Latest update: 2 March 2023

Do you feel like you could use some inner peace and me-time? A yoga holiday or yoga weekend in the Netherlands is wonderfully relaxing and consists of so much more than just yoga. Fantastic accommodations, beautiful walks, healthy food, and more. Check the list with great options for yoga retreats in the Netherlands.

A yoga retreat is a beautiful gift for yourself. And you don’t have to travel far at all; more than enough yoga retreats in the Netherlands are available. Most yoga retreats are actually a yoga weekend: two nights and three days. But there are certainly more extended options as well.

In addition to the number of days, it is also important to take a good look at the yoga retreat program. Often there are all kinds of nice combinations on the schedule. For example, sometimes there are cooking workshops, others offer SUP yoga, and you also have retreats that focus on a specific theme. Also, pay close attention to the yoga style. Maybe you like to try different types of yoga during your retreat?

For almost all yoga retreats, the organization provides yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, etc. But if you prefer to bring your own mat, see if you can find a nice, light travel yoga mat.

And, if your Dutch could be better, please check with the organizer if you can join or if English is an option.

Here are a few lovely yoga retreats in the Netherlands for you!

Yoga and detox in Zandvoort (3 days)

A fantastic yoga retreat on the beach. You are going to take excellent care of your body for three days. Yoga classes, breathing workshops, and juice fasting: you get the whole package. You stay in a nice hotel near the beach and the center of Zandvoort. There are private rooms, but you can also share a room. You stay close to the beach, so there is definitely time for a nice walk on the beach during this yoga retreat.

Yoga retreat and coaching with horses in Zeeland (3 days)

What a unique combination! This retreat offers several coaching sessions with horses. The teacher lets you experience different yoga styles. You can expand the yoga retreat schedule with individual experiences: chair massage, career coaching, or something else. You have to pay a little extra for this. A very diverse yoga weekend.

Luxurious wellness, yoga, and walking retreat in Wageningen (2 days)

In Wageningen, right next to the Rhine, you can focus entirely on the theme ‘love’ for two days. You stay in a luxury hotel where you can use all facilities. On the day of arrival, you will get to know your fellow yogis over a three-course dinner. And, of course, there is also yoga on the schedule that day. On day two, there is again time for yoga, but also a walk, and wellness facilities. Because this yoga retreat is shorter, it is perfect for you if you want to try and see if a yoga retreat is something for you.

Feelgood yoga retreat in the Brabantse Kempen (3 days)

During Franka’s yoga retreat, you will fully relax. Surrounded by the forest and as few external stimuli as possible. So no TV, and maybe also a good excuse to go offline for a weekend? There is a lot of yoga on the program, and the nice thing is that every class is different: yin, nidra, vinyasa… The surroundings are beautiful, so take the time to find lovely spots in nature to do some journaling.

Meditation and yoga retreat on Vlieland (3 days)

Going to the Wadden Islands is always a good idea. You immediately feel completely disconnected from ‘ordinary’ life. Stay near the beach in a nice hotel and enjoy the peace. The program includes a lot of meditation and quiet yoga (yin yoga). Selfcare is the common thread of this yoga weekend.

Heart of Yoga retreat in Siddeburen (4 days)

If you’re thinking: Siddeburen? It’s in Groningen. That’s where the beautiful retreat center of The Land of Now is, and it includes an outdoor sauna! The Heart of Yoga retreat is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in yoga because there are also interesting lectures and workshops on Ayurveda and yoga philosophy. With that knowledge, you also deepen your physical yoga sessions.

Yoga retreat in Domburg (3 days)

Travel to beautiful Zeeland and enjoy this wonderful yoga retreat by the sea. There are four beautiful yoga classes for you on the schedule and a heart meditation. And even an oriental ritual. You will discover what that is during the weekend. You stay with your fellow yogis in a beautiful house where you can chat for a while, retreat to your own room or enjoy the sauna!

Detox and yoga weekend in Vlodrop (3 days)

During this yoga weekend in Limburg, you get detox AND yoga. And don’t worry: it’s not just juices; there are also healthy wraps and soups for those who want some extras.

You also practice yoga and regularly go for a nice walk in the forest.

Yoga and silence retreat in Renkum (3 days)

Yoga and meditation are alternated with silent walks, and if you like it, you can participate in group circles or have a reflective conversation with supervisor Laura. During this yoga retreat, you fully enjoy nature, as you are in the middle of the woods. The real die-hards even sleep in a tent, but you can also reserve a room – no worries. With both options, you get to stoke a fire! Imagine some guitar music by the bonfire…

Relax & Remember yoga retreat on a secret Wadden Island (4 days)

This is a beautifully designed yoga retreat of no less than four days, including a day on Texel. It’s called a Remember retreat because it’s meant to find yourself again, for example, after a stressful or difficult period. So that you feel the peace again to make new memories. There are, of course, various yoga classes, but also fun workshops to join. How about Ayurvedic cooking, intuitive painting, or breathwork?
