Ballymaloe House Hotel, located in the serene countryside of Shanagarry, County Cork, is a celebrated country house offering a blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Known for its warm hospitality, the hotel features beautifully appointed rooms, lush gardens, and a renowned restaurant serving seasonal, locally sourced cuisine. With its tranquil setting and rich cultural heritage, Ballymaloe House provides an authentic Irish experience perfect for relaxation and exploration.

A group airport transfer from Dublin Airport (DUB) will be provided on the first and last day of the retreat. The exact timing of the shuttle transfer will be confirmed 2-3 weeks before departure. The drive to Ballymaloe House Hotel takes about three hours from Dublin Airport.

A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your spot on the trip. The final balance payment is due by January 9, 2026. If you cancel before the final balance deadline, we will refund any payments you have made, minus the non-refundable deposit. If you do not complete the payment on your own by that date, the card on file will be automatically charged your remaining balance. If you register for the trip after January 9, 2026, the full amount is due at sign-up.  All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable after January 9, 2026. International Yoga must strictly adhere to its cancellation policy to offset costs incurred before the commencement of the retreat. Click here to view the Terms and Conditions to which you agree upon registration. 

If you wish to cancel your participation in this program, you must advise International Yoga in writing to: [email protected].

Early morning daily herbal tea & fruit will be offered in the Grainstore before yoga, in addition to daily breakfast, 3 lunches, and 4 gourmet, multi-course dinners. All other meals should be included in your planned budget.

We love to welcome solo travelers on our retreats! Most solo travelers prefer to book a single room, however, if you prefer to share a room, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If we are unable to find you a roommate, however, a single supplement will apply based on the difference in room costs. You will be notified 2 to 3 weeks before the start of the retreat if we haven't been able to match you with a roommate and we will send you an updated invoice at that time.

The hotel has a dedicated space for yoga with mats and props available so you do not need to travel with yours.

Gratuities are not included in the price of your trip. Tipping in Ireland is appreciated but not always expected. In restaurants, it is customary to leave a tip of about 10-15% if the service is good, although some establishments may include a service charge on the bill, in which case an additional tip is not necessary. For other services, such as taxi drivers or hotel staff, rounding up the fare or leaving a small tip is considered polite but not obligatory. We suggest a budget of around $10/day per guest.

At International Yoga, we strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance to protect yourself and your investment. Unexpected events—such as personal emergencies, political or environmental factors, health issues, or weather-related disruptions—can arise and may prevent or interrupt your travel plans. Note that because we must strictly adhere to our cancellation policy, you will be responsible for 100% of any costs associated with the cancellation or interruption of your retreat should you choose not to purchase travel insurance. 

While we do not provide recommendations for specific policies, we suggest exploring options through the reputable travel insurance aggregator, InsureMyTrip. They can help you find a provider and policy that best suits your needs. For maximum coverage, we advise purchasing travel insurance within 7–10 days of placing your initial deposit.
