It's all about balance

Our fitness retreats aren't boot camps and they aren't lazy holidays. They're the best of both, and the people you share it with make it.

“Train hard, recover well, have the best time, and be part of a team that has your back.”

01

Train Hard

Varied, energising sessions run by our professional AE Team, built for every fitness level and age. Push yourself, try something new and feel stronger by the end of the week.

02

Recover Well

Recovery is part of the program, not an afterthought. Stretch, reset and refuel with freshly cooked meals so you finish the week feeling better than when you arrived.

03

Have the Best Time

Beach parties, laughter and adventures like surfing, zip lining and wakeboarding. Every activity is optional, so you make the week exactly what you want it to be.

04

Be Part of the Team

This is the big one. Come with friends or come solo (plenty of people do). Either way you'll arrive as a guest and leave as part of a crew that cheers you on, long after the week is over.

The Original Fitness Retreat

Still the best, still growing

Active Escapes has been running fitness retreats for 15 years, starting in Bali, which is still our most loved destination with full time staff on the ground. Today we take guests to Bali, Lombok, Byron Bay, Noosa, the Maldives, Thailand, Mexico, South Africa and beyond.

Every Escape is all inclusive with luxury accommodation and freshly cooked meals, so the only extra you'll need to think about is drinks.

New · AE Adventure

Same crew. A whole new kind of trip.

AE Adventure is our new line of outdoor trips for people who want their group holiday on the mountain, the trail or the water. You still get the Active Escapes team, the welcome and the crew spirit, just built around adventure instead of training.

ℹ

Please note: AE Adventure trips are not fitness retreats. There are no fitness sessions or workout program. Your days are spent skiing, snowboarding and exploring, with plenty of time to relax with the crew.
