Luxury Yoga, Pilates & Wellness Retreats Across the UK and Europe

The retreats run across seven destinations: Chamonix in the French Alps, Ibiza, Italy, Dorset, Somerset, Olhão in Portugal, and Menorca. Each has its own character depending on the setting — mountain hikes in Chamonix, coastal walks in Dorset, or countryside rambles in Somerset. The daily rhythm includes yoga and Pilates classes led by qualified instructors, with meditation and breathwork also on the schedule. Classes are tailored to different levels, so beginners and more experienced practitioners can both get something from them. Afternoon activities vary by location and may include hiking, surfing or skiing.

Accommodation is in private villas, chalets or farmhouses, chosen for their comfort and setting. A private chef prepares all meals, focusing on balanced, flavourful dishes made with local ingredients. There is no calorie counting or restrictive dieting — the emphasis is on food that tastes good and supports energy levels. Dietary requirements can usually be accommodated with advance notice.

What sets these retreats apart from a standard yoga holiday is the combination of high-end accommodation, a private chef, and instructors with strong reputations in the yoga and Pilates world. The company has been featured in the press and has a solid set of guest reviews. Many guests return, which suggests the formula works. The instructors bring their own style and expertise, and some retreats are led by well-known teachers such as Cat Meffan.

A typical day starts with an early yoga or Pilates class before breakfast. After breakfast, there might be a workshop or a second class, then lunch. Afternoons are left open for hikes, trips to local towns, or downtime by the pool or in the garden. Evening sessions could include restorative yoga, meditation or breathwork, followed by dinner. The exact schedule shifts depending on the destination and the instructor leading that week.

The company also runs weekend retreats in the UK, which are shorter and more accessible for those who can't take a full week off. These follow a similar format but condensed into two or three days. Whether it's a week in Ibiza or a weekend in Somerset, the aim is the same: to give guests space to practise, eat well, and come away feeling better than when they arrived.
