Small-group retreats for couples who want more than a good hotel. Real experiences, proper downtime, and a host couple who have done all the organising so you don't have to.
Hosted by Stacey and Ollie, who have run more than fifteen retreats between them.
You can have a hotel, where nothing happens. Or you can have an itinerary, where you spend the week keeping up. We built OhSoTogether for the bit in between: a week with real things in it, room to breathe, and someone else holding the clipboard.
Together
The moments you'll still be talking about in ten years. A leopard at dusk. A walk through the bush with a guide who reads tracks like a newspaper. Dinner under more stars than you knew existed. We build the week around these.
Apart
Nobody wants every hour scheduled with their other half, however much they love them. One of you fishes; one of you reads by the pool. One does yoga at sunrise; one sleeps. Then you meet back for breakfast with something to tell each other.
With good company
Five couples, no more. Enough people for a proper table at dinner and a few new friends. Few enough that it never feels like a tour. You'll do some things as a group and plenty as just the two of you.
You come back closer, with a story you couldn't have organised yourselves.
Is this you?
There is no test. But we notice the same reasons come up.
You have a milestone coming up and a nice dinner doesn't feel like enough.
You go away together and spend the first three days recovering from organising it.
One of you wants to do things; the other wants to do nothing. You would both like to stop arguing about it.
You've never been on safari and would rather do it properly than work it out alone.
You have children, parents, a business, or all three, and a week that is actually yours has not happened in years.
This is not a relationship retreat. There are no workshops, no exercises, no circles. If you are looking for that kind of help, there are people who do it well and we are not them. This is a very good week away, run by a couple who care about the details.
All couples welcome. You do not need to be into yoga, fit, or a morning person. You do need a valid passport and an appetite.
Who you're travelling with
Hosted by a couple, for couples
We are Stacey and Ollie. We are married, we have three boys, and we know exactly how rare a week away that is actually about the two of you can be. That is why we run these.
Stacey
Stacey founded OhSoYoga and has hosted more than fifteen retreats in Greece, Morocco, South Africa and the UK. Guests describe her as warm, kind and very good at reading what a group needs, whether that is a sunrise session or a lie-in. She has been to Nambiti before, knows the lodge team, and is the reason the week runs smoothly. She also teaches the optional yoga and mindfulness, pitched for people who have never done either.
Ollie
Ollie has spent his career designing award-winning customer experiences for large organisations, which in practice means he is the one worrying about the transfer timings so you don't have to. He is not a yoga person, which is useful, because it means like-minded guests have someone to skip the sunrise session and sip coffee with. Fishing, the walking safari and the Drakensberg day are his.
No, and we would rather you didn't. The big shared moments are the point, but so is the time in between, and plenty of couples split up for it. Every retreat is built with both.
One of us isn't a yoga person. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Yoga is a daily option on our retreats, not a requirement, and about half the guests skip it. Ollie will be having a coffee if you want company.
Is this a relationship or therapy retreat?
No. There are no workshops or exercises. It is a very good week away for two people who like each other.
How many other people will there be?
It depends on the retreat, and it is always small. South Africa is five couples maximum; the Turquoise Coast sailing week is six. Plus the two of us.
Are flights included?
No. We tell you exactly which airport and arrival window to book for, and we meet you on arrival. Keeping flights separate lets you use points, fly from your nearest airport, or add a few days somewhere.
Is it suitable for same-sex couples?
Yes. All couples are welcome.
Do we have to be a couple?
Most of our guests are, and the week is built for two people who want time together. Two good friends, siblings, or a parent and grown-up child are welcome too. Tell us who you are travelling with when you register and we will sort the beds. Tell us and we will tell you what each retreat can do.
Where next?
South Africa is the first, in October 2027. The Turquoise Coast sailing retreat follows, also in 2027. Register interest and tell us where you would like to go after that.
Register interest
No commitment. Tell us who you are and where you would like to go, and we will send you retreat details as they are confirmed. If you want to secure a suite on the South Africa retreat, say so and we will come back to you first.
We only use your details to talk to you about OhSo retreats. We never sell or share them. Privacy policy
