The Best Private Trips to Book for a Relaxing Retreat
Content Editor
The only thing more relaxing than an international retreat is a retreat shared with only the people you love most. Gather the gang together for a detox and book one of these soul-soothing getaways as a private Culture Trip.
There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, so you can enjoy memory-making travel experiences with only the ones you love most. It also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Greek Island Odyssey
There’s something inherently relaxing about Southern Europe, and nowhere better represents the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle than a pretty little Greek island. Our eight-day extravaganza in Greece is designed to show you a lot, but with lots of free time and a relaxed itinerary that allows for flexibility. The tour starts in Athens, where you’ll have a guided tour of the Acropolis and of the trendy Keramikos neighbourhood. Then our island-hopping adventure begins, first with beach time and a boat cruise on Milos, famed for its charming fishing villages and striking cave systems. Naxos is next, where you’ll travel inland for an incredible foodie experience, as you’re taught how to rustle up classic Greek dishes using fresh, local Naxian ingredients. Our final destination? It could only be Santorini, with its glorious whitewashed buildings and unmistakable blue-domed churches. If your taste of the Greek life hasn’t already soothed you, then the Santorini sunset surely will.

Blissful Bali
This island paradise has become a haven for spiritual travellers, and we can’t blame them. You can pretty much tailor your Bali experience to fit any travel style, but our 12-day itinerary blends a hint of tropical adventure with lots of relaxation and a few culturally unique experiences. We’ll start with immersion, as we learn to make traditional offerings to place in a sacred temple and hike through rice paddies and rural villages. You’ll picnic beside a waterfall and climb Mount Batur at sunrise, before the relaxation really kicks in on our detour to the tiny island of Gili Trawangan. Our stunning beach resort will keep you well rested, from the cosy bedrooms to the gorgeous infinity pool and the onsite spa. If that’s not enough, we’ll be surrounded by some of the finest beaches in Indonesia – what more could you want?
