THE BIG LOVE AFRICA
Our Story
In a world yearning for love and regeneration, The Big Love has emerged as a radiant beacon of healing and transformation on the global wellness map, right here in Africa.
Driven by the profound understanding that traditional paths to holistic well-being are no longer enough, our Founder, Cody Edene, harnessed her passion for authentic African healing and regenerative practices and set out to create retreats that would captivate, heal and inspire guests with their fresh and unparalleled approach.
Founded in 2022, The Big Love Africa is evolving into one of the reference wellness sanctuaries in Africa attracting travellers from all over the world.

From sourcing sustainable, locally-produced ingredients for our menus to optimising energy consumption and waste management, our commitment to regenerative practices is evident in every operational detail.

Activities
We believe that by fostering a sense of belonging, respect, and compassion among our employees, guests and community, we can collectively contribute to the well-being of all.
People
Our practices, from reforestation efforts to banning single-use plastics, are driven by the belief that we must give back more than we take. By nurturing the land and ecosystems around us, we aim to create a haven where both nature and humanity can thrive together.
