Wellness travel has become one of the fastest-growing areas of the travel industry, as more people seek to invest not just in a holiday, but in their long-term health, energy and sense of self. We recognised this shift early - back in 2021, we identified a gap for quality, design-led retreats and launched our first equipment retreat with a focus on menopause and the major transitions of life. Five years on, we've built a far deeper understanding of what our guests from around the world truly expect and need from this deeply personal investment in their own wellbeing. Our approach remains discreet and attentive to each individual - working in semi-private duets, so our teachers can give every guest the focus and care they deserve.

Reformer Retreats is rooted in the belief that thoughtful architecture and considered interiors are central to creating truly restorative wellness experiences. We select retreat venues where indoor and outdoor living flow effortlessly, creating calm, design-led spaces that invite you to step away from digital life and return to a more considered pace.

Our retreats are designed to challenge, inspire and deepen your understanding of Classical Pilates, while offering the space to unwind and restore. Each retreat centres around carefully programmed Pilates sessions - on the Reformer, Wunda Chair, Barrels, Towers and mat - delivered with precision and intention.

Every venue is hand-selected for its design, setting and atmosphere, and each weekend is thoughtfully structured to balance movement, rest and renewal. Time is given not only to work out, but to relax, reflect and recharge.

Food and nutrition are integral to the retreat experience. We collaborate with local chefs to create beautifully considered plant-based and pescatarian menus, inspired by the season and tailored to support the energy and rhythm of the weekend. Every dish is designed to restore balance, nourish the body and promote a healthy gut, complementing the wellness focus of the retreat.

Reformer Retreats was founded by Sophie Hatton, whose passion for Classical Pilates and vision for truly considered wellness travel shape every retreat we run. Sophie is joined by either Louise Franks or Rikke Larsen, our highly trained Classical Pilates teachers, whose expertise and care ensure a refined, supportive and expertly guided experience from start to finish. 

We take care of every detail — all you need to do is arrive, switch off, disconnect from the digital noise, and move with us.
