Reformer Retreats Featured In Suitcase Online

We are delighted to be featured in Suitcase Online’s article, These Are Wellness Trends Defining Travel in 2026. As a publication known for thoughtful travel journalism and a strong editorial eye, Suitcase Online is a title we are very pleased to be mentioned in. For Reformer Retreats, this kind of recognition feels especially rewarding because it places us within a wider conversation about how wellness travel is changing, and why guests are increasingly drawn to experiences that feel considered, restorative and beautifully put together.

Julie Alpine’s piece looks at the trends set to shape travel in 2026, and one of the clearest shifts it identifies is the move towards reformer Pilates retreats. The article explains why this category is gaining such momentum, pointing to the quality of the surroundings, the structure of the experience and the growing appeal of movement-led escapes. As it puts it, “Design-led settings, elevated equipment and expert instruction are central to this trend’s appeal, alongside thoughtful nutrition and curated schedules designed to remove decision fatigue. Reformer Retreats in the UK and Europe are at the vanguard, helping to reframe the modern wellness escape.” To see Reformer Retreats described in those terms is a real honour for us.

That wider shift is something we have been seeing for some time through our own guests and retreats. Reformer Retreats is built around the idea that people want more than a break away. They want expert guidance, beautiful surroundings and a sense of purpose to the time they are carving out for themselves. Sophie Hatton, founder of Reformer Retreats, captures that change perfectly in the article: “Yoga remains a staple, but Pilates retreats are emerging as the new hero category, reflecting a cultural shift towards strength, alignment and functional movement.” That is exactly what we aim to offer, with retreats that feel grounded, welcoming and genuinely beneficial long after guests return home. 

This mention in Suitcase Online feels like a strong reflection of how the conversation around wellness travel is evolving, and of the place Reformer Retreats is carving out within it. We are excited to keep building experiences that bring together beautiful settings, expert Pilates and time away that feels genuinely worthwhile. To see more of what we offer, visit Reformer Retreats.
