unless the host cancels.

AdventureYogi - Wild Swim and Coastal Walking Retreats
Two formats at the same restored manor-house estate in Cornwall: a three-night weekend and a four-night mid-week retreat. Both have a morning yoga and meditation practice and a longer restorative session with yoga nidra in the evening, a guided walk on the coast path and a sea swim with qualified instructors. Meals are vegetarian or vegan, with brunch, lunch and a two-course dinner. Wetsuits can be hired for £15.
Teachers change from date to date; Louise Windsor teaches the September weekend. The nearest station has direct trains from London and is about 25 minutes from the estate by taxi.
Best for: A classic twice-daily yoga retreat with cold water and walking built in. AdventureYogi asks for a good general fitness level and that you can swim competently in a pool.
Weekend: three nights, 26-29 March, 18-21 June, 23-26 July or 17-20 September 2027, £799 per person in a shared twin. Mid-week: four nights, 29 March-2 April, 21-25 June, 26-30 July or 20-24 September 2027, from £749 in a bunk room or £849 in a shared twin.

Cornish Wave - Surf and Yoga Weekend, near Newquay
Two nights in bell tents at a private woodland camp near Newquay, with two surf lessons at local beaches such as Fistral, two morning yoga sessions beside the camp’s pond, and evenings round the campfire. Breakfast is included each morning, groups are capped at eight, and no surfing or yoga experience is needed. The weekend starts at 18:00 from Cornish Wave’s base at 40 Fore Street, a 10-minute walk from Newquay station. It has 35 reviews on Viator, averaging 4.9 out of 5.
Best for: The most social weekend in this guide, and the cheapest. Over-18s only. Less good for anyone who wants a bed or a quiet, inward-looking retreat.
From £289 per person, two nights, with 2027 dates on sale. Bookings through Viator are non-refundable and cannot be changed.

Cornwall retreat planning notes
Season: The group yoga retreats run from March to September. Winter options are Mark all year, the Collagen Re:boot in November and January, and the West Penwith New Year retreat.
Solo travellers: Every retreat here takes solo bookers. Most group retreats sell a place in a shared twin, so you don’t need to bring a room-mate, and private rooms usually cost more.
Getting there: Saltash and Penzance are on the main line from London Paddington, and Falmouth and Newquay are on branch lines off it. Widemouth Bay and Boscastle are easiest by car. Newquay Airport (NQY) is the closest airport for the north coast.
Food: Most retreats serve vegetarian food by default. The two exceptions are the Collagen Re:boot, which is built around animal protein, and Sacred Sites, where meals aren’t included. The West Penwith New Year retreat is a juice and smoothie cleanse.
What to bring: Layers - Cornish weather is changeable even in July, and cold in December. Bring swimwear and a quick-dry towel for any retreat with a swim, and a tent, sleeping bag and yoga mat for Sacred Sites.
If you’re combining a retreat with a wider Cornwall trip, our places to stay covers cottages and hotels nearby. For a coastal break with no formal yoga element, the best Cornwall hotels guide includes The Scarlet at Mawgan Porth and Bedruthan Hotel and Spa.
