Itinerary

Day 1

OI RIO!

Welcome to Brazil. Your first stop will be at Galeao Airport, where a private transfer will greet you upon arrival and whisk you off to the retreat, your home for the next seven days.

You might want to take the afternoon off to go to the beach and enjoy the sun at your doorsteps before meeting and joining the company of your fellow retreaters and a lovely welcome dinner. Drop in and ease yourselves into the retreat experience.

Day 2

CRISTO REDENTOR TOUR

Time to wake up early for a workout and gaze at the sheer beauty of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountain cliffs surrounding us.

We’ll follow with a nourishing breakfast and relax before taking a tour to the Christ Redeemer.

Visit one of the wonders of the world, the famous Christ Redeemer. We return to the retreat for a run along the beach, soaking up some much-needed rays of sun before dinner at Lapa, a traditional neighbourhood in Rio.

Day 3

FAVELA TOUR AND FREE EVENING

You’ll start the day with a workout on the beach, followed by a well-deserved breakfast featuring organic fruits and all the treats, before relaxing by the pool.

We take you on a favela tour in the afternoon, led by a local who was born and raised in these culturally rich communities. Watch and get involved as locals perform Capoeira – a traditional form of martial art & dance movement.

The evening is yours to explore Rio’s famous nightlife. Samba class, anyone?

Day 4

HIKE TO PEDRA DA GAVEA

The transformation continues as you shed the layers of stress and step into the strongest versions of yourselves with yoga and fitness workouts.

We’ll embark on an early morning hike to the Pedra da Gavea for stunning views at the top.

We’ll take a private transfer in the evening to the iconic Lapa neighbourhood for a bit of samba and traditional food.

Day 5

HELICOPTER RIDE OF DREAMS & VISIT TO THE SUGAR LOAF MOUNTAIN

The key to this retreat is exploration. You’ll begin the day with our awesome trainers pushing your fitness boundaries through intense but totally scalable workouts.

The adventure continues as we take on a helicopter ride of dreams, cruising past the beautiful coast all the way to Christ and back. It’s truly an unforgettable ride!

Wrap up the day with a visit to the iconic Sugar Loaf and a traditional dinner.

Day 6

Beach day at Leblon

Our final and glorious day is spent at the most famous beach in the world. Work out in the morning, then soak up the rays and top up your tan at the iconic Posto 9 beach in Leblon.

This is Rio, ticked off the list, friends in true Carioca style.

Wrap up the day with dinner at a Brazilian churrascaria and celebrate your final evening with your new friends.

Day 7

TCHAU, BRASIL!

One last workout is in the cards, before breakfast, before we head to our final stop, the airport.

If you’re planning to carry on your adventure in Brazil, our team will be at hand to help.

Leave this beautiful piece of the world, fitter, with a heart full of joy and forever new friendships.

Where you'll be staying

We hand-pick extraordinary hotels and dreamy villas, creating the perfect backdrop for a week of fitness, adventure, and pure relaxation. Always stylish, always comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code

Fly into and out of Galeão International Airport (GIG).

What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?

At 4 pm, the retreat officially begins.

You will meet your Helios Team and the other guests for a meet and greet and quick walk on the beach before our welcome dinner at 7 pm.

We recommend arriving no later than 4 pm.

Are airport transfers included?

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure before 2 pm, when our private shuttle will depart the airport (CIG), your airport arrival transfer will be included.

Arrival transfers are private to Helios, and the driver will wait for you and the other participants arriving at a similar time with a HELIOS sign at the airport arrivals.

Depending on flight times or delays, you may have to wait for the other retreaters at the airport for a short while.

Please also note that to secure your place on the private transfer, you’ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 10 days before your adventure’s departure date.

You’ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won’t be chasing you. That’s why it’s crucial to receive this information in good time. If the details are provided later than 10 days before departure, you may need to arrange your transportation from the airport.

This retreat includes a scheduled departure transfer from the Hotel to the airport. To use this service, please book a flight that departs after 2 pm on your last day.

If your flight departs earlier than 2 pm, you will need to arrange and pay for a private transfer (approximately 50 euros). Your Helios Host can arrange this for you, and you may be able to share the cost if others are in the same situation. Similarly, if you extend your stay in Rio, a departure transfer will not be included.

If you extend your stay in Brazil, you can take the shared transfers to the airport on the last day of the tour and continue independently to your hotel from there.

What time should my flight depart on the last day?

On your final day, you’ll have an early session and breakfast before saying goodbye (more like a see you later!) to your fellow travellers and the Helios team.

The transfer departs at 11 am for the airport. If you have transfers included in your package, you must be ready to leave at 11 am and sort out any extras in your room, etc.

If you plan to stay a little longer, or your flight is booked for later in the day, you're welcome to stay and enjoy the pool until it's time to leave, but be mindful that the rooms might need to be vacant for changeover.

The journey to the airport takes approximately 50 minutes, depending on traffic conditions, and you should arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight departs.

What fitness levels do I need for this trip?

We recommend reading through the itinerary above and getting in touch if you have specific questions about fitness.

This is a fairly active trip with hilly terrain and a Hybrid type of training, but fully scalable to everyone's skill level.

Our coaches will asses the fitness levels of each guests on the first day and adapt the training accordingly.

Will the itinerary or trainers advertised on the trip change?

These changes can occur with little notice due to factors beyond our control, such as coach availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other unforeseen circumstances. However, we’ll always do our best to minimise their impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make adjustments to your itinerary to explore new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.
