FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an active retreat?

An active retreat combines sporting activities such as hiking, cycling, surfing, climbing, or water sports with relaxation and personal time out. Unlike a classic sports holiday, an active retreat also focuses on conscious recovery, healthy nutrition, and often yoga or meditation alongside physical activity. This way, you can recharge your energy while actively experiencing nature. You'll currently find 300 active retreat offerings with us.

What activities are offered at an active retreat?

The range of activities is diverse and depends on the specific retreat. Typical offerings include hiking, mountain biking, surfing, stand-up paddling, climbing, kayaking, trail running, yoga, and swimming. Many retreats combine several activities to provide plenty of variety. Among our 300 offerings, you're sure to find the perfect active programme for your taste.

Do I need to be very fit to join an active retreat?

No, most active retreats offer programmes for different fitness levels – from beginners to advanced participants. Many organisers provide various difficulty levels to choose from, so you can set your own pace. You'll find information about the requirements in each retreat description. If in doubt, you can contact the provider directly to ask whether the retreat is suitable for your fitness level.

How much does an active retreat cost?

The prices for active retreats vary depending on the destination, duration, accommodation, and included services. On Retreat Urlaub, prices range from €116 to €32.175, with an average price of €1.453. The price typically includes accommodation, guided activities, and often meals as well. Pay attention to the detailed service descriptions when booking to find the best offer for your budget.

Which destinations are particularly popular for active retreats?

Popular destinations for active retreats include the Alps (Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol) for hiking and climbing, Portugal and Spain for surf retreats, the Canary Islands for year-round outdoor activities, Scandinavia for nature and adventure retreats, and Bali and Costa Rica for a combination of surfing, yoga, and tropical nature. Browse through our 300 offerings to discover your ideal destination.

Can I book an active retreat as a solo traveller?

Absolutely! Active retreats are ideal for solo travellers. You'll meet like-minded people who also enjoy movement and nature, and you can make new connections in an open group atmosphere. Many retreats offer single rooms or the option to book a shared room. Solo travellers particularly appreciate the combination of community and personal freedom that an active retreat provides.

What should I bring to an active retreat?

The packing list depends on the planned activities. Generally, we recommend comfortable sportswear, sturdy footwear (e.g., hiking boots), sun protection, a water bottle, and depending on the programme, swimwear or special equipment. Many retreats provide sports equipment such as surfboards, bicycles, or yoga mats on site. You'll usually find a detailed recommendation of what to bring in the retreat description.

How does an active retreat differ from a regular sports holiday?

Compared to a classic sports holiday, an active retreat places greater emphasis on holistic well-being. In addition to sporting activities, there are often complementary offerings such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness exercises, healthy nutrition, and wellness treatments. The goal is not just physical fitness but also mental recovery and personal growth. You'll return from your holiday not only fitter but also more relaxed and balanced. Discover our 300 active retreats now and find your perfect getaway.
