“A wholesome trip, with every detail considered. A beautiful villa, a variety of workouts and yoga sessions, complemented with off-site activities such as hiking, a stunning run, kayaking and a sauna and cold plunge experience. Everyone made you feel welcome and it was so refreshing to be around such positive people who challenged you in all the right ways. It speaks volumes that many of the other guests were repeat bookers. ♥️ Although this was my first salt escapes trip, it certainly won’t be my last. Would 💯 recommend to anyone considering booking.”
“This was my 3rd salt escapes visit in as many years. I already had full confidence in the quality of the trip beforehand due to past experiences but this one topped the lot. The Cape Town trip is curated to such a high spec with so much variety baked in. From hiking table mountain, kayaking with dolphins, a memorably intense but great sauna experience, running chapman’s peak, market evening, boat day ft. Brai. The workouts & yoga remain the staple but this one added much, much more. Thoroughly recommend. Big shout out to Amy/Mike as ever but Bee, Tam & Becks added new spice to the dream team. See you again in 2027.”
“Salt Escapes has really created something special. Every detail was perfect: the team, the villa, the food, the location and all the activities. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely book again and again. Thank you Mike, Amy, Tam, Bea and Bex for such amazing memories.”
“I had big expectations going in and those expectations were blown away! The villa and property was insanely beautiful, but the people made it even better. We all became close in a very short amount of time and made life long friends on the trip. Alex, our main host, kept us on schedule and brought positive energy the entire time! Our fitness coaches, Leah and Jake, pushed us in the best was possible - true professionals. Annie, our Yogi, was sweet and brought her infectious, calming energy. Our chef Netty was a workhorse in the kitchen, keeping us nourished with some of the most creative, healthy food I’ve ever had. All around it was simply amazing and I didn’t want it all to end.”
“Incredible host team, food was unbelievable, the beach and the accommodations were truly outstanding and the workouts brought the whole thing over the top. 🔥 PURA VIDA”
“The best week ever! Salt Escapes exceeded every expectation and gave me a holiday I truly couldn’t have asked for more from. From the incredible workouts and amazing food to the friendships, adventures, and all of the little experiences in between, every part of the week was so thoughtfully put together and unforgettable. A special thanks to the best hosts and crew! <3”
“What an incredible week with Salt Escapes! Seriously, these guys have figured something out. Alex was an awesome host and somehow managed to make the whole week feel effortless. Annie (yoga) and Leah and Jake (fitness) brought an absolutely killer vibe every single day—equal parts motivation, good energy, and just the right amount of suffering. 😂 And then there’s Netty, our chef. 10/10. Honestly, the food alone might be worth the trip. Amazing people, great workouts, ridiculous food, lots of laughs, and an all-around unforgettable experience. Came for the fitness, left with some new friends and a strong desire to do it all over again. Highly recommend!”
“An Incredible Week in Costa Rica with Salt Escapes! What an amazing week! Salt Escapes absolutely nailed the balance between fitness, relaxation, great food, and an incredible setting. The villa in Santa Teresa was beautiful, spacious, and extremely comfortable, right on the ocean with a fantastic pool. It was the perfect place to work hard, unwind, and enjoy Costa Rica. But what really made the experience special was the Salt Escapes team. Every single person was outstanding. Jake and Leah were phenomenal leading the workouts. Their energy, coaching, and programming were spot-on. The sessions were challenging without being overwhelming, and they knew exactly how to push us while keeping everyone motivated and encouraging us to give our best. You could tell how much thought went into planning each workout. Netty was an absolute star in the kitchen! Every meal was delicious, healthy, creative, and beautifully prepared. Her hospitality and warmth made the whole experience even better. We genuinely looked forward to every meal. Annie brought the perfect balance with her peaceful yoga sessions, helping us stretch, recover, and relax after the workouts. She was also wonderful company throughout the week. And Alex was a superb host. She kept everything organized and running like a well-oiled machine, handling all the details so effortlessly that all we had to think about was working out, enjoying ourselves, and relaxing. What impressed me most was how seamlessly everything came together. We were challenged physically, ate incredibly well, had plenty of time to relax, and enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t recommend Salt Escapes and this particular team highly enough. They really know how to create something special. An unforgettable week, and an experience I’d happily do again!”
“What an incredible experience at Salt Escape! From the amazing workouts to the beautiful villa and the incredible team, everything exceeded my expectations! Alex was an absolutely fantastic host and made sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. Leah and Jake delivered some seriously amazing workouts, challenging us, pushing our limits, and making every session worth it! Annie was an incredible yogi with an amazing personality . And Netty? She kept us fueled with some seriously banging food! Ñ The entire team brought such great energy and made the experience so special. The perfect combination of fitness, relaxation, amazing people, and good vibes. I couldn’t recommend Salt Escape enough! ❤️”
“Incredible experience! Well-organized itinerary with challenging workouts and down time for your own adventures. Would definitely recommend booking your next retreat with Salt Escapes!”
“What a week!! Amazing people, incredible accommodation, awesome workouts, amazing yoga, unbelievable food, once in a lifetime experiences and the best team! Already booking my next trip! Can’t wait for the adventures. Love you guys!”
“This isn’t a retreat, it’s a life changing experience that introduces you to beautiful places, incredible itineraries, and the most wonderful group of people you can possibly imagine. Amy, Mike, Tam, Bea, and Bex are world class professionals and they create an atmosphere that makes groups come together and develop lasting bonds. You can’t finish a retreat without wanting to book your next one.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such an incredible experience from start to finish. The trainers were the best, food was amazing, and the location was beautiful. What I appreciated most was the balance of the week. There were just enough activities and plans to make every day feel full and worthwhile, while still leaving plenty of downtime to relax, explore, and enjoy being there. Everything was incredibly well organized, the people were great, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I’d highly recommend Salt Escapes to anyone looking for a trip that combines great training, amazing food, beautiful surroundings, and a genuinely fun group experience. I’d absolutely do another one!”
“A truly incredible trip & I can’t wait to book my next one! The workouts were challenging, but Rachelle always made them great fun whilst pushing us to the limit. The yoga was complete bliss & I got to experience yoga like never before from the lovely Heather. We had fantastic food ever from chef Bex - just when you thought it couldn’t get any better the next meal seemed to somehow, always top the previous. The whole Salt team were always on hand to help out with anything we needed & I always felt they were part of the team. Shoutout to Lauren, LP, Rach, Heather and Bex. Thanks for such a blast!”
“Amazing retreat! Heather’s yoga classes are exceptional, and Rach’s workouts are amazing for getting the blood pumping! Would 100% book again.”
“I enjoyed an extremely fun and wholesome Salt Escapes trip to Portugal. They picked a fabulous villa complex, the food was first class, the excursions were well chosen, the workouts were good and varied, the yoga sessions I loved …and all with some lovely likeminded people! Highly recommend!”
“Just returned from the Comporta Salt Escape. It was an epic experience, great Salt Crew, amazing fellow guests, workouts and excursions were superb, food was exceptional and the villa was sublime. Truly one of the best holidays ever! Highly recommend, already thinking about which one to do next year.”
“Absolutely blown away by this entire experience! Amazing staff made us feel right at home. Perfectly balanced itinerary between active and adventurous with plenty of downtime to relax as well. The villa was gorgeous and food was top notch all week!”
“Had the absolute best time in Portugal, an amazing group of people, amazing experience all organised by the best team. Shout out to the Salt team Lauren, Rachelle, Heather, LP and Bex for looking after us so incredibly well and making it sooo much fun. Will deffo come again”
“Comporta, Portugal journey was a pleasure with a mix of challenging workouts, fun adventures and relaxing sessions. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Would recommend to any like-minded people across the globe, Cheers.”
“Fantastic everything! - vibes, workouts, FOOD, views! There isn’t enough space to explain just how amazing this experience was. I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again. Everyone part of the Salt Team were incredible, warm, welcoming and an absolute joy. The only bad thing is that at the end of the six days you’ll have to leave the wonderful villa and all your new friends. This was my first time solo travelling and doing a Salt Escape, but definitely won’t be my last!”
“What a week in comporta with salt escapes! Food was 10/10, coaches were great and the workouts were so fun! Such a great laugh with everyone and the villa we stayed at was BEAUTIFUL! The energy bought by the coaches made the week”
“A really brilliant experience, with an international guestlist and a fantastic team making it all happen. Workouts scaled to the individual, amazing food from a private chef Bex, and Lauren, LP, Rachelle and Heather did an amazing job of bringing everyone together. Recommended.”
“What an unforgettable experience. A huge shoutout to Heather, Lauren, Rachel, and LP—they bring the best energy, but they're also super attentive and really take pride in what they do. I had such a great group of people, too; I made so many new friends and felt like we just laughed and had fun the entire time. Between the workouts, the incredible meals, and how pretty the place was, the whole week was just perfect.”
“Si vous allez sur Instagram, vous aurez une bonne idée de ce que vous allez voir. Cependant c’est impossible de comprendre ce que vous allez vivre sans y participer. L’organisation et le support tout au long du processus d’inscription, la capacité d’adaptation du groupe qui nous reçois, la qualité de la nourriture, les activités organisées d’avance, l’énergie du groupe, la camaraderie qui s’installe au fur et à mesure que la semaine avance, les souvenirs qui se crées.. tout le monde devrait vivre ça au moins une fois dans sa vie! Je recommande fortement. Et en passant, j’étais vraiment stressé de ne pas être en assez bonne condition physique pour suivre le groupe et d’avoir de la difficulté à m’intégrer étant donné que mon anglais n’est pas parfait, mais tout s’est super bien passé à ce niveau aussi !”
“There was so much to love about this trip to Comporta, Portugal. The staff was amazing and incredibly thoughtful. We were well taken care of! The food was unbelievable, the workouts were tough, the yoga was excellent, surfing, horseback riding were lovely… and such wonderful conversation and fun with the group. I would highly recommend salt escapes for a solo or duo travel adventure!”
“I had high hopes going into this experience; the reviews, photos, and everything I had seen made it seem like it would be an incredible week. Somehow, Salt Escapes exceeded all expectations. The price is absolutely worth it, the amazing reviews are deserved, and the photos honestly don’t even do the Comporta experience justice. Everything is so thoughtfully put together, from the workouts and activities to the location and overall atmosphere. And the food deserves its own shoutout it was absolutely incredible. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and something everyone genuinely looked forward to every day. But what really makes Salt Escapes special is the team and the people you meet. You arrive surrounded by like-minded people who may be strangers, and somehow by the end of day one and definitely by the end of the week, they're genuinely friends. A huge thank you to the entire Salt Escapes team for such an unforgettable week. I’m already looking forward to booking my next trip with you! ✨”
“What an experience. Salt escapes lived up to my expectations and more. Host, coaches and chef were all amazing and made every effort to make the retreat both challenging and fun. Great vibes with great company. I’ll be back.”
“My trip to Ibiza with Salt Escapes was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, I felt incredibly cared for, supported, and welcomed. The private villa was absolutely gorgeous — beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect setting to relax and recharge. The food was another highlight: every meal was varied, fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. I genuinely looked forward to every meal! The workouts definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone, but they were tough in the best possible way — challenging, rewarding, and so satisfying. I loved the variety and balance of activities, from yoga and hiking to swimming in the pool and ocean. Having access to the sauna and steam room was the perfect complement to everything. Coming home feeling stronger was such a rewarding part of the experience. What stood out most, though, was the level of care, thought, and intention that went into every detail. For example, our hostess switched Boat Day to ensure we would have the most perfect weather — and it ended up being one of the highlights of the week! There were so many thoughtful touches like this throughout our stay. Salt Escapes created an environment where I could completely switch off, focus on myself, enjoy incredible surroundings, and simply be looked after. I left feeling refreshed, stronger, energized, and genuinely grateful for the experience. Ibiza was beautiful, but it was the combination of my wonderful fellow guests and the top-notch Salt Escapes staff that made this trip so special. I can’t wait to book my next Salt Escapes adventure! I would absolutely recommend Salt Escapes to anyone looking for a luxury wellness retreat that nourishes the body and soul while invigorating all five senses.”
“Amazing week spent in Ibiza with the Salt Escapes team (Lauren, LJ, Annie and Nesta). The villa was perfect, the workouts testing but good fun and the food was exceptional. Both the hike and boat day were expertly organised adding the feeling a proper holiday. I’d definitely recommend salt escapes for anyone looking for a new experience and to push themselves our comfort zone whilst having the opportunity to meet some amazing people.”
“I had the most amazing week with Salt Espaces in Menorca! The whole experience was so thoughtfully put together. The villa was an absolute gem and the perfect setting to switch off and recharge. We were also completely spoiled by the amazing chefs, who made us delicious food three times a day! The coaches and yogi were brilliant - motivating, with the best energy, and genuinely lovely. I also met such a great group of people, which made the week even more special. The perfect balance of training, relaxing and having fun. I’d highly recommend to anyone considering a fitness retreat with Salt Espace, I’d go back in a heartbeat!”
“Was totally nervous to do a solo group trip out of the country, but once I arrived the fear was gone. Lauren, LJ, Annie, and Nesta were absolutely incredible. Also all the other people on the trip were so sweet. The villa grounds were amazing. The Yoga Dome probably one of my favorite things. The workouts were challenging but fun. Yoga 🧘🏻 was my favorite part. Boxing was something completely new to me but also fun to try. Nesta how is this woman not married? She is by far one amazing cook. Every meal was a nice variety of food and the colors and presentation ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Highlights of the trip, Boat Day and Hike Day. Loved our meals outside. Overall a great time, totally out of my comfort zone but l oh bed every minute of it.”
“This was my second Salt Escapes trip, I can’t say enough good things about the best fitness and fun week of your life!”
“Just got back from my first Salt Escape trip and can’t wait to book my next one! The entire trip was flawlessly planned with exceptional hosting from our wonderful team, Lauren, LJ, Annie and Nesta. Our workouts were 10/10 with incredible coaching from LJ meanwhile yoga with Annie was perfect for stretching very sore muscles 🤣. Every single meal created by Nesta was creative and delicious, meanwhile Lauren was an impeccable host ensuring every need was met. The villa was stunning and it was so fun to share it with likeminded people. Thank you and I’ll see you again soon.”
“Had the best time at Menorca with salt escapes. The farmhouse was stunning with beautiful views. Enjoyed all the workouts and yoga each day. Special shout out to our hosts and coaches Gemma, Liv and Rea who made the trip even more amazing.”
“Booked Salt Escapes Menorca as a solo traveler and loved every second of it. The group was awesome and the hosts, Olivia, Gemma and Rea were incredible. Looking forward to booking my next retreat !”
“I had such a brilliant time in Ibiza with Salt Escapes. The group was full of amazing people, and the hosts were welcoming and accommodating throughout. The workouts were challenging but really enjoyable. LJ was fantastic at checking everyone’s form, adapting exercises where needed and encouraging us to push ourselves. Nesta, our chef, created incredible fresh, high-protein meals every day—everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Lauren, our lead host, was professional, organised and approachable, which made it easy to ask questions and understand the plans and logistics. The relaxing yoga sessions with Annie were also the perfect addition to our downtime. I would highly recommend Salt Escapes, particularly to anyone considering travelling solo. The experience gave me so much confidence, and the combination of fitness, relaxation, great food and genuinely lovely people made it a very special trip.”
“This was my first Salt Escapes, and it was such a fantastic experience! Lauren, Annie, LJ and Nes were an amazing team and looked after us all incredibly well throughout the trip. All of the workouts were great fun and a brilliant way to challenge myself. The food was also amazing and I really enjoyed doing yoga each day, it was the perfect way to recover and reset after the workouts. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made it really easy to meet new people and feel part of the group. I’d highly recommend the Salt Escapes Ibiza trip to anyone looking for an experience that allows you to challenge yourself, meet some great people and come away feeling great!”
“My first Salt Escapes trip and definitely not my last!! It was an absolutely incredible week filled with challenging workouts, delicious food, and new friendships with great people. Hospitality was 10/10 - Lauren, LJ, Annie, and Nes were all so welcoming and I instantly felt at ease when arriving at the villa. It was great to be on a trip where everything was taken care of so I could truly relax and unplug from the day to day. Already ready to book my next escape!! ❤️”
“I just finished my second trip with Salt Escapes. I couldn’t recommend them enough, the villa was amazing, we were served the freshest food throughout the week, and the coaches put us through our paces every day with fun and challenging workouts. Liv, Rea and Gemma were so welcoming and when we arrived in the villa initially they helped us settle in and really set the tone of what was going to be a fantastic week. We all agreed it was so nice to have an active holiday that was organised for you, which meant you got to enjoy every day without any stress of planning. Thanks so much girls for a fantastic week and I can’t wait for my next salt escape!”
“Can’t believe this was my 4th salt escapes and it just keeps getting better and better! This has become one my favorite weeks of the year :) It is so special and covers everything you’d want in a holiday. I leave so content. Our salty crew in Ibiza was exceptional from start to finish and did not disappoint. It felt like such a relaxed, yet productive and healthy week in so many ways. I truly loved it and can’t wait for my next one.”
“Incredible team, so motivating and supportive. Amazing villa as well as food. Will 100% do another trip as it’s well worth it. Thanks guys”
“Had an incredible week at the Menorca retreat! The villa was even more stunning than the pictures, the food was delicious, and the coaches, Gemma, Rea and Liv were sensational. The daily workouts were well put together and the friendships made within the group made it that bit easier for all of us to push through and cheer each other on. The coastal hike and boat days were the perfect trips outside the villa, even though I could’ve happily stayed in the villa all week! I would definitely book onto another salt escape in a heartbeat!”
“My 3rd Salt Escapes trip! Have wanted to go to Menorca for a while and it didn’t disappoint! The villa is beautiful, with farm to table food and wonderful sunsets! Liv, Rea and Gem made the trip for me - amazing energy, challenging workouts and endless laughs!”
“Had the absolute best week in Ibiza! Workout, boat day, yoga and THE FOOD!! All around incredible. 10/10 would recommend!”
“The retreat in Ibiza was 10/10! Workouts were adjustable for your strength, the boat day was such a blast. Staff was professional and always helpful. The chef accommodated my nut allergy and I never worried once. There was no shortage of fun! Thank you, Salt Escapes!!”
“I had a wonderful week at Salt Escape Ibiza, it was one of the best trips I have ever done. Nesta the chef was amazing, every meal she made was 10/10 and she is the sweetest person. Our trainer LJ is a rock star, every session was so fun and rewarding, the playlist was always popping off!! Annie our little yoga diva was an absolute ray of sunshine, when she wasn’t taking us to the meadow she was bringing the vibes around the pool, making us all laugh and feel so relaxed! Lauren our lead host was phenomenal, she organised the best week and ensured everything ran smoothly, she is the loveliest person and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had everything they needed to have the best time. I can’t thank Lauren and the team enough for making the week what it was. I was a bit nervous as this was my first solo trip, but I couldn’t have been luckier with the group of amazing people I was with, I feel like I have made friends for life. I can’t wait to come back!! Carys x”
“Had an amazing time in Ibiza with Lauren, LJ, Annie and Nesta! The villa was amazing, incredible food and great workouts. Overall great, friendly vibes. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun fitness retreat!”
“Beautiful villa, phenomenal food, fun team workouts with variety, restorative yoga and great vibes all around! Highly recommend for a recharge!”
“My second salt escapes and it was perfect again! The team was amazing, great workouts, and a great group! So well organized and I felt so well taken care of!”
“I had the most magical experience on this trip. The host, the fitness coach, yoga teacher, and chef all made sure myself and the other women were well taken care of. I loved boat day and the hike, too, for the Ibiza trip. The food was a big highlight of the trip. Will do another!”
“Salt Escapes Ibiza was a trip I never wanted to end. From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. Super grateful for our dream team ✨Lauren, LJ, Annie and Nesta✨ who took such amazing care of our group and made the entire week so special. The vibes were immaculate, the food was amazing and the entire experience was so thoughtfully put together. What made it unforgettable was the people. Starting the week as strangers and leaving with new friendships and memories that will last long after Ibiza. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable trip.”
“Ibiza week 7 2026 Huge thank you to Lauren, Annie, LJ and Nesta for such a wonderful week and bringing the vibes (even when all the guests were hungover!). Nesta, the food was absolutely phenomenal. You are an incredibly gifted chef! LJ and Annie, the workouts were brutal but never felt better leaving a holiday and beautifully complimented with the yoga flows. Lauren, thank you for organising us all and making sure everything ran smoothly, it wouldn’t have been the same without you! This was my second salt escapes travelling solo and continues to be a fantastic holiday - I’ll be back! Thank you team salty!!”
“I just finished a week in Ibiza with Salt Escapes and can confidently say that it was one of the best trips of my life! I had never been on a group trip before and didn’t know what to expect. The accommodations, food, workouts, yoga, and overall organization was incredible. The schedule was a really nice balance of activities and relaxation time. Lauren, LJ, Annie, and Nes were our amazing hosts and did an unbelievable job in each of their respective areas. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who loves to stay active, meet new people, and enjoys new experiences. I’ll definitely be signing up for another trip ASAP 🩷❤️🤍”
“Fantastic experience! Great workouts, amazing villa, delicious food and wonderful people. Couldn’t recommend it more.”
“Salt Escapes was truly such a special experience. From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully put together, and the energy of the entire retreat was incredible. Amy and Mike were amazing coaches and genuinely wonderful people. They created such a welcoming, encouraging environment while still making every session challenging and rewarding. You could really tell how much care they put into the experience and into everyone who attended. The villa was absolutely beautiful and felt like the perfect setting to disconnect, recharge, and just be present. And the food deserves its own shoutout - having a private chef throughout the retreat was such a treat. Every meal was incredible, and it made the whole experience feel even more special. But honestly, what stood out most was the energy. There was such a great group of people, and everything felt effortless, positive, and fun. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and already wanting to come back. Couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes enough. If you’re considering going, just book it. You won’t regret it. 🤍”
“Mike and Amy have nailed it! What more can I say..! Incredible week with great, thought over workouts. Netty provided the most delicious meals throughout the week. Holly did the perfect yoga sessions, focusing on exactly what we all wanted and needed. The pre-retreat nerves disappeared as soon as I arrived, everyone was so welcoming and made you feel right at home. They even put up decorations and baked a cake for my birthday! They have definitely managed to create a retreat with the perfect balance being fitness and relaxation. The team were all so lovely, everything exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy I took that step out of my comfort zone and booked! Missing everyone already and would definitely book again!”
“Just got back from my second Salt Escapes trip in Zakynthos. It was a blast and the villa was incredible. Mike and Amy have created a fabulous experience and I can’t wait for my next trip!”
“I’ve been recently in Greece for my first Salty Escape, the experience was amazing! Amy and Mike designed a balanced plan, with great workouts, yoga sessions, healthy/tasty food; nothing was missing… The social part was also nice, as you meet new friends and share the villa and the all experience. Definitely recommended!”
“In the airport headed home from my favorite holiday to date, pinching myself over how lucky I am to have experienced the magic that is Salt Escapes. I’ve always wanted to do a fitness retreat, but pilates and yoga retreats seemed to be what was most commonly out there, and I wanted something a little more fast-paced. Salt Escapes was exactly what I had been looking for, and it’s a week I know I’ll never forget. I left feeling stronger, happier, more knowledgeable, inspired, and with so many new memories. From the euphoric feeling after finishing the ship wreck run, to ice bath dance sessions, cliff jumping on boat day, learning to cook Greek dishes with Mama Deena, rosé recaps in the infinity pool at sunset, and group workouts that proved just how far we can push ourselves. Every day felt like the perfect mix. One of my favorite parts of the retreat was how much it forces you to meet new people. You’re thrown into a week with a group of complete strangers, sharing workouts, meals, car rides, recovery sessions and a villa together, there’s no hiding in your comfort zone which I loved. There’s something really special about meeting people in an environment where everyone is there for the same reason, I genuinely didn’t expect to leave with friendships that felt so natural after just one week. The crew: You can tell that Amy & Mike put their all into finding the best people to support the retreat. Chef Netty made the most incredible, fresh and healthy meals all week long. Who knew there could be that much variety?! She even made a point of personally explaining each dish, which made every meal feel that much more special. We also had a birthday during our retreat, and she casually whipped up a homemade carrot cake with the most beautiful design for us to enjoy! I would argue there is nothing Chef Netty cannot do. Deena, or who I like to call our in-house Greek Mom, made sure we stayed laughing, in line, and making the best freddo espressos on the island. She brought so much fun and energy to the week all while making sure the villa stayed in order. Lastly, a special shoutout to Holley, our yoga instructor. She didn’t just teach yoga, she got involved in the regular workouts, connected with each of us on a personal level, and brought a great level passion to helping us connect our mind, body and breath. She was a huge component to us staying recovered throughout the week. Mike & Amy When you meet Mike & Amy, it’s really no surprise that they have crafted such an incredible company together. Their passion for Salt Escapes, and for one another, is equally special to see. It genuinely feels like they designed Salt Escapes around a “work hard, play hard” mentality, with the perfect amount of fitness and flexibility to still allow for all the other wonderful things that make up a holiday. They pushed us every single day, but also knew when to let us enjoy ourselves. They somehow even knew exactly who to put together during partner workouts so we could feed off each other’s energy. They truly pay attention to every detail, and you can feel that throughout the entire experience. I can’t imagine a future where I don’t prioritize doing a new Salt Escapes adventure every year. I came for the fitness, but I’m leaving with so much more. Thank you Mike & Amy for creating something so special. Until the next one!”
“I honestly couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes enough. From start to finish, it was such an incredible experience and one I’ll be talking about for a long time! The workouts were next level — challenging, varied and exactly what you want from a fitness retreat. There was definitely no hiding, but the atmosphere, encouragement and energy made even the toughest sessions so enjoyable! 💪🏼 A huge part of what made the retreat so special was Amy and Mike, the coaches. They were absolutely exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and supportive, while making every session fun and inclusive. They pushed us when we needed it, but also created such a positive atmosphere that everyone felt comfortable and encouraged to give their best (AKA me, on the run 😅) One of the biggest highlights was meeting such an amazing group of people from all over the world. It’s incredible how quickly you can connect when you’re all there for the same reason, and I’ve come away with some really special memories, friendships and plenty of laughs along the way. And then there was the food! Having a private chef meant every meal was genuinely exceptional. Delicious, fresh, beautifully presented and definitely not what you’d expect from “fitness retreat food”! Every meal was something to look forward to, and somehow the food just kept getting better. The villa itself was absolutely 5-star — stunning surroundings, beautiful spaces, luxurious bedrooms and the perfect setting to relax and recharge between workouts. It really felt like a little slice of paradise. Salt Escapes has absolutely nailed the balance of hard work, incredible food, luxury, sunshine, laughter and amazing people. I left feeling fitter, energised and completely recharged — and already wishing I could go back! An incredible experience from beginning to end. Thank you Salt Escapes, Amy and Mike — I genuinely cannot wait for the next one! ❤️”
“Just back from the most fabulous week in Ibiza with Salt Escapes! I booked the trip completely on a whim, just two and a half weeks beforehand, and I am so glad I did. Clem, Rach and Phoebe are incredible hosts and coaches. They are motivational, energetic and brilliant at making everyone feel welcome and included, regardless of their fitness ability. The food from Chef Cara was also fantastic. I genuinely looked forward to every mealtime…and that banana bread 🤌 I was apprehensive about travelling solo, but I could not have asked for a better group of people, now friends, to share the experience with. I have not even been home for 24 hours and I am already looking at which trip I could do next. With new destinations just added, I am sure I will not struggle to find one! Thank you again to the whole team for such an unforgettable week.”
“I was lucky enough to spend the week in Ibiza on the Salt Escapes trip. If you are looking for fun, relaxation, workouts, and great people the this trip is for you. The entire week was unreal and the workouts are so much fun. I was with some amazing people and if you have the opportunity to have the amazing coaching combo of Clementina, Phoebe, and Rachelle you are in for an amazing time. The food was also outstanding and Chef Cara had some of the most amazing dishes throughout the week unbelievable. The experience was amazing and will be recommending this to others and hopefully will be one another one soon.”
“I've just got back from my first ever fitness retreat after talking about booking one for years, my only regret is genuinely not doing it sooner. I had the BEST time. I booked with a friend because we both love fitness and tend to incorporate it into our holidays anyway so it just made sense. What I hadn't really appreciated beforehand was how much I'd love everything else that came with it too. In our day to day lives we're constantly organising everything, making decisions and thinking about what needs doing next so it was PURE BLISS to wake up each day and just be given an itinerary 😂 For once I didn't need to think about or organise anything and properly managed to switch off from life back home which is very rare for me. We met a tonne of amazing people from completely different walks of life and everyone was so welcoming. I've genuinely not belly laughed that much in a long time. Clem, Cara, Rach & Phoebe were all incredible hosts. They honestly couldn't have done more for us and (annoyingly for them) they definitely haven't seen the last of me 😂 I have a few intolerances so I was a bit anxious about how that would work but the guys couldn't have been more supportive/helpful. One thing I particularly loved was that the underlying tone of the whole trip was always "it's your holiday". Everything was planned for you but there was never any pressure to do absolutely everything. I had a cheeky lie in one morning and swapped lunchtime yoga for a run another day and both were completely embraced rather than questioned. It made the whole thing feel really relaxed rather than regimented which I loved. Sounds cheesy but I've genuinely come home with a bunch of new friends, some very funny memories and a very full heart 🥹 So many of my friends now want to do one after hearing about the trip that we're already looking at which one to book next. 100/10 would recommend. See you on the next one 🤝😂”
“Went on their Ibiza trip looking for the right balance of fun and challenging workouts, and I found 15 new friends along with it. The entire training staff did an excellent job providing the experience I was looking for.”
“I attended my first Salt Eacapes Retreat in Ibiza and loved ever second. I was a solo traveller and had the best week meeting new people, training and getting to know them. The team were amazing and the week was sonwell organised and planned. Thank you x”
“I attended the Ibiza trip and I can say it was the best decision ever. The space was epic, the hosts were a perfect balance of fun and professional. The activities were exactly what I was looking for a wellness/workout trip. And the food deserved a 15 minute standing ovation.”
“The hikes were challenging but doable and very enjoyable. Communication was clear and everyone was so warm and helpful. The food was a big highlight, healthy but delicious meals.”
“I spontaneously booked the Dolomites trip about 4 weeks before going, and I was sold on the chalet, non-touristy hiking trails, and private chef. I can honestly say they exceeded my expectations. I loved my private room and waking up to an amazing view of the mountains. Every hiking trail was unique and fun in its own way, and you could really tell how much thought went into the itinerary. Chef Bex was incredible- she went above and beyond to make all my meals and snacks lactose-free (I was fully prepared to take lactose pills, but didn’t need them once!). And on top of that, she made TWO birthday cakes to celebrate two birthdays! Mai was also such a great addition with yoga. After a full day of hiking, my body definitely appreciated every session. This was my first solo trip, and I honestly can’t believe how smoothly everything went. Huge thank you to Amy, Mike, Bex, and Mai for all the hard work behind the scenes. If you’ve ever worked in restaurants or hospitality, you know how much goes into making an experience feel effortless- and they absolutely nailed it. In my opinion, Salt Escapes is just getting started. I loved hearing that they plan to expand into more hiking and skiing trips. While they’re focused on solo travel right now, I could easily see this expanding beyond solo trips, where groups of friends and/or families block a whole week just for the location, private chef, and fully planned itinerary. The level of detail was impeccable- things you may not typically think of- like drive from house to hiking trail = 5 mins! Can’t wait to watch Salt Escapes explode! 🏔️”
“Had an amazing time with salt escapes in the Dolomites - more than met my expectations. The trip was really luxury, and everything was really well thought through. The villa was wonderful, the hikes were beautiful, amazing food every day and also fantastic evening yoga. Highly recommend.”
“2nd salt escapes trip in the Dolomites and it was excellent! Challenging but fun hikes, a great group of 12 fun and interesting people and amazing food (including an amazing packed lunch from chef Bex and an awesome mountainside restaurant with the best pasta and steak). The villa and views from the porch were amazing and the recovery yoga sessions with Mai kept us all going through the daily hikes. It was a great 5 days and I can’t wait to come back on another salt escapes trip soon!”
“Salt Escapes is not your average retreat; it is truly exceptional. I recently did the Dolomites Hike Retreat and it far surpassed my expectations on every metric: the chalet was the height of luxury with breathtaking views and brilliant facilities, the food cooked by the team’s incredible private chef, Bex, was absolutely delicious, the hikes were amazing and perfectly organised (and catered for all different levels of hiking ability; we had first time and Everest hikers on our trip), and the people I met during the week will become lifelong friends. I took a leap of faith booking my first retreat of this kind, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I will be back!”
“Another epic escape in the books! I just got home from hiking the Dolomites with Salt Escapes and it was epic in every way. From the luxury accommodations and five-star food to the physical challenge of the hikes and getting to experience it all alongside an amazing group of new friends and training buddies, I can’t say enough good things. This was my second escape (my first was Dominican Republic in March 2026) and I can't wait for the next. Amy and Mike have built something truly magical - if you're thinking of booking an escape, RUN, don't walk! You will not regret it.”
“An amazing trip! The best hosts and people, insane hikes and amazing food! The chalet was stunning ! Really well organised and would love to do again!”
“This was my first Salt Escape and won’t be my last! Booked the Dolomites trip and wow. The chalet was ultimate luxury, the food was unbelievable and I had the best time! It was very well organised, hikes were unreal - I’m so glad I booked with the group as not only did I get to make new friends but I don’t think I would have challenged myself as much as this trip did, and the views/hikes are easily my top 3 experiences and achievements! Thank you so much Amy / Mike - a trip I won’t ever forget :) can’t wait for the next!”
“10/10 experience. This was my first Salt Escapes trip and they exceeded my expectations on every level. Crew: Amy and Mike were amazing - warm, fun, and did a great job of building instant community/connection between a bunch of strangers. Mai was the best yoga instructor I have ever had. As a Canadian, I am proud Lululemon have signed her up as an ambassador. Becks was so lovely and made some of the best meals that I have ever had. Accommodations: The place was stunning. The rooms, the views, the pool, the sauna, ... couldn't have asked for a better spot. The post hike pool/sauna sessions with the views of the mountains were a highlight of the trip. Hikes: This is what I signed up for and Salt Escapes didn't disappoint. Mike and Amy did a great job finding beautiful and challenging hikes that weren't over crowded. At times it felt like we had the hills to ourselves. Only suggestion for future S.E. Dolomites trips would be to kill the lunch we had at one of the restaurants in the mountains. It just felt unnecessary to pay for an additional meal that was good but not as good as Becks cooking when we could have been back at the luxury chalet recovering in the pool/sauna.”
“My experience with Salt Escapes in the Dolomites was truly exceptional. This was their first time putting on a hiking trip, and you genuinely would never have known it. Everything was incredibly thoughtful and beautifully executed from start to finish. From the stunning property and incredible food to daily yoga, perfectly planned hikes, and all of the little details in between, the entire experience felt so intentional. One of my favorite parts was how thoughtfully the hikes were planned to avoid the crowds, which made getting to experience the Dolomites feel even more special and immersive. A huge shoutout to Amy and Mike, the founders of Salt Escapes, who led the trip and made the whole experience so memorable. They created such a fun, welcoming group dynamic while also making sure everyone felt taken care of. You could tell how much thought, care, and passion they put into every aspect of the trip. The Dolomites themselves were absolutely breathtaking, but Salt Escapes made the experience so much more than just a beautiful destination. I left feeling completely spoiled, recharged, and already wanting to book my next trip with them. If you’re considering a Salt Escapes trip, do it. You won’t regret it!”
“Dolomites was my first Salt Escapes trip. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it delivered in every way; unreal chalet, great people, unbelievable food (even on the mountain) & rewarding hikes. Will be doing another SE at some point!”
“Genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever done. I booked this as a complete beginner. I’d never hiked properly before. The hikes were brilliantly varied. Each day felt different: forest trails, alpine meadows, ridgelines, a proper summit push. They’re challenging but always achievable, with options to suit different levels, and you move as a group with plenty of stops to catch your breath and take it all in. Nobody is left behind and there’s no pressure. Amy and Mike are the heart of it. So friendly, so organised, and they make you feel completely looked after from the moment you arrive. As a solo traveller that mattered enormously. I never once felt like the odd one out, and I never had to worry about logistics because everything was handled. Mai’s daily yoga was the perfect balance to the hiking, and exactly what tired legs needed. The chalet is out of this world. Jaw-dropping views, a spa area with the pool, sauna and cold plunge that becomes the highlight of every afternoon, and beautiful spaces to relax afterwards. And the food. Having a private chef producing that quality, in that quantity, every single day, was extraordinary. you eat properly, you refuel properly, and it makes the big days possible. Everything was perfect. If you’re on the fence especially if you’re solo, or you’ve never hiked before — book it.”
“This trip has gone straight into my Top 5!! Amazing people, energy, accommodation, incredible food (“snackies” are unmatched!) and was the perfect balance of active and chill. If you want to experience the Dolomites, but with others and be an ultimate cheerleader to scale 1,000m summit with views that genuinely don’t look real…book this trip! Left with a heap of gratitude!! 🙏”
“The Salt Escape experience exceeded every expectation. The villa was top shelf, with incredible views that never got old. Huge thanks to AJ, Sophie, and Lauren for being such amazing hosts and creating an unforgettable experience. The workouts pushed me out of my comfort zone and introduced me to new routines I’m definitely taking home. Netty kept us fueled with incredible meals, and cooking with Dina was a fun surprise. And the boat day? There really aren’t words to do it justice. Grateful for the people, the challenge, the laughs, and the memories. Until next time. 🇬🇷💙”
“Fantastic as always. This was my 4th trip. The people, the workouts, the villas and the food keeps me coming back again and again.”
“What a week at Salt Escapes Zakynthos! The team were amazing, the group workouts were fun, the yoga was the perfect reset, and the food was truly next‑level. Lounging by the pool each day with that insane view was incredible, and boat day was another huge highlight. A few opportunities for improvements, but overall an excellent experience!”
“The Zante salt escapes was such a fun week. Views from the villa were amazing and the villa itself has a great pool and facilities. The chef Netty cooked some amazing food whilst the coaches and organisers AJ, Lauren and Sophie brought great workouts into the mix and their energy throughout made the whole experience super fun. Would definitely recommend”
“Just finished a week on the Zakynthos trip. This is a great way to have an active holiday and meet really wonderful people. The boat day is a highlight — the best way to see an incredibly beautiful island!”
“Workouts are challenging but fun, especially the team ones. Food is outstanding. What I’ll remember forever are the people I met and became friends with in a matter of days. The only issue is that it’s too short!”
“Couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes more! The Zakynthos trip was truly unforgettable. From the incredible staff and thoughtfully planned itinerary to the amazing food and stunning villa, every detail was perfectly executed. It was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken, and I can’t wait to travel with Salt Escapes again!”
“Just wrapped up my third Salt Escapes trip - this time in the Dolomites - and Mike, Amy, and the entire crew absolutely outdid themselves. The villa was incredible. The hikes were challenging and breathtaking. The food was on a completely different level. I thought the photos online were stunning, but nothing compares to standing at the villa and seeing the Dolomites with your own eyes. If you’re on the fence, stop overthinking it and book your spot. After three trips, Salt Escapes has delivered every single time, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Dolomites was my second escape with Salt. So much fun! The hikes they organized were epic. For the summit day they had an easy option and a hard option, I went to the top! The chalet had a pool and the most amazing view of the mountains. The food was delicious and so many fun supporting people. Looking forward to my next Salt Esacpe.”
“This was my first Salt Escape and wow it was one of the best experiences of my life! The hikes were amazing, the villa was Beautiful, Mike and Amy were such great people who made me feel welcome and cared for. I left with lifelong new friends! I will definitely be back 😊”
“I just completed my 5th trip with Salt Escapes in the Dolomites after having been with Amy, Mike and their crew to Crete (2019), Menorca (2022), Puglia (2023) and Zakynthos (2024). When the team announced a hiking trip in the Dolomites, I immediately signed up as I knew it would be an epic adventure. The location, chalet, food, hikes, yoga sessions and of course overall company were all top notch! You come as a solo traveller and leave with a ton new friends. I can't wait to join another trip in the future.”
“My second Salt Escapes trip and yet another unforgettable experience, this time trekking in the Dolomites, following the Ibiza retreat last year. Amy, Mike, Heather and Bex made us feel at home and part of the family from the get-go in the most stunning chalet and over the course of some challenging treks in the beautiful Dolomites. I went solo again this year and I yet again found fun like-minded company and very quickly settled in. The team could not have done more for us and we were so well fed thanks to Chef Bex - standout food! I don’t know who is going to feed me three incredible meals and snacks now that I’ve returned home! All I can say is that I’ll be planning a third Salt Escapes getaway some time soon again. Thanks Team Salty!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Everything was seamless—the hikes, the accommodations, the food, and the incredible hospitality. The Dolomites trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have on their bucket list. It was so hard to leave at the end, but I’m already planning my next return!”
“An awesome week in Zakynthos! The coaches, host and chef were amazing; nothing was too much trouble for the team. The villa, boat trip and ice bath were all definite highlights. Met a lovely bunch of people too. Would recommend to anyone looking for an active holiday and positive vibes! 😎”
“I had an incredible trip to the Dolomites in Italy with Salt Escapes! Amy and Mike put together a beautifully organized experience: great hike choices, thoughtful details, and food that was healthy and delicious. The chalet is unreal… you’ll leave with a hundred photos of just the view from the chalet 😄 Our yoga instructor, Heather, was also lovely and the yoga sessions were exactly what I needed. Mitch, our videographer, rocked and I can’t wait to see the videos he captured of our hikes. Can’t recommend this trip and Salt Escapes enough!”
“What really sets Salt Escapes apart is the community. Traveling solo can be intimidating, but I never felt alone. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was amazing how quickly a group of strangers became friends. Amy/Mike/Heather/Becks created such a supportive environment that made every hike fun, no matter your pace or experience. The hikes themselves were absolutely stunning, and every detail—from the accommodations to the food to the logistics (seriously the best food!!)—was taken care of so we could simply enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for an active vacation where you can explore incredible places, meet genuinely great people, and come home feeling refreshed, challenged, and inspired, Salt Escapes is worth every penny. I’ll absolutely be booking another trip. !”
“I’ve just finished my second Salt Escapes trip and had the best time. The team is great, everything is planned meticulously, the food is exceptional, and the general vibe is just so much fun. I’m already eying up another!”
“I had an amazing time with Salt Escapes. Great mix of hikes, delicious food, beautiful chalet, lovely people. 👌🏻”
“The Dolomites hike escape was amazing. The views from the hikes and the chalet are incredible. Amy and Mike did an amazing job picking hikes that weren’t overly crowded. I also can’t say enough about the food our chef was outstanding. Best part for me personally were the donkeys, cows and horses you might get to pet along the way.”
“Had such a great week with salt escapes! The people were amazing and the coaches and host were so much fun. Delicious food and a stunning villa in Zakynthos! We did some cool authentic little excursions near the villa too. Great experience!”
“Dolomites escape was a great experience. I came back home energised and craving more exercise. Hero hike sounds scarry but it’s the most pleasant reset that I enjoyed a lot! Thanks for coming up with this idea!”
“In the airport on the way home from the July 2026 retreat in Zakynthos Hosts: Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, and Netty—made the trip truly exceptional. They are phenomenal, empathetic individuals who went out of their way to ensure a great experience for everyone. I appreciated how they took the time to get to know me and my story. I also loved the small group size (fewer than 15 people including hosts), which gave the trip a close-knit feel. Salt escapee attracts people who enjoy staying active but also know how to rest. Food: Simply outstanding. As a higher-end retreat, the meals definitely delivered with clean, delicious, and high-quality ingredients. Training: workouts were appropriately challenging, and the group was highly motivated to push themselves, though everyone was free to go at their own pace. I also appreciated the flexibility in the itinerary, which allowed plenty of time for exploring between workouts and meals. Accommodations: Villa was stunning. The views speak for themselves, and the rooms have a lot of character. On this trip, I laughed until I cried, pushed myself physically, and connected with wonderful people from around the world.”
“I booked Salt Escapes Zakynthos at the last minute without really knowing what to expect. Looking back, this past week was one of the best, if not the best, solo trips I’ve ever taken. Highlights were the people and the connections I made, the well-planned workouts, an incredible boat day, amazing food, and getting to relax in a beautiful villa. A huge thank you to Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, Sophie, and Netty. You all made the experience what it was and are an incredible team. If you’re on the fence about booking a Salt Escapes trip, stop thinking about it and just do it. I couldn’t recommend it more.”
“I had an incredible week with Salt Escapes in Zakynthos. It was the perfect definition of work hard, play hard - challenging, dynamic workouts balanced with amazing food, drinks, games and plenty of opportunities to unwind. A huge thank you to Eduan for being such a fantastic host, and to coaches Abi, Rachelle and Sophie for bringing so much energy, encouragement and expertise to every session. Special mention also goes to Chef Nesta, whose food was outstanding all week. If you’re looking for a fitness retreat that’s challenging, social and brilliantly organised, I couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes more highly”
“Time flys when you’re having fun (& in a beautiful villa, doing fun workouts and having exciting experiences with the most generous and welcoming team)! Zakynthos was my first experience with Salt Escapes, I travelled solo from Australia and was immediately greeted with so much warmth from the team and members. It was the best week - all my friends back home are super jealous - definitely recommend booking!”
“An amazing week. Great people (both guests, host and coaches), great classes and so much fun!”
“The most balanced and well-rounded vacation you will ever experience in terms of physical activity, food, adventure, and social connections! The team is beyond friendly and supportive, ensuring all the guests are comfortable and having a good time while pushing them during workouts to exceed their fitness goals. If you get any combination of Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, or Sophie, you will be entertained and grateful for every second of your trip. The villa on Zakynthos island in Greece is a dream and the boat day in the Mediterranean Sea was breathtaking. Get ready to run a lot (don't worry, you can do it), sweat it out with team circuits, eat clean homemade meals, laugh really hard at all the personalities and inside jokes, and be challenged in the best ways possible. Just book it 💜”
“A truly life changing experience! I can’t wait to do another trip 🤍”
“Just landed back from Zakynthos and I’m still buzzing. Met such an amazing group of people, worked out harder than I ever have in my life, and somehow loved every minute of it. I honestly didn’t know I was capable of that much exercise in one week! 😂 The whole trip was the perfect mix of pushing yourself, switching off, eating great food and meeting brilliant people. Massive shout out to Clementina, Mai, Eduan and Ness. They’re absolute pros, but more than that, you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Their energy is infectious and they somehow manage to make everyone feel supported, encouraged and part of the group from day one. It honestly wouldn’t have been the same without them. I’m already looking at where I can squeeze another Salt Escapes trip into my calendar. If you’re thinking about booking one, stop overthinking it and just do it. You won’t regret it.”
“This was my first SALT escape and it delivered. The combination of chef prepared and locally sourced meals, uniquely designed & professional workout and yoga sessions, memorable events (shipwreck run, ice bath, dinner out, boat day on luxury yacht), world class and personable staff, and wonderful like minded and friendly / respectful guests from all over the world - made this a memorable fitness retreat! Please book - you won’t regret it.”
“Highly recommend. Incredible experience. Excellent staff. Great workouts. Phenomenal food. I will return”
“Clem, Nesta and Mai were our hosts in Zakynthos. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Really appreciate all the effort and details that go into planning all the different activities throughout the week. 100% recommended to those that want to be challenged physically but also leave some time for relaxation and amazing food.”
“I just finished my 3rd Salt Escapes and I am already looking forward to my fourth! I went to their new destination in Comporta, Portugal and it was amazing! The villa is beautiful. It is secluded in a pine forest which gives you the feeling that you are miles away from reality. Dinners with the sunset in the background were on order every night. Every villa for Salt Escapes that I have been to has its own unique character and this one was no different! The morning workouts were great! They varied in intensity throughout the week giving you a well rounded few days of training. The coaches also allowed me to adapt some movements as I have been having knee problems for the last year. There are ergs and dumbbells on this retreat so you can really get a sweat on! Pushing a car in the final workout was just the cherry on top! Then, to help stay fresh we did yoga each day to stretch and help the body recover! The food was wonderful. I have never had a bad meal on Salt Escapes! The chef did a wonderful job providing variety as well as bringing local dishes to the menu. I always leave feeling full and satisfied after every meal! The most important and best thing about Salt Escapes….the people! I have a dozen new friends, some that I found out live down the road from me! We had an amazing time together. From the sweaty team workouts, chill time at the pool, surfing, horseback riding, Celine Dion dance parties and World Cup watch parties, it was all so memorable that a week on I am still buzzing! The hosts play a BIG part in all of that. Thank you Amy, Mike, Jade and Bex for the most amazing week! I can’t wait to do it again soon!”
“In a world of influencers selling you cr*p it is truly refreshing to come across a company who not only lives up to the Instagram, but exceeds it tenfold! After all, you can’t capture human connection and this is what makes these trips so special! As soon as you arrive on a Salt Escapes trip you feel part of the incredible community that Amy and Mike have created! Everything provided to us was 12/10... from the epic workouts and yoga sessions to the luxurious villa (and lovely housekeepers) to the food (…ohh the food) and bucket list excursions – Salt Escapes nail it and everything is made to feel so so effortless! Trips like this can seem a bit like “adult school trips” but this honestly it just felt like being away with your mates… no rigid schedules, plenty of time to relax, drink margs by the pool and just move at your own pace. The investment isn't a light one, but I genuinely left feeling like it was worth every penny and I will 100% be back for more!”
“Such an amazing trip to Comporta! The villa, food and set up of workouts was great! So glad I made the decision to go for it and book and would recommend to anyone”
“Almost anyone can book a holiday in Greece with a good gym and amazing access to amenities, but very few people would be able to bring the standards up to Salt Escapes level. What truly separated the experience was the people. Zakynthos was amazing thanks to Lauren, Heather, LJ, Harry, Netty and Dina who, no matter the time of day or the activity, brought their best energy: workouts, boat day, pool time or shipwreck run. Having just-made delicious and thoughtful food after every workout was just priceless. Book it and judge for yourself :)”
“The BEST week ever with Salt Escapes! The people, the workouts and the food were incredible - I already miss it! From the moment I arrived, I felt immediately at ease, the group were so lovely and the energy was great - I now have friends all over the world. The food was phenomenal, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so well, Chef Bex nailed every single meal including a post dinner sweet treat! The workouts were so fun and varied, I love the hyrox style workouts and even found a new hyrox partner from trip. This was perfectly balanced with daily yoga session led by the wonderful Jade. The founders Mike and Amy were hosting the trip and I can honestly say they are loveliest people, they’ve created such a special and safe environment with these trips, if your on the fence, just book it, I promise you won’t regret it!!”
“First trip with Salt Escapes and I'm still basking in the glow of this incredible week. It's so rare to walk into a group of 16 strangers and feel instant, authentic connection. Incredible food (Incredible! Be prepared to have withdrawals when you leave.) Daily yoga. Challenging workouts I would have made more of if the wine-soaked dinners, chats into the night and impromptu dance parties hadn't kept me up until the wee hours of the morning. The daily itineraries struck a perfect balance of fun and leisure and sweating and ice baths and I kid you not I booked my next trip within hours of leaving. Mike and Amy have built something so rare and incredible and inspiring here. So happy to know them, to have been a part of this crew, and to be coming back for more. <3”
“Unrivalled…book it…you will not regret this decision!!! I have been to Menorca and most recently Comporta…I will be booking my next Salt Escape very soon!!!”
“Salt Escapes Zakynthos was an amazing experience! The villa was next level, the food was delicious and endless, the workouts were tough but doable, boat day was awesome and there was plenty of time to relax. My favorite part was the people. We were a group of strangers that became family by the end of the week. Big shoutout to Gemma, Rea, AJ and Daisy who made an amazing team to guide us through this adventure.”
“Second Salt Escapes retreat and another 10/10 experience. The villa was incredible. The workouts were challenging but scalable for everybody, and the food prepared by chef Robb was fantastic. Our trainer Clem and yogi Gemma were so …”
“I didn’t think it was possible for Salt Escapes to live up to the Instagram hype….but it did!! Salt Escapes was everything I imagined it could be and more. 5 star accommodations. 5 star meals. 5 star service. But at the end of the day it was the people that elevated the trip to the next level. I have new friends for life. And the staff- Sophie, Clem, Josh, Ayesha…I would follow them anywhere in the world. ❤️❤️”
“Holiday in Bali with Salt Escapes was absolutely amazing! It has to be one of the best holidays I’ve ever had! I have great expectations before the trip and it definitely exceeded my expectations — the facilities, the views from our Villa, …”
“Couldn't have imagined a better trip. The hosts were top tier people and coaches (Sophie, Liv, AJ). The like-minded people who attended I’m already planning to see again. Different from any “vacation” and exactly what I needed. Will be back.”
“I had the most amazing time in Menorca made possible by a great group of fellow travelers but most importantly by a great team of coaches led by Amy. Amazing food, great workouts and beautiful villa.”
“This trip was one of the best weeks ever for me, the villa was stunning, with delicious food, the coaches are amazing and whole the workouts were tough they do such a great job at keeping you motivated and making sure the whole group is having fun. You can really feel how much love and effort they put in to create an unforgettable experience for all the guests. I can’t wait to book my next trip!”
“There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the Salt Escapes experience…but here goes. The location, venue and property in Menorca were exquisite. Secluded, scenic, sublime. The food was of the highest quality. Freshly prepared, beautifully delivered and wonderfully tasty. The balance between fitness activity and rest/relaxation was captured seamlessly by the team with varied options and the flexibility to build your own vacation based on your individual needs throughout the week. Lastly and most importantly, these trips are defined by the team who host and entertain you for the week. These superstars are the life and soul of Salt Escapes. Amy, Liv and Sophie are charming, engaging and incredible professionals. Their energy, enthusiasm and passion for their craft is inspirational. I would have no hesitation recommending the Salt Escapes crew and I most definitely will be a repeat customer. 🫶🏻”
“Amazing. If you are apprehensive about a group holiday then don’t be. Salt escapes is perfect if you want workouts/chill / amazing location and incredible food. The coaches aren’t just coaches, they enhance the whole experience whilst you’re there! My wife and I went and recommend this to anyone looking at doing a fitness retreat! We are already looking at the next one!”
“The Menorca trip with Salt Escapes was fantastic, a perfect blend of challenging workouts, time exploring the island as a group, downtime by the pool at the beautiful villa, and social time with the most incredible meals. Amy, Liv and Sophie made the experience so seamless and fun (with spicy workouts and relaxing yoga!), and the villa staff were so wonderful too, making it feel like home away from home.”
“Incredible time with Salt - Villa and beach were sublime, activities a blast and everything ran smoothly whilst everyday accommodating the group's needs. Like-minded guests and the remarkable team (above and beyond every time!) made this week unforgettable, could not recommend more”
“Couldn’t recommend this getaway more. Everything from the location to the team to the workouts and the people was amazing. Mike and Amy are legends and have built such a unique experience for all of us to be able to enjoy! Thank you!!”
“Such a fun week with Salt Escapes in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. The workouts were intense with supportive coaches and teammates. I will miss finishing a workout then jumping directly into the ocean. The food was all so delicious and hand crafted. My favorite was grilled chicken and peanut sauce one day for lunch. The best extracurriculars were boat day and surfing (the drone got a great video of me catching a wave 🌊). My birthday happened during the trip and it was like a non-stop party starting with shots and mid-night. The villa was even bigger and better looking in person. This place had the best hot tub I’ve ever seen! I will be booking another Salt Escape soon!”
“Had an epic week in the DR with the Salt Escapes crew! From the luxe villa, invigorating outdoor workouts (challenging but adaptable for all levels), relaxing pool and beach time (complete with cocktails), and incredible food (healthy and delicious!), I can’t recommend this retreat enough. What made the week especially special was the people and welcoming, inclusive environment. I’ve already booked my next Salt Escapes and can’t wait to return!”
“This was an amazing adventure. I went on the Caribbean Salt Escapes trip. All the staff (Amy Mike both Sophies and Josh) were so friendly, happy, and helpful. The food was incredible thanks to chef Sophie! The group was super fun and the workouts made me push myself. Def recommend it!”
“Had the best week with the best group of people at the Dominican Republic!! The week was filled with high intensity workouts, yoga, amazing and nourishing meals, surfing, massages and great conversations and laughter (and 10000 burpees)! Cannot wait to book onto my next trip in 2026!!”
“Just returned from an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic with Salt Escapes! Salt Escapes is a fantastic option for solo travelers or friends who want to have an incredible wellness and fitness experience. Mike and Amy are the …”
“This was my second trip with Salt Escapes, and I may have loved it even more. The luxury of walking from a beautiful villa to a pristine beach in the Caribbean, then back up the lawn into the pool and hot tub were a total delight. Just landed back home and I am already looking forward to my 3rd Salt Escapes!”
“Just finished a very amazing week with Salt escapes in the DR. The villa was stunning, and everything was so well planned, and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Perfect balance of activity and leisure time. Loved it”
“I’ve just left and have already booked another Salt Escapes retreat!! What an amazing week in the Dominican Republic. The villa was absolutely stunning, food was cooked to perfection and the workouts were insane! Not forgetting the most amazing company, the SE team were very welcoming and ensured a seamless experience. I cannot recommend this enough, if you’re looking for a fun packed week of working out with like minded people, then get this booked ASAP! Team Salt Escapes, I’ll see you in Menorca.”
“Insane. Honestly one of the most amazing and formative experiences in my adult life. Made friends for life, got my fitness pushed to a new level and got fed the best food ever- all in the backdrop of paradise!! Was my first but will certainly not be my last. Big up mum and dad aka Amy and Mike xx”
“I had an incredible week with Salt Escapes the first time last year and I'm so glad I joined again!! I love that although each trip is unique regarding the location, (beautiful) villa, activities.... the same vibes, type of people, hospitality, and tough workouts are always guaranteed!! I had a very big surgery a few months ago, and Salt Escapes provided an amazing safe and fun space where I could finally restart my fitness journey. I highly recommend Salt Escapes and looking forward to more salty adventures in the future. You won't want the week to end, exceeds expectations for sure!!!”
“Really positive team running Salt. They know how to be hype and chill at the right moments. The whole week was a pleasure, every meal was so delicious beautiful and nutritious. Workouts were hard, but that’s how I like it. Also got to get out of my comfort zone a bit surfing, Davie the instructor was super helpful. Probably the best part is that somehow everyone else on the trip was a really great person to adventure and chill with.”
“Salt Escapes Bali was truly an incredible experience. Mike, Amy, and their team curated a fun, challenging, and relaxing week, and every detail was carefully planned. The workouts were challenging, but allowed space for different skill levels across the group. Food prepared by the private chef was gourmet, and featured local produce and ingredients at every meal. The accommodations were 5-star. Salt Escapes exceeded my expectations, and I will return.”
“Just finished a week in Bali with Salt Escapes and I cannot recommend this highly enough! It was amazing! The villa was stunning, the food was perfect and the whole experience of the workouts which always had an excellent vibe and the guys were so good at pushing us on and making them fun, followed by yoga and all the extra treats of massages etc…. It was a brilliant week. Amy and Mike and Sophie and liv are brilliant hosts. Had the best time and am definitely definitely going to book another trip with them soon.”
“Bali fitness retreat in stunning villa with sweeping ocean view, magnificently and meticulously prepared cuisine, upbeat and thoughtful fitness and yoga instructors, and great hosts. Impeccable attention to detail. Hadn’t done one of these experiences before. Came in with high expectations and they were exceeded. One of the best things I’ve done”
“Another amazing week with Salt Escapes! This was my second escape and my first in Bali. The team brought the same energy and attention to detail to tailor the experience to the destination. The workouts were simple yet challenging, and could easily be modified for different abilities. The food was fresh and delicious. The villa (and that view!!) were straight out of a magazine. Mike and Amy consider everything when planning these trips to strike the perfect balance between activity and relaxation; between adventure and luxury. They are perfect for a solo traveler because all you have to do is book and show up. Everything, including new friends, awaits at the villa. I cannot wait for my next one!”
“Had a fantastic week in Bali with Salt Escapes. The villa was incredible, the workouts were full of energy, really fun activities were planned out throughout the week and everything was made even more special having such an amazing team …”
“This trip absolutely exceeded my expectations. I left the villa in Bali already planning my next escape. Amy, Mike, Liv, Sophie, Chloe & chef Sophie made this experience unforgettable. Challenging workouts, delicious meals and so many good vibes all day, everyday!”

“I’ve been dreaming of going on this trip for four years and finally had the opportunity to do it! Expectations were high yet this week has completely exceeded it. Amy and Mike are incredible people, the community they created is so strong …”
“This was the most amazing experience. Fun, adventure, fitness, terrific food, great company.”
“The Costa Rica trip is absolutely amazing! Mike and Amy are very friendly and welcoming from the start. The workouts are challenging but fun, everyone helps encourage each other. You end the week with a whole new group of friends and that is the best part. Loved everything about the escape, can’t wait to go on my next one!”
“I went on the Costa Rica Salt Escapes (solo) had the most incredible week. Everything exceeded my expectations - the villa, the workouts, the food, the activities - 10/10 Amy and Mike were amazing throughout too. We had a great crew, I feel …”
“I just did the Costa Rica retreat with my friend and I couldn't be happier. I feel so refreshed. It was the perfect balance of fitness, relaxation and fun. Between the waterfall hike, surfing and sunset dinner, there was something …”
“Honestly one of the best holidays of my life. I had pretty high expectations having read so many of these reviews and after following the Instagram account for years but the week truly exceeded expectations. The villa was insane - the food even more insane...(I still can't get over the chocolate oats for breakfast) the workouts were tough but exactly what I wanted/signed up for! I really don't think there is anything about it that I would change. It was my first solo trip so I was a bit nervous but this is THE PERFECT solo trip - alot of people do go solo and I will be happily signing up solo again for next year's retreats! I could go on and on but really I echo everything that is said in all the other reviews. Finally, just a shout out to Amy and Mike - they really are a dream team and 100% are the reason why it's so magical - they are so warm, friendly and welcoming, they really create this wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! I can't wait for the next adventure!”
“The most incredible week in Paros - Amy and Mike are the best hosts and the best trainers. I can’t wait to go back.”
“Amy and Mike are amazing. The trip lived up to expectations. It's as good as it gets. Thank you.”
“I’m not exaggerating when I say the week I spent with Salt Escapes in Lombok was probably one of the best weeks of my life! It was the first time I’ve ever gone on a solo trip let alone half way across the world - and I can safely say I did not feel alone for one second! Everyone on the trip was so friendly and Mike & Amy are the most amazing and welcoming couple - may have gone alone but came home was 12 new friends from all around the world. The workouts were challenging for sure but makes you really realise what you body in capable of and Mike & Amy really push you to be that best version of yourself I’ve come home with the love for fitness I once had and lost for a while. Not the mention Rhi’s yoga and Pilates what amazing sessions those were! Chef Robbie’s food was sensational, so fresh and always something new! The Villa was absolutely stunning as well with such friendly staff that honestly gave you the 5 star feel in the rooms and service. This trip was everything that was promised from booking the trip and coming home from the trip Mike & Amy have been so helpful and professional - Salt Escapes truly is a once in a lifetime trip and company! So don’t even think about it book the trip and go I guarantee it’ll be one of your most memorable trips ever!”

“No exaggeration, the past week has been one of the highlights of my life! Salt Escapes have created a one of a kind experience, combining fitness with relaxing and exploring. The combination of fitness, yoga, incredible food, exploring …”
“An epic week! Hands down one of the best breaks I have ever had. Amazing times, a great group of people, intense and varied workouts, amazing daily yoga sessions with Beth, tasty food cooked by Rosie and Christian, an insane villa with unique luxury rooms, 5 mins walk from the beach with sea views, immense boat day out island hoping and beautiful evening out in a quaint Greek fishing village… can’t wait to do it again! The vibe Amy and Mike (the Founders of Salt Escapes) create is absolutely perfect, their passion and enthusiasm as well as the way they go about things is spot on for a challenging, fun and relaxing time. Lovely peeps. And absolute couples goals. The workouts ranged from HIT sessions, coast runs, boxing on the beach, sand and water sprints and even pushing cars up hills. Amy and Mike ensure everyone is getting the most from the sessions individually, whilst bringing the group together with challenges and competitions. And don’t worry about constantly taking pictures, whilst Amy is putting you through a few too many burpees, Mike is capturing the whole experience with pro-level photography and a drone footage. And nothing better than ending with a dip in the Aegean Sea, or one of the villa’s pools followed by a nap in the sun. Every expectation met and exceeded. You can see why so many people join Salt Escapes time and time again.”
“Had an incredible time with Salt Escapes in the island of Paros, Greece. The perfect balance of fitness, relaxing at the most amazing villa with ocean views and plenty of space to sunbathe by the pool, chill with new friends, eating delicious healthy food prepared every day by professional chefs and going on adventures: from runs and training at the beach, visiting the local town to a super fun boat day exploring the nearby islands, caves and cliff jumping! Amy and Mike were the best hosts ever that kept us energised the whole week with an exciting menu of daily activities. The fitness was one of the bests I have ever done with clever ideas mixing up weight training, interval training, boxing with team challenges that made the whole experience an unforgettable one. On top of that, we had daily yoga with the nicest and coolest yoga instructor Beth. There were 14 of us + the instructors and every single person contributed to this beautiful experience with good vibes, lots of laughter and teamwork! This is the type of experience, hosts and fitness retreat that you will want to repeat!”
“This is my second escape. Amazing people, instructors and food. If your thinking about booking any other fitness retreat just stop and do this one.”
“Oops I did it again…and again and again and again and again! Trip number 5 and counting with Salt Escapes and they never disappoint! Amazing people, places, food, workouts and of course boat days!! Every trip has been on another level from Greece to Sardinia all the way to Costa Rica, everything has been thought of for you, so all you have to do is turn up and have an epic time. Mike and Amy have truly created something special and I’m so glad I took the plunge to travel solo for the first time in 2020 and book my first escape! Bring on number 6 👌🏻”

“Second Salt Escapes done! Looking for a holiday adventure, with legit workouts, chef prepared healthy meals, good laughs and lots of salt… Salt Escapes Sardinia was great. Definitely a gamble as a solo female traveler, living in a villa with strangers… but Amy & Mike curate a great week of fitness and adventure… no regrets.”
