Where can you go to relax the mind and rejuvenate the body in Tonga? Just about anywhere in this stunning island archipelago does the trick!

Note that Tonga is an ever-evolving country with some services that accommodations provide changing with little notice. While we try to keep our accommodation listings up-to-date, know that some services may have changed. If you have an update, feel free to reach out.
1. Sea Change Eco Retreat (Ha’apai)
An idyllic eco-resort on a sandy uninhabited island in Ha’apai, the Sea Change Eco Retreat is highly recommended for any keen yogi. Enjoy independent sessions in the dedicated yoga shala, nestled in the shade of coconut trees, or join one of the yoga classes (only available when the yoga instructor is on-island, so be sure to inquire). Needless to say, Sea Change is also a favourite for yoga retreats when the resort is open between May and November. In terms of accommodation, the resort has wooden fales scattered throughout a coastal forest, as well as glamping tents. Learn more about the resort in The Top 30 Resorts in Tonga.

Another resort in the Ha’apai Group, yet feels like a world away from the rest, is the Serenity Beaches Resort. The resort is a top destination for yoga retreats thanks to its spacious octagonal yoga pavilion nestled among the coconut trees on the edge of a private beach. On the other hand, if you’re just staying here as a casual guest, yoga mats are available for some self-guided yoga, while the inspirational owner of the resort, an author who is still rocking this retreat in her 80s, will be happy to give you some pointers. The resort offers a range of accommodations, from unique open-air fales to more private enclosed fales. Learn more about the resort, as well as others in the island group, in the 10 Best Resorts in Ha’apai.
