Our Award-Winning Five-Day Signature Wellbeing Retreat Experience
Our health is one of the greatest gifts we possess, yet it’s often neglected in the hustle of life. We push it aside, assuming it will always be there, until a wake-up call reminds us how fragile and precious it truly is. Let’s not wait for that call. Let’s make time to nurture ourselves now—by moving our bodies, nourishing them with wholesome food, and resting them when needed. The same goes for our relationships: let’s invest in moments of connection, express gratitude, and celebrate the people who bring joy and meaning to our lives.
Yeotown Madeira is a chance to prioritize what matters most: the small, consistent steps toward a healthier, more balanced life; the moments of gratitude for the people who uplift and inspire us; and the decision to cherish what we have before we look for what’s next. Our longstanding mission is to help you optimise your health and that which matters most to you.
The Ultimate Investment in Your Health & Longevity
True wealth isn’t just measured in assets—it’s measured in vitality, mental clarity, and the energy to fully enjoy life’s rewards. At Yeotown, we redefine wellness with our award-winning signature five-day escape, “The Yeotox”, designed for individuals who value longevity, peak performance, and sustainable well-being. This is not a juice fast, detox retreat, a bootcamp, or just another wellness retreat. Instead, The Yeotox offers an intelligent, results-driven approach to health, focusing on what you gain rather than what you give up. By temporarily stepping away from certain habits, foods and stressors, you gain invaluable perspective, balance, and renewed energy. Our culinary philosophy is rooted in the science of gut health and longevity, offering gourmet, nutrient-dense meals that fuel both body and mind. With each carefully crafted dish, you’ll nourish your system, optimise digestion, and enhance mental clarity—because a healthy gut is the foundation of a high-performing life.
For those who expect the best in every aspect of life, The Yeotox is more than a retreat—it’s a recalibration of your body, mind, and future well-being. Rather than simply cleansing the body, we focus on detoxing the mind and elevating the spirit. We believe that the weight of stress, mental clutter, and emotional burdens often far exceeds any physical weight one may carry. Our mission is to lighten that load, helping you release long-standing narratives that no longer serve you, and step into a state of balance, strength, and well-being. Invest in yourself, and return stronger, sharper, and more vibrant than ever.
Taking Care of You
Often called the “Hawaii of Europe,” Madeira is a destination that captivates travelers with its stunning landscapes, year-round warmth, and vibrant culture. Since November 2022, we’ve been welcoming guests who return time and again to soak in the island’s beauty and the transformative experiences our retreat offers. Built on the foundation of our 15-year programme in Devon, our island retreat blends seamlessly with Madeira’s unique energy. With winter temperatures rarely dipping below 16°C, even at night, and plenty of sunshine-filled days, it’s the perfect place to restore and recharge—no matter the season.
Our immersive five-day programme runs from Tuesday to Saturday, with arrivals on Monday. Each retreat is designed to reconnect you with nature, movement, and inner balance through a variety of activities, such as yoga for all levels, breathtaking coastal hikes, meditation, cold water immersion, breathwork, functional fitness sessions, wild swimming, natural pools, and indulgent massages. And, of course, a few of our signature “surprise” sessions to keep things exciting!
This is a fully inclusive experience—once you arrive, everything is taken care of so you can fully unwind and focus on yourself. Your retreat package includes all meals, snacks, fresh-pressed juices, stylish boho-chic accommodation, a structured yet nourishing schedule of daily activities, and three nights of deeply relaxing massages. For full details, visit our Cost page.
From the moment you step into this retreat, you’ll feel a shift—more energy, more clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Our approach to health and fitness goes beyond the physical, creating space for you to nurture your emotional and spiritual well-being. This is more than a getaway—it’s an experience designed to leave you feeling stronger, lighter, and more connected to yourself long after you leave.
Ours in an all-inclusive experience so you can just show up and let us take care of you knowing there will be no surprise extras. As part of your investment into your health, all meals, snacks, fresh-pressed juices, boho-chic interior-designed accommodation, full schedule of daily activities and nightly massages on 3 of the days are all included. Please visit our ‘Cost’ page for more information on pricing.
From the moment you step into our haven of health, you’ll feel more energised, engaged, and empowered. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make healthier choices long after you return home. We’re not just about fitness and wellness—we’re about creating an experience that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit in a way that truly resonates with you.

What to Expect
The Yeotox is a journey of balance—where challenge meets care, and effort is rewarded with deep restoration. You’ll move your body with invigorating hikes, strength-building exercises, and mindful movement, pushing your limits while reconnecting with nature. Yet, just as you challenge yourself, you’ll also be nurtured—through soothing massages, guided meditation, deep breathing, and the revitalizing power of cold water immersion.
This experience isn’t just about physical endurance; it’s about mental clarity, emotional reset, and whole-body renewal. Within days, you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more energized, with a sense of calm that lingers long after. Some participants naturally lose weight, but the true transformation is in how you feel—refreshed, recharged, and deeply connected to yourself.
Rain or shine, nature is at the heart of your stay with us. Fresh air, open landscapes, and the rhythm of the outdoors create the perfect environment for both challenge and relaxation. Every element of this retreat is designed to push, restore, and inspire you in equal measure.
Are you ready to step into the perfect balance of effort and ease? We look forward to welcoming you soon.
A SAMPLE DAY
At Yeotown Madeira, each day unfolds with a thoughtfully curated blend of movement, mindfulness, and relaxation, designed to enhance your overall well-being. You might start with an energizing stretch session, preparing your body for a scenic hike through Madeira’s dramatic coastline, lush forests, or rolling valleys. Along the way, you may experience the invigorating benefits of cold water immersion in natural pools or wild swimming in the island’s pristine waters.
Balancing activity with restoration, our programme also incorporates breathwork, meditation, and forest bathing to calm the mind and reset the nervous system. Strength and functional fitness sessions help build resilience, while expert-led massages provide deep relaxation and recovery. In between, there’s space to simply be—whether that’s reading in the lounge by the yoga studio fireplace, relaxing on the outdoor sofas, walking in the garden, or soaking in the island’s natural beauty by the pool.
Rather than a rigid schedule, our retreat follows an intuitive flow, allowing you to build strength and endurance while also tuning into rest and rejuvenation. It’s not just about working out—it’s about working in, creating a lasting connection between movement, nature, and your own inner well-being.
OUR CONSCIOUS CUISINE
Our culinary philosophy is rooted in the science of gut health and longevity, offering gourmet, nutrient-dense meals that fuel both body and mind. With each carefully crafted dish, you’ll nourish your system, optimise digestion, and enhance mental clarity—because a healthy gut is the foundation of a high-performing life. At Yeotown, we don’t see mindful, feel-good eating as a ‘diet’—it’s a lifestyle choice. Our thoughtfully crafted menu is designed with a strong focus on gut health, embracing what we call “Conscious Cuisine.” This means being aware of what we nourish our bodies with and, more importantly, understanding how food influences not just our physical health, but also our emotional and mental well-being.
During your Yeotox experience, you’ll enjoy a menu free from coffee, refined sugar, gluten, dairy, alcohol, and meat—not as a rule, but as an opportunity. This is not about eliminating foods forever; it’s about taking a break, resetting, and discovering how different foods affect you. After all, life is meant to be enjoyed, whether that’s sharing a glass of wine with friends or savouring an ice cream on a sunny afternoon!
This temporary reset is designed to help you tune into your body, giving you the space to reflect on how food influences your digestion, energy, and overall health. With this insight, you’ll leave Yeotox feeling empowered to make choices that truly serve you.
Being mindful of what we consume—and why—is key to a healthier, more balanced life. Understanding how certain foods and drinks affect us, if at all, can be truly transformative. In a world filled with endless diet trends, health bloggers, and nutrition advice, we believe that the most important guide is you.
At Yeotown Madeira, we empower you to make food choices that not only nourish your body but also make you feel your best. Our philosophy isn’t about rigid rules—it’s about discovering what works for your unique body and mind. Many of our past guests have told us they’ve continued incorporating elements of our menu into their daily lives long after leaving, simply because of how good it made them feel. More than just a way of eating, conscious eating is an experience—one that fosters a deeper connection to yourself, your well-being, and the food that fuels you.
A Different Approach to Wellness & Nutrition
Unlike traditional fitness bootcamps, weight loss retreats, wellness retreats, or juice fasts, Yeotown Madeira takes a balanced, sustainable approach to health and well-being. Rather than extreme diets or short-term fixes, we focus on nourishing the body with wholesome, nutrient-rich foods that support long-term vitality.
Our menus are deeply inspired by the land, featuring fresh, organic produce grown right in our island retreat’s gardens. Taking full advantage of Madeira’s subtropical climate, we incorporate an ever-changing selection of vibrant fruits and vegetables unique to this region. This allows us to create a refreshing mix of nutrient-packed juices, smoothies, refined sugar-free desserts, and a delicious, plant-centric menu with a few sustainable fish options. While our cuisine is not entirely plant-based, it can easily be adapted for those who prefer it.
We also recognize that nutrition is personal—what works for one person may not work for another. That’s why, unlike many fitness bootcamps or weight loss retreats, we offer one-on-one nutritional consultations for those who wish to develop a personalized approach to eating well beyond their time with us.
At Yeotown, food isn’t about restriction—it’s about empowerment. We give our guests the tools and knowledge to carry forward a lifestyle that is both nourishing and enjoyable, long after they leave our retreat.
