Meet your hosts

Our Isle of Wight wellness retreat has been carefully crafted by Balance + Glo – an Island-based community of well-being and lifestyle specialists. With their local knowledge and wellness expertise, you'll be in very safe hands.

Balance + Glo was founded by personal trainer Evelyn Joyce and yoga instructor Jenny Stewart. They met as newcomers to the Island, and soon discovered they shared a vision. They wanted to create a platform for more people to discover a balanced approach to health and well-being.

And so, Balance + Glo's unique formula was brought to life. It's a formula founded on movement, nutrition and mindfulness – all interwoven with the power of nature and sense of adventure that are central to Island life.

 
  Luxury Family Glamping

We stayed 4 nights in the dome meadow in the most beautiful dome tent. On arrival the accommodation was spotless and so well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The dome was heated with a Dyson heater so we had a lovely warm welcome. The fridge was stocked with fresh milk and cold water, the fires were ready to be lit and all our beds were being warmed by electric blankets ready for the evening. The farm park was a 5 minute walk across the field, past the lambs and llama!! I have already recommended our stay to friends and we hope to be returning soon!!

  Great venue for a weekend break

Booked a long weekend break for the whole family + dog as a surprise 70th birthday treat for my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the cabin style accommodation was really nice and for a group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog it did not seem cramped at all. The on site attractions were just right for the kiddies and we didn't have to go off site for anything, plenty to see and do. Heartily recommend it for people of all ages.
