Expert Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian Hala El‐Shafie and her team of style experts have created a unique, very specific, insightful and rewarding retreat.

This week-long programme will empower you to focus and develop the values needed for ‘Loving the skin you’re in’ – nourishing both mind, body and spirit through workshop sessions, one-to-one sessions and some amazing and thought-provoking trips into the local countryside and community. As well as enjoying some colourful, cultural experiences and physical and emotional stimulation, you will embark on a journey of self‐discovery and renewed confidence, supported by our team of experts and inspired by your wonderful surroundings.

Hibiscus House is a small, private and personal family-run boutique venue, set in the heart of an African Village. The unique location within the local community makes it possible to experience the real Gambia as well as explore the coast, river and bolons. Hibiscus House is set within beautiful relaxing tropical gardens, close to the stunning coastline, nature reserves, traditional fishing villages and markets that typify the genuine African experience. At Hibiscus House you will be surrounded by an abundance of nature, with a huge diversity of bird-life and monkey species on your doorstep, as well as a vibrant, welcoming and ever-smiling community of charming people, unfettered by so many of the flimsy concerns that all too often weigh us down.

Your body will be nourished with an abundance of fresh foods locally sourced and we will even show you how to harvest and create some of these amazing dishes!

Seven days of inspirational and motivational coaching all geared to embracing, loving and nurturing your body, and understanding all the influences that go into making you the best that you can be, bubbling with confidence and able to love & rock the skin you’re in!
