Host Your Retreat at The Lookout

A retreat venue in the South Downs designed to support retreat organisers

The Lookout Retreat is a calm, spacious and carefully held venue for retreat organisers, facilitators and wellbeing practitioners looking to host meaningful residential retreats in nature.

Set within the South Downs National Park, just 20 minutes from Brighton and 3 minutes from the sea, the retreat offers seclusion, comfort and ease — without feeling remote.

Sleeping up to 24 guests, the space is ideal for yoga retreats, wellbeing retreats, creative and music retreats, and conscious group gatherings.

A space that supports your retreat

The Lookout Retreat offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces that allow your retreat to unfold naturally and with flow.

Retreat organisers regularly host:

• Yoga and movement practices

• Breathwork and meditation sessions

• Nutrition and wellbeing workshops

The retreat features a natural tiered amphitheatre carved into the hillside, perfect for outdoor practice, alongside comfortable communal areas and quiet spaces for rest and integration.

Accommodation & group living

Your group will stay across:

• A spacious main house with communal living and dining areas

• Two bespoke cabins

• A luxury bell tent (available spring–summer)

Accommodation configurations vary by season, allowing flexibility depending on group size and retreat style.

Support for retreat organisers

We aim to make the logistics of hosting a retreat feel simple and well-supported, so you can focus on your group.

We can help with:

• Private chefs experienced in retreat catering

• Local wellbeing practitioners (on request)

• Clear arrival, departure and parking logistics

• Flexible layouts for practice and gathering

The venue works well for both first-time retreat leaders and experienced facilitators.

Nature, rest & inspiration

Surrounded by rolling countryside with expansive views, The Lookout Retreat offers a grounded, nourishing environment where guests can slow down, connect and reset. Coastal walks, sea swims and evenings under the stars are all part of the rhythm here.
