10 Things You Should Know about Inner Oasis
- By women, for women
Inner Oasis is a women-only retreat. All our facilitators and coordinators that will lead and coordinate the sessions are females. We designed the retreats this way because we strongly believe that women-only retreats foster a unique and potent positive energy that is built on mutual understanding. This intentional space allows for deeper connections that foster a powerful sense of shared experience and mutual understanding.
Please note that male staff will be present in certain operational roles such as transportation and boat crews.

We take great pride in our meals and refreshments. We meticulously uphold the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene in every step of our food preparation. You’ll be served from a menu that is varied and suits all tastes. Our farm-to-table meal options incorporate locally sourced and carefully selected ingredients. We offer vegetarian options at every meal. Please let us know of any dietary requirements and we will be happy to accommodate them. Guaranteed: you’ll be well fed.
- Our staff are here to help
Chosen for their authentic kindness, strong work ethic, and willingness to go the extra mile, our staff at Inner Oasis are here to make your stay a memorable one. So whatever you need don’t hesitate to ask.
- We are located in Nabq
Nabq – A Nature Reserve and protected area located 35 Kilometres to the north of Sharm El Sheikh in South Sinai Governorate. The unspoiled natural beauty of this area is simply incredible. The Bedouins, a nomadic Arab Community, have inhabited the Sinai Peninsula for centuries, thus living in harmony with Nabq’s natural resources to survive.
Some of our retreats will be located in other areas of South Sinai, such as Dahab and Ras Mohammed, so just choose the program that attracts you the most.
- Your Five-Star Inner Oasis Villa (Nabq based retreats)
Imagine an elegantly designed private villa with uninterrupted sea views that can be enjoyed from the sun-drenched garden, pool and terrace.
This will be your abode for the duration of the retreat and your ultimate
escape to rediscover your inner oasis. A private pool/beach and sea views guaranteed.
For your comfort and convenience, we offer a choice of accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. Those seeking a quiet, personal retreat can opt for our private rooms (subject to availability), ensuring a peaceful space to unwind in complete privacy. For kindreds looking to maximize their budget and enjoy a more social experience, our shared rooms provide a fantastic, cost-effective alternative and a wonderful opportunity to connect and interact with fellow participants. Please specify your preference when booking.
- Small and intimate groups
Inner Oasis retreats are intimate, with a maximum number of six and a minimum number of four kindreds. Therefore all our retreats will feel bespoke. This will be particularly important during workshops and activities when our facilitators give you individualized attention and care.
Less people around you also means a distraction-free environment helping
you focus on your own healing, giving you space for reflection and deep relaxation.
- Daily plan & packing list
To ensure you gain the utmost from your retreat experience, we thoughtfully craft a daily plan for you. This schedule is designed to maximize your time while including dedicated free time for reflection, journaling and/or reading.
You’ll also have free time for sunbathing, a refreshing pool dip, connecting with fellow kindreds or even a private underwater photoshoot.
Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you a packing list of what to bring with you.
- Inner Oasis facilitators and coordinators
All our facilitators and coordinators are fully qualified and accredited in their area of expertise.
Our yoga and meditation instructors are the heart of Inner Oasis, bringing not only extensive qualifications and deep knowledge of many yoga traditions and meditation techniques, but also a wealth of real-world experience. Their expertise, cultivated through years of dedicated study and teaching, ensures you are guided with both safety and wisdom. Their genuine passion will truly transform each session, they are not merely teachers, but devoted guides who are eager to share their profound understanding and knowledge with you.
Our female diving instructors come with a wealth of experience in the Scuba diving industry in the Red Sea. With more than fifteen years of exploring the Red Sea’s vibrant reefs, thrilling wrecks and iconic dive sites, they cannot wait to take you on an immersive experience revealing the breathtaking beauty that lie beneath the surface.
- Safety, security & dress code
Security is paramount at the villa which is situated within a private, access-controlled gated community for your absolute peace of mind. Sharm El Sheikh is widely considered a very safe and secure tourist destination. The Egyptian government heavily prioritizes the safety of its’ visitors, as tourism is vital to the local economy. Security presence is quite visible throughout Sharm El Sheikh which is a standard and reassuring measure. Overall, Sharm El Sheikh has a very welcoming atmosphere and a very hospitable community that is accustomed to international guests. We generally ask our guests to stay with the main group and to apply the general caution you would in any travel destination such as safeguarding your personal belongings and being assertive with persistent vendors.
Dress code is very relaxed, so Western swimwear is absolutely fine during snorkeling sessions and boat trips. In town areas and local markets we recommend “Elegant & relaxed” clothing for a more immersive cultural experience and as a way of showing respect to the local community.
- Climate
Sharm El Sheikh is blessed with a profoundly sunny and arid climate, making it an ideal sanctuary for your wellness journey. The city enjoys consistently warm temperatures all year-round, ideal for outdoor meditation and yoga. The exceptional amount of sunshine is not only uplifting for the spirit but also a natural source of Vitamin D. The low humidity and minimal rainfall create a comfortable, clean environment that enhances relaxation, rejuvenation and a deep connection to the serene desert and sea landscape.
