The British Virgin Islands (or the BVI's as they're also known) are a chain of small islands in the Caribbean, about half-way between Turks and Caicos and Saint Lucia.


The islands are teeming with culture and are full of old settlements, lobster shacks and rum bars. The beaches are powder white and coral reefs abound. Well known for it’s sailing, wildlife and laid-back vibes, we’ll be perfectly set to soak up a week of salt, relaxation and adventure. 


On this 7 night Escape, you'll be on your own luxury private catamaran with 6-7 other like-minded guests, and your own private chef and skipper. Your chef will cook up colourful, nutritious meals each day and your skipper will get you from A to B, whilst all you need to worry about is making memories with new friends and experiencing the Caribbean in all its sunny, tropical glory. 


Our Salt team will lead daily morning workouts on shore (HIIT, resistance, boxing), sunset yoga and mobility sessions, and you can enjoy activities such as snorkelling, wind-surfing, paddle-boarding, and volleyball to your hearts content.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Can I come on this Escape by myself?

Yes!

Travelling alone is surely one of the best ways to meet new people.

To book a cabin for Solo Occupancy please reach out to the Customer Service team at Yachts & Friends (who are managing all the bookings) by emailing info@yachtandfriends.com.

What is the age range of guests?

The majority of our guests are aged between 25 and 40 but we welcome everyone over 20 on this trip.

Will I get any ‘free' time?

Absolutely! We will always schedule down time in our daily itinerary for you to chill on your yacht, head to the beach or explore the local area. Remember it’s your trip, and you’re very welcome to head off for a day exploring by yourself. If you’d like any recommendations or suggestions, just ask one of the team.

I have special dietary requirements - will you be able to cater for this?

Yes. After booking, we liaise with all the guests and help our chefs to design a menu that has plenty of options for all.

What is the food like?

We expect you to be training hard in the workouts, so we’ll make sure you have plenty of food to refuel! We’re all about a balanced approach to food so expect tables full of fresh, nutritious meals that we’ll enjoy together (plus the odd treat). Our Chefs like to use fresh, local produce, and where possible, give you a taste of the local cuisine. We can cater to all dietary requirements so just make sure we’re clued up before your trip.

What level of fitness do I need to be at? Do I need to be super fit to come?

We always accommodate a variety of fitness levels, and there will be lots of down time for you to relax and recover from the workouts. We programme each workout to allow you to work to your own abilities & pace, and Coaches are always on hand to provide modifications to exercises if required. It’s your choice as to whether you participate in each workout, but we’d always encourage you to get involved in as much as possible, challenge yourself for the week, and see what you’re capable of! Remember, it is a fitness retreat after all.

WHAT SORT OF WORKOUTS CAN I EXPECT ON MY ESCAPE?

The Coaches on your trip will programme as much variety as possible in the format, style & location of each of the workouts throughout the week. You can expect different training techniques such as functional strength movements, plyometric bodyweight movements and endurance training, boxing, HIIT circuits and our legendary finishers!

I have some injuries. Will I still be able to participate?

On every Escape, we have some guests with niggles or injuries, so we're used to accommodating for this! For most of the workouts we are able to provide alterations, progressions & regressions so that you can get the most out of our sessions. And remember, you can always join in to as much or as little as you wish.

TESTIMONIALS


"Fantastic week with top tier trainers, diverse individual and team-based work-outs along with wholesome/high-quality restaurant grade food to fuel you through the sessions (seconds encouraged). Plenty to do away from exercise (boat trips, downtime etc) and left feeling much fitter and stronger as well as surprisingly refreshed."

- Sam S

"Incredible week in October in Zakynthos. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging but fun week of pushing workouts, recovery yoga and unbelievable food. Amazing villa with pool, tennis etc. Amy and Mike running it were brilliant."

- Chris R

"Salt Escapes was hands down one of the best weeks of not only my summer but my life. The workouts, people and trainers were all unreal. It was great fun from start to finish. Varied workouts, all the staff really approachable and knowledgeable in fitness. You come away feeling refreshed and with new friends for life. It’s a must do if you ask me 🙌"

"One of the best weeks of my life! I laugh now when I think how nervous I was when booking it! The hotel in Marrakesh was stunning, Amy & Mike made me feel so welcome and the crew were all amazing (no matter how many burpees they made me do!). Every workout was super sweaty and WHAT A VIEW! The team kept us energised and I’ve made so many wonderful friendships. Will definitely be booking again for next year!"
