What a truly wonderful and well-curated experience Hugo, Georgia, Tamara, and Nico created for the September 2022 Tuscany retreat. It was the perfect balance of activities and engagement, but also reflection and a true retreat from daily life. Nico served us fantastic HIIT workouts, and Tamara helped us re-center with yoga, all while Georgia served as our fearless leader. What was truly special, though, was the nearly instant bond we formed with one another. Hugo and team not only booked great lodging and activities, but they also brought together such an incredible group of diverse people with real chemistry. No matter your fitness level or background, all were welcomed, and you cannot find a more supportive atmosphere than the one Helios has made. Truly special, and we hope to return again on another retreat!

I have just returned from the Tuscany retreat. I had a lovely time on the trip, Nico was a brilliant trainer and made the workouts challenging but fun. Our yoga instructor Tamara was also excellent and I have a new found love of yoga and the benefits. Georgia our host was brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us. I have been on the Mykonos retreat previously and I think the Tuscany retreat could maybe be improved with an additional activity outside of the hotel. The surroundings are very picturesque and the perfect backdrop to recharge.

Thank you to the Helios team for the best week in Mykonos! It was an experience of a lifetime! Having never done a retreat or travelled solo before, I decided to spontaneously go for it a couple of weeks before and I’m so glad I took the last spot! My goal was to meet likeminded people, enjoy all the fitness, eat amazing food and explore the island, but I really got so much more out of the experience than that!

Helios have created an amazing balance of fitness, partying and exploring! Not only do you get to stay in a beautiful villa and work out looking at gorgeous views, you get to eat delicious food, visit the most beautiful places on the island and the best bit…you enjoy the experience with amazing people who quickly become great friends! Our group really did have fun and create the best memories together!

Thank you to Hugo and the team, they couldn’t have done enough to ensure we had the best experience. Danny brought so much energy to every day at the villa as well as his challenging workouts, Juliet brought her calm zen to every yoga class whilst Adam was so passionate about capturing all of our amazing memories! They really were the dream team!

What an amazing wellness retreat and for someone who loves an active holiday, I will do it again and again.
It’s our second time attending Helios retreat, from booking to the detailed itinerary, pick up from the airport, beautiful accommodation, delicious food and daily exciting activities, and relaxing yoga, which I highly recommend it.
Meeting lovely people in the retreat is a bonus.
Thank you Hugo and team for this unforgettable holiday and looking forward to the next one!

Hugo and the Helios team are alchemists; distilling the elements of a perfect trip compressed into a week. Leaving the retreat is like saying goodbye at the end of summer camp.

Between the early morning workouts and the late night partying, you would have had such an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and tap into this well of positive energy (not to mention the snacking!).

Thank you for an experience, I cannot recommend it enough.

I couldn’t recommend Helios enough. I’ve never done any solo travel before or a retreat so had no idea what to expect, but it exceeded any expectation I had. The week felt so seamless, the villa was beautiful and we were so well looked after. All the food in/out of the villa was amazing, and the workouts/yoga were just the right balance of fun yet pushing you at the same time. The people absolutely made the trip for me, nobody took anything too seriously and everyone was so lovely. I haven’t had that much fun on a holiday in a long time, from the workouts to messing around by the pool and of course dancing the nights away! Massive shout out to everyone involved in organising the trip/looking after us, and to the group of retreaters for making it a week to remember - I went into it really needing a break and to reset, it fully delivered. Can’t wait to do another one and catch up with everyone!

Having been to a number of retreats before, Helios is definitely my favorite so far.

I left the retreat feeling stronger, rejuvenated and more confident, and that was my ultimate goal.

Everything about the retreat completely exceeded my expectations. From the safety, to the warm welcome and companionship throughout the entire journey.

I am extremely grateful to Hugo. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to him and his team for facilitating this incredible retreat.

Everything was perfect. from the gorgeous secluded setting to the tasty , plentiful food, the combinations of workouts, yoga and parties. It was truly the perfect balance.

I can’t wait to see you all again soon and I will definitely be returning on the retreat again next year.

Thank you again so much.

Huge shoutout to Danny for being an exceptional trainer, Adam for capturing our perfect and most memorable moments, Juliet for bringing Zen to our group and Ate Sheila for taking care of us in the villa.

Thank you Helios Dream Team. ❤️

I cannot say enough about my experiences with Helios Retreats. I recently returned from Crete and had an incredible time. Everything is so meticulously planned and there is something for everyone. This was my second retreat with the company and I cannot wait to book my next one. My fav part? Meeting new people who have similar interests and creating lifetime memories.

The team consists of absolute rockstars and I cannot thank them enough!
- Amelia, is the best and most motivating trainer.
- Georgia, was always a step ahead and ensured we had the most incredible time
- Matt, our photographer captured some epic pics and ensured that we didn't have to spend our time documenting the trip.

All in all - sign up for a retreat! You will not regret it!

This is the first time I’ve booked a Helios retreat and it definitely won’t be the last. I had the most amazing week in Mykokos meeting fantastic likeminded people and have come away with friends for life. Everything was seamlessly organised and the week was the perfect balance between fitness and fun! A big shout out to Liz who would make sure we got our sweat on during HIIT and to Tamara who left us feeling completely rejuvenated and balanced after every yoga session. The food was incredible as we had a Greek chef cooking for us and the wonderful Sheila made the villa feel like home away from home. A big thank you to Hugo and Cat for making my first trip an unforgettable experience :) x

My second time coming to Helios and I can’t recommend it enough! If you like fitness and adventure then this is for you! Met some really amazing people and got a sweet tan 😆🙌🏼

Helios Retreats in Mykonos was an unforgettable experience. Holidaying with a group of likeminded, welcoming people. Waking up each morning in an incredible villa and enjoying the perfect mix of workouts, chill out time and exciting planned activities. The highlight for me was doing yoga in front of the breathtaking view and the boat trip. The food was delicious and healthy with plenty of options cooked by a Greek chef. Grateful to Hugo and the team x

This was my first Helios retreat and wow what an experience. I cant believe i was so nervous about coming on my own. Hugo and team made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable. Every day was planned out so well from workouts, yoga, walks to the beach, boat trip, dinners out, quads, and not to mention the amazing Cavo Tagoo! It really did exceed my expectations! Its all about balance right, working out and having fun! Oh and the food was amazing too! Its an experience i wont forget. Thank you Hugo for the best week!

My experience with Helios Retreats will be one to remember for a lifetime! The entirety of the team made me feel so welcomed from day one which made me feel so comfortable and appreciated on a personal level with each and every individual. The accomodation, the workouts, the food, the activities etc well and truly exceeded my expectations of anything I had. I am so grateful to not only take away and immense amount of memories, but beyond lucky to be taking away some life long friendships. I would highly recommend Helios Retreats to anyone out there 😌

I was recommended Helios retreats by a friend who had recently returned from the Crete trip. I was still a little nervous as I was a little older than the majority of the group and perhaps had different expectations - I went to exercise, reset and relax in a beautiful setting. Villa Joy was just idyllic, the best view in Mykonos and the most perfect space for a retreat. I would suggest getting in quick and booking a single room for yourself as they were 5* suite luxury! Having said that my roomie made my trip 💖
For me it was so much more than the break I felt I needed, I made a couple of wonderful friends, I enjoyed learning about a mixed group of solo travellers, went to the best VIP spots on the island to eat, drink, and if we wanted, to party too! There were other activities that I now wish I had booked, the boat trip and quads after hearing the feedback from others. So start saving now and just do it!
The early morning workouts with Liz then yoga with beautiful Tamara as the sun rose was the best medicine anyone could have. The food delivered by Bowl a local healthy eating cafe was nourishing and tasty and having our own private chef Frankie was pretty special.
Like Tamara said in our final yoga pose, set your own intention in life and in your practice and for me this was the best takeaway from an experience I will never forget… although I’m already looking at the next trip! Thankyou to Hugo, Cat, Tamara, Liz and Sheila who was the biggest superstar housekeeper in the Villa. If I could give my own personal experience 6 stars I would 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️

I had a fantastic time at the Helios retreat in Crete! The location was stunning, the hotel stellar, and the team amazing! Georgia was a lovely, thoughtful host; Matt was an incredibly skilled professional photographer who captured some of our most memorable moments; and Amelia was fantastic (per usual!). I came to this retreat already knowing that we’d get great workouts in as I’ve worked with Amelia 1:1 and in group settings before. The setting just made the entire experience over-the-top, and it was lovely meeting like-minded people to enjoy it all with. <3

This is my second trip with the Helios team and yet again they delivered! We stayed at the beautiful
Acro Suites in Crete. The service, surrounding, food and ambiance were 5 stars all around so it was very easy to let go off all stress and simply just relax by the beautiful infinity pools and recharge between the workouts.
Our brilliant trainer Amelia created a great mix of workouts that was adapted to everyone needs and motivated us all the way through the end! And the music she put together was just amazing! Georgia our lovely host, catered to all of our requests with a smile and made the stay extra special! And a finale thank you to the talented Matt that shot all the content. Just an amazing photographer and all around great guy! Once again I meet many new friends, had great conversations and came back rested and ready to work! I can highly recommend a retreat and I’m already planning for my next one! Thanks!

I just finished up on my second Helios retreat (the first being Morocco last October) and already can't wait to go on my next one. The accomodation, food, itinerary, and group of people - once again all spot on. The accomodation at Acro Suites was so incredibly luxurious (suites with private infinity pools and cliffside sea views) and the whole trip was a perfect balance of relaxing/active to totally recharge and enjoy the sunshine. I love the way Helios brings together such a lovely like-minded group and am grateful to have met some more awesome people. Amelia is a super inspiring trainer and knows how to get the most out of you in every session in a fun and motivating way.

If you're unsure about whether to book into a Helios trip or not, let this review be your sign to go ahead and do it :)

Spent five days in Crete with the Helios gang and had an incredible time! This was my third retreat having previously done Mykonos and Tuscany in 2020 and it was done brilliantly. The accommodation at Acro Suites was amazing and probably one of the nicest places I’ve stayed! I met a bunch of great people on the retreat with the highlight being our boat trip all together - had the best time! Shout out to Amelia for all her great workouts, Matt for some amazing photo shots and Georgia for organising all the activities - will definitely be returning again for another retreat!

This is my third retreat with Helios, it’s almost become an annual tradition of mine as I enjoy it so much. The hotel in Crete was out of the world, complete luxury. Amelia the trainer was amazing, I really enjoyed her workouts as they are super varied and she also tweaks them according to our feedbacks. Georgia was super organised and really attentive, checked in with everyone throughout out the retreat. Matt the photographer was super patient with my 1000+ photos requests. Met some really amazing people on the retreat, with similar passion to travel and fitness.

It was my very first solo trip and my first trip with Helios… I had THE BEST time. I was nervous about going abroad alone to a country I had never been to with people I didn’t know but from the minute I arrived I felt comfortable. I have just returned from Crete after the most incredible week. Acro Suites was absolutely spectacular, the views from my Wave suite were out of this world, it was pure luxury. Georgia who lead the trip for Helios was a total babe, and really made my trip stress free - she had organised everything for us all with precision, all I needed to do was attend. Amelia the PT was incredible, her HIT workouts were super fun, and high energy she is such an uplifting and motivating person I really loved working out with her. Matt the photographer/videographer captured the whole trip which was amazing, so I could just live in the moment but know that the memories were being captured. Matt was such a great person to be around he really felt like a great addition to the group dynamic and got fully involved. There were 16 of us in total from all over the world which was so lovely as we all had one common interest - fitness! The workouts were in the morning, and the afternoon there would be an activity or leisure time around the pool. One of the days we went on a quad biking trip which was so exciting, another day we hired a sunset catamaran exclusively which was epic.
Every evening we had dinner as a big group, and we all got to know one another over a glass or two of vino and delicious food. After the past two covid years, this trip was just what I needed - I feel like it’s been a great reset for me and a real eye opener that there is a world out there to explore, and I can’t wait to book my next Helios trip. It was great to take a break from normal life and meet a group of fabulously amazing people, get fit and stay in total luxury. Thank you so much!! I’ll be back xx
