Helios Retreats Recensioni 

Best experience ever, wonderful location (Anantara Maldives) , great fitness training with Amanda and yoga experience with Brij. Thank you Hugo for being a perfect host and Adam for capturing these beautiful memories.

The Maldives Helios Retreat was immaculate and exceeded my expectations. A week of pure happiness, pleasure, and wellness. The perfect start of the New Year.
Maldives is a paradise location.
The Anantara Veli resort was perfect in every element: Rooms, Facilities, Service, Elegance, Fitnesss Setting, Food.
Amelia is a great fitness trainer: Killer strength and cardio workouts, with caring and professionalism and a charming personality.We all felt encouraged inspired and motivated.
Brij, our yogi is charismatic. His classes were fascinating, and the therapies and advice we received are priceless. A unique teacher and therapist with charming personality. He is one of the strengths of Anantara Veli.
Adam, our lovely videographer and content creator was very professional and a pleasure to be around, while he kept capturing the magic moments.
I met new friends while getting stronger and healthier. Very grateful to Hugo and the entire group for such a magnificent experience. I strongly recommend it! And I’ll be back !

It was a perfect wellness retreat. Here were the highlights:
1. Maldives was a perfect destination - instagram perfect pics and just gorgeous in every way
2. Hotel was incredible - overwater villa is on everyone’s bucket list so nice to check that off (very well organized by Hugo)
3. Best of the best trainer - Amelia McNamara is a world class trainer (very patient and tailors perfect workouts) - I have especially high standards since I am a snob when it comes to fitness classes :)
4. Great group of people always down for snorkeling excursions, yoga, boxing and beach workouts
5. Adam (camera guy extraordinaire) captured all the picture perfect moment - allowed everyone to be in the moment and not on their iPhones
Highly recommend

I was sceptical before I went on the Helios retreat in the Maldives - as someone frankly unfit and out of shape, could I really manage a whole week of a fitness retreat - and more than that, is it possible I could actually..... enjoy it?!

The reality was, the retreat was fantastic from start to finish: the Helios team and the hotel staff made this a really special week - Amelia was incredibly supportive, encouraging yet challenging on the workouts, Hugo was a fabulous host and Adam was a brilliant addition - creating great memories for us the whole week.

Yoga with Brij was excellent: thorough with well put together classes, and the whole Anantara staff were just incredible: dedicated, friendly and completely service oriented.

The balance between activities and free time was well constructed - it never felt like you were rushing around, with plenty of time to enjoy the incredible waters of the island.

The food was plentiful and delicious - no deprivation diet here, but plenty of option for healthy choices (or not!)

I'd thoroughly recommend this trip and wouldn't hesitate to book again

Thank you for the most fantastic week Hugo and team! Amazing training from Amelia and yoga by Brij, in the picture perfect Maldives. Everything was so well organised and it was the perfect mix of fitness and fun. We came as a group of strangers and left as friends, with an amazing set of photos captured by the lovely Adam to treasure for years to come. I’ll certainly be booking another trip very soon. Thanks again for being such a fab host x

Absolutely awful manager. Seems to be in it for the money. No care or concern for guests. Refuses to respond to email or messages after he owes money. Disappointed in the actions displayed, especially when refunds were assured. Although the retreats look amazing, these action make me questions the reliability and management of this company.

Perfect first retreat! As a newbie to this concept, Helios and the crew in Eleuthera were wonderful! Cat dePasquale hosted with grace, a great Helios representative, making all moving parts sync together. Charlie Meister, the fitness instructor, has such wonderful energy, kindness and enthusiasm. His work outs could be modified for all different fitness levels, his passion about nutrition and fueling your body were an added bonus, as well as mad finance knowledge :)
Katy Ingulli is one of the best humans on this planet. Her love of yoga spills over in how she delivers every practice. Katy makes modifications to the individual setting from demanding to restorative - even both in the same practice. Having yoga directly after the fitness class was a great reminder that mobility is a fundamental part for everyone on their fitness journeys!
The villa was a wonderful - the opportunity to bond with people from all over the world at the retreat was great, but also private spaces to have your own alone time. More board games are needed though! Wonderful memories yelling answers to Catch phrase :) I have recommended this retreat to many friends, family and acquaintances. It was absolutely a gift to step away from everyday life and have this focus on myself. And HUGE shout out to Shauna who was our chef. Her egg salad is LEGENDARY. Thanks Helios and looking forward to the next retreat!

Great schedule! Beautiful people!!!!

Helios is a great concept. My experience was filled with daily workouts, yoga and adventures exploring the Bahamas. :) The villa was very peaceful which really enabled relaxation. We had a private beach as well as an infinity pool right outside our back door. I met some amazing people and the manager & trainers were really friendly and helpful throughout. I would recommend Helios for those looking to kickstart their fitness or for a healthy alternative to a usual holiday. Thank you Hugo!

It has been a week since I returned from my Moroccan adventure and I haven’t stopped talking about it! What an incredible experience. From start to finish the trip was wonderful. The accommodation in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains was great, very peaceful and relaxing; the food was all locally sourced which was evident from its flavour and freshness. The trip into Marrakesh was fun; the souks are colourful and chaotic (although I was terrible at haggling) and the rooftop dinner was second to none. The second part of the adventure was our Saharan stay- definitely not to be missed. We stayed in a palace in the dunes and were warmly welcomed by our fabulous hosts who taught us about the Berber lifestyle and played us traditional music.
Georgia had everything organised to perfection which enabled the guests to relax and revitalise. Eve was wonderfully encouraging and even got me enjoying yoga! Adam captured all of the trip with positivity and enthusiasm- I can’t wait to see the video.
All in all a truly magical experience 🇲🇦 🐪

The Morocco retreat was absolutely wonderful! Everything was on point from planning to execution and making sure we had beautiful moments captured through it all. I can’t say enough about the Helios team. Georgia is an amazing host and was on top of literally everything imaginable on the retreat. Eve’s sessions were fun and challenging - loved the diversity of strength, conditioning, yoga and Pilates. Adam is quite the talented photographer, going above and beyond to get amazing photos and videos of our experience, and also making sure we were laughing through them. The excursions were incredible, especially in the Sahara desert, and the entire experience felt well curated. It was a great time all around - definitely recommend and am looking forward to my next retreat with Helios :)

Helios Retreats was a fantastic experience. A good way to meet new friends, get some healthy exercise in and experience a new destination. Prior to getting to Morocco the personal touch of Hugo’s (owner) video chat and Georgia’s warmth and organization helped the trip flow smooth. Not to mention Eve’s ease to push me out of my comfort zone into yoga. Then there was Adam to capture all the memories. I highly recommend attending one and hope to join again soon!

My retreat to Morocco with Helios surpassed any and all expectations that I had. The hotels were amazing and luxurious-having not only exceptional amenities, but also delicious Moroccan cuisine. From our time in Marrakesh, the Atlas mountains, and to the Sahara desert and back, I experienced the culture, the food, adventures, and most importantly made new and wonderful friends. The trip was perfectly balanced with daily workouts, time to relax, and tons of exploring/fun :-) I look forward to my next retreat with Helios.

Amazing experience traveling to Morocco! The team was great and I always felt taken care of. I will definitely be joining another retreat with Helios in 2023.

The team did an amazing job putting together an relaxing and unforgettable adventure!

The Tuscany retreat is a great mixture of training and relaxation. A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The trainers were amazing. Nico is one of the best. His training caters for everyone and is well thought out and planned to perfection and accessible to all. His energy and enthusiasm for what he does is contagious. I’d train with him again in a heartbeat! Tamara is an inspirational yoga teacher and taught some amazing classes with her usual poise, grace and elegance. She is extremely knowledgeable about her subject and I thoroughly enjoyed her classes. Luckily she’s in London not Milan - so I might just get to some of her classes in the future! Georgia as our fearless leader was an excellent host as ever. Well done Helios - another great retreat.

The Helios 2022 Tuscany retreat was an amazing experience to be a part of. The trip was led by Georgia, who made sure that all the guests were taken care of and the retreat logistics were executed seamlessly. Our HIIT instructor, Nico, encouraged us to challenge ourselves with each workout regardless of where we were on our fitness journey. Tamara, our yoga instructor, centered and guided our group through exercises that not only balanced us physically, but also mentally— allowing us a much needed reprieve from our usually busy lives.

The retreat was the escape I needed from my hectic day-to-day, the perfectly curated opportunity to refocus on my own physical and spiritual journey. The group of guests, participants from all walks of life, were a pleasure to get to know—bonding over early workouts, wine tastings, and nightly dessert!

This retreat was really wholesome, it felt like the perfect balance of fitness, relaxation and enjoyment. It left me feeling strong and energized.

The resort was gorgeous and had lots to do like spas, pool, trails etc. That said, I would have loved for extra events to be included as part of the package or a few more activities than just down time at the resort post workout. The resort and location was incredible but the staff on the retreat was what truly made it special.

Georgia was not only a joy to hang out with but also took care of our every need. Nico made the HIIT workouts incredibly fun and planned it so thoughtfully that it allowed us to push ourselves more that we thought we could. Tamara's yoga classes after was the perfect wind-down and stretch after HIIT, she was incredibly graceful and inspiring.

I was also lucky to meet an incredibly great group of people with a mix of groups from the UK & US and solo travelers. I would absolutely join another retreat soon!

We had to been looking forward to this retreat for 9 months and it way exceeded all our expectations. Everything from the villa, to the fitness, the yoga, the food and the amazing people we met. The Helios team (Hugo, Danny, Adam & Sheila) were incredible, so attentive, and kept us moving, laughing, happy and on film. By the end of the week it felt like our holiday family and we couldn’t have wished for a better group of people -fellow guests and the team. The extra activities were all epic and well worth it so don’t miss any of them. And on top of all this it’s in Mykonos so what not to like! Just book now and go!!!

Had a wonderful time in Tuscany with the Helios team! Thanks again to Georgia, Nico and Tamara for a wonderful few days of fitness, yoga, and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. We were also lucky to have such a great group of people to spend a few days with!
