What Our Guests Say About Their Stay in the Jungle

At Into the Blue, we believe the best way to understand the magic of our jungle retreat is through the words of those who have experienced it. From peaceful mornings filled with birdsong to close encounters with wildlife, our guests leave with stories that capture the essence of this hidden paradise. Here are some of their reflections on their stay.

A Jungle Sanctuary Like No Other

"Waking up at Into the Blue was like stepping into a dream. The sounds of the jungle, the fresh air, and the peaceful surroundings made every morning special. I spent hours just watching the birds from the terrace—especially the bright blue kingfisher that seems to live here!" – Emma & Mark, UK

Wildlife at Your Doorstep

"I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like this. We had monkeys casually strolling by, and the squirrels were always up to something! But the highlight was seeing the rare grizzled giant squirrel—it was such a special moment." – James, Australia

"If you love nature, this place is paradise. You feel completely connected to the wild and the beaches that are within walking distance are absolutely beautiful and not too crowded" – Sophie, France

Yoga in the Jungle

"Practicing yoga in the open-air shala, surrounded by nature, was such a grounding experience. The morning sessions were the perfect way to start the day, with the sounds of the jungle creating a natural soundtrack for relaxation. The location is close to beautiful beaches - we’ll be back" – Anna, Sweden

"The yoga classes were a highlight of my stay—gentle yet invigorating. I left feeling more connected to my body and mind than ever before." – Matteo, Italy

A True Escape from the World

"Into the Blue is the perfect place to disconnect. No distractions—just the jungle and the ocean breeze. The shala was my favorite spot to unwind, especially after a relaxing massage arranged right at the retreat." – Alex, Germany

Surf, Sand & Stoke

"The surf coaching at Into the Blue was amazing! The instructor, Chami, really knew how to tailor the session to my level, and I felt my confidence grow with each wave. Plus, coming back to such a peaceful retreat after a morning in the water was the perfect balance." – Ben, South Africa

"I had never surfed before, but the coaching here made me fall in love with it! The lessons were fun and encouraging, and the surf spots were just breathtaking. I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again." – Zoe, Canada

Adventure Meets Tranquility

"We booked a safari to Yala through Into the Blue, and it was seamless from start to finish. The team organized everything—the jeep, the tickets, and the drive there and back. We didn’t see leopards this time but lots of elephants, and so many beautiful birds. Coming back to the calm of the retreat after an exciting day in the wild was perfect." – Priya & Daniel, USA

A Place That Stays With You

"Staying in ‘La Maison’ was pure magic! It is beautifully designed to blend with nature, spacious, and so peaceful. Waking up to the sounds of birds and looking out at the jungle was the perfect way to start the day. The beds were super comfortable, and the attention to detail made it feel like a true retreat." – Sophie, France

"This was one of the most relaxing stays I’ve ever had. The cottage is so beautiful and spacious - we love the big windows that let in the fresh air. I loved how everything felt open yet private. Falling asleep to the jungle sounds and waking up to a yoga class was a dream!" – Jake, Australia
