Active Holidays

An active holiday or fitness retreat is a travel experience that combines physical activity, wellness, and adventure. Instead of lying by the pool all day, you’ll be moving — whether it's through guided cycling tours, daily fitness classes, surfing, hiking, or Pilates sessions. These retreats are designed to boost your energy, improve your health, and help you explore new destinations in a more active and meaningful way.

Yes — our active retreats welcome all fitness levels, including beginners. Whether you’re new to surfing, trying Pilates for the first time, or just getting back into cycling or fitness, our professional local coaches will adapt the sessions to your pace and comfort. You don’t need to be super fit — just open to movement, learning, and enjoying the experience.

Pack light, breathable workout clothes, supportive shoes, a refillable water bottle, swimwear, sun protection, and your favorite fitness gear (like yoga mats or resistance bands if you use them). We’ll send a retreat-specific packing list before your trip, so you’ll know exactly what to bring depending on the activities (surf, cycling, Pilates, Trekking etc.).

Absolutely. Our active holidays are designed to balance movement with relaxation. You’ll have plenty of time to unwind at the beach, enjoy a massage, read, or explore the area at your own pace. These are not boot camps — they’re immersive experiences that help you stay active while still enjoying a restful, inspiring break.

Yes — most of our retreats include both movement and wellness. After an energizing morning of surfing, Pilates, or cycling, you might enjoy a spa session, guided meditation, or relaxing in nature. It’s a complete mind-body experience that leaves you feeling strong, rested, and rebalanced.

Yes, all our retreats are guided by local, experienced professionals. Whether it’s a certified surf coach, a cycling tour leader, or a Pilates instructor, you’ll be supported by experts who know the area and the practice inside out. This ensures you get a safe, authentic, and enriching experience every step of the way.

Some of the top places for active holidays include Spain for cycling, Bali for fitness and culture, Nepal for trekking and yoga, and Morocco for surf and sun. Each destination is chosen for its natural beauty, cultural richness, and opportunities for movement, making your retreat experience unforgettable.
