Testimonials about Lagoon Retreat, Turkey

‘The Lagoon Retreat could not be in a more spectacular location. Surrounded by luscious forest around the hillside and with the view over the lagoon, body and soul feel instantly nourished. Practicing Yoga to beautiful bird song and the smell of wild thyme every day is so special. The food is as scrumptious as at all of Huzur Vadisi’s other retreats, with the added bonus of fresh pomegranate juice 🙂 Ian has organised a most wonderful day out for us – a boat trip combined with a visit to an ancient city combined with a mud bath and a fun evening out in town – everyone loved it, best trip ever! Thank you for looking after us and our group so wonderfully. We can’t wait to be back next year!’

‘Wow! It’s been the most incredible week. The place is magical. Ian’s been his usual hilarious brilliant self, organising the best boat trip day ever!! Everyone is enchanted with the place’.  Audrey Tom, May 2023

‘Just to say that I and the group had an amazing time. The location is so
extraordinary….and the village, I loved. The flowers, the meadows, the walks, the
lagoon and the view down. Oh, and the yoga was superb too. Prob a bit too much for
me as a non-yogi but Carol was very flexible and so experienced. And Ian was
brilliant, he ran our day trip out so well and told great tales!’ Rose Rouse, May 2023

Your place is wonderful – Steve and I were blown away by the beautiful flowers, birds
and delicious food!!’ Catherine Derry, May 2023


Every part of it was enjoyed, from the warm welcome to the bliss of the pool,
the food, the magnificent yoga space surrounded by trees and birdsong…. The
wonderful team Ian has pulled together. It felt effortless though I know how much
work is involved. Can’t wait to come back next year (and the next)  xx Julia Poole,
