Salt Escapes Reviews 

Couldn’t recommend more for a fun and active way to experience new places and meet amazing people

Went as a solo traveller (most people do) and had great fun. Challenging workouts but in a relaxed environment, excellent opportunities for additional activities too. Would go again!

Honestly one of the best holidays of my life. I had pretty high expectations having read so many of these reviews and after following the Instagram account for years but the week truly exceeded expectations. The villa was insane - the food even more insane...(I still can't get over the chocolate oats for breakfast) the workouts were tough but exactly what I wanted/signed up for! I really don't think there is anything about it that I would change. It was my first solo trip so I was a bit nervous but this is THE PERFECT solo trip - alot of people do go solo and I will be happily signing up solo again for next year's retreats!

I could go on and on but really I echo everything that is said in all the other reviews. Finally, just a shout out to Amy and Mike - they really are a dream team and 100% are the reason why it's so magical - they are so warm, friendly and welcoming, they really create this wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! I can't wait for the next adventure!

The hotel is exceptionally customer-oriented. The staff are beyond praise. They take care of the client in literally everything. And, most importantly, this care is genuine. Very comfortable psychologically. Breakfast and board were of the highest quality and in large quantities. I have never seen such a breakfast and such service, and I have many things to compare it with. It was very well located, very quiet and very comfortable room. Finally I found a hotel that I want to come back to.

I’m not exaggerating when I say the week I spent with Salt Escapes in Lombok was probably one of the best weeks of my life!

It was the first time I’ve ever gone on a solo trip let alone half way across the world - and I can safely say I did not feel alone for one second! Everyone on the trip was so friendly and Mike & Amy are the most amazing and welcoming couple - may have gone alone but came home was 12 new friends from all around the world.

The workouts were challenging for sure but makes you really realise what you body in capable of and Mike & Amy really push you to be that best version of yourself I’ve come home with the love for fitness I once had and lost for a while.

Not the mention Rhi’s yoga and Pilates what amazing sessions those were! Chef Robbie’s food was sensational, so fresh and always something new!

The Villa was absolutely stunning as well with such friendly staff that honestly gave you the 5 star feel in the rooms and service.

This trip was everything that was promised from booking the trip and coming home from the trip Mike & Amy have been so helpful and professional - Salt Escapes truly is a once in a lifetime trip and company!

So don’t even think about it book the trip and go I guarantee it’ll be one of your most memorable trips ever!

BEST WEEK EVER! This was my second Salt Escapes trip to the wonderful Zakynthos and hopefully not my last. If you're at all considering booking a fitness retreat, BOOK THIS ONE. And even if you're not, book this one.
Amy, Mike and Rhi are the best trainers and hosts, the workouts are all so much fun and varied, they really push you to your limit but cater for everyone's fitness and abilities. The villa is beautiful and the food is truly the best I think I've ever eaten (plus Mike's Margaritas are superb). I made friends for life and the amount I laughed was probably the best ab workout I've done in years. Already looking at next year's options!

WHERE DO I START?! One of the best weeks ever! Been following Salt Escapes on Instagram since day one so thought I knew what I was getting myself in for… my expectations where higher than high and somehow… it managed to exceed them! Amy and Mike are the best in the business - amazing coaches and the best fun! Rhi ran the Pilates sessions which was beyond beautiful and so perfect for stretching, breathing and appreciating how BEAUTIFUL our view was from the villa! Don’t get me wrong, the workouts were HARD - but with Amy and Mike guiding you through everything step by step and receiving nothing but support and encouragement from your new SALTY FAMILY… you can achieve anything!
BOAT DAY is also a must with Mike’s margarita’s on tap and brilliant tunes to party to in the sea - once in a lifetime (although it won’t be… as we will be booking again very soon) - made friends for life and coming home with the best attitude for fitness x THANK YOU SALT ESCAPES! x

My first retreat and it won't be my last with Salt Escapes! Amazing training, luxurious villa, the most delicious food, great people and the best organization from start to finish. Thank you Amy, Mike & Beth for this week! I will definitely be back (next year).

Had an incredible time with Salt Escapes in the island of Paros, Greece. The perfect balance of fitness, relaxing at the most amazing villa with ocean views and plenty of space to sunbathe by the pool, chill with new friends, eating delicious healthy food prepared every day by professional chefs and going on adventures: from runs and training at the beach, visiting the local town to a super fun boat day exploring the nearby islands, caves and cliff jumping! Amy and Mike were the best hosts ever that kept us energised the whole week with an exciting menu of daily activities. The fitness was one of the bests I have ever done with clever ideas mixing up weight training, interval training, boxing with team challenges that made the whole experience an unforgettable one. On top of that, we had daily yoga with the nicest and coolest yoga instructor Beth. There were 14 of us + the instructors and every single person contributed to this beautiful experience with good vibes, lots of laughter and teamwork! This is the type of experience, hosts and fitness retreat that you will want to repeat!

Trip of a lifetime in Paros Greece. Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Great workouts fantastic food and spectacular views from a very luxurious villa. These guys know how to retreat. Leaving feeling relaxed energised toned tanned and totally chilled out. Signing up for another trip for my next holiday 10/10 would recommend.

An epic week!

Hands down one of the best breaks I have ever had. Amazing times, a great group of people, intense and varied workouts, amazing daily yoga sessions with Beth, tasty food cooked by Rosie and Christian, an insane villa with unique luxury rooms, 5 mins walk from the beach with sea views, immense boat day out island hoping and beautiful evening out in a quaint Greek fishing village… can’t wait to do it again!

The vibe Amy and Mike (the Founders of Salt Escapes) create is absolutely perfect, their passion and enthusiasm as well as the way they go about things is spot on for a challenging, fun and relaxing time. Lovely peeps. And absolute couples goals.

The workouts ranged from HIT sessions, coast runs, boxing on the beach, sand and water sprints and even pushing cars up hills. Amy and Mike ensure everyone is getting the most from the sessions individually, whilst bringing the group together with challenges and competitions.

And don’t worry about constantly taking pictures, whilst Amy is putting you through a few too many burpees, Mike is capturing the whole experience with pro-level photography and a drone footage.

And nothing better than ending with a dip in the Aegean Sea, or one of the villa’s pools followed by a nap in the sun.

Every expectation met and exceeded. You can see why so many people join Salt Escapes time and time again.

This is my second escape. Amazing people, instructors and food. If your thinking about booking any other fitness retreat just stop and do this one.

Is it possible to give 6 stars out of 5? Mike and Amy have built something incredible with Salt Escapes. It's the perfect holiday - so well balanced between working out, relaxing, making new friends, and eating delicious food. It's one of the best holidays I've ever had, and will not hesitate to book another one for next year. The trips are for EVERYONE! Even people who are new to fitness, Mike & Amy talk you through all the workouts and can always modify everything for anyone who needs it due to injury etc. But the week is about so much more than the fitness! The villa is stunning, the views are unmatched, and the day on the boat is just perfect. Best week ever 🥰

It’s hard to put into words, but a Salt Escapes trip is truly a magical experience. My first trip was in Costa Rica, and I remember my excitement yet nervousness when I booked it. I was nervous about traveling solo to a foreign country to meet an entire group of strangers to do workouts that looked like they were designed for olympians, not me. Yet somehow I knew it was exactly what I needed. On that trip, I met the most amazing people and left with an entire new group of friends from different states and countries that I continue to keep in touch with. To my own surprise, I did every workout and nothing was too hard or beyond my skill level. Amy and Mike are two of the kindest, most welcoming hosts, challenging trainers, and quite honestly - the most fun to be around. They instantly felt like an extension of family. I’ve since been to Menorca with Salt Escapes, and again it exceeded my expectations. Incredible people, delicious food, challenging workouts, good drinks and way too much fun in the most beautiful villa and setting. If you're thinking about it - book a trip with them. You will eat well, work out well, rest well, and have the best time doing it. I promise, it’s the best money you’ll spend on yourself. Warning: you may become addicted. I definitely am, and I’m so happy to be.

Another amazing week with the Salt Escapes crew! Kick a$$ workouts, beautiful villas, amazing food, lots of laughs and so many incredible memories. Don’t hesitate…just book your ‘escape’ NOW!!

Second Salt Escapes done! Looking for a holiday adventure, with legit workouts, chef prepared healthy meals, good laughs and lots of salt… Salt Escapes Sardinia was great. Definitely a gamble as a solo female traveler, living in a villa with strangers… but Amy & Mike curate a great week of fitness and adventure… no regrets.

Oops I did it again…and again and again and again and again! Trip number 5 and counting with Salt Escapes and they never disappoint! Amazing people, places, food, workouts and of course boat days!! Every trip has been on another level from Greece to Sardinia all the way to Costa Rica, everything has been thought of for you, so all you have to do is turn up and have an epic time. Mike and Amy have truly created something special and I’m so glad I took the plunge to travel solo for the first time in 2020 and book my first escape! Bring on number 6 👌🏻

Where to even start?! I had such an amazing experience with Salt Escapes Amy and Mike are the best host for the trip! Workouts were fun, motivating and best of all challenging! The food prepared by the chef was delicious and healthy. Boat day was definitely a day to remember so much fun, overall a life changing trip. I would definitely book another escape with them they really know how to vacay! highly recommend it!

Hands down one of the most fun trips I've been on! Although it was a health-focused trip, it was not stilted and the overarching feel was a coterie of friends and fitness revelers. The workouts, food, and events were all included. Therefore, it allowed time to relax, socialize, nosh, and imbibe; all at a beautiful Villa in Spain.

It was fun to meet people from around the globe and share meals, workouts, and downtime. The hosts, Mike and Amy, are genuine and caring people who went out of their way to ensure all was taken care of and each person was enjoying their time.

If you are looking for a trip that focuses on fitness, healthy eating, and socializing, all while staying in a luxurious house, look no further : )

I booked my Salt Escape in Menorca largely because of the positive reviews I read online, and I must say the experience lived up to the hype! Amy and Mike are genuinely kind and fun, and they clearly have impeccable taste. Our boxing/yoga instructor Ailsa was also a blast. The HIIT workouts definitely pushed me to my limits, as I am more accustomed to running, but I left feeling stronger for it.

The villa itself was exquisite, and secluded despite being only 20 minutes from the airport. I couldn't believe how stunning and green the surrounding countryside was. Every inch of the property was thoughtfully curated and immaculately maintained. The food was delicious and beautiful. When I vacation, I rarely stay in one place for more than 3 days, but staying here for a week was a real treat. I honestly thought to myself, "This must be how celebrities live." Thank you, Amy and Mike, for bringing together this unforgettable experience.
