Datu Retreats brings Ayurvedic programming to the Tuscan Hills

Bringing an authentic approach to Ayurveda to the heart of Tuscany in Italy, Datu Retreats has announced its 2025 programme at a stunning medieval borgo that has been transformed into a private country retreat.

The team, comprising 20 experienced experts, offers transformative, authentic wellbeing practices from across the Indian sub-continent with a focus on movement, health and nutrition. Pre and post-retreat consultations are provided as well as three in-person reviews during the stay and five body treatments tailored to enhance guest wellbeing. A daily retreat programme includes yoga, meditation, breathwork, chanting, art therapy, cooking lessons, nature activities, sound baths and inspiring talks.

Guests will enjoy delicious fusion meals influenced by Ayurvedic and Mediterranean cuisine and using fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Certain programmes feature a Michelin-star guest chef, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, whose award-winning restaurant is located a few miles from the retreat. www.datuwellness.com
