About Soulcare Retreats
Retreat, Recharge and Reconnect with the Soul
Soulcare Retreats was created to help people step away from pressure, restore their energy and experience travel that nourishes the mind, body and soul.
Who We Are
Soulcare Retreats is part of the wider Soulcare vision founded by Omar Botha. The purpose is to help people take meaningful breaks from the demands of daily life and reconnect with what truly matters: health, rest, nature, wellness, food, travel, culture and the soul.
The name Soulcare means exactly what it says — caring for the soul. We believe travel should not only be about accommodation and destinations, but about restoration, balance, beauty, nourishment and renewed energy.
The Meaning of Retreat
To retreat is not to give up. It is to pause, breathe, recover and return stronger. Omar Botha believes it is healthier for a person to take regular short breaks to relax and recharge the mind, body and soul than to work endlessly until emotional, physical and mental fatigue begin to take over.
When a person works non-stop for too long, the body and mind can become depleted. Soulcare Retreats encourages people to step away from their normal routine, even for a few days, and choose experiences that bring balance back into life.
Our Story
The roots of Soulcare Retreats go back to 1998, when Omar Botha started EGP, Executive Golf Promotions. The original focus was corporate golf days, golf tours and getaway experiences where business people, golfers and sports personalities could connect in a relaxed environment.
Over time, the travel concept grew beyond golf. Omar recognised that people needed more than holidays. They needed places to recharge, restore and reconnect. In 2005, after beginning his work as a healer, Omar rebranded the vision into Soulcare — a brand built around caring for the soul.
From there, Soulcare Retreats developed into a travel and retreat platform focused on wellness, sustainable stays, organic food, nature-based travel, golf getaways, cultural journeys, accommodation, flights, car rental, cruises and corporate retreat planning.
Wellness
We look for travel experiences that support rest, healing, spa, movement, nature, water, silence and personal renewal.
Organic Food
We value fresh, seasonal, organic-focused, local and farm-to-table food experiences where they are properly supported by the property.
Sustainable Travel
We support eco-conscious, sustainability-minded and responsible travel without exaggerating claims or promoting greenwashing.
Our Travel Philosophy
Soulcare Retreats believes that travel should leave a person lighter, clearer and more connected than before. A retreat can be a luxury wellness resort, an eco lodge, a beach escape, a safari, a golf getaway, a cultural journey, a spa weekend, a food and wine route or a quiet stay in nature.
The important question is not only where you go, but how the experience affects your soul. Does it restore you? Does it help you breathe again? Does it reconnect you with beauty, balance and meaning?

Our Sustainability Approach
Soulcare supports sustainable and responsible travel, but we believe in honest wording. When a hotel, lodge or retreat has a recognised certification, we can say so. When certification is not confirmed, we use careful language such as eco-conscious, sustainability-minded, nature-based, local produce, organic-focused, responsible travel or wellness-focused.
This helps protect the Soulcare brand and gives travellers a more trustworthy way to choose where they stay.
