Detox Retreats

Detox retreats: what they involve

The word covers different programmes. An Ayurvedic detox follows Ayurveda's cleansing routines, often with daily oil treatments and a set vegetarian diet. A juice or cleanse retreat replaces some or all meals with juices and light food. A digital detox asks you to put your phone away and spend the time outdoors or in class.

6 of the 16 programmes here run about two weeks or longer, which suits a full Ayurvedic course. 14 of the 16 programmes here start between $696 and $3,080 per person, and the median starting price is $1,298.

No retreat can tell you whether a restricted diet or a fast is right for you. If you take medication, are pregnant or manage a condition such as diabetes, talk to your own doctor before booking, and ask the host who supervises the programme.
