Slow Down and Breathe... Well...this is a long overdue review but nevertheless, it highlights the fact that even long after one leaves Amity, the continued effects and the enthusiasm to sing its praises remains strong!

I needed a physical and emotional detox after a very stressful building project which I knew had taken its toll on my health. In spite of a generally healthy lifestyle and good nutritional habits, I needed to recalibrate and to allow my body and mind to s-l-o-w down and to recover balance. My mind was busy, my body felt depleted and I just wanted somewhere where I could feel supported but not overly structured or stretched. Amity was sensational in all regards. My room was simple but comfortable and the internet was good. The location is far from the airport and was initially a little disconcerting - but once I had oriented myself, it came to feel like home.

The schedule is flexible, the food is nourishing and nutritious (made with LOVE) and the staff are gentle, generous and unobtrusive. I loved the simplicity of the time I spent there.

I enjoyed beautiful walks and the beach nearby is a lovely place to enjoy a refreshing couple of hours. I would have liked an option to visit the beach in the morning before it got uncomfortably hot or later in the afternoon to enjoy the ambience of a quieter time of day in the water but although the scheduled beach trip did not offer this option, I am sure an inexpensive scooter hop would have made this possible. I avoided this though since I wasn't feeling up to the 'negotiations' typically involved in these sorts of transactions;-)

I also have to mention the fabulous daily massages! They were absolutely wonderful and a highlight of the day with such caring practitioners. And last, but not least, I have to thank Nico for his patience with me whilst I arranged my trip over numerous emails. He is an amazingly caring person and a noteworthy ambassador for Amity. Palida is beautiful inside and out...and I have nothing but fond memories of everyone I encountered during my time at Amity. I'll definitely be back;-) More read less

An amazing experience My first experience at a detox and wellness programme at Amity was truly wonderful! The staff was friendly and professional. They tried their best to ensure everything was arranged and organised for us. We told that in order to experience a difference, at least a seven days programme is required.... read more So we had the seven days programme planned for us. Four days were on raw fast and three days were on intermittent fast. Our daily activities were planned carefully with breaks in between, to allow ourselves some personal time. Daily activities include a morning exercise - yoga, fitness or mountain walk, followed by either an Inflammation Pod, a massage or colonics. Noon time is usually a talk, food demo or some exercise. Evening time is a workshop. Steam sauna was also available at another place. You won't be bored in this place. I also took additional services like Body Alignment, Ear Candling and Float. They were great! Besides the raw food that we took, we were also given supplements to take. That was a bit too much for me to swallow though. Our meals were placed in the fridge in our room so that we can take them anytime we want. Although at the end of the programme, I did not lose must weight nor visceral fats, but I have gained a lot of knowledge from the workshops and talks. I have learned how to treat myself better in terms... My first experience at a detox and wellness programme at Amity was truly wonderful! The staff was friendly and professional.

I have learned how to treat myself better in terms of foods or supplements that are required. I came out of the programme feeling healthier. I would highly recommend this place for a holistic wellness programme. And I will be back again.

Thank you to Michelle, Nico and the great team for a wonderful experience! More read less
