Where to Find Wellness and Yoga Retreats in Niue
Niue is one small island in the South Pacific, so getting to your wellness retreat will be easy with no island-hopping required once you get there. You’re never more than 30 minutes drive from just about anywhere on the island. So when searching for a wellness retreat on the island, simply searching for a “Niue retreat” will suffice.
Niue is unlike any other island in the South Pacific in that is a large raised coral atoll. It has no soft sandy beaches, so expect yoga classes and sessions to take place in venues with decks atop 30m (100ft) cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Speaking of venues, the only venue currently hosting retreats in Niue is the Scenic Matavai Resort. This four-star resort looks out onto the ocean from its modern resort rooms, where retreat-goers commonly stay in their Ocean View Rooms. There are a restaurant, pool and pool bar on site.
