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?

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.

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.

Wrap up the day with a visit to the iconic Sugar Loaf and dinner back in the villa.
