The ultimate sanctuary for fitness and self-care

Whether you're looking to deepen your Pilates practice, get fitter, stronger, leaner and more flexible, or simply de-stress from daily life, our retreats provide the perfect sanctuary for improving your fitness, self-care and renewal. Everyone is welcome, whether you are a novice or a seasoned Pilates pro as you will be offered modifications appropriate to your fitness level and Reformer experience. However, it is strongly advised that you have a regular Reformer practice before joining one of our retreats in order to maximise your enjoyment.

Who attends our retreats

Our retreats are open to adults of all ages, fitness levels, and stages of Reformer Pilates experience — from those newer to the reformer through to more experienced practitioners. If you are a complete beginner, we strongly recommend taking a few Reformer sessions before attending. Arriving with a basic familiarity with the equipment and the fundamental movements will help you feel more confident in class and allow you to fully maximise your enjoyment and results during the retreat.

Each class is carefully guided with clear instruction, progressions, and thoughtful modifications, ensuring you can move at a level that feels right for your body. You are always encouraged to do as much or as little as you wish — whether you choose to embrace every class and activity or take time to rest, restore, and simply enjoy the surroundings, the experience is entirely yours.

We warmly welcome all genders, and the minimum age for guests is 18 years. Our retreats are particularly well-suited to solo travellers, as they naturally attract friendly, like-minded guests who share a genuine interest in health, wellbeing, and Reformer Pilates. This creates a relaxed and supportive environment where it is easy to connect and feel part of the group from the moment you arrive. Solo guests may book a private room or, if preferred, we are happy to match you with a same-sex roommate.
