My longtime school friend and I decided to celebrate our recent 50th birthdays doing something a little different and so chose to do a yoga retreat. I found the Langkawi yoga retreat online purely by searching and liked the sound of the program, package and price. The reviews read well even though they were a few years earlier, so we chose to come from New Zealand to Langkawi, Malaysia for a 10 day trip overall, and we were definitely not disappointed! The yoga retreat and our stay at AmbongAmbong was the highlight of our trip. Dorothy's instruction in yoga, meditation, and relaxation over the 7 classes was wonderful, challenging, and of great personal gain and improvement. I just wish I had a 'Dorothy' back home. The program is well put together with some well needed pampering of foot reflexology and full body massage halfway through which was also a lovely treat. The meals included in the package at nearby local restaurants, some award winning also, were tasty, wholesome and healthy and much enjoyed. AmbongAmbong was a lovely, smaller and personable resort setting for the retreat, set in the rainforest hillside immediately above the main beach- access road. The staff of AmbongAmbong were friendly, welcoming and totally accommodating of our every need and the availability of our own personal driver to drop and collect us as we needed made arrangements so seamless. The beach 5 minutes away is beautiful and safe for a welcoming swim.
I sincerely recommend Dorothy's Langkawi Yoga retreat and recommend staying onsite at The AmbongAmbong to complete the experience.
