Urban Retreats

Urban wellness retreats are a unique way to prioritise your physical and mental wellbeing while enjoying the amenities of an urban setting. These may include sumptuous city spas, spacious warehouse studios or chic community centres with rooftop terraces and wholesome cafes!

Our urban retreats offer a variety of activities to help you feel nourished inside and out such as yoga, meditation, fitness classes, spa treatments, healthy cooking classes and more. You can expect to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your goals and interests, making it a great opportunity to connect and recharge.

Whether you want a few days to focus on a writing or craft project with fellow creatives or wish to reboot your health with a detox and fitness retreat, we have the perfect urban offering for you.

Do you love the idea of heading off on retreat but can never quite find the time? Perhaps you simply love spending time in your city but want to discover new wellness experiences that will fill you up mind, body and soul? Maybe you want all the benefits of a relaxing yoga retreat but would prefer the concrete jungle rather than the Costa Rican jungle?!

Whatever your reason, our urban retreats offer a wide range of benefits that go beyond just a relaxing vacation. You’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills, develop healthy habits, and gain a fresh perspective on life. The  expert team of wellness professionals will guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you leave feeling revitalised and inspired.

Urban Yoga and Meditation Retreats

Probably the most popular type of urban retreat, yoga and meditation breaks often focus on calming asana, breathwork and mindfulness practices to help you reduce stress and increase awareness. These retreats usually include classes, workshops and guided meditation sessions held in peaceful settings with additional space for community connection and nourishing mealtimes.

Urban Spa Retreats

Our next favourite urban offering is, of course, spa retreats.

Urban Fitness Retreats

Urban fitness retreats are ideal for those seeking dedicated time to spend on their health and wellbeing with a group of like-minded individuals each with their own unique fitness goals. They focus on fun physical activities such as boot camp workshops, fitness challenges, cycling trips and circuit training and may also provide additional nutrition and wellness coaching.
