Alanya (Turkey)
Soft-Life Escape:
a halal-conscious luxury retreat for women

The Offer
This one is simple: book it, pack a bag, arrive.
This Elevated Essence retreats is a holiday, not a programme. There's no application, no vetting call, and no coursework waiting for you when you land just a beautifully arranged five days on the coast, built around the rhythms women actually ask for: warmth, stillness, good food, and each other's company.
Alanya gives us all of it. Hammam built into the hillside, a coastline made for a private boat, and a villa quiet enough for the pool days that end up being everyone's favourite part.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Booking & Payment
-
No. This retreat is open booking. There's no application or vetting call. Choose your room and secure your spot with the £300 deposit.
-
It secures your spot and your chosen room type. The remaining balance is split across a monthly payment plan, with everything settled by mid-May 2027.
-
You'll receive a secure payment link by email after booking, and you can pay monthly at your own pace until the final balance is due.
-
The £300 deposit is non-refundable once your spot is secured. Payments made toward your balance beyond the deposit are refundable if you cancel more than 60 days before departure. Within 60 days of departure, all payments made become non-refundable, as this is when we confirm final numbers with our vendors.
If you need to cancel at any point, you're welcome to transfer everything you've paid. Deposit included toward a future Elevated Essence retreat or a Pearl Institute coaching package instead.
-
You have a 7-day grace period to catch up on any missed payment. If a payment is more than 7 days late, we'll reach out to check in. Life happens, and we'd rather work with you than lose you. If we're unable to reach an agreement or the balance falls significantly behind schedule, your room may be released to the waitlist and your deposit forfeited, so it does help to flag early if a payment's going to be late.
