Helios Retreats Anmeldelser 

I recently had the pleasure of attending a rejuvenating weekend retreat with Helios, expertly hosted by Hugo, Dan, and Eve in the stunning setting of Mykonos.

Villa Joy provided the perfect backdrop for a health and wellness experience, seamlessly blending relaxation and enjoyment. The weekend was thoughtfully curated, allowing us to engage in enriching activities while also exploring some of the island's most captivating spots.

Hugo truly excelled as a host, ensuring that every detail was attended to with care. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience—I can’t wait to see what Brazil has in store for us next year!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a health retreat that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was infused with positivity and tranquility, setting the perfect stage for a rejuvenating getaway.

One of the highlights of my retreat was the excellent hyrox classes led by Dan. His energy and expertise were evident in every session, making each workout not only challenging but also incredibly enjoyable. Dan's ability to motivate and inspire participants was unparalleled, and he tailored the classes to suit all fitness levels, ensuring that everyone felt included and empowered.

Equally uplifting were the yoga classes delivered by Eve. Her calming presence and expert guidance transformed each session into a deeply spiritual experience. Eve's classes focused on mindfulness and connecting with our breath, allowing us to let go of stress and embrace a sense of inner peace. The combination of Dan's dynamic workouts and Eve's serene yoga sessions created a perfect balance that left me feeling revitalized and centered.

The venue itself, the beautiful Villa Joy, was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in a serene landscape, the villa provided a peaceful sanctuary for relaxation and reflection. The stunning architecture and thoughtfully designed spaces were complemented by breathtaking views, making it a truly idyllic setting for a health retreat.

Dining was another highlight of the experience. The private dining experience offered was exceptional, with each meal prepared with care and creativity. The focus on healthy, seasonal ingredients meant that every dish was not only delicious but also nourishing. Sharing these meals with fellow retreat participants fostered a sense of community and connection that enhanced the overall experience.

A special mention must go to Hugo, who organized the trip. He truly was a superstar, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and executed. His passion for wellness and commitment to creating a supportive environment shone through in every aspect of the retreat. From logistics to personal touches, Hugo's efforts made this retreat not just a getaway, but a memorable journey towards health and well-being.

In conclusion, this health retreat was a transformative experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking rejuvenation and connection. With excellent classes from Dan and Eve, a stunning venue in Villa Joy, and a delightful dining experience, it was a perfect escape. Thanks to Hugo's exceptional organization, I left feeling inspired, refreshed, and eager to incorporate the lessons learned into my daily life.

Transformative Escape with Helios Retreats in Mykonos

I recently had the pleasure of joining a fitness and yoga retreat in Mykonos with Helios Retreats, and it was truly one of the most revitalizing experiences I’ve ever had.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Aegean Sea, the retreat struck the perfect balance between wellness, movement, and relaxation. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by both the Helios team and the incredible group of like-minded people. The energy was positive, inclusive, and inspiring—exactly what you hope for in a retreat environment.

The daily workouts and yoga sessions were a standout. Every morning began with a dynamic fitness session that got our bodies moving and minds energized, followed by beautifully led yoga flows that grounded us and opened up space to reconnect with ourselves. The instructors were knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly passionate about what they do. Whether you were a seasoned athlete or just starting out, everything was scalable and inclusive.

But perhaps the most unexpected gift was the sense of community. The Helios team fostered such a warm, uplifting environment that made it easy to connect deeply with others. We laughed, shared stories, supported each other through tough workouts, and relaxed together under the Mykonian sun. It felt like a blend of holiday and healing—soulful, joyful, and unforgettable.

I left the retreat feeling stronger, more centered, and incredibly grateful—for my body, my mind, and the experience. Helios Retreats delivered far more than just fitness and yoga—it offered real transformation in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

I’m already counting down the days until the next one.

Helios Maldives was an absolute dream. Book it without hesitation! I have done a few Helios Retreats; each has been amazing and every time beyond expectations. The format of 8am workout (motivating and great fun, this time with Kofi from Barrys London), 9am yoga (with sunrise yoga on request) with the amazing Katy Ingulli who is so clear to follow and has such a peaceful presence, and 10am brunch (incredible food) is a great format that starts every day. The island itself could have had 6 stars; the white sand and colour of the sea has to be seen to be believed, and the water bungalows were exquisite (loved the urns of water at each door to ladle off sandy feet) and the overwater spa was utter bliss (exceptional treatments at both spas). As always with the trips, an incredible, easy group that instantly makes you feel at ease, and the friendships return home with you. I celebrated my birthday on this trip, and it was very special, thanks to Hugo and the friends I have made with Helios Retreats.

Absolutely fantastic trip, cannot recommend Helios enough. Such great people, vibes and location. I will be back for another retreat next year for sure.

The most perfect wellness and fitness retreat! Everything was perfect and I cannot recommend Helios Retreats enough! I will be booking again!

Amazing experience with Helios! The whole retreat is extremely well planned and organised! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and active holiday!

Had an absolutely epic time in Maldives this March with Helios retreats. A combination of fitness, yoga, relaxing on the beach and meeting so many wonderful people was a reset I needed. I can say without a doubt that this was the best holiday I’ve ever had! Thanks to Hugo, Matt, Katy and Kofi for all their efforts and I’ll definitely be booking another one in the future!

My time with Helios Retreats in the Maldives was absolutely unforgettable! The setting at Anantara Veli was pure magic—stunning views, crystal-clear waters, and the perfect backdrop for a week of fitness, relaxation, and connection.

What truly made this retreat special were the incredible people I met. Sharing this experience with such an inspiring group made every moment even more meaningful.

The fitness classes with Kofi were spot on—challenging, energizing, and exactly what I needed to push myself. And after all the hard work, yoga with Katy was the perfect way to stretch, unwind, and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

A retreat that left me feeling stronger, refreshed, and so grateful—I can’t wait for the next one! 💙✨

This is my second Helios retreat and I say with all confidence and happiness that I am officially an Helios retreat junkie! 😎🤩
Hugo is an excellent co- ordinator, host and now a friend .
The trainers are amazing and although gruelling worth every exercise.
The combination of meeting people from everywhere , experiencing new places and doing so much good for both body and mind is for an absolute winner !
Well done Helios team !!!
Looking forward to the next one ❤️

I have just finished my first Helios retreat in Morocco and can safely say it was an amazing experience. There was a great mix of workouts and fitness elements as well as adventure and fun activities. The hotels were beautiful and the food was delicious. Not to mention the incredible, kind and knowledgeable trainers and the fantastic group of people I got to share the experience with. Morocco was a stunning destination and was captured beautifully by our photographer, there is truly something for everyone. The Helios community attracts like-minded amazing people from around the world.

My only notes were there were some minor communication and organisational hiccups however these were easily resolved. This particular trip has quite a lot of travel time which needs to be taken into consideration but the experiences are well worth it! I highly recommend this retreat.

I recently had an incredible experience at one of Helios Retreats in Morocco. It was my first solo fitness retreat and it exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, the retreat was beautifully organised, offering the perfect balance of energising workouts, motivation and relaxation.

The location was absolutely stunning, nestled in nature, which provided a tranquil environment ideal for outdoor workouts and yoga sessions. Each day was thoughtfully curated, with a mix of workouts, yoga, activities and day trips.
The instructors were exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging every step of the way, regardless of fitness level.

The accommodations and meals were also top-notch.
The real highlight of the trip was the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and make new friends.

This retreat gave me exactly what I needed: a reset for body and mind, memories I’ll cherish and connections made.
If you’re looking for a transformative experience that blends fitness, relaxation and a sense of community, I can’t recommend Helios highly enough!
I am about to book my next one :-)

I am so grateful to Hugo for bringing us all together on such an amazing and life changing trip!
A huge thank you to Katy, Ahmad, and to Matt for capturing such unbelievable experiences!! I’ve made such great friends and beautiful memories with all of you and can’t wait to do it again. 🇲🇦🙌🥰

My 1st ever solo retreat and what an experience it was. No need to be worried about fitting in, I was so lucky to have met the most beautiful people, inside and out. The trainers were wonderful and Matt has captured some amazing footage for us. The location was just the most beautiful area of the Algarve and the sunsets were magnificent.
I would definitely recommend and will be doing more in the future. Everyone should try it out at least once.
Making friends from around the world and making memories,, you can’t beat it.
Thank you Hugo for the experience 🙌🏼

Morocco with Helios Retreats is my fourth… this is the adventure retreat! I highly recommend doing the Sahara part - the journey there is absolutely worth it - camel riding at dawn is something I will never forget, and even more special for me, I was able to take a horse ride and galloped a black stallion across the desert, something I have wanted to do since being a child. Even more special, the trip photographer Matt Micallef came to capture it all. The daily format of 8am PT, 9am yoga then brunch is such a good way to start every day. Ahmed Mickens was our PT, brilliant and a boxer. I loved the boxing part of the sessions, something I had never done before, it’s great fun! Katy Ingulli led our yoga and was really instructive which was great to help beginners like me keep up with the flow!
All hosted by the wonderful Hugo, and this trip being a little longer than others meant more time with new friends. This retreat is like two holidays in one, and I would love to do it all again!

I just returned from an epic journey with Helios Retreats in North Africa! There’s nothing better than combining three of my favorite things in life; exploration, wellness and connecting with people from other parts of the world. If you are looking for some adventure, check out one of these upcoming trips!! Cheers to Hugo for pulling it all together and leaving no stone unturned. 💪💪

This was my sixth retreat with Helios, and it was just as amazing as the first one back in 2018, which marked the beginning of my fitness journey. Returning to Mykonos just before the season's end, staying at this incredible villa, and connecting with like-minded people filled me with the same excitement as that very first retreat.

The energy at this villa was completely different from the previous one I'd stayed in. The location, overlooking the breathtaking Aegean Sea, was truly special. The expansive infinity pool was a dream, and the incredible views from every corner of the villa were simply mesmerizing. Plus, having reliable internet access was a huge bonus. I could catch up on work email.

The training sessions were intense and varied, a perfect blend of strength training, yoga, and outdoor activities. I especially loved yoga sessions and the group sessions. The food was absolutely incredible, healthy, delicious, and perfectly balanced. We had private chefs at the villa who didn’t disappoint from the morning breakfasts to the retreat end party.

This retreat was exactly what I needed to get back into fitness after a two-year break. It re-ignited my passion and motivation, and I'm now back in Bali, training six times a week and enjoying regular beach walks. I can't wait to join another Helios retreat, explore a new part of the world, and make new friends.

I booked the retreat last minute as a birthday treat and it was the best thing I’ve ever done! Hugo organised workouts for everyone we did yoga, hiit workouts & optional running. There was also fun activities and dinners with the entire group would highly recommend for solo travellers you get to make new memories, friends or pick up a new form of workout.
I’ll be booking again for the Crete retreat.

My experience at Helios Retreats was nothing short of incredible! Hugo and his amazing team went above and beyond to create an unforgettable trip. If you’re on the fence about going, do it—you won’t regret it. The villa and breathtaking views were straight out of a dream. The schedule of early morning workouts, followed by yoga, and insane meals prepared by a private chef, made every day a perfect balance of fitness, relaxation, and indulgence. Plus, the activities like boating, group dinners, and beach club visits added so much fun.

The best part? The random group of strangers I met who quickly became close friends. Exploring the island together and making lifelong memories made the trip even more special.

Helios Retreats gets a 10/10 from me I highly recommend it!

Helios Retreats are more than a holiday they are a life reset and bring people together in a very special way. You really feel like part of the family rather than just a holiday maker and you just want to return as soon as you get home!
