Aloe Retreats was born from the belief that our wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet are inseparable. In everything we do, we strive to inspire a conscious lifestyle, where we take care of and learn from nature and the communities around us.
We create immersive retreats where you can step out of the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself, with others and with the ecosystem around you.
Through movement, breath and our senses, we connect body and mind to live in the present moment.
We choose regenerative agriculture and partner with local organic farms or those who host us on their land, so every meal is local, seasonal and grown with care for the soil. Guided by the principles of Ayurveda and inspired by Mediterranean roots, our menus are designed to balance and nourish body and mind.
And at the heart of it all, is the community that comes alive every time: in just a few days strangers form bonds that are strong, meaningful and often transformative.
Sixteen years of traveling, studying and working around the world, and half a year in India led me to deepen my practice in Yoga, Ayurveda, Kalari and therapeutic yoga for children with special needs. With a background in human rights and environmental justice, I create retreats to bring people together in nature: to move, eat healthy and reconnect. For every retreat I partner with amazing beings: facilitators, artists, chefs and farmers, so each gathering is unique and carries its own magic.
Everything we do is grounded in care; for the land that hosts us and the communities we are part of.
We see ourselves as part of the ecosystem, not apart from it, and let the intelligence of nature guide our choices
From sourcing to waste, we make the low-impact choice, constantly learning how to do better with less.
We source from farms km0 that give back to the land, rebuilding soil, biodiversity and the ecosystems that sustain us.
We are guests of the land and its people. We support partners who inspire us, share our values and preserve the planet.
Days of exploration in nature and cultures, yoga and meditation and nourishing healthy food.
A reset for body and mind for those who like to travel off the beaten path.

The best retreat experience I had, made friends for the rest of life.
Biki and the team organised everything perfectly from the kitchen and vegetarian menu to yoga on the beach. Days where we shared openly, without judgement, and strengthened one another.
It wasn't just about yoga; it was good food, enlightening conversations and a real relief from daily stress. I loved how energised and strong I felt afterwards.
A place to truly be myself and let go. Yoga, Ayurveda, cacao, dancing and amazing food: moments I still love to think about. I'll definitely join again!
My first retreat, after a difficult time. Afterwards I felt re-energised, rested and connected with others and with myself again. I'd love to join another. Namasté.
An amazing experience that exceeded my expectations: a stunning location and so many activities beyond yoga. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making the whole retreat vibrant and enriching. A memorable experience that has really stayed with me.
