Talalla Retreat is one of those places that just feels right the moment you arrive. Surrounded by nature, steps away from the ocean, and full of peace—it’s the kind of spot where you can truly switch off, breathe deep, and just be. A beautiful escape for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and themselves.

Talalla Retreat was the perfect way to end our trip. Quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by natural beauty, it truly felt like a little slice of paradise. We loved the delicious buffet meals, refreshing smoothies, and the incredibly relaxing massages. The private beach was a dream, and the stunning sunsets made our stay unforgettable. A serene spot to unwind and soak up the coastal charm.

Endroit magnifique avec un potentiel de fou. Nous avions les bungalow . Assez déçu . Ça demanderait une bonne réfection. Salles de bains assez limite. Fuite, miroir avec des taches, lavabo abîmé , pommeau de douche rouillé….. et quand il pleut fuite énorme dans la salle bain.!!!! on peut être dans un bungalow ouvert et avoir une qualité des lieux Pas de sèche cheveux, pas de frigo dans la chambre. Très agréable de dormir avec la nature . Piscine magnifique et parc arboré splendide. Très bons massages. Nourriture décevante . Petit déjeuner où il manque du bacon ou des saucisses . Pas trop de choix. jus de fruits frais payant. . Bouteille d’eau payante . Assez déçu. Nous avons manger en extérieur pour les repas de midi et du soir . C est dommage car beaucoup de potentiel. Plage jolie . Endroit assez reposant

Such a fantastic place. Run by Aussie peeps from byron bay so it’s very easy going, relaxed and hip. Can do yoga surfing and the beach is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Food is good too also it is in massive gardens so it’s super quiet and green. Nice pool. But watch out for monkeys who will come into the room if you have food in there.

I was moved to Talalla Retreat when my previous hotel couldn't accommodate me at the last minute and it was the best thing that could have happened! Everything was amazing, the scenery, the food, the animals, the friendly staff, the spa treatments, morning beach walks, swimming under the stars in the gorgeous pool and the surf lessons! Would highly recommend Talalla Retreat to anyone who wants a peaceful stay and restorative break. Just bring insect repellent

We just spent two fantastic weeks in a cozy bamboo hut at Talalla retreat. Everything from the facilities, the fresh food and drinks, relaxing massages to the really amazing people in the staff have made us feel so welcome and satisfied. Last but not least we have to mention the Yoga. We practised yoga more than 20 times during our stay. Under the guidance from the most competent and truly wonderful teachers Leonor and Omaya we have developed our bodies as well as our minds. We will definitly be back!

Absolutely loved this place. Peaceful and beautiful and all of the staff and yoga teachers were top class with excellent yoga facilities . Felt like home from home. And the most stunning beach. Lovely spa and very good buffet style food. Hope to return one day.
