Stayed in Cloona for one week Weight Loss Retreat in February 2013. Loved every moment of the break especially the massage & sauna. The beach walk at the end of the week was particularly amazing with the beautiful scenery. Great fun and great memories with lovely people, thanks Dhara :)

Back 10 days now from Cloona. I lost weight. Best of all I broke a few bad habits and now that I'm back in the 'real world', I'm maintaining the good habits I learned there. The added bonus was being taught how to walk. What a gift! The food was delicious. The 5 days melted into each other. We were... More

A great experience, tough at times due to detox, but physically and spiritually uplifting. Food was delicious and very nutricious . Lovely peaceful and relaxed setting. The therapists were fantastic and dhara was great at giving you important tips on walking. I would highly recommend getting away to Cloona on your own for a few restorative days. You end up... More

Just back from Cloona, and it was even better on the second visit. Did the weight loss week, and the weight falls off v.easily.

Cloona is a true retreat from our chaotic world. It's a haven away from the noise and hustle & bustle that we have in our everyday life. It's hard to put into words the effect it has, which stays with you long after you have left. I loved its sheer simplicity & lack of pretentiousness. I am a Mother of... More

I had... More

I first visited Cloona in 2002 and most recently just this past weekend. I was so delighted to return, having had such fond memories from my last trip. Cloona is a wonderful place to come to take some time out from the regular routine. Sometimes we can't see how frantic things are until we take a step back. The warm... More

I visit Cloona at least once a year, and have done so for many years now. It is 'me time' of the best kind. I love it's policy of no TV, radio, papers, computers or phones: that element of detoxing is, for me, just as important as the diet and the walking and yoga. It nourishes mind and soul as... More

I recently completed a 6 day weight loss/detox programme at Cloona and it was a most enjoyable experience. Cloona is in a beautiful setting just outside Westport and the accommodation is warm and comfortable. The food was excellent and despite being on a weight loss programme I never felt never hungry, even on the juice days. The twice daily guided... More
