I was moved to Talalla Retreat when my previous hotel couldn't accommodate me at the last minute and it was the best thing that could have happened! Everything was amazing, the scenery, the food, the animals, the friendly staff, the spa treatments, morning beach walks, swimming under the stars in the gorgeous pool and the surf lessons! Would highly recommend Talalla Retreat to anyone who wants a peaceful stay and restorative break. Just bring insect repellent

Amazing setting! Would recommend staying for a couple of nights. Food is gorgeous. The spa and massages are unreal!!!! Staff super friendly and helpful. The pool is gorgeous and the sunrises are out of this world! Yoga classes with the sounds of nature are amazing

We just spent two fantastic weeks in a cozy bamboo hut at Talalla retreat. Everything from the facilities, the fresh food and drinks, relaxing massages to the really amazing people in the staff have made us feel so welcome and satisfied. Last but not least we have to mention the Yoga. We practised yoga more than 20 times during our stay. Under the guidance from the most competent and truly wonderful teachers Leonor and Omaya we have developed our bodies as well as our minds. We will definitly be back!

Such a fantastic place. Run by Aussie peeps from byron bay so it’s very easy going, relaxed and hip. Can do yoga surfing and the beach is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Food is good too also it is in massive gardens so it’s super quiet and green. Nice pool. But watch out for monkeys who will come into the room if you have food in there.

Absolutely loved this place. Peaceful and beautiful and all of the staff and yoga teachers were top class with excellent yoga facilities . Felt like home from home. And the most stunning beach. Lovely spa and very good buffet style food. Hope to return one day.

Disappointing. Such a beautiful property and so much potential, but there is no soul to it. This place really needs to decide what it wants to be: a yoga retreat, a surf camp, or just a simple holiday resort. It markets itself as a yoga resort but yet there is very little yoga. Charging guests 15USD per drop in very off putting as there were only a couple of people in the classes at any time. When I was there there was a group of boozy Brits hogging the pool all day. Not what I was expecting at all...

Beautiful location pool and beach. Friendly staff. Food good but often curries were cold. Massages were excellent. Billed as a retreat, for our stay sadly there were far too many noisy euro youths monopolising the pool playing vigorous ball games. Looks to me as if it could do with some better management!
