Reformer Pilates Holidays: A Luxurious Way to Reset, Move and Restore

In a world that often moves too fast, there is something quietly powerful about slowing down — about stepping away from routine and reconnecting with your body and breath in a truly intentional way. For many women, this desire has led to the rise in popularity of Reformer Pilates holidays, luxury retreats that offer so much more than just exercise.

At Reformer Retreats, we specialise in creating beautifully curated Reformer Pilates holidays that combine intelligent movement with calm, comfort and restorative wellness. Our retreats are thoughtfully designed for women who value quality, authenticity and depth — offering not just rest, but meaningful reconnection. Whether you're craving stillness, seeking to deepen your practice, or simply ready to prioritise yourself again, a Reformer Pilates retreat could be exactly the space you’ve been searching for.

 

Why Choose a Reformer Pilates Holiday?

While many are familiar with mat-based Pilates, Reformer Pilates takes the practice to an entirely new level. Using the spring-based Reformer apparatus, the method builds strength, alignment and control with precision. Every movement becomes an opportunity to connect more deeply with your body and breath. When paired with the right teaching, it becomes a powerful and transformative practice.

A Reformer Pilates holiday allows you to immerse yourself in this method in a way that regular weekly classes simply can’t. With daily Reformer sessions, consistent mat work and time for reflection, progress happens quickly — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

But our retreats go beyond the studio. They are designed to be restorative in every sense — with nourishing food, holistic treatments and time to truly slow down. It’s a full-body, full-mind reset.

 

Who Comes on Our Reformer Pilates Holidays?

Our guests are thoughtful, intelligent women who lead full lives. They are professionals, creatives, mothers, business owners — women who give a lot and are ready to reclaim some space for themselves.

Many arrive solo, looking for a few days to reset in peace, while others come with a sister, friend or partner. What they all have in common is a shared appreciation for quality, calm and care. They’re not looking for boot camps or fast fitness — they want considered movement, beautiful surroundings and wellness that’s rooted in integrity.

They come for space. For silence. For connection. And to return home feeling lighter, stronger and more grounded.

 

What’s Included in a Reformer Pilates Retreat?

Each of our Reformer Pilates holidays includes four nights and five days in a private, design-led space — often surrounded by nature, always carefully chosen for its architecture and atmosphere. Our 2026 retreats take place in northern Spain and the Lake District, with more to be announced for 2027.

A typical retreat includes:

•                   Four Reformer duet sessions with a highly experienced Classical teacher

•                   Daily Classical mat Pilates designed to complement the Reformer work

•                   Guided breathwork and Yoga Nidra, to support deep nervous system rest

•                   Seasonal, plant-based fine dining prepared by a private chef

•                   Optional holistic treatments from skilled therapists

•                   Time for you - walking, journaling, reading, or simply doing nothing

Everything is optional. You’re encouraged to take what you need. No pressure, no over-scheduling — just a quiet rhythm and plenty of space.

 

The Difference Between a Retreat and a Holiday

We often hear from guests: “This was exactly what I needed — I didn’t realise how much I needed it.”

That’s the power of a well-designed Reformer Pilates holiday. It’s not just a break. It’s a return to yourself.

Unlike traditional holidays, which can often feel rushed, busy, or even exhausting, a retreat creates space for rest and reconnection. It brings you back into rhythm with your body, your breath and the way you truly want to feel. You’re not squeezing wellness in around everything else. Here, it’s the centrepiece.

It’s a luxury, yes — but one that’s grounded in care, not indulgence.

 

Why Reformer Retreats?

Founded in 2021, Reformer Retreats is the most established Reformer retreat provider in the UK. Our founder, Sophie Hatton, brings over three decades of experience in the worlds of design, travel and Classical Pilates — and that background informs everything we do.

We choose locations with architectural beauty and natural serenity. We work with only the most experienced Classical teachers. We prioritise rest, nourishment and elegance in every detail — from movement to menus.

We don’t do trends. We do timeless.

And above all, we hold space for women to reconnect — with themselves, with their breath, with the joy of moving well again.

 

Where Are Your Reformer Pilates Holidays Held?

In 2026, we’ll be hosting three standout retreats:

1. Spain – April and September 2026

We’re in Catalonia, close to the wild beauty of the Costa Brava.
A sun-drenched escape framed by cypress trees and terracotta tones.
Think rolling hills, quiet courtyards and long, plant-based lunches beneath the Catalan sun. Light, stillness and space to move, breathe and simply be.

2. Lake District – January 2026

A retreat designed to mark a new beginning. Quiet luxury in a beautifully restored house surrounded by nature. Fires, stillness and a deep return to yourself through breath, movement and rest.

In 2027, we’ll expand into new European destinations while returning to guest favourites. Early registration will open soon.

 

Is a Reformer Pilates Holiday Right for Me?

If you’ve been feeling overextended, disconnected from your body, or simply curious to explore your Pilates practice more deeply, this is your space.

Our retreats are open to all levels, though we focus on Classical Pilates and attract those with an appreciation for technique and refinement. You don’t need to be advanced, just open to slowing down and tuning in.

We keep our groups small and personal, so you’ll be supported throughout, whatever your level or intention.

 

Planning Ahead: Pilates Retreats for 2026 and 2027

Now is the perfect time to start planning your Reformer Pilates holiday for 2026 or 2027. Our retreats are intentionally intimate and places book quickly, often months in advance.

Whether you choose the quiet of the Lake District, the sun-soaked calm of Spain, or a future retreat in Italy or France, you’ll experience a level of care, depth and calm that stays with you long after you leave.
