This is Salt Escapes

Proper workouts, epic adventures and your kind of people.

We put a small group somewhere beautiful, coach them properly and feed them nourishing, flavour-packed food. Salt Escapes is more than just a fitness retreat. It's a week of movement, adventure and connection in some of the most epic locations around the world. We’ve explored Ibiza, Greece, Menorca, Costa Rica, Cape Town and the Dolomites alongside our fitness crews. Now we’re bringing it to Australia.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

What they said

Ask a Salt Escapes guest what stuck and it’s always the same answers: the sessions that changed how they train, the friends they didn’t expect to make and the food. Always the food.

“The best week of my life! I don’t even know where to start with my review. Hands down the best investment I have ever made. I truly believe that what you get with Salt Escapes is unique. I have been on other group exercise holidays before and met amazing people, but this was something else.”

“If you love a challenging workout, beautiful meals, gorgeous views and laughing until it hurts — give yourself the gift of a Salt Escape! Mike and Amy truly think and take care of everything from the moment you arrive until departure day. I don’t know how I’ll ever vacation any other way again!”

“I didn’t think it was possible for Salt Escapes to live up to the Instagram hype… but it did! 5 star accommodations. 5 star meals. 5 star service. But it was the people that elevated the trip to the next level. I have new friends for life.”

“Genuinely one of the best weeks of my life. The combination of morning workouts, incredible food and adventures in the afternoon is just perfect. I came home feeling completely reset.”

“I was nervous about going solo but everyone was so welcoming. The instructors are world-class and the villa is stunning. Already booked my second trip.”

“Salt Escapes strikes the perfect balance between challenge and relaxation. The group energy is electric and the hosts think of absolutely everything. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough.”

“The food alone is worth the price. Every meal is fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Pair that with sunrise yoga on the terrace and you have something truly special.”

“Came for the fitness, stayed for the community. I made genuine friends for life on this trip. The Salt Escapes team clearly put their hearts into every detail.”

The Australia Escape

The Australia the postcards miss.

An hour inland from the Gold Coast, the beaches give way to rolling meadows and native forest. Your home for the week is an eight-bedroom homestead in the hinterland hills: bungalow palms shading a twenty-metre pool, grapes still growing in the old vineyard rows, a sauna, cold plunge, pickle-ball court and wood-fired pizza oven on site...

Before you ask

Good to know

Do I need to be fit?

If you work out 2–3 times a week, you’ll be absolutely fine. Everything is scalable and our coaches are brilliant at adapting.

Can I come on my own?

Yes! And you'll be in good company. 85% of our guests turn up solo, all of them leave with new mates.

Is it a bootcamp?

No. The sessions are challenging, but you'll feast on private-chef-cooked meals and have plenty of time to chill by the pool with new friends. We're not about restrictions at Salt Escapes.

What's included?

4 nights accommodation in a luxury homestead, private chef cooked meals and snacks, daily workouts with expert coaches, daily yoga and breathwork sessions, daily sauna and cold plunge sessions.
