Family-owned hospitality

 

Craig, Molly, Scarlett and Indigo have owned Alaya Escape since 2013 and have transformed the retreat into an amazing experience where people feel instantly at home, incredibly relaxed and awash with options to spoil themselves. 

 

“Alaya Escape is an opportunity which we feel incredibly grateful for and it has been a bonus that we have made so many enduring friendships with people who have stayed here. 

 

It still amazes us and makes us feel incredibly proud when we see how people’s faces light up when they finally get to the retreat.


It is an incredible blessing to be in a position to contribute so positively to our guests’ lives and help them get back to what is most important”.

RETREATS IN 2024

From February 2023 Alaya Escape will be offering 4-night structured retreats on site, as well as independent stays. 

 

Whether your aim is for personal renewal through peace and quiet, float tank, massages, sauna, ice or hot tub soaking and pool or the  more intensive individual, couple or small group Positive Psychology retreats happening here each month, our mission is to assist people towards living amazing lives as authentic human beings rather than human doings.
