The Villa

Come by yourself, or with a friend

Our private villa is your home for the retreat — sun-soaked terraces, a pool to chill beside and a stunning indoor-outdoor gym. Sign up with a friend and share, or come solo and be paired with a holiday roomie (you'll always share with the same sex).

There's also the option to reserve a private room entirely to yourself.

The Food

Refuelling doesn't have to taste boring

Our private chefs, Guy and Owen, are in-house for the whole retreat, cooking up nourishing, protein-rich meals that taste as good as they look. Every meal is served buffet style, so you choose exactly what goes on your plate — each one full of colour, flavour and goodness to keep you fuelled.

Breakfast and lunch are vegetarian but still packed with protein to power your training, with meat and fish at dinner — and dessert too, because food is meant to be enjoyed. Whatever your dietary requirements or allergies, just let us know and we'll take care of it.

The Workouts

This is your retreat

All workouts are optional and every session can be adapted to you. There are two options each day — do both, just one, or skip them entirely. This is your retreat: if you'd rather explore the local area in your free time or simply chill by the pool while sessions are on, that's completely fine.

We'll offer full-body strength and sweat / conditioning workouts, plus more restorative yoga and recovery sessions — all in our incredible indoor-outdoor gym at the villa.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the price?

Breakfast, light lunch & dinner, all workouts, recovery sessions, welcome drinks & snacks, WiFi at the villa, bath & pool towels and toiletries. Laundry can be done by yourselves.

Where do I fly into?

You'll need to arrive into Faro for us to collect you, however you plan on travelling to Portugal. If you arrive elsewhere in Portugal, you'll need to make your own way to the villa.

Are flights included?

Flights aren't included and are your responsibility to organise. We're happy to advise on agents and booking platforms, but we can't book your flights for you.

How long is the transfer from the airport?

The car journey is around 25–30 minutes from Faro airport to the villa, and is included in your price.

I have dietary requirements, is that ok?

Of course. We'll be in touch after booking to discuss any dietary requirements or allergies and feed these back to Guy and the team so they're fully taken care of.

Can I come solo?

Absolutely — solo travel is amazing for the soul. You'll meet wonderful people and you won't regret it. You'll be paired with a holiday roomie of the same sex. Our final spaces are women-only — if you have any questions, just get in touch and we'll help.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Once you've paid your deposit we'll be in touch to organise your remaining payments. See the pricing section above for the schedule.

When will new dates be released?

Our May 2027 retreat is fully booked, with more dates coming soon. Add your name to the waitlist and you'll be the first to know as soon as new dates go live — plus you'll get a heads-up about any cancellations on the May trip.

What's your cancellation policy?

To secure your space it's a £250 deposit, which is non-refundable — this reserves your spot and lets us get everything booked. The remaining cost is then split to make it easier: 50% of the balance by December, and the final balance by 1st April.

If you need to cancel:

  • On or before 31st January 2027 — you'll get back anything you've paid, minus your deposit and any transaction fees.
  • 1st–28th February 2027 — you'll receive 50% of payments made beyond your deposit, minus any transaction fees.
  • From 1st March 2027 — payments become non-refundable, as by this point everything is confirmed with the villa, chef and suppliers.

If something unexpected happens, you're welcome to transfer your space to someone else (same sex for shared rooms) — just let us know and we'll always do our best to help.

Do you provide travel insurance?

We don't provide travel insurance, but you'll need it to join us. We'll ask you to confirm by email that you've organised your own cover.

What do I need to pack?

Active wear, comfortable clothes, trainers, swimwear and suncream are the essentials. Once you're booked we'll send over a full recommended packing list.
