Get ready for a week of relaxing massages, swimming in gorgeous bays, sampling amazing food and sleeping under a blanket of stars.
Wellness on Board Retreats are designed to give you an amazing experience of receiving massages and acupressure therapies while sailing around the picturesque Turkish Riviera on a uniquely built yacht called a gulet. On our wellness retreats every detail has been taken care of; from comfy massage beds and hammocks to hamam treatments and delicious Mediterranean food. A week of total mental and physical relaxation and healing at the hands of our experienced healers from Denmark.
During the course of the week you will receive:
2x full body massages
2x acupressure treatments
1x Turkish Bath treatment including steam bath, peeling and rose oil massage
Additionally there will be inner balance sessions (yoga/meditation) every morning led by your tour supervisor Helle.
Sound good? Now, imagine all of this is happening on a gorgeous wooden gulet anchored at a beautiful secluded bay. A scene from paradise.
After the healing session you can enjoy the turquoise waters of Turkey, soak up the sun or sit back to enjoy a cold drink and a good book.
Your tour leader Helle will be taking care of your every need and will make sure that you have the holiday of your life.

The Guide
My name is Helle, and I am the hostess and the coordinator on the gulet.
I was born and raised in Denmark. I’ve organized wellness trips to Turkey for over 15 years.
I now live in San Diego, California with my family, but I can’t give up the wonderful atmosphere of Turkey and the Mediterranean so I still do a couple of retreats a year.
I and my sweet little daughter look forward to welcoming you on this wonderful and relaxing trip.
Love,
Helle
The Gulet
Gulets are hand made wooden boats that are unique to the Mediterranean region, particularly Turkey. They are purpose built leisure yachts which offer large deck areas and spacious cabins for your comfort. All gulets are skippered so you don’t have to worry about anything except whether to swim or sunbathe. Our experienced captains will take you to the most secluded, the most beautiful bays and cove around the Turkish coast thanks to their immense local knowledge.
All cabins have A/C and an en-suite bathroom and enough storage space for your luggage. We don’t recommend big luggage as you never need much when you’re on a gulet holiday.
The Food
You’ll be served three meals a day (B, L, D) and afternoon tea and snacks. If you think Turkish food is all about doner kebabs, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. There’s lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil dishes, grilled fish and meat and wonderful mezes. They are extra tasty when you eat surrounded by pine trees and turquoise waters. Take a look at our sample menu for more details about food.
The Route
Our selected route for wellness trips is the Göcek route. Located where the Taurus mountain range meets the Mediterranean, Göcek is a stunning and secluded harbour. On our route we will see many natural wonders and visit some amazing ancient sites. Some of the highlights are: the gorgeous Butterfly Valley, St. Nicholas Island (that’s Father Christmas to you and me) and the famous Oludeniz, one of the most photographed beaches in the world.
