La Vida Veda in Saint Lucia

with Jasmine Hemsley from 4th – 9th July, 2025

Following the success of her 2024 retreat, Jasmine Hemsley is returning 4th – 9th July to Saint Lucia for summer 2025.

Spend five days with Jasmine for a wellbeing retreat inspired by her passion for Ayurveda. Enjoy relaxing daily yoga and sound baths, along with educational talks and nature walks on one of the most beautiful islands of the Caribbean. Set in the lush rainforest, immerse yourself in the natural island environment as you take in the epic views. Tuck into a delicious menu designed by Jasmine in partnership with our expert chefs, using fresh, seasonal and local produce. Leave feeling reinvigorated and inspired to know your mind-body better.

Discover Hotel Chocolat’s Caribbean Estate

The retreat will take place here on the Rabot Estate in Saint Lucia and you’ll stay at the estate’s Rabot Hotel. Set within a UNESCO world heritage site, and on our working organic cacao farm, our hotel offers a unique, luxury stay in Saint Lucia’s rainforest.

Overlooking the island’s iconic Petit Piton mountain, our open-air resort comprises 25 private lodges, a restaurant and bar, infinity pool and spa. There’s a world of experiences to discover across the hotel’s 140-acre Rabot Estate, and beyond. Guests on the retreat will be able to learn about a sustainable approach to cacao-growing, explore the diverse nature on the estate trails and enjoy a dip in the mud baths at the nearby Sulphur Springs as well as a day trip to a luxury beach club on the island.
