Solo wellness holidays: Off the beaten track adventures

Travelling solo on a wellness retreat offers a balance many people are looking for: independence, with support.

Many guests say that travelling this way helps them feel more present and open, with space to settle into the experience at their own pace.

Many of our retreats take place in lesser-visited parts of the world. Travelling as part of a thoughtfully designed small group removes the logistical pressure, allowing you to relax into the experience, knowing the route, details, and local guidance are taken care of.

Our journeys are intentionally small and solo-friendly, designed to offer independence alongside shared experiences.

That said, some retreats suit different moods and moments a little better than others: For something deeply restorative:our West Norway retreats are really special — slow days, spacious landscapes, saunas by the water, and plenty of time to rest and reset.

For awe and warmth: Sumba Island, Indonesia offers sun-drenched days, open skies, and a strong sense of wonder — the kind of place that gently lifts your perspective.

For big, wild landscapes: Patagonia is all epic scale and raw beauty, ideal if wide horizons and feeling small (in the best possible way) call to you.

For a winter adventure: Finland delivers snowy forests, saunas, cold dips, and that unmistakable winter stillness. If you’re unsure which retreat fits where you’re at right now, our team is always happy to help you choose.

No, our retreats offer a choice between shared or private rooms. You’re welcome to book a private room if you’d like to pay more to have your own space, or you can choose to share with another guest if you’d prefer a more affordable option.

Not at all. Yoga’s for everybody — and every body. You don’t need to touch your toes, balance on your head, or even have a regular practice to join us.

Yes, there’s usually yoga every day, but we see it as so much more than asana (postures). It’s about how you connect — with yourself, with the world around you, and with each other. Definitely not about how your pose looks.

If you’re new to yoga, a couple of classes before you come might help you feel more at ease, but everything on retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you’re at.

And if you are a regular yogi, you’ll still be challenged and inspired. Our teachers are brilliant at reading the room — offering plenty of options and space to explore at your own pace.

You’ll usually practise twice a day: something strong and steady in the morning to wake you up, and something slower and grounding in the evening to let it all land.

We’re lucky to work with some of the most inspiring and respected teachers out there, from London to the US. Each brings their own flavour — vinyasa, restorative, meditation — but all share the same belief: yoga is for everyone. No ego. No competition. Just breath, movement, and space to be.

Our retreats attract a mix of ages, though many guests tend to be in their 40s through to their 60s. What people usually have in common is less about age and more about a shared interest in wellbeing, nature, and experiencing the world in a more meaningful way — usually with a sense of adventure too. Each retreat naturally draws its own mix of people depending on the destination and the style of journey.
