Create Your Perfect Spring Retreat in Göcek, Turkey
There are a couple of simple choices to make to create the Turkish retreat that’s just right for you. Simply choose your preferred room type and get ready to ground yourself in nature.
1. Your Retreat Details
This is a 6-day / 5-night immersive retreat running from Wednesday 15th to Sunday 20th April 2027. This single-date format allows the group to arrive, settle, and journey through the experience together, creating a beautiful shared energy from start to finish.
2. Select Your Room Type
All eco-lodges are crafted from reclaimed Anatolian wood, feature high-quality linens, comfortable beds, spacious ensuite bathrooms, and private garden terraces to enjoy the mountain air.
- Single Eco Hut (£999 per person) For those travelling solo, offering a private and peaceful space with a double bed to rest and connect with nature.
- Shared Eco Hut (£829 per person) Ideal for friends travelling together or for solo travellers happy to share with a new friend. This option is for a single bed in a lodge with 2 people.
- Single or Shared Standard Rooms: (£899 Solo / £729 Shared ) These rooms feature Three Single Beds. Please note these rooms do no feature the large vista windows found in the Eco Huts, but offer a cozy, communal atmosphere.
While I’ll always do my best to match you with a roommate for shared stays, if that’s not possible for some or all of your stay, the single room rate will apply.
3. What's Included in Your 5-Night Stay
This is a fully immersive experience designed to help you pause, ground, and restore.
Your Accommodation & Nourishment:
- 5 nights accommodation in a stunning eco-luxury lodge with an ensuite bathroom.
- Delicious, nourishing, and locally sourced vegetarian meals: 3 per day (buffet breakfast, wholesome lunch, and freshly prepared dinner).

- Full use of the retreat facilities, including the freshwater swimming pool, hammocks, daybeds, and tranquil forest trails.
Your Wellness Journey with Jo:

- 4 x Morning Qi Gong Practices to gently move your body and calm your mind in the great outdoors.

What Happens Next?
Secure your space with a £200 non-refundable deposit. Once your deposit is paid, I recommend booking your flights and taking out travel insurance (in case you need to cancel).
Booking flights - My suggested flight is from Gatwick to Dalaman on Easyjet. More detail to follow.
Full payment must be made at least 60 days prior to travel. You can choose to pay the balance via instalments or 60 days prior travel. Please email to advise which you prefer - hello@jodarling.co.uk and we'll set up for you.
Next steps - once full payment is received you'll be sent a full welcome booklet with info such as itinerary, packing suggestions. You'll also be asked for your flight details and health information for acupuncture treatment.
Transfers will be arranged before we travel. The cost is between £5-£35 per person depending on the number of people sharing. I try and put people together in transfer groups to keep the cost down.
Travel insurance is mandatory; please ensure you have this in place when you book for your peace of mind.
Flight times are just over 4 hours. Average temperature this time of year is around 21 degrees.
Faqs
Terms and Conditions
What if I book a shared room but no roommate is available?
If you choose a shared room, I’ll always do my best to match you with a suitable roommate. Most of the time, this works out beautifully — many retreaters come solo and are happy to share.
However, if I’m unable to pair you with someone for some or all of your stay, you’ll be offered the room as a single and charged the single occupancy rate for the nights without a roommate. I’ll always keep you informed in advance so there are no surprises, and I’ll confirm final arrangements as we get closer to the retreat date.
