Four nights to rest, connect and fill your cup before your baby arrives

Europe’s leading pregnancy retreat.

A celebration of the woman you are becoming.

Fourteen women who are exactly where you are

Each coming alone, often from London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and New York. About half already have a child at home.

Mornings to prepare your body for birth

A programme designed with UNICEF‑certified midwives and obstetricians.

Morning
Prenatal movement and pelvic floor work on the deck, then a long brunch
Midday
A birth session with your childbirth educator
Afternoon
Yours. Your massage one day, a guided visualisation or a creative session on others
Evening
Guided circle, then dinner by candlelight

Every session is an invitation. Join what calls you, and in any circle you are welcome to simply listen. All of it in English.

Confidence for whatever the birth brings

Seven hours of birth education to understand your options and prepare for changes.

Midwives come here for their own pregnancies.

“As a trained midwife, I thought I didn’t have much to gain from these sessions, but I was wrong.”
Charlotte, a guest and midwifeCharlotte Rose-Birch, midwife, UK. She came as a guest.

Meals prepared around your pregnancy and dietary needs.

Guests go home almost looking forward to the birth.

“I felt a bit scared about labor. Afterwards, I felt excited, almost looking forward to it.”

“I don’t feel nervous, I feel excited.”

Upcoming retreats

A retreat almost every month, for 15 women. You can come from week 14 to week 35.

Questions women ask first

Will the other guests also come on their own?
Yes. Every guest comes on her own, and most arrive knowing no one. By the first dinner that has usually stopped mattering.
Can I fly in my week?
Ask your own midwife or doctor first. The retreat is for weeks 14 to 35, counted on the day you fly home. Airlines set their own limits, and from week 28 many ask for a letter. If you are expecting twins, tell us first.
What if my pregnancy changes before the date?
With travel insurance that has pregnancy cover, you are fully covered. If your midwife or doctor advises against travel after you booked, even though you were fit to travel then, you get a full refund of the retreat fee, and usually of your flight too. Check your existing travel insurance, or ask us to recommend a provider. A one-off policy usually costs €15 to €50.
Who is there if I need medical help?
We choose every venue for a clinic with a prenatal unit 15 to 30 minutes away. Your childbirth educator and your retreat concierge stay on the estate with you, day and night. Four midwives take turns on call by phone, around the clock. For most women, that is more people looking out for them, day and night, than in a normal week at home. Your own midwife or doctor stays in charge of your care.

You’re making room for your baby. This room is for you.
