Frequently asked questions

Why are the Bask retreats a little more expensive than other retreats I see advertised?

Bask retreats are created with luxury in mind – we have structured it as an ‘all inclusive’ unique experience.  We have chosen beautiful accommodation, will have our own onsite chef with us all weekend and massage, daily yoga and meditation and workshops all come as part of the cost.  

We like to think of our retreats as the ultimate girls’ wellness weekend away – where everything is taken care of for you so that you can relax and focus on you!

It still seems a little more than I would usually spend on a weekend away – why is that?

We don’t believe it is!  The reason being we are just not used to paying for everything all at once!  If you add up what you usually spend on luxury accommodation, restaurant quality meals, beverages, cheese platters and wine in the evening as well as massage, daily yoga sessions and attending a workshop (let alone a few) we think you will actually find our prices are value for money.

Will I have to spend anything else on top of the ticket price over the course of the weekend?

Most of the time the answer is no ... we have structured our weekends as an ‘all inclusive’ experience so you can put your purse away and be taken care of!  However … at some events we have chosen to give you the option to explore the local area and eat out for one of your meals and this will be an addition cost if you choose to do so.  This will always be stated in our “What’s Included” section of the event.

Does the onsite chef cater for my dietary requirements?

The answer to this is quite simply YES!  We are happy to cater to any of your dietary requirements provided you let us know well in advance so we can tailor something especially for you.

Is alcohol allowed at your events?

Given the nature of our retreats and events, we have decided to keep them alcohol free.  We will serve some delicious alcohol-free options … so we promise you won’t miss it!

A group of us is interested in coming – do you take group bookings?

In short the answer is yes, absolutely.  However, if we don’t have the capacity to fit your group into an existing retreat, we can create a retreat just for you!  Obviously, this will depend on numbers so please get in touch with us and we can chat in person to see what suits you best.

I am a little nervous to come to a retreat on my own – do many women come on their own?

Yes, they certainly do!  A large number of our attendees come alone.  It is also perfectly natural to feel a bit anxious about it – so we are very mindful of this and like to think that we are good at making you feel comfortable in no time at all!

I am a complete beginner when it comes to yoga – will I be able to keep up?

Yes, you sure will.  Our yoga classes are restorative and gentle – they suit everyone from the beginner to advanced yogis.

Are all yoga classes or workshops compulsory?

Definitely not … you are more than welcome to sleep in in the morning and sit out of yoga or any workshops as well as take time out on your own throughout the weekend (but we are hoping you will enjoy them so much you won’t want to!)

Can I book an additional treatment on top of the ticket price?

Of course!  Please just let us know ahead of time and we will book you in with one of our amazing local therapists.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes we do!  We know everyone’s financial situations are different so please get in touch and we can tailor a plan that suits you.

Of course everyone has their own concerns and questions that come up – please feel free to contact us directly and ask if there is anything you need to know!  

We look forward to meeting you soon!
