in:spa Luxury Wellness Retreat – Health & Fitness Weeks in Tuscany, France & Marrakech

A week at in:spa is not a lie-by-the-pool retreat with a yoga class bolted on. Mornings start early with either a personal training session, a group fitness class or a hike, depending on your programme and your schedule for that day. In Marrakech the hiking terrain is the Atlas Mountains; in Tuscany you walk out through vineyards and olive groves; in Southern France the surrounding countryside is the setting for the walks and runs. After the morning session there's breakfast, then yoga for those on the Yoga & Massage programme, and the afternoons hold more training, massage appointments, nutritionist consultations or time by the pool.

What separates these weeks from most fitness retreats is the ratio of experts to guests and the fact that you get a personal schedule. The team of fitness professionals, yoga teachers, nutritionists, chefs and massage therapists is flown out for each retreat and, according to the company, chosen both for expertise and for being warm and easy to be around. You get significant one-on-one time with them rather than only group sessions. Your nutritionist builds a personal eating plan during the week that you take home, which is the part most past guests mention when they say the results lasted.

Food is a bigger part of the week than most people expect. The chefs and nutritionists work together on menus that are built around colour and flavour rather than restriction, and the reviews are full of people saying they had no idea healthy food could taste like this. Meals are included across the week, and the nutritionist's advice is tied to what's actually being served so you can see how it works.

The three locations are genuinely different holidays. The Tuscan estate is quiet and rural, sitting among vineyards and olive groves with its own lavender field. Puyssentut in Southern France has lush gardens and a large indoor yoga hall, which matters if the weather turns. The Marrakech property is a boutique hotel a short drive from the Atlas Mountains and close enough to town that guests walk into Santanyi-style local villages and markets — one reviewer specifically liked being able to walk out and see a bit of where they were. Whichever you pick, the structure of the week is the same: work hard in the mornings, recover properly in the afternoons, eat well, sleep well.

in:spa is owned and operated by The Healthy Holiday Company Ltd. Flight-inclusive bookings are financially protected under the ATOL scheme, and all bookings are covered by PTS Protected Trust Service, meaning customer funds are held in a trust account until travel. That matters on a week at this price point.
