Hotel de France, one of Jersey’s leading luxury hotels, has become the first hotel to launch hot yoga in a Butterfly Sanctuary as part of a new wellness retreat offering, designed specifically for retreat hosts, wellness groups, and curated group getaways.
Perfect for yoga retreats, corporate wellbeing escapes, friendship groups, or anyone seeking an all-inclusive wellness experience, the new package removes the stress of planning and allows guests to fully immerse themselves in relaxation, restoration, and connection.
The new 2-Night Ayush Wellness Retreat Organiser Package (from £499 per person) includes accommodation, airport transfers, dedicated studio space, nourishing breakfasts, wellness lunches and dinners, spa access, optional treatment add-ons, and curated island experiences such as cold-water swimming and beach sauna sessions. One of the most unique highlights is an exclusive hot yoga session within the Butterfly Sanctuary at Jersey Zoo, a truly one-of-a-kind experience never offered before. Designed to suit the needs of every group, the package can be fully tailored to create seamless, personalised stays within a supportive and wellness-focused environment.
Located in the heart of St Helier, Hotel de France provides the perfect island setting for immersive and restorative retreats. Just a short journey from the UK, Jersey’s mild climate, coastal scenery, and peaceful atmosphere create an ideal environment for guests to disconnect from everyday life and focus entirely on their wellbeing.
Ideal for intimate groups of 8–12 guests, the hotel combines luxury hospitality with a warm, highly personalised approach. A key highlight is the expansive Ayush Wellness Spa, a tranquil sanctuary designed to support rest, reconnection, and transformation. Guests can enjoy a full suite of world-class facilities, including an infinity pool, hydrotherapy pool with jacuzzi, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna and steam room, eight private treatment suites (including four double suites), relaxation room, and a quiet lounge. Retreat experiences can also be enhanced through personalised wellness consultations with the hotel’s in-house Ayurveda physician, Dr Prasanna, who offers expert guidance alongside tailored holistic therapies and treatments.
The hotel’s experienced retreat team works closely with organisers to curate every detail, from studio set-up and treatment schedules to bespoke menus and island excursions, ensuring a seamless and inspiring experience from start to finish.

Dr Prasanna, Spa Director at Hotel de France, said: “We’re incredibly proud to launch a retreat experience that feels both luxurious and completely effortless for guests. The package has been designed to remove the stress of planning, allowing groups to fully switch off, reconnect, and immerse themselves in wellness from the moment they arrive. We’re delighted to collaborate with a number of fantastic local businesses and experiences, showcasing the very best of what Jersey has to offer while creating something truly unique for our guests.”
Following a recent trip with multiple retreat leaders, the package received some fantastic feedback:
Retreat host Sasha Buchler said: “The itinerary was incredible, with one amazing experience after another. My highlight was the Kirtan on the last night (although the hot yoga in the butterfly house was also very unusual and novel), and it was an itinerary that I was excited about and would be excited to present to my retreat guests. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, I enjoyed all of it.”
Whether hosting yoga and mindfulness retreats, fitness programmes, wellness-focused celebrations, or restorative getaways with family and friends, the hotel’s integrated facilities and tranquil surroundings ensure every retreat feels effortless, memorable, and impactful.
The 2-Night Ayush Wellness Retreat Organiser Package is available from £499 per person, based on a minimum group size of 8 guests.
