Your Itinerary

 

DAY 01
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 villa, your retreat for the next seven days.

You might want to take the afternoon off to enjoy the sun at the private beachfront before loosening up your body with our Helios experts. The choice is yours.

Later in the day, get ready for a delicious meal, especially designed for our retreat. Meet and join the company of your fellow retreaters, drop in and ease yourselves into the retreat experience.

DAY 02
Christ Redeemer

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

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

Visit one of the wonders of the world, the famous Christ Redeemer. We get back to the villa for a sunset yoga overlooking the exceptionally beautiful ocean and catching up on some much-needed rays of sun.

DAY 03
Favela tour, Capoeira show & free evening

You’ll start the day with a run to the famous beaches of Rio and a strong workout before a well-deserved breakfast with organic fruits and all the perks before heading to the beach.

Later, we take you on a favela tour 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. Enjoy a free evening to explore Rio’s famous nightlife. Samba class anyone?

DAY 04
Pedra da Gavea hike

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 05
Unforgettable day: helicopter ride & Sugar Loaf

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 dinner back in the villa.

DAY 06
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 07
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.

Double rooms; Double rooms offer the best choice to stay with a partner or best friend. Most retreats have separated beds. If the room description says SHARING you’re booking a double room with separated beds, however if the room description says SHARING W/ FRIEND the beds for this option are often King or Queen sized beds and can only be booked if you’re joining us as two (friend or partner). As all prices are per person, you have the option to book a room and share with another retreater, or go all in and book your own suite.

Single rooms; The entire room all to yourself. Perfect if you value a little extra privacy.
