The Best Luxury Wellness And Fitness Retreats to Visit by Superyacht

Hone your beach body at this Andalusian haven, where wealthy millennials check in to shift the stubborn kilos. Activities include Nordic walking, aqua gym, yoga and Pilates, with medical professionals on hand to provide expert consultations and emotional support. Famed as a one-stop shop for total rejuvenation, its terracotta patios and postcard-worthy whitewashed villas are a welcome reminder you’re on holiday (even if the Barry’s Bootcamp is going to have you doing so many press-ups that your muscles spasm).

Tough love: Those brave enough (or desperate enough to beat cellulite) can try its manual aquatic massage. It starts off gently in a cushioned bath, where jets of warm water are applied in rhythmic movements, easing tight muscles and aiding lymphatic drainage. The tide quickly turns, however, as you stand to be pummelled with short blasts of ice cold water in a wet room.

Best by boat: The NaturHouse group have set up a residence in Malaga, next door to Mediterranean superyacht hotspot Marbella. Drop your yacht in Puerto Banús, which can accommodate yachts up to 63 metres and is a 15-minute spin from the hotel.

Your children may not be the next Williams sisters or Brownlee brothers, but you can still improve your whole family’s health with Cheval Blanc’s new wellness journey. Hop on a speedboat to the island of Maakurandhoo, which is dotted with guttiferae and pandanus flowers, and be put through your paces with the jungle boot camp. Working on strength and cardiovascular fitness, the workout includes elements such as kettlebell lifts and tyre throw exercises on your own private beach.

Relax afterwards with the hands-on Randheli traditional scrub, where members of the family can practise Maldivian rituals. Then enjoy an evening BBQ on one of the resort’s pearly white sand beaches where chefs can arrange for a father-son stand-off to establish the finest wielder of the tongs.

Charter and chill: Charter the hotel’s 30 metre Azimut 98 Leonardo and discover deserted islands and pristine waters.

Best by boat: Alert the resort in advance and you can anchor in the lagoon or just outside and tender in. Alternatively, charter a sea plane and enjoy the spectacular 40 minute flight from Malé – the resort even has its own plane and private arrivals lounge.
