Ruth and her team are simply fantastic having assembled a 12-day package of Yoga for me. This turned out to be the best Yoga experience ever for me as the teachers and setting was amazing.

Hear From Our Previous Guests
We were very happy with our yoga retreat holiday, which was booked and organized with Ruth’s help from Secret Paradise. The company gave us the best rate for the holiday (even better than the hotel’s original rate) and was extremely efficient with the booking and communication. The eco concept of the hotel added a unique and engaging touch to the general exotic holiday experience.
We had a truly relaxing holiday in Maldives with the help of Secret Paradise. Thank you for your service and prompt communication. More power and definitely a high recommendation.
