Marnie Rays - Surf & Wellness Retreats

Locations: Portugal & Cornwall

Have a love for the ocean and want to start a new hobby this year? Join Lindsay Holland’s community of cool surfer chicks and take on the waves at one of her already immensely popular retreats.

You may already have given surfing a go and have the bug, if so, you’ll be able to hone your skills with experts brought in to help you get the best out of the surf. Lindsay has organised two trips for 2024 but be quick, these retreats are sure to sell out.

P.s. We didn’t think Marnie Rays could get any cooler, however they are also now offering a Bali skate & surf retreat.

Pana Retreats

Locations: The Gambia, Kenya, Ghana

For a refreshing take on typical retreat locations, Dr Rebekah Jade has founded Pana with retreats in Africa and the Carribean that offer a fusion of wellbeing, culture and nature.

Alongside daily yoga practice, the retreats centre around the exploration of local culture in a sustainable way. Pana supports eco-tourism, which allows discovery of culture whilst supporting local communities and the environment.

And if you’re curious, some of the Pana retreats offer a full digital detox for true nourishment and re-connection with the mind.

The Salt Sisterhood - Yoga and wild swimming retreats

Location: Cornwall

If you’re looking for a retreat that’s as wholesome as they come, you’ve found it here with The Salt Sisterhood's wild swimming retreat. You’ll stay in a gorgeous country house located on its own peninsula with access to a private beach.

Enjoy the locally sourced and nutritious chef prepared food around an easy going schedule of meditation classes and yoga sessions. The highlight of the retreat, though, is the guided walks through magical woodland to the hand picked secluded wild swimming spots.

Flavours and Foundations Retreat

Location: Corfu

This one’s for the foodies. Anastasia Miari has created a culinary retreat for those who want to nourish the soul through food, culture and conversation with other vibrant women.

Set on the beautiful island of Corfu, you’ll get a true taste of Greek culture by meeting locals, eating at their restaurants and learning about their traditions. This retreat is less about yoga (in fact, there isn’t any) and more about cooking and eating wonderful food along with hiking, swimming, wine tasting and weaving workshops.

Oh, and the accomodation can’t be overlooked - you’ll be staying in an 18th Century Venetian Manor home. Casual.

The Peligoni Club Pace - Wellness Weeks

This retreat allows guests to dip into a vast group of wellness and sports activities led by true experts (including Olympians and sports Pros), from cycling to tennis to breath-work to paddle boarding.

More than that, PACE is a place to learn a new creative skill with classes like life drawing and painting. All of this is set in luxury villas and farmhouses with a backdrop of the stunning Greek island of Zakynthos.

Rise Fierce - Deep Winter Retreat

Location: Cornwall

This retreat is focused all around cold water, a topic that’s gained a lot of traction in the past year for its powerful health benefits. Sophie Hellyer founded Rise Fierce to create a cold water community empowering women and wanted to take this further by offering a retreat where people can come together and embrace the outdoors with wild swimming, yoga and breathwork surrounded by Cornwall’s wild scenery. This one’s for those who want to come away feeling mentally stronger and refreshed.
