A lovely day at the Raya Sunshine Retreat! Very relaxing in beautiful and quiet surroundings. We started with a chat about what we were looking for from the day, followed by fascial exercises, time in the sauna and hot tub, a lovely three-course lunch, and then each had the massage we required.
Highly recommended.

This is the place to go for some natural healing. I’ve just had a wonderfully deep massage and some fascia release work to help relieve my sciatica and severe back problems. Soraya gives consultations to new clients and discusses and explains her range of holistic treatments, crafted to each individual.
I can’t recommend Raya Sunshine Holistic Treatment Spa highly enough. Whether you need targeted treatments; a pampered retreat; a yoga day; an indulgent spa day or two away in the lovely cottage, you will leave feeling rejuvenated and reenergized. I will be back again very soon.

What an oasis in the middle of the Limousin -welcomed with open arms by Soraya and Steve into a beautiful setting of verdant gardens- full of nature’s abundance and relaxing birdsong - My bio resonance treatment opened my eyes to the power of inner energy and how self care and taking time out can instantly boost our core energy beyond all expectations - the salt pool - wood burning sauna - ice dip and wood fired hot tub all added to incredible ME TIME ! Finished to perfection will a mellow aromatherapy massage from Soraya - i will definitely be back !

Thank you so Much for cresting this haven of peace and tranquility

This experience was, without a doubt, the highest quality of care I’ve ever received. The day was filled with deeply relaxing treatments, including a meticulous massage, a therapeutic sauna session, and time in the hot tub, all expertly designed to soothe and restore.
The food served was exceptional, not only in taste but also in its thoughtful accommodation of my dietary restrictions (gluten and lactose intolerance), which I deeply appreciated.
What truly stood out, beyond the treatments themselves, was the genuine care and insightful guidance on how to take better care of my body. The advice I received has already helped alleviate discomfort in my wrists, which have been weak due to an old injury.

Overall, this was a much-needed self-care day that offered the perfect combination of relaxation, expert care, and empowering knowledge. I left feeling like the best version of myself, and I would absolutely return without hesitation.

Absolute joy of an afternoon, then a few weeks later went again with hubby. Very relaxing, loved all the details and thought put into our visit. We loved it."

I recently had the joy of staying at Raya Sunshine Retreat, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the experience. It was exactly what I needed—a peaceful haven where I could truly disconnect and recharge. Their warmth and hospitality struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving me the space to soak in the serenity of this beautiful retreat. The cozy cottage was thoughtfully prepared with everything I could possibly need, and the welcome hamper was such a delightful surprise. Each item was homemade using fresh produce they grew themselves or sourced locally. You can really sense Soraya’s deep passion for health and healing in every little detail—she’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to natural and holistic living.
My days at the retreat were pure bliss. I spent hours unwinding in the hammock beneath the trees, braved the invigorating ice bath, and then relished the warmth of the hot tub afterward. The pool was a treat, and I felt so fortunate to have personalized yoga sessions with Soraya who tailored each one to my abilities. One afternoon, Soraya generously took the time to teach me how to make kefir, walking me through the benefits of each ingredient. Evenings were spent sitting under the stars with a cup of cacao. I wholeheartedly recommend Raya Sunshine Retreat to anyone seeking a little sanctuary. I’m already counting down the days until I can return and explore all the other wonderful activities Soraya offers—there’s so much more I can’t wait to experience. Thank you, Soraya and Steve, for creating such a magical place.

Like most people my husband lee and I live very busy lives alternating 12 hr day, nights & weekend shifts , whilst trying to find time to spend with family friends our children and our grandchildren. we still find it hard to find time just for the two of us, that’s why our holidays together are so important.We usually book a forest retreat in England, staying in a woodland lodge with an outdoor hot tub,We heard about Raya Sunshine retreat in Luchapt France,

We booked a four night stay , hired a car from Limoges airport , although Soraya and Steve would be more than happy to pick us up.The sun was shining as we drove through the most beautiful French country side , while taking in all of the scenery.We arrived and warmly greeted by Soraya and Steve in this most idyllic location, with acres of land surrounded by trees. We had full use of the hot tub, swimming pool , ice pool & sauna, we were shown around what I can only describe as a Beautiful shabby chic cottage immaculate & beautifully furnished with a log fire , kitchen full of essentials, a hamper made up for us containing bread , jam, honey, tea, coffee, milk, and a bottle of Prosecco , the upstairs bedroom & en-suite were immaculate, Towels and dressing gowns neatly presented. We were treated like VIPs nothing was too much trouble for them.That night the stars lit up the sky I have never seen so many stars and too many shooting stars to count , we sang and danced under the night sky. The next day Soraya treated me to the most wonderful full body massage 3 days later I can still feel the amazingly relaxing effects.  I took part in yoga sessions which I intend to practice in my every day life, I even tried bio resonance frequency healing and I can’t believe how true it was for me, I also had mayo facial release after an injury over 10 yrs ago and broke my elbow I have been unable to fully straighten my arm and struggle to swim, this has improved my mobility in my elbow although not perfect there was a definite improvement.nMy husband Lee is quite a solitary person Steve and Soraya’s kind and warming welcome brought him out of his shell hearing him talking ,  laughing and joking with Steve he said it felt like being on holiday with his best friend he had known for years. We would highly recommend booking a holiday retreat here where it feels like home from home. Thank you for your warm welcome your kindness and hospitality , you have made our holiday one of the most magical experiences and one we will never forget and we will be returning again very soon

I've never experienced such high-quality service before. They were professional, efficient, and exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Superb service from a highly skilled and friendly professional. They made sure everything was perfect and were always available to answer any questions I had. Highly recommended!
