Highly Commended at the Global Spa Awards 2026

By Kathryn Brierley

We’re really pleased to share that in:spa retreats has been highly commended in the category of ‘Best Wellness Retreat in Europe’ at the Global Spa Awards 2026.

Earlier this year, we were nominated for the award, which in itself felt meaningful. To then be recognised in this way is something we’re incredibly proud of. Thank you so much to everyone that voted for us.

Why this matters to us

in:spa has always been about doing things properly.

Not just putting together a retreat, but building something that works as a whole — the people, the setting, the structure of the week, and how it all comes together.

We’ve been doing this for over two decades. Over that time, we’ve learned what makes a real difference: how a week should flow, how to balance training with recovery, and how to create an environment where people feel comfortable from the start.

That experience sits behind every retreat we run.

What sits behind an in:spa retreat

Each retreat is carefully structured, with a clear programme in place across the week.

That structure brings together training, yoga, treatments and nutrition in a way that’s been developed and refined over many years, so everything works as a whole rather than as separate elements.

The programme is there to be followed, but without pressure. Most guests naturally take part in the full week as it’s designed, while knowing they can step back from anything if they choose.

What underpins it all is consistency. The same experienced team, a well-established format, and a way of delivering each element that works, not just individually, but across the week as a whole.

The people behind it

This recognition belongs to the team.

The trainers, yoga teachers, nutritionists, therapists and chefs who deliver each retreat with a level of care and attention that doesn’t go unnoticed.

It’s also a reflection of the people who join us — many returning more than once — and the atmosphere that builds over the course of a week.

Looking ahead

We’ll keep doing what we’ve always done, delivering what we truly believe are the very best luxury wellness retreats in Europe!

If you’re considering joining us, we’d be very happy to talk you through the different retreats and help you find the right one.
