Luxury Zeeland Yoga and Wellness Weekend Retreat

This yoga retreat in Domburg, Zeeland is a weekend of movement, sea air and rest at Yogabee Retreat Centre, on the unspoilt Dutch coast. It suits anyone who wants a restorative break built around functional movement, breathwork, good vegetarian food and time outdoors. The movement teaching comes from Mike Van Cauter of Pop Up Yoga Concepts.

What to Expect

Arrival is at 6 pm on the first evening, and the retreat closes at 3 pm on the last day, with two days of restoration in between. The programme is meant to energise mind, body and spirit, and it mixes active sessions with real downtime.

- Four dynamic, workshop-style functional movement classes, including wall yoga and mobility and Kinstretch work
- An optional early morning guided meditation
- A breathwork workshop
- A 30-minute HIIT session on the beach
- Guided walks along the Zeeland coastline, finishing with a warm drink in the village of Domburg

After movement or a walk by the sea, there is an indoor heated pool and a dry sauna on site. A masseuse is available for an extra cost.

About Mike Van Cauter

Mike Van Cauter is a Brussels-based yoga teacher, movement specialist and retreat facilitator, and the founding teacher of Pop Up Yoga Concepts. He has more than ten years of professional experience helping people understand how their body is designed to move. His teaching centres on functional movement: yoga in service of how the body actually works, with attention to spine health, injury prevention, mobility and long-term physical resilience. Where many teachers focus on form, he focuses on function and explains the reason behind each movement.

He founded Pop Up Yoga Concepts in 2016 on the belief that yoga belongs in your life and not only in a studio. Before teaching he spent ten years in an international corporate career, and he lived with stress, emotional trauma and severe asthma during that time.

The Setting

Yogabee Retreat Centre sits in Domburg, in Zeeland, Netherlands, about one hour from Antwerp. The yoga room is large, well heated and looks out over the surrounding nature. A separate wellness house holds the dry sauna and indoor pool.

All rooms are twin rooms. There are three options: a smaller twin room sharing a bathroom, a standard twin room sharing a bathroom, and a twin room with an ensuite bathroom. Two rooms have ensuite bathrooms.

Meals are cooked from scratch by an onsite vegetarian chef, using organic and seasonal ingredients. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, with snacks throughout, and the food is described as colourful, richly flavoured and filling, with enough protein and none of the heaviness. Gluten-free and dairy-free options are available. Recipes are shared after the retreat, so you can cook the dishes at home.

Before You Go

The price covers accommodation in a twin room, all vegetarian meals and snacks, use of the pool and sauna, the yoga and functional movement classes, the breathwork session, the guided coastal walks and the recipes afterwards. Massage is the only extra, and it is charged separately.
