Beginners Open Water Development Retreat

Our Dip & Chill Retreat is about detoxing from everyday life and reconnecting with nature. The only level of swimming experience you need is an ability to tread water. The waters in the Inner Hebrides are clean, crystal clear and teeming with marine life. Underwater kelp forests, epic waterfalls and curious seals provide a unique and wonderful experience.

There is no need to wear a wetsuit for our dips as we are not in the water for long periods of time. If you would like to challenge yourself to do a longer swim while you are here we can arrange that. We would advise wetsuits for longer swims.

Other activities include a walking tour around the serene and spiritual island of Iona, the birthplace of Christianity and burial place of 48 Scottish Kings including MacBeth.

At the house we have a choice of activities to include yoga and massage or you can just kick back and relax in the wood-fired hot tub.
