Yoga and meditation teacher, reiki practitioner, psychobioenergetic therapist and macrobiotic consultant. That’s Sonia Ferre. It’s no wonder that wellness breaks at MasQi, The Energy House, a 19th century farmhouse turned retreat, are so transformative.

Located in the heart of the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park between Alicante and Valencia, there’s a range of yoga, anti-stress, detox and transformational programmes to choose from. Discover healthy, macrobiotic cuisine, connect with nature, recharge your batteries and take away tools to live better at home.

Our reviewer Elizabeth Bennett says: ‘MasQi is Sonia’s life’s purpose and she really is the soul of the place. She goes out her way to make guests feel at home and was a supportive presence throughout my stay. It was the therapy work with Sonia that was also the most transformative.’

He was a successful London oil broker. He worked in the City and on Wall Street. But it was in 1999 while living in Athens that Jean-Claude Chalmet found his true calling - the understanding of the human mind.

He went on to train with a leading psychiatrist/neurologist/family therapist, graduating in 2003, and after growing his own practice, JC - as he’s known to his guests and friends – founded The Place Retreat in Seminyak in 2015.

It’s now a retreat centre for psychotherapy and family therapy in combination with Kundalini yoga and meditation, where individuals, couples and groups can work on their transformation. JC firmly believes that overall health can’t be separated from mental health.

Our reviewer Annabel Heseltine told us: ‘Be they burnt-out bankers, traumatised divorcees, crashed widows, anxious mothers, lost teenagers or just people seeking a new way, guests rarely come for just a week. More usually they stay a month or two or three.’

Will is a branding expert who, in the past, has propelled some big-name brands to success. He has now turned his attention to retreats, where he helps people realign their professional success with who they, deep down, really are.

Our reviewer Annabel Heseltine went on Will’s Elevate Retreat in Bali and told us: ‘Using his own branding techniques honed over 30 years as a global CEO and inspired by top schools MIT and Harvard, along with some simple tools; a pack of cards, an iconic object, chalks and crayons, meditation and nature, there’s even a bit of Desmond Tutu in the mix, Will work-shopped us through a series of exercises to strip away self-delusion and own our true aspirations.’

You can catch Will Travis in action on an Elevate Retreat at The Jungle House in Gianyar in Bali from 28-31 August 2026. Expect carefully orchestrated workshops to help you smash through limiting boundaries, identify your ambition and harness your power. Last few places available!

A qualified yoga teacher and lifelong lover of the outdoors, Steph introduces her guests to a slower, more authentic side of Greece in gorgeous spots like Dikastika, Pelion, Thessaly and Zagori on the mainland, and the island of Crete.

She draws inspiration from the Blue Zones, where people live longer and healthier lives, to focus on community, natural movement and stress reduction. Nefeli is derived from the ancient Greek work meaning ‘cloud’, so the idea is you will be on Cloud Nine.

Our reviewer Nirpal Dhaliwal loved his week at Pelion, and told us: ‘In ancient Greek mythology, Nefeli was a cloud nymph, the goddess of hospitality, generosity, peace and loyalty – and Stephanie’s artfully curated week manifests all of these qualities.’

When she's not leading retreats, you'll usually find Steph exploring a new hiking route, searching for the perfect village taverna, or planning the next Nefeli Nine adventure. Her aim is simple: to help people disconnect from busy lives, reconnect with nature, and experience the Greece that locals know and love.

Paris, a guardian of Broughton Sanctuary, set in 3,000 glorious acres near Skipton in Yorkshire, has so many strings to her bow. Weaving energy work, prayer, sound, somatics, non-dual ta**ra yoga, and spiritual devotion, Paris creates a highly nurturing environment so guests are free to leave their everyday behind and relax.

Now she’s launching her signature retreat – Sanctuary of She, which has been lovingly and carefully crafted by women, for women - a cocoon of rest, renewal and inspiration with a festival-like vibe from 14-18 October 2026. Think workshops, ceremonies, meditations, foraging, song and dance.

Jenny is founder of The Wild Times, which runs wonderful yoga retreats in the UK, as well as France, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden in Europe, and Morocco in North Africa.

Qualified in vinyasa and yin yoga, ayurveda and paddleboarding, she's also the author of Imagine a World, a children's book about nature's secrets - a subject close to her heart, as you'll see from her lifestyle.

For she loves nothing better than being by, in or on the sea, taking her morning coffee outside, or sitting round a campfire.

Our reviewer Sasha Bates loved Jenny's yoga and paddleboarding retreat in Somerset, UK, and told us:
'Jenny is a laid-back, affable presence, and I especially love her yoga atop our boards. It's a wonderful combination of blissful, calm floating, but with a fair amount of core strength engagement needed to stay balanced and afloat!'
