HARTA retreat is an idyllic wedding venue nestled in the heart of North Devon, offering couples and their guests a taste of exotic destination wedding vibes right in the UK. Described as “a little Shangri-La,” this unique spot seamlessly blends the tranquility of the English countryside with a touch of tropical allure.
The estate spans 46 acres of picturesque landscapes, featuring luxury glamping tipis and a converted barn set amidst the natural beauty of wildflowers and meadows. It caters to both grand weddings of up to 150 guests as well as more intimate gatherings such as micro weddings, elopements, and vow renewals.
Owner Miranda Blaas-Cousins expressed pride in the retreat, stating, “We’ve created what someone has aptly described as ‘a little Shangri-La in the heart of North Devon.’ You literally feel like you’re transported to an exotic oasis somewhere in Thailand.” With an emphasis on seclusion and natural beauty, HARTA retreat offers a truly exceptional setting for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.
