Helios Retreats Anmeldelser 

I recently went on my second Helios trip and was blown away…again! I had a great experience last year, going on the Morocco trip and was keen to sample the ‘original’ Mykonos trip.
The pre-departure chats were great with the opportunity to speak to the trainers proving to very helpful. On the trip itself we trained hard under the brilliant instruction of Josh and Tamara as our yoga instructor. The phenomenal chill time saw us take in some of the most beautiful and exclusive locations with Matt, videographer extraordinaire, on hand to capture these special moments. Accommodation and food was excellent (veggie and vegan options were👍🏾).
Finally the sense of inclusion that Helios provided on this trip really stood out. Yes there are different fitness levels, ages and outlooks but, the team really brought people together. Looking forward to the next one!

I recently returned from the Mykonos retreat in May and I want to go back right now. I was super impressed with the apartment, the food was out of this world and the fact they took everyone's dietary needs onboard was impressive. Helios got the balance of exercise, yoga and exploring on point. The best part was the day on the boat. I would 100 per cent say book now don't question yourself you will come back a new person.

After contemplating this retreat for a long time, I finally decided to go ahead and book this.
The whole experience was carefully curated for the perfect balance of fitness, well being and extra fun bonding activities.
The retreat was set in a luxury villa accommodation with picturesque views, chef prepared meals as well as options to opt in on luxury meals / boat trips.
The team was friendly and motivating and for added bonus we had a professional photographer present At all times who carried himself professionally and captured all our group / individual moments.
This is a perfect trip to refresh / motivate yourself and to set your self new targets in life.
I personally met some incredibly beautiful and intelligent people on this trip and looking forward to our booked get togethers soon 💕

Well what can I say , the most breath taking views, amazing workout sessions with Joshua, from boxing (my personal fav) to HIIT and then wind down time with the lovely Tamara finding your inner peace and tranquility . Then on to the amazing Host Hugo , hands up to home for the best places to go and amazing days out. But most of all meeting a wide range of people from many different work backgrounds and areas, making great friends , learning so much from each and everyone. I would highly recommend you do this as you will never regret it you will think back to what an amazing experience.

I've just recently been on the Mykonos retreat !!!!!

It was an unbelievable experience. The food was amazing from meals at the villa to eating out at some of the best places. With are group having a few people with dietary requirements was no problem Hugo and the team made sure everyone was happy and catered for.
The villa was beautiful with great views and everything you need.
Josh and Tamara were first class. Great teachers and coaches. From beginners to intimidate they had no problem getting to know everyone's levels individually. Never made the sessions intimidating and always made sure you had a smile on your face.
Activates were amazing from quad biking to spending the day on a boat and eating out. Experiences that I will always remember.
As a first time solo traveller this retreat was perfect would recommend this to anyone who was thinking of solo travel.

Hugo and the team thank you so much!!!!

If you are a fitness/yoga lover looking for a break to a beautiful location where everything is taken care of, look no further. Having recently suffered from burnout, I was really looking forward to my retreat in Mykonos, and it did not disappoint.

Waking up every day to views of the Aegean Sea and having that as the backdrop to our yoga and workout sessions was a dream. Trainer Josh Kempton and yogi Tamara Yasin are great instructors and just really lovely people. They were inspiring and challenging in their sessions. I was a bit worried that I might not be fit enough for all the workouts planned, but both were kind and always gave alternative options to ensure the sessions worked for everyone. It is not a bootcamp type of retreat, so no shouting or anything horrible like that.

The food provided by BOWL was delicious and healthy, and I never felt like I lacked anything despite having tricky dietary requirements. This also counts for the dinners which varied from a private chef at the villa to dinners out at a local taverna, and famous Scorpios and Cava Tagoo (some real highlights of the trip there). We tasted authentic Greek food and enjoyed some drinks here and there - its all about balance which is a big plus point for me. Not a juice cleanse type of retreat!

As for the extra activities, the boat trip was one of the best experiences ever - really not one to be missed. I decided not to go on the quad biking trip but still joined the group later on, so I did not feel like I missed out. On both of those days I swam in the sea and relaxed, which created the perfect balance for the week in terms of activity level.

Hugo was a great host who ensured that everyone felt included and comfortable within their own boundaries. I really appreciated the opportunity to chat before the retreat with both Hugo and Josh, so I was able to talk through any worries and ask all my questions. Hugo also set up a Whatsapp group before the trip which was a great way to start connecting with the group. I had never been on a solo trip before, but even before getting off the plane members of the group started bumping into each other and I felt totally at ease. The group were such lovely bunch of people from different walks of life. A specific worry I had before going on the trip was that I would look out of place in a group of beautiful influencers, but the reality wasn't like that. We had a stunningly diverse group (in terms of bodies, age, fitness ability etc) and we all fiercely supported each other throughout the week. It was a really positive vibe, and I felt uplifted coming away from the retreat.

Thank you Helios for an amazing week!

I had an amazing time with Helios in Mykonos
This retreat was my first experience of lone travelling so I was a little anxious about what to expect
Hugo was the most supportive and attentive host
The resort and views were spectacular, the plant base food in and out was delicious and plentiful and the acclamation was first class
We went on some fantastic days out, the best one being the all day catamaran trip
It was great to start everyday with fitness followed by yoga which has continued to set me up with the kick and motivation again now I’m back home
Josh and Tamara were both very professional and experienced fitness/yoga teachers keeping us positively motivated throughout the sessions

I would highly recommend Helios retreats

Just what the doctor ordered... Hugo and the Helios team were super friendly and welcoming. The workouts were excellent and it was a v well planned trip to totally switch off from the busy-ness of every day life and have any/ all decisions taken care of for you. Couldn't recommend enough!

I’ve just got back from the most amazing week with Helios in Mykonos!
As a vegetarian food can be tricky when travelling however every meal was delicious! The accommodation was stunning, what an incredible property with insane views!
I’ve been looking for a reset and to get back into a good routine and that’s exactly what this did. I throughly enjoyed the yoga and fitness training and after a week in the sunshine with the team can say with confidence I feel amazing. Fitter, stronger, healthier and ready to stick at it. The trainers adapt each routine and exercise for all so that every level of experience and fitness is catered for.
We had an amazing time on the quad bikes and a fab boat trip!
It’s safe to say that outside of our yoga, training and fab meals at the villa we tucked every Mykonos box!
Thanks so much for the best time and I’d fully recommend this kind of trip to solo traveler's, friends and couples!
Until the next time Helios, thank you!!!

I had been following Helios on Instagram for a while before taking the plunge. After Covid, I decided I was tired of waiting for the "right" time/person to see the world and do things I had always wanted to so I booked it and honestly it was the best decision I've made. Obviously there can be nerves (even after 30...) doing a trip where you don't know anyone but I cannot explain to you how quickly that changed. Before the trip there were calls/emails with Hugo and trainers to outline reasons for booking, fitness levels and what you wanted to get out of things as well as a day by day itinerary before we left for the trip. The trainers, Josh and Tamara were brilliant- they had great chemistry with the group and were able to cater to a variety of abilities in both high intensity/weights and yoga sessions. Both were attentive and focussed on helping everyone get the most out of their session- helping with technique, tips and tricks as well as pushing you to your limits (even if you didn't know you could!) I will definitely be keeping up with the training and yoga on my return to normal life!
There was a great balance of workout days and then more chilled days with activities around Mykonos- the quad biking, beach clubs and general down time around the pool were filled with laughter, chat and relaxation but the day on the boat was the icing on the cake. You just don't have experiences like this on other holidays. The food for the whole trip was epic- fresh, varied, delicious- I think often people think on a retreat you would get a lettuce leaf but the food was beyond expectations.
This experience has been a game changer with new friends, new experiences, stronger, healthier, rested and a bit of a tan too! Get it booked- you won't regret it

I cannot recommend Helios enough. The Mykonos retreat was one of the best experiences of my life. I was recommended Helios by a friend who said I just must go. She was not mistaken. From start to finish every aspect of the trip was incredible and the team really went the extra mile to make sure everybody had an amazing time. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for the perfect balance of fun, fitness, activities, exploration, and time out to clear the mind and get to know some amazing people.
The trainer Joshua Kempton was amazing. He made everyone in the group feel entirely comfortable. He catered the workout to fit everyone’s level of fitness whilst ensuring that everyone was challenged and pushed to their limits. Every single one of his workouts was fun, explosive, energising and everyone left his classes with huge smiles on their faces. It’s surprising what you can achieve with the right support and encouragement. His attentiveness to each of us was lovely to see. He really cared that everyone was getting what they wanted out of the retreat and that they were achieving their individual fitness goals. He worked with each of us to improve our form so that we could be sure we were getting the most out of our workouts not only during the retreat but also in our workouts going forward.
The retreat combined the high intensity workouts with yoga taught by the lovely Tamara Yasin. Tamara was an amazing teacher and she encouraged us all to push ourselves in our yoga practice and connect with our bodies and minds on a deeper level. Her classes were a really great way to switch off the minds and be truly present in the moment. I will most definitely be continuing my yoga journey and attending some of her classes in London now that the retreat is over.
As well as the exercise classes we had a lot of downtime to take part in the optional activities organised by Hugo or to explore the island if we wished. I opted for the activities, exploring the island on quad bikes was something I just couldn’t miss out on. A day out on a luxury catamaran, eating delicious food and enjoying chilled rose with all my new friends, well who would want to miss out on that? One of the best days of my life to date!
As someone who is a huge foodie, I was delighted that food was also a huge part of this trip. We were spoilt with incredible authentic Greek cuisine every single day. Not only were we provided with delicious, healthy, and generous meals at the villa we were also given the opportunity to visit some of Mykonos’s top restaurants. Mealtimes were the time when the group would come together, share stories, and really get to know each other. Forming friendships that will last a lifetime.
To top it all off the Villa was unbelievable. Breath-taking views, infinity pools, beautiful décor and lots of areas where you could chill and read a book if you wanted to.
Thank you Helios, for organising an unforgettable trip and I cannot wait to join the next one. See you soon 😊

Thank you 🙏 for such an amazing retreat! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Everything was perfect: great coaches, fantastic villa, delicious and healthy food, good activities and dancing :) and great friends. Only good vibes!
I will do another retreat with you guys without hesitation 👍

Had the best time on the Helios Retreat in the Bahamas! The resorts was on a stunning private beach that looked like it was out of a magazine. The work outs were stellar with Danny. Not only is Danny an outstanding trainer, he has great spirit and wants to ensure you are having a great time. Mykah, our yoga instructor was an Angel sent from the yoga Gods. She taught us so much about Chakras, yoga poses, and gave us a beautiful foundation for us to take home with us. Her smile was infectious.

Excursion highlights include swimming with the pigs and the swings in the middle of the ocean. It was truly unreal! And the best part, all our memories were captured by our resident photographer, Matt.

Helios is a company I have been following for years but never thought I would book this retreat with my wife. Saaj and I loved every moment of it, from the initial intro with Hugo who was down to earth and easy to connect with, to finding out we were the only couples going on this retreat, to meeting some of the team at the airport to getting greeted by Danny and getting introduced to Sam.

It has by far been one of the best things we have done - if you are looking for something fun, out of your comfort zone, adventurous and are open to meeting new people and love a workout or want to start this is the place for you.

Thank you so much Hugo, Danny and Sam for all your help and support. You were all amazing Danny showed us new exercises and helped me improve techniques.

We will deffo be coming back on another Helios retreat.

The first time with Helios did not disappoint!

We stayed in a luxury chalet in the French Alps.

Everything was absolutely perfect, this was a dream retreat.

Amazing activities, food, accommodation and surrounded by like-minded people. 10/10 for me!

My second Helios trip did not disappoint. The food, atmosphere and connections made with new friends was unmatched!

Each trip is always so fun and so memorable. I highly recommend Helios as the top retreat host if you’re seeking an active but also relaxing trip.

Perfect as always!

This is my second retreat with Helios and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

If you want to get away, meet outgoing and ambitious people, get some workouts in and have a healthy and relaxing break then you need to get in touch with them.

I’ll be back with them for sure.

Can’t put into words how amazing this trip was. The chalet was out of this world and the chef was one of the best I have seen. Hugo was great and the other coaches were amazing at yoga and the workouts. The skiing was the best part as a big group everyday and it was just excellent from start to finish!

My Morocco Helios Retreat experience was the most unique trip I have ever been on! We worked out hard, relaxed to the max during yoga, climbed a mountain & stayed in the desert!!!

It was my 1st solo travelling experience & I felt really supported & part of a fantastic group throughout the whole trip. Chris put on some immense HIIT training circuits which I absolutely loved! Ellie calmed my body & soul with some relaxing yoga sessions, the one in the Sahara was a top trip highlight for me! Georgia was impeccable at organising a perfect trip with so much variety and options to cater for everyone! & Matt was an ace photographer getting our best angles! All staff were outstanding & I felt like they were happy to help in every circumstance.

Our group gelled so well together & I feel like I truly made friends for life. Can’t thank Helios Retreats enough for a mega experience!!! X
