The Luxury Villa

Imagine waking up to this…

Villa Akuna means 'Peace by the Water' and it truly embodies this. Located directly onto the Adriatic Sea, Villa Akuna has 5 suites containing high end Italian luxury furniture and fittings.

Our aim is to allow each retreat guest to not lift a finger the entire week, so once you arrive you will be welcomed with a cool drink as your bags are taken to your room.

Guests will be super comfortable in their oversized bedrooms with sea views and beautiful handcrafted bathrooms. During the week each guest has access to our concierge to ensure your stay is super comfortable. Take a break from everyday tasks and allow the in villa staff to tidy each morning.

Over the course of the week, enjoy the magnesium pool, reset in the infrared sauna and walk directly into the sea to refresh. If you are wanting more, workout in the gym or ride a bike around the local area.

Peace by the Water

You have the flexibility to choose between a private room or sharing with another retreat guest (Bonus: if you book with a friend, both of you will receive a discount).

Prepare to be mesmerized by the exquisite and luxurious villa, creating a serene and tranquil ambiance.

Laying by the adriatic sea with a fresh juice whilst reading your book is a must. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi.

While each room offers a similar experience, the allocation of the rooms will be based on the order of sign-ups. If you opt for a shared room, we will carefully pair you with a guest who we believe will be a perfect match for you.

  • The retreat allowed me to focus on re-connecting with myself, reflect and work through emotions that have been there for quite some time, learn useful techniques to take into everyday life, lean into sticky/uncomfy feelings, feel a sense of beautiful community with all the amazing women who came and get in touch with my spiritual side/the universe. Also relax and enjoy the most beautiful villa.

    H.M

  • I would highly recommend the Radiance Retreat! It is the perfect combination of healthy food, yet also food that is nourishing the soul, Pilates, Yoga, an amazing group of facilitators, Amelia who is holding space for everyone and just a beautiful group of women. Don't overthink and just make this investment in yourself!

    F.H

  • It was beyond my expectations, really. I felt so empowered, women lifting up women and it was so amazing to see how people were opening up and showering their vulnerability, to really grow. I really grew on a personal level and everyone inspired me so much to keep on doing this back home.

  • Group EFT Tapping is very special and involves tapping on meridian points to soothe the nervous system and release tension that is no longer serving us. In a group setting it really works with ‘borrowed benefits’ where we gain insight on how others see things, it really connects the group. Our aim to let go of things that are no longer serving us!

  • The Nourishing the Woman Workshop is run by Amelia through a Naturopathic lense, as this is one of her true passions. A transformative experience designed to empower and uplift guests in their journey towards holistic well-being through nutrition. Be guided on a womb healing meditation to drop into your feminine body and connect with yourself.

    This workshop is thoughtfully crafted to address the unique nutritional needs of women, providing a nurturing space for self-discovery, growth, and self-care. Our aim is to empower you leaving you with tools to become a vital woman.

  • Each day these workshops will take place. Breathwork can be an absolutely profound experience. That's why we have carefully curated a series of breathwork sessions that will guide you from a place of grounding and relaxation to powerful breakthrough experiences throughout the week.

    Beginning the week, our breathwork sessions are designed to gently ease you into a state of deep relaxation and tranquility. Led by our skilled facilitators, you will be guided through various breathing techniques that will help calm the mind, release tension, and soothe your body. These sessions provide a foundation for the transformative journey that lies ahead.

    As the week progresses, our breathwork sessions gradually build in intensity, allowing you to explore the depths of your breath and unlock the potential for powerful breakthroughs. Through conscious and intentional breathing, you will have the opportunity to release stored emotions, let go of stress, and tap into your inner strength and resilience.

    Our experienced facilitators will create a safe and supportive environment, ensuring that you feel comfortable and guided throughout your breathwork journey. They will provide gentle guidance and offer personalized support, allowing you to navigate any emotions or sensations that may arise during the sessions.

    By the end of the week, you will have experienced the transformative power of breathwork firsthand. You will have gained a deeper understanding of the connection between your breath, your emotions, and your overall well-being. These breakthrough sessions will leave you feeling empowered, lighter, and more in tune with yourself.

    Whether you are new to breathwork or have previous experience, our breathwork sessions at the health retreat are designed to meet you where you are on your journey. They provide a space for self-exploration, healing, and growth, allowing you to release stress, cultivate inner peace, and tap into your innate potential.

  • Join us for a calming and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra session designed to guide you into a state of deep relaxation and restorative rest. Often referred to as “yogic sleep,” Yoga Nidra is a powerful meditation practice that takes you to the threshold between wakefulness and sleep, allowing your body and mind to fully unwind and reset.

    During this evening session, you will be led through a guided meditation, where you’ll lie comfortably and allow the soothing voice of your instructor to help you release physical tension, quiet the mind, and surrender into a profound state of relaxation. Through gentle breathwork and body scanning, you will enter a state of conscious relaxation, where your body heals and your mind finds peace.

    Yoga Nidra is a deeply healing practice, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. It calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and promotes restful, uninterrupted sleep. By cultivating this practice, you can improve your emotional well-being, release stored tension, and promote a sense of serenity.

    Whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or simply a peaceful end to your day, this Evening Yoga Nidra session will help you achieve a state of deep relaxation, leaving you refreshed, centered, and ready for a restful night’s sleep.

  • During this invigorating yoga workshop, you will explore a dynamic blend of asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation. Through a carefully crafted sequence, you will flow through a series of poses that will challenge and strengthen your body, while simultaneously fostering a sense of inner calm and balance.

    Our skilled instructor will guide you through each posture, offering modifications and adjustments to ensure that the practice is accessible to all levels of experience. You will be encouraged to listen to your body, honor your limitations, and explore your own unique expression of each pose.

    Through the integration of breathwork, you will learn to synchronize your breath with movement, allowing for a deeper connection to your body and a heightened sense of presence. The workshop will also incorporate moments of stillness and meditation, providing an opportunity to quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace.

    The invigorating nature of this yoga workshop is not only physical but also mental and emotional. As you move through the practice, you may find yourself releasing tension, letting go of stress, and experiencing a renewed sense of vitality and clarity.

    Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are on your yoga journey. It is a space for exploration, growth, and self-discovery. Our instructor will provide guidance, support, and encouragement, creating a safe and nurturing environment for your practice.

    Namaste.

  • The closing circle with the whole group is a very special session to reflect on what you loved about the week and what you will carry back in to life. This will involve some gentle manifestation prompts to set you up.

    We will do some somatic bodywork to release old patterns and things no longer supporting us. We will burn the old and welcome to new! We will use our intention for the week and do an angel circle (our favourite surprise and the most powerful exercise of the whole week).
