A wellness retreat is a stay of a few days to a few weeks built around rest and a healthier routine: daily yoga or other gentle movement, meditation, good food, time outdoors and, at many retreats, massage, spa or Ayurvedic treatments. Each listing shows what is in the price: the room, meals, classes and treatments.
They suit anyone who wants a proper break without planning every day: people coming out of a busy or stressful stretch, beginners who want daily guidance to start yoga or meditation, and regular practitioners after a longer, deeper programme. You don't need a partner or a group to go: you book a place for yourself, and 562 of these retreats list a single or private room.
We list 1195 wellness retreats in 72 countries. We have the most choice in India, Indonesia, Thailand, Spain and Italy. By type: 585 wellness holidays, 388 yoga and Pilates retreats, 276 detox and wellness retreats and 8 breathwork retreats (some retreats are listed under more than one).
Most last between 4 and 8 days; the shortest is 1 day and the longest 58. Of the 1071 with a published price, the cheapest starts from €129 per person and half cost €1,038 or less; the price depends mostly on the length of stay and the room you choose.
How booking works: choose a retreat and send a request with your dates and the number of guests. The host confirms there is space for you, and only then do you pay a 15% deposit online to hold your place (a few retreats can be booked instantly). The remaining 85% is paid on the host's own terms, which are shown on the listing before you book.
