Tropical Timeout

Yoga Retreat Perhentian Island

30 April – 3 May 2026 | Beach Box


Four days of yoga, ocean swims, good food, and unhurried mornings.

A tropical timeout where the only agenda is to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Mornings start with yoga overlooking the sea. Afternoons are for snorkeling, naps, and long, lazy lunches.

Evenings wind down with gentle movement, meditation, or just watching the sky change colors over the water.

“Had such an enjoyable time at the retreat, especially after leaving the stress of the corporate world for a few days. Expanded my circle by meeting such interesting and unique women during the retreat – truly enjoyed listening to their stories and getting to know their personalities. I am blessed to have received positivity and good vibes throughout the trip. Loved the whole experience!”

“If you’ve been under a lot of pressure, feeling stressed, lonely or unsure about life, do yourself a favour and book one of Ariel’s yoga retreats. Go with an open mind and heart, and I guarantee you will leave feeling renewed, refreshed, rejuvenated and light, like a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders, leaving you ready to face the world again 💜”

Sharon

“I had a deeply restorative experience during this yoga retreat, which I wholeheartedly recommend. Everything had been designed with remarkable care and attention: the peaceful and inspiring setting provided an ideal setting for reconnecting with oneself; the activities were perfectly balanced between yoga practice, rest time, moments of sharing, and inner exploration. Ariel, the organizer, takes great care of everyone’s well-being. Her attentive, discreet yet always available presence helped create an atmosphere of trust and gentleness. The warm and caring group quickly formed a beautiful community, where everyone felt welcomed as they were. A precious interlude, one I will cherish for a long time.”

Our Venue: Beach Box

Welcome to Beach Box, our little slice of paradise perched right above the turquoise waters of the Perhentian Islands. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the pace of life slow down… the sound of the waves beneath your feet, the scent of salt in the air, and that golden island light that makes everything feel softer.

All rooms come with their own ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, and thoughtful touches to keep you comfortable throughout your stay.

Superior Rooms are located on the ground floor, Deluxe Rooms sit upstairs, with a spacious balcony.

Meals are served right by the ocean, with the waves lapping beneath the deck and the sky putting on a show at sunset.

The food? Let’s just say it’s insanely good fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared, with portions that never leave you hungry.

It’s beautiful and wonderfully laid-back, the kind of place that makes you forget what day it is.
