Some trips are built around sightseeing. These ones are built around a yoga mat, a quiet morning, and a real break from the daily rush.
From Bali rice fields to Thai beaches and Portuguese wine country, this list covers retreats that are open and actively scheduling guests. Some offer set weeks with group classes.
Others let you pick your own dates and shape your own stay. A few focus on silence and meditation, while others add spa days, hiking, and ocean swims.
Whether you are brand new to yoga or years into your practice, there is a place here that fits. Read on, pick a favorite, and maybe send the list to a friend who needs a reset too.
COMO Shambhala Estate, Bali, Indonesia
Yoga at COMO Shambhala Estate is only one piece of a bigger wellness plan. The estate sits in the green landscape near Ubud and builds its stays around Wellness Paths.
Each path blends private or group movement sessions with meditation, breathwork, treatments, and personalized guidance from the team. Guests can choose programs lasting several nights, and shorter wellness experiences are offered too.
The Connect to Rebalance program is a good example. It includes yoga, meditation, pranayama, and outdoor activities, along with treatments and a personalized meal plan.
This is not a classic group yoga camp where everyone follows the same timetable. It works more like a highly customizable wellness vacation, which suits travelers who want a say in how each day unfolds.
I would save this one for a trip where yoga is a main goal but comfort and personal attention matter just as much. Ask about program lengths before booking so the schedule matches your travel window.
Blue Spirit Costa Rica, Nosara, Costa Rica
Nosara has grown into one of Central America’s best-known wellness towns, and Blue Spirit is a big reason why. The center keeps a busy retreat calendar with weeklong programs.
Classes include Vinyasa, Hatha, restorative, and Yin yoga, plus meditation, breathwork, and sound healing. One retreat scheduled for November 2026 is advertised for everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners, so newcomers do not need to feel out of place.
The Pacific coast location adds options beyond the studio. Guests can mix structured classes with beach time and ocean swims, which keeps the week from feeling too rigid.
For travelers in the United States, Costa Rica is a handy choice. You get a true international retreat without a marathon flight across the globe.
If you like variety in your yoga styles, the range here is a strong selling point. Check the calendar early, since themed weeks differ from one date to the next.
Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, Nosara, Costa Rica
A jungle path that leads toward Playa Guiones is one of the nicest touches at Bodhi Tree. Also in Nosara, this property works as a dedicated yoga resort rather than a one-off retreat venue.
Its official calendar lists several upcoming 2026 retreats. Programs cover yoga, Pilates, meditation, and movement, and the theme changes depending on the visiting teacher.
On the grounds, guests will find saltwater pools, spa facilities, restaurants, and regular fitness classes. That mix means the days are not limited to one long session on the mat.
Some weeks lean toward traditional yoga. Others blend movement, coaching, and outdoor activities, so you can pick the style that matches your goals.
It is a practical pick for travelers who like resort comforts but still want the community feel of a group retreat. Browse the calendar and match the teacher to your interests.
Haramara Retreat, Sayulita, Mexico
Leaving your phone in a drawer is part of the plan at Haramara. The retreat sits outside colorful Sayulita on Mexico’s Pacific coast and leans into an unplugged atmosphere.
Its retreat calendar stretches through late 2026 and into 2027. Programs focus on Vinyasa, Iyengar, meditation, breathwork, restorative yoga, and other wellness practices.
Some retreats include two yoga sessions a day along with organic meals. Others pair practice with hiking, fitness, or time at the private beach.
The open-air yoga spaces and jungle setting are a major part of the experience, so the location does as much work as the schedule.
For anyone who wants to step away from screens and routines, this is one of the more distinctive options on the list. Look at the calendar to find the style of practice you want, since each retreat has its own focus.
The Shala Bali, Ubud, Indonesia
Not every vacation lines up with a fixed retreat date, and The Shala Bali solves that problem. Guests can arrive on flexible dates and choose stays built around yoga, Ayurveda, spa treatments, and vegetarian cuisine.
The Healthy Holiday package includes daily 90-minute morning yoga, meals, a rice-paddy walk, and spa treatments. Other programs put more emphasis on Ayurveda or intensive wellness.
The retreat sits among greenery close to Ubud. On site are yoga spaces, restaurants, a spa, and a saltwater pool.
That flexibility makes it especially handy for travelers whose schedules do not match a group retreat. You pick the package, then set your own arrival.
I like this one as a first yoga trip because the packages are clearly defined. Compare the Healthy Holiday with the Ayurveda options, then choose the focus that fits your goals.
Fivelements Retreat Bali, Bali, Indonesia
Along a river in Bali, Fivelements treats yoga as one part of a broader holistic philosophy. The schedule is not only about poses.
The retreat continues to host yoga, healing, and mindfulness experiences. It published a dedicated World Wellness Weekend program for September 2026.
That package included morning yoga, healthy meals, a Balinese massage, Pilates, sound healing, and a traditional fire ceremony. It shows how many layers a single weekend can hold.
Beyond that event, Fivelements offers ongoing healing and wellness experiences rooted in Balinese traditions. Those cultural elements set it apart from places that focus only on exercise.
Travelers who want beautiful surroundings and a sense of local wellness customs alongside yoga may find this a strong match. A short weekend program can work as a trial run before committing to a longer stay.
Suryalila Retreat Centre, Andalusia, Spain
Southern Spain is not the first place many people picture for yoga, which is part of the appeal. Suryalila places its sessions in rural Andalusia, surrounded by countryside scenery.
The center runs its own wellness programs and also hosts specialty retreats and teacher trainings. Its October 2026 schedule includes an Adventure and Yoga Retreat.
There are also customizable Retreat Yourself packages. They offer daily yoga, vegetarian meals, and optional treatments or activities.
Guests who do not want to spend every waking hour on a yoga mat can pick programs that mix practice with outdoor adventures and time in nature.
This is an appealing European choice for travelers who like sunshine, countryside, and movement. If you are not sure how much yoga you want, the customizable packages give you room to adjust.
Azulfit, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain
Saturday is arrival day at Azulfit, and that simple rule makes planning easy. The retreat runs year-round on Fuerteventura, one of Spain’s Canary Islands.
The standard program lasts eight days and seven nights. That is far simpler to fit into a calendar than a once-a-year event.
Yoga, Pilates, and meditation form the core of the week. Vegetarian food, massage, and other wellness treatments round things out.
The retreat is designed for different ability levels, not only experienced yogis. Beginners can join without worrying that they will be left behind.
Upcoming dates are shown directly in the official booking system, which also confirms that the retreat is still operating. If you like knowing exactly when you can go, that clarity is a real plus.
Mandali, Quarna Sopra, Italy
Silence is part of the schedule at Mandali, which makes it different from most retreats. This northern Italian center is built for slowing down rather than staying busy.
The signature Mandali Experience blends twice-daily meditation with twice-daily yoga or Qigong. It also includes periods of silence, nature walks, and vegetarian meals.
Guests have access to wellness facilities such as a pool, sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi. They offer a way to unwind between sessions.
Mandali continues to publish scheduled retreats through late 2026, including a special year-end program.
The pairing of movement and deliberate stillness is the point here. It is less about packing in activities and more about easing the pace of everyday life.
Choose this one if you want a contemplative week.
Shreyas Retreat, Bengaluru, India
Yoga began in India, so a stay near Bengaluru brings you closer to its cultural roots. Shreyas Retreat shows current packages priced and available through March 2027, a good sign of ongoing operations.
Programs can include personalized yoga instruction, pranayama, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Traditional yogic cleansing practices and massages may be part of the plan too.
Longer stays add extras such as healthy vegetarian cooking sessions. There are also discussions about how to bring yoga into daily life back home.
Classes are available for beginner, intermediate, and advanced practitioners. That makes Shreyas approachable for travelers who are curious about traditional yoga but have limited experience.
The take-home lessons are a real benefit here. You leave with ideas you can actually use after the trip ends.
Kamalaya, Koh Samui, Thailand
Plan on a program, not just a pool day, if you book Kamalaya. Set on Koh Samui, it is one of the more comprehensive wellness destinations on this list.
The resort combines yoga and meditation with fitness, therapies, and personalized wellness programs. Its 2026 schedule shows active retreats and visiting practitioners.
Guests can also join scheduled holistic activities throughout the week. Yoga, Qigong, fitness, and meditation sessions are among them.
First-time guests staying fewer than seven nights are currently required to book a minimum three-night wellness program. That rule shows Kamalaya is built around a structured wellness experience, not an ordinary beach hotel stay.
I would suggest this for travelers who want guidance and structure rather than a loose vacation. Look at the visiting practitioner calendar before you choose your dates.
Chiva-Som, Hua Hin, Thailand
Decades in the wellness business give Chiva-Som a long track record, and yoga still shows up prominently in its programming. The resort confirmed a yoga residency for November 7 to 9, 2026.
It features international instructor Adrienne Everett, and classes are available to resort guests. Her program combines yoga with strength, mobility, and mindful movement.
Chiva-Som suits travelers who want yoga as part of an upscale, personalized wellness vacation. It is not meant to be a rustic retreat.
Hua Hin sits on the Gulf of Thailand. That location gives visitors the option of pairing a wellness stay with a longer journey through the country.
A short residency like this one is easy to fold into a bigger Thailand itinerary. Book early, since specific dates are limited.
Sen Wellness Sanctuary, Sri Lanka
Retreat dates at Sen Wellness Sanctuary are already stretching into 2027, which shows how far ahead the team plans. The sanctuary sits in a peaceful corner of Sri Lanka.
The calendar includes an Autumn Sunshine Retreat in November 2026 and Winter Revival in December. A longer festive retreat runs into January 2027.
The experiences go beyond physical yoga practice. They incorporate meditation, breathwork, sound, and ceremonial elements.
This approach will appeal most to travelers who are comfortable with the spiritual side of wellness. It is an immersive group experience, not a casual class at a resort.
If you are ready to commit to a full program, the seasonal themes make it easy to choose a time of year that feels right. Read each retreat description closely before booking.
Six Senses Douro Valley, Portugal
Vineyard views set the scene for yoga at Six Senses Douro Valley. The property lists several upcoming wellness retreats.
Its Reset and Reconnect program runs on dates throughout late 2026 and early 2027. It combines Hatha yoga, breathwork, treatments, and guided time in nature, and it states that previous yoga experience is not required.
A separate Yoga and Vedic Astrology retreat is scheduled for December 15 to 19, 2026. It features yoga, pranayama, meditation, and other practices.
This is a strong option for travelers who want yoga without giving up luxury. The wine-country scenery and comfortable European resort setting are part of the draw.
Beginners can start with Reset and Reconnect, while those curious about astrology have a December option. Compare dates to find the right fit.
BodyHoliday, Cap Estate, Saint Lucia
Octoba Yoga is the name of the month-long focus at BodyHoliday. The 2026 edition runs from September 28 through October 31.
The beachfront wellness resort in Saint Lucia runs fitness and wellbeing activities throughout the year. During Octoba, yoga takes an even bigger role.
That makes it a good fit for couples or friends whose interests are not identical. One traveler can devote more time to yoga while another enjoys the resort’s broader fitness and wellness offerings.
Of everything on this list, it may be the most vacation-like version of a yoga retreat. You get the Caribbean setting along with the classes.
The resort also maintains a U.S. reservation number, reflecting its established international guest base. That can make booking simpler for American travelers.
