SheerLuxe has included Reformer Retreats in its Gold Hot List, bringing welcome attention to the brand’s distinctive approach to luxury wellness travel. The feature focuses on the Catalonia retreat at La Cura, presenting it as an uplifting escape that pairs Classical Pilates with breathwork, coastal walks and peaceful time to recharge in a beautiful setting.

The mention is a strong reflection of what Reformer Retreats aims to offer through every stay. Rather than simply filling an itinerary, each retreat is designed to help guests feel restored, energised and more in tune with themselves through expert teaching, calm surroundings and a considered sense of balance.

Reformer Retreats has been featured in Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, a respected title known for covering premium travel, dining, interiors and exclusive experiences. The article by Nick Gibbens highlights the brand’s luxurious Pilates retreats, shaped by movement, design and mindful living, while also exploring different Pilates methods and their benefits.

For owner Sophie Hatton, the feature reflects the full spirit of Reformer Retreats: intelligent Classical Pilates combined with beautiful surroundings, quiet moments and space to reset. The recognition marks an exciting milestone as the brand continues to grow thoughtfully while staying true to its carefully crafted retreat experience for future guests.
