St Tropez Fitness Retreat: Beach Circuits, Boxing & Rooftop Yoga

The retreat runs Saturday to Friday. You arrive Saturday afternoon from 15:00 onwards, settle into your en-suite room at Hotel Mandala, and the training starts the next morning. Most days begin with a dynamic warm-up followed by a morning workout — one day that's a boxing fitness session, another it's metabolic conditioning, another it's weights-focused body toning and sculpting. Sessions take place in the gym, on the beach, or on the rooftop terrace depending on the day and the weather. Coastal beach walks along the Mediterranean are part of the schedule too.

Afternoons leave room for the heated pool and sunbeds, or for walking into St Tropez. The town is a short distance from the hotel, so you can spend an afternoon browsing the harbour or the market and still be back for the evening. Evenings are either free time or spent with the group — sunset suppers on the rooftop terrace are a regular feature, and there's a TV room with local terrestrial television if you want to switch off.

What separates this from a standard fitness holiday is the combination of the location and the hotel. St Tropez is not a budget destination, and staying at a boutique property here means the week feels more like a high-end hotel stay with a serious training schedule attached than a bootcamp. The hotel is described as tranquil, with other non-retreat guests also staying on the complex, so it's not exclusive-use. Rooms are en-suite, with complimentary mini toiletries, safes, and Wi-Fi. Laundry service is available daily at extra cost, charged per item and returned in 24–36 hours.

The trainers run the programme so that beginners and more experienced gym-goers can work side by side. The weigh-in consultation on day one is where goals and any nutritional needs get discussed, and the team uses that to adjust what you do across the week. The departure measurements on Friday morning give you a concrete record of what changed. There is no airport transfer included — Toulon-Hyères airport is 27 miles away and Nice Côte d'Azur is 40 miles away, so you'll need to arrange your own transport to the hotel.

If you want a sense of the results people get, the operator publishes detailed client figures from its other locations: one guest lost 16.2kg in a single stay, another dropped 18kg while gaining 1.8kg of skeletal muscle mass. The format is the same across the brand's retreats, which is why the St Tropez week follows the same structure — InBody analysis on arrival and departure, daily training, chef-prepared food, and a group of people doing the same thing alongside you.
