Amara Moon
Yoga & Wellness Sanctuary · Orangekloof Valley, Hout Bay
A forest retreat designed to nurture the well-being of every visitor.
To relax, feel and explore yourself from a place of joy and wonderment.
Amara Moon is a small well-being sanctuary nestled in the leafy heart, Cape Town's most breathtaking coastal valleys. Cradled between beautiful mountains, indigenous fynbos and the Atlantic Ocean, it is a place where nature invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself. Legend has it that where the oceans meet, the land holds a rare and powerful energy. Surrounded by the constant movement of wind, water, earth and sky, many who visit the Cape describe an immediate sense of peace, grounding and belonging... as though they have finally come home.
Our Balinese inspired grounds and accommodations redefine comfort and style, allowing you to focus on your healing journey while enjoying a sanctuary dedicated to offering meditative experiences and ceremonies.
We offer a peaceful yoga studio with stereo sound system and props. An outdoor forest deck perfect for nature classes or a boogie under the stars. Every corner of Amara holds a different medicine, depending on what your nervous system needs on any given day.

We are inviting experienced teachers and facilitators to join our community!
Yoga, movement modalities, sound journeys, breath journeys and plant ceremonies. For a regular slot in the studio, workshop or a private retreat with use of the whole property.
Come to practice, to teach, to dip in the salt pool, recover in the sauna or simply sit on the deck and watch the light move across the valley. Its an ideal place to host your own private group for the day, connect with the community or self retreat. Whatever it is, we are here to support you along your journey of self-discovery and nervous system reset, although the forest does most of that work.
It is within this extraordinary landscape that every experience is inspired by the wisdom of the towering trees that stretch skyward like yogis in a permanent upward salute. Your journey to peace, balance and rejuvenation begins at Amara Moon.
