A five-day health program in the scenic hills near the Heritage town of Westport, on the shores of Clew bay. Running for over 35 years, Cloona offers a unique program with gentle but firm direction in a light and positive environment. All that is required of you is commitment, openness, self respect and a dash of humour...
This health retreat program, whilst it is for over 60s, is our standard program and requires a certain minimum level of fitness and agility. In particular, guests must be able to climb stairs comfortably as all the bedrooms are located on the upper floors and there is no lift.
With regard to yoga, no previous experience is necessary.
Guests must be prepared to set out on the group walk, although no particular distance or speed is required.
Prospective guests must notify us of any relevant health issues and, if deemed necessary, obtain consent from their doctor.
Prior preparation is essential: guests must give up tea, coffee, alcohol, red meat, and all sweets (biscuits, chocolates etc) five days before the program starts. This is to ensure an easy transition into the dietary regime.
Places are limited, and a booking deposit of €200 is required at time of booking.
For guests using public transport to Westport transfers to and from Cloona will be provided free of charge.
Booking may be made

“I have never enjoyed a week as much as I did at Cloona. Thank you.” R.D. (N. Ireland)
“I spent five days at Cloona ….. I have meant to write so many times to thank Dhara and his team for that unique experience – it was such an escape from the noisy, greedy and fairly superficial world so many of us live in. Throughout my stay there the word that kept coming to mind was ‘integrity’. I am looking forward to my next visit” M.K. (Dublin )
“Just a note to say thank you for my stay recently with you … it seems like a dream now!’’ M.M. (Sligo)
“I’m just writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay in Cloona a few weeks ago. I loved the walking, the food, the rest, the saunas, the massage and especially the yoga …. I also really enjoyed the group and thought everyone got along really well and that there were lots of really funny moments” Maureen McC. (Co. Dublin)
“Thank you once again for Cloona. Sorry it has taken me nearly two months to write this card….. I’m not able to express at the moment what I got from the week, I just know I will keep coming back. Thank you.” B.C. ( Athlone)
"I would like to thank you for the excellence of the program, its refined simplicity and deft delivery. I arrived thinking I would lose a few pounds and feel less sluggish.
