Reformer Retreats Featured In Elite Traveler
We are delighted to be featured in The Biggest Wellness Travel Trends Set to Shape 2026, Elite Traveler’s new piece exploring the shifts shaping the future of wellness travel. For Reformer Retreats, this is a proud moment. Elite Traveler is a publication closely associated with luxury, quality and exceptional travel experiences, so to be recognised within its editorial coverage is especially meaningful as more travellers look for retreats that combine movement, restoration and thoughtful design.
“In 2026, wellness travel is no longer about switching off. It’s about tuning in – to the body, the nervous system, and the life we want to return to.” That line from Georgia Brown’s feature sets the tone for the article and for the direction of travel more broadly. Rather than framing wellness as pure escape, the piece looks at experiences that feel restorative, intelligent and genuinely useful long after the trip is over. That is exactly why Reformer Retreats feels at home in this kind of feature, as the article speaks to travellers who want more than rest alone.
What we have always wanted to create is a retreat that feels both refined and grounding, where excellent Pilates teaching sits naturally alongside beautiful surroundings, nourishing food and time to slow down properly. There is a clear appetite now for movement-led retreats that offer structure as well as calm, and that is something we have seen reflected in our guests from the beginning. As owner Sophie Hatton says, “Pilates retreats are becoming the new yoga retreat”. For Reformer Retreats, that growing interest is not about novelty. It is about giving people an experience that helps them feel stronger, steadier and more connected to themselves.
This kind of recognition reflects a wider shift in what people want from wellness travel: more depth, more intention and experiences that stay with them after they return home. That is exactly the space Reformer Retreats will continue to explore through carefully designed retreats shaped by movement, calm and beautiful surroundings.
