Why this course?
RETREAT IN LUXURY...
Our Luxury Fitness & Wellness Retreats are dedicated to encourage a healthy lifestyle. The week is designed around a variety of conventional fitness activities/classes but also incorporates activities which allow the guests to absorb the local culture and attractions. This isn't your standard three fitness classes a day type retreat, there is just as much focus on wellness and adventure as there is on fitness, whilst living in a luxury boutique villa.
This retreat is perfect for somebody that wants to do something different but keep active. One small example is that every guest will be given their own bicycle for the week, nobody is tied to the guest house, everybody is encouraged to go out and explore whenever they like. The accommodation and base for the retreat is modern, luxorious and is full of style. It is set in the just a few meters from the incredible sandy Tigaki Beach on the incredible Island of Kos You will share a villa with the other guests, maybe you will opt for the luxury master suite with your own ensuite, or a bedroom which shares a bathroom with only one other room. Each villa has it's own swimming pool with sunloungers. And the complex is home to a modern outdoor gym, an outdoor cinema and a communal bar where all meals will be served. a Whether you’re a solo traveller or travelling with friends or a partner, you will definitely feel a million dollars here.

Day 3 | An early start on Day 3 if you wish - We are going for a guided bike ride to the Thermal springs of Kos. The bike ride in total is approximately 30km, however we are going to take a break half way and take the opportunity to soak up the healing properties the natural spring is said to give. The route itself, will take you through some quaint villages including Platani which is known to be the Turkish settlement on the island.
After returning to the Villas, there will be sometime for you to relax and then there will be an evening of fitness classes if you wish to take part. There will be a sunset pilates/yoga class taking place which after a morning of cycle will be an amazing way to finish the day. |
Day 4 | Are you an early riser? If you are liking the early mornings, you will love Day 4’s Sunrise Pilates/yoga class… what an amazing way to start the day.
The day will then have a selection of fitness classes available and meals together. There is also an opportunity to go and do some local exploring on your bike if you wish - Ask Gilly or Louise (the Villa Manager) for some ideas. |
Day 5 | Another early start if you wish - we want to start the hike up Mount Dikeos before it gets too hot. So Breakfast is highly recommended and then you will jump in the organised transport to the mountain Village of Zia. from the there we will begin our hike up to the highest point of the island to experience the incredible views. The hike is a moderate level, for those trail runners, it is possible to run and signposted reasonably well. When in Zia, you will have time to enjoy the village, go shopping, go for a coffee, maybe visit the nature park, see what takes your fancy.
After leaving Zia, you will return back to the Asklipion Valley Guest House, during the evening there will be a selection of fitness classes available. |
Day 6 | It’s not so early today, start the day with a fitness class and then time to get on the way to your chosen activity. At the beginning of the week you will have booked with Gilly the activity, this could be Horse Riding, you could have chosen to Horse Ride at sunset which means the rest of the day is yours. You may want to learn something new, a windsurfing lesson is available, or if you are a seasoned windsurfer, we can arrange the rental of the equipment, Kos is famous of windsurfing. You may feel you have done too much exercise and a bit of pampering is in order, that's where the traditional Artemis Hamam comes in. The Hamam has many packages available that you can choose from, you could spend an hour there or you could spend all day there. Or you may find that these activities are for you and you want to have a lazy day, we will direct you to the local beaches. |
Day 7 | Last day of activities, so we will start the day off right with sunrise Pilates or Yoga and then throughout the day there will be a selection of fitness classes. However the classes will finish early as we will head to Kos town early evening to sample the local cuisine in the harbour. This is also a great opportunity to get those last minute gifts to take home. |
Day 8 | Departure day, it’s time to say farewell. We will say goodbye and you will hop on your transfer to the airport. We will be sad to see you go but hopefully you will enjoy the retreat so much you will return. |
