wellness retreats

in:spa 7 night wellness retreats are available at three stylish, comfortable, peaceful and beautiful venues. Guests can choose from an exquisite luxury villa in Marrakech, a magical 16th century chateau in the South of France, or a boutique hotel in southern Spain - so you can be sure of enjoying some sunshine during your retreat too!

An in:spa wellness retreat combines three key ingredients: gourmet cleansing cuisine, exercise and relaxation. An in:spa retreat will inspire you, energise your body, invigorate your senses, detoxify your system, normalise your body weight and calm your mind - in essence, revive and restore a sense of total physical and mental wellness.

Diet: the highly experienced in:spa chefs and nutritionists create the wonderful meals. The food is plentiful and, when possible, home grown and organic. It's not about starvation - at all. In fact, you will be amazed at how delicious and plentiful the food is - all our guests say so. If you want to lose weight, our nutritionist will advise you on portion control. All meals are designed to cleanse your system whilst still being appropriately nutritious and are prepared without salt, sugar, dairy, wheat, and red meat. And, since this is a detox (or, as some people prefer to call it: notox) retreat, there is no caffeine or alcohol.

By the end of an in:spa retreat you are likely to feel a deep sense of renewal and increased energy, along with the awareness that you have regained some control over your wellbeing. You will also be well equipped to incorporate at least some of what you have learnt into your daily routine when you get home.

Exercise: An in:spa retreat involves its guests in daily outdoor activities, making full and interesting use of the diverse natural surroundings that each venue offers. Your programme will lead to heightened aerobic fitness, improved core stability and muscle tone, and accelerated fat burning. Complementing this is our expert yoga tuition focusing on postures, breathing and meditation. Our team of experts and teachers make sure that all guests - whatever their age, fitness level or yoga experience - enjoy maximum benefits during the week.

Relaxation: In addition to optimising your physical wellbeing, a further aim of the holiday is to allow time for personal reflection, relaxation and the opportunity to learn more about the positive effects that a more balanced lifestyle can have on your health. A regular massage by one of our experienced therapists is a delightful indulgence and will complete your tailored programme. There is also time to relax by the pool with a good book, and the evening yoga classes are restorative and deeply relaxing too.

Group size: Each retreat has up to 20 guests so everyone feels personally looked after. Generally, 30% to 40% of guests will have been on an in:spa retreat before, and approximately 70% of guests will be women choosing to travel alone. The in:spa team always includes an experienced host, personal trainers, chef, nutritionist, yoga teacher, hiking guides and massage therapists - so, there's always a high ratio of experts relative to the number of guests.

We hope you can join an in:spa retreat soon. We promise you'll return home looking and feeling amazing!
