“Detox yes, loose weight yes - and the real magic are the treatments!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I agree with all the good things said earlier by others about this experience, you will leave feeling great, exhilarated, relaxed, healthy - exceptional really. It's not easy but it's not as hard as you'd think and I met some really nice people which helped enormously.

Here is the magic though. I have been to many of the best spas around the world and on the receiving end of some of the most wonderful treatments you could imagine. Let me say one thing first: This is n o t a spa, so don't go expecting that please. What I found was an experience much better than any treatment I've ever had before. Benita and her team deliver a range of massages that are somewhere close to a bit of magic. There is something for everyone and every style and each one is personalised just for you with a lovely touch.

My recommendation is to book as many as you can realistically afford/are available for you. You won't regret it, they will change the your whole fasting experience for something better and after the great new contacts I have made the amazing feeling from the treatments is the next best thing to take away with you.

Thanks to everyone at Sura Detox for a great week and especially to Benita and her team for adding the magic.

“More praise for Sura”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

This was my second visit to Sura Detox, and again the physical, mental and emotional change in me after a week with the Sura team has amazed me. It really is difficult to explain to people how spending what seems like a lot of money on a week without food (bar juice and a meal on the last day) can be such good value, but I can honestly say at this moment in time I can't think of anything better to have spent my money on. The combination of beautiful, spotless and cosy accommodation (a previous negative review utterly perplexus me, what a shame they obviously left without giving the place a chance), the care, professionalism, expertise and support given by the core team of four, unchanged from my last visit over two years ago, the peace, tranquility, thinking time, nutritional talks, superb treatments/massages, fantastic group of fellow 'detoxers' (a mix of both sexes from all walks of life), but most of all the attention to detail and genuine desire to make the experience special and tailored to each individual, according to our needs - all this makes this a very special experience whose impact reaches way beyond the week. The ten pounds I have lost (nothing gained back yet) is just a bonus and relatively unimportant compared to the more fundamental changes I know it will make in my life. Thank you Dao, Amida, Benita and Kate!

Room Tip: Stay in a shared cottage if want to be more sociable, the farmhouse if you want more 'time out...

“Sura detox retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

I have just completed a week with the amazing team of Sura and wanted to give the 'reader ', you, some details to add to your research and decision making. Sura was recommended to me by a friend who has done the retreat twice. I was a bit concerned about the cost and making sure i was going to get value for money. When I left a week later I can say hand on heart it was worth every penny. What I recieved was thorough and very, very inciteful knowledge, plenty of gentle exercise, great accommodation, amazing...and I mean amazing therapists (hmmmm), and to top it all the group were just normal and no extreme health nuts!!!

The Sura team could not have been more helpful and kind. so i would highly recommend Sura to you and hope you decide to go.

“Food for thought and thought for food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

person found this review helpful

After leaving the Sura Detox Retreat this morning my head hasn't stopped spinning!
I have shopped and researched raw foods and shopped some more and am really excited about my future eating.
The team were fantastic. Dao's talks very informative and thought provoking, along with informal chats and discussions. Amida's Meditation and Tai Chi wonderfully relaxing and fun (not withstanding the jokes). Broth also got my vote. Benita and her team-superb treatments. I had four, all different and of equally high standard. Kate listened , advised and encouraged - all very positive and reaffirming. Nicky's yoga was gentle but encouraging too.
Thank you all very much for an experience to treasure

Going to this detox reshaped my health and life. I have been twice and will go again. For what one gets it is not expensive

Room Tip: single rooms in a cottage with shared bathroom are quieter
