But, what if you could enjoy an island paradise while also getting fitter, stronger and healthier with a Caribbean wellness retreat? Welcome to Wellness…

Omega Movement Yoga Retreat in Andalusia, Spain
“I’m an elephant” I announce to the group. Everyone nods sagely as if this is the most normal thing in the world. Thankfully, this isn’t the start of an interpretive dance class. I’ve simply picked out my “animal spirit card” for the week. An elephant feels appropriate. I’ve come to Omega Movement’s “Move with Alignment”…
Experience Seven Senses Retreat at Habitas Tulum
As I’m reflecting on the Seven Senses retreat experience I had at Habitas Tulum, Mexico, last month, I’m reminded of the Forrest Hayes quote, “We have two minds. One thinks, the other knows. The mind that knows goes back many lifetimes. This is the mind of the one heart, of all things: the trees, the…
Diary of a Phuket Detox at SALA Phuket Resort and Spa
“For those who have an intense urge for Spirit and wisdom, it sits near them, waiting.” Patañjali said. I had seen beautiful, slick and sexy, photographs of Phuket in travel magazines and all over Instagram before arriving, but it was my very first time there, and anywhere in Asia for that matter.

This beautiful, mystical destination has been much-loved by hippies and yogis for decades and Ibiza retreats are the perfect way to discover why,…
Les Passeroses Rural Yoga Retreat in the South of France
There’s a magical moment when you arrive at Les Passeroses in the middle of rural south-west France. Push open the anonymous blue door by the side of a dusty road, pass through the heady scent of honeysuckle and you unexpectedly find yourself next to an inviting swimming pool by an enchanting French farmhouse. This is…
No 1 Boot Camp, Norfolk, UK
No 1 Boot Camp had been on my radar for a while. Pictures of stars working out on the Norfolk coast frequented my social media and the magazines I used to leaf through on the way to work; the go-to weight loss and fitness boot camp for reality stars and glamorous celebrities alike wanting to shift…
Bliss Sanctuary Health Retreat for Women, Bali
When, after an air-conditioned pick up in Ubud, you’re greeted with open arms by a hostess the second you arrive in Canggu, before being offered a cold flannel and a freshly squeezed juice, you know you’re in for a good week. So began my time at Bali’s Bliss Sanctuary for Women in Bali. Lucy Pearson…
