The Cotswolds club is hosting its very first retreat this summer


Since opening in 2023, Cotswolds members’ club Estelle Manor has garnered a reputation as one of the UK’s most exclusive hotels. Kamalaya, meanwhile, is a famous wellness sanctuary situated on the paradise island of Koh Samui in Thailand. And this June, the two hotspots are joining forces to host a one-of-a-kind wellness retreat.

Estelle Manor To Host First Wellness Retreat

Taking place this June at Estelle Manor, the retreat will be centred around the club’s Eysham Baths, a jaw-dropping, 3,000 sqm Roman-inspired spa. Expert practitioners from Kamalaya will be coming over to guide guests through a tailored programme of classes, treatments and rituals, all designed to help restore balance and cultivate resilience.

The experience will include an array of holistic practices, from chakra meditation to chanting, alongside two workshops: one on building a resilient mind, the other on ayurvedic wisdom.

Guests will spend three nights staying at Estelle Manor, which is set on a sprawling Oxfordshire estate, with meals to be co-crafted by Kamalaya and Estelle Manor’s Executive Chef Richard Bias. They’ll also enjoy two 90-minute signature treatments, Kamalaya’s Three Treasures, designed to revitalise the body’s energy centres, and Eynsham Baths’ Warrior Massage, which uses deep massage techniques to target muscular holding patterns. 

Speaking about the retreat, Estelle Manor’s Artistic Director Eiesha Bharti Pasricha said: ‘It was very important to me that the first Eynsham Baths retreat had a clear intention, and the need to build true resilience, that encompasses mental, emotional and physical strength, has never been felt more. We’re honoured to be partnering with globally renowned Kamalaya and look forward to hosting a truly transformation experience over the four days.’

Gopal Kumar, General Manager & Group Director of Wellness Development at Kamalaya, added: ‘This collaborative retreat between Kamalaya and Estelle Manor is a meeting of two worlds – one rooted in the transformative power of Eastern wisdom and holistic wellness, the other in the elegance of a refined retreat experience. Together, we are creating a space for personal renewal, where guests can discover the strength within to navigate life with greater ease and vitality.’

Founded in 2005, Kamalaya is a holistic spa offering a range of wellness programmes spanning everything from gut health to longevity and detoxification. Set in a beautiful tropical setting with views of the ocean, it has garnered numerous awards over the years, combining ancient Eastern healing traditions with Western medical research.
