In the heart of Wales' Dyfi Forest, 7 miles northeast of Machynlleth, Eco Retreats provides an ideal setting for a collection of exciting excursions (although many guests simply enjoy undisturbed relaxation in their private living spaces).

Located 25 minutes away from the main road and set on an organic working farm, this eco-friendly retreat immerses guests in the heart of the forest, offering accommodation in beautiful yurts. Escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and embrace the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, each other, and yourself, as you embrace the rhythms of the forest.

The enchanting drive through the forest marks the beginning of your adventure. Wake up to the melody of birdsong and the morning mist drifting over the trees. Your days can be as serene or as active as you desire, with beautiful walks on-site, excellent nearby walking trails, and some of the finest mountain biking in Wales. In the evening, indulge in a hot outdoor bath, enjoy the sunset, or gaze into the flames of a crackling fire. At night, be captivated by the breathtaking stars, free from the light pollution of the city.

Spread across an expansive 1300-acre farm, just 3 yurts are dispersed over 50 acres to preserve guest’s privacy and the serene beauty of the environment. The yurts are well-appointed with wood-burning stoves and cooking facilities. Each unit is located in its secluded area, away from other guests, featuring a private eco-loo, shower block, and an outdoor wood-fired bath. Outside, discover seating areas and facilities for open fires. With no electricity, the tents are illuminated at night with candles and lanterns.

Eco Retreats welcomes couples and families, providing a unique space to enjoy quality time together in a stunning location, far removed from the distractions of television, computers, and mobile phones. Children can relish the freedom of playing outdoors in meadows and streams. Couples and friends often visit to celebrate special occasions or simply to escape and embrace a more authentic way of life.

Year after year, Eco Retreats welcome back many guests who have fallen in love with the forest, returning to this peaceful sanctuary in order to rediscover their favourite spots and breathe in the gorgeous fresh air.

Committed to the conservation of the beautiful forest, the Eco Retreats team strive to harness its gentle power to captivate guests, helping them reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. They prioritise fair trade, organic, and eco-friendly products for guests and support companies working towards a more equitable world and the conservation of natural resources. The vision is to create a ripple effect, inspiring guests to live more consciously every day.

Unwind to the early morning birdsong, soak in hot baths at sunset, savour campfire meals, and marvel at the stunning starry skies. Welcome to a unique space where you can reconnect with life's simple joys in a beautiful and untamed environment.
