These are the Devon yoga and meditation retreats that had bookable dates when we checked their listings on 4 October 2026. Each entry gives the dates, the price per person and the cancellation terms the host publishes. Prices on BookRetreats are converted from US dollars at the site’s own rate, so the figure at checkout can move slightly.
Start with what you want from the time away. Some of these retreats are built around wild swimming and walking, some around a pool and sauna, and two are meditation retreats where yoga is a small part of the day. Then check the room type. Several retreats sell a place in a shared twin or a camping pitch at the lowest price, and the private rooms cost more.

The days combine Hatha, Yin and restorative yoga with breathwork, meditation and trauma release exercises (TRE), with free time for the heated pool and sauna.

Yin and Vinyasa at Sharpham House, near Totnes
Joy Kao’s weekend uses Sharpham House, a Grade I-listed Georgian house on the Sharpham Estate above the River Dart, three miles from Totnes at the edge of Ashprington. The estate has gardens, a walled garden with an outdoor swimming pool, and its own organic farm.
Mornings are Vinyasa flow and afternoons are Yin or restorative, with pranayama, meditation, optional guided walks and an optional aromatherapy and massage workshop. The Sharpham kitchen cooks vegetarian and plant-based meals, much of it from the estate. Groups run 10 to 16. Totnes station is on the line from London Paddington, but from there it is a 45 to 60 minute walk or a short taxi ride.
Two nights, 7-9 May 2027. From £535 for a single room, £550 each sharing a double or twin, and £630 for an en-suite double on your own. The deposit is refunded in full up to 60 days before the start, and half at 30-59 days. The reviews on this listing appear to come from Joy’s earlier retreats at other venues.
An October weekend in the South Hams
The Sweet Life Retreat, run by Megan Brown and Charlie Faulkner, takes over a Georgian farmhouse near Kingston in the South Hams, close to the South West Coast Path. The house has a yoga barn, an indoor heated pool and a cinema room, and a private chef cooks brunch, afternoon snacks and a family-style dinner each day.
Each morning starts with about two hours of yoga, mixing Vinyasa, mandala flow and Yin. Afternoons are free or taken up with an optional coastal walk or workshop, and evenings bring a restorative class, a sound bath or yoga nidra. Groups run two to 10.
Three nights, 16-19 October 2026, with six places left when we checked. £895 per person in a shared twin, or £1,395 for a private super-king room. Free cancellation up to the day before arrival, with the balance paid on arrival. The four reviews on this listing are of the hosts’ retreats in Spain and Bali, not this one.

Before you book
Read the cancellation terms on the booking page, not only the headline. Four of the retreats above take a deposit that you lose if you cancel, and several ask for the balance 30 or 42 days before the start. BookRetreats also shows a short free-cancellation window after booking on some listings; check how it applies to the retreat you choose.
Check the reviews as well as the score. On three listings the reviews describe the host’s earlier retreats at other venues, which tells you about the teacher but not the Devon house.
If you want a retreat that is not yoga-led, two other Devon hosts had dates when we checked. Ginkgo at Dawlish runs small mind-healing breaks for one to four people, and says plainly that it is not a yoga retreat. The Space in Torquay runs weekends with sunrise beach yoga, sound baths and, on its WeWILD weekend, a sauna and cold plunge.
