Not so long ago, menopause was spoken about in hushed tones and women were told to "just get on with it!". Luckily, those days are long gone and there is a plethora of information and guidance available for women going through menopause. Including getaways designed to help navigate all that comes with it.
Menopause and peri menopause can affect women on so many different levels. And sometimes, just taking HRT isn't enough to help us navigate the tricky symptoms. This is a profound shift in a woman’s life that reflects deeper transitions on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Going on a retreat that specialises in women's health can help you gain a deeper understanding of this shift. Stepping away from your day to day life and allowing yourself to be nurtured and guided will help you embed new habits that'll alleviate your symptoms and allow you to embrace this new chapter in your life in a more optimistic way. Below, our founder, Stella Photi, rounds up her top retreats for dealing with this time of our lives: where we move from fertility to wisdom!

You'll be guided by resident health coach, Doctor Anna Maria Acquaviva, through a personalised programme to help you regain your confidence, rejuvenate yourself from the inside out, and embrace the next phase of your life.

These two programmes have been carefully designed for women at different life stages. The Holistic Health Retreat is for women experiencing hormonal imbalances during peri menopause, while the Prime Years Retreat focuses on women aged 50 to 65, helping them thrive in the next chapter of their lives.

SwaSwara believes in empowering you to navigate menopause with confidence, strength, and grace. Rather than seeing it as a struggle, the team views it as an opportunity for renewal – a time to restore balance, reconnect with yourself, and step into this new chapter feeling nourished and vibrant.
In nature, balance is everything – earth provides stability, water flows effortlessly, fire transforms, air sustains life, and space allows expansion. The naturopathic approach here honours this harmony, using natural therapies to restore balance and promote wellbeing.

The Vital Menopause Retreat offers a comprehensive programme designed to help women manage the physical and emotional challenges of menopause. Combining thalassotherapy, personalised nutrition plans, hormone-balancing treatments, and expert-led fitness sessions, the retreat focuses on promoting overall wellbeing and restoring vitality during this life stage.

The Eve Care Programme is designed to rejuvenate the senses, detoxify the body, and restore overall health and vitality, while also boosting immunity and reducing the risk of disease. Tailored specifically for women, it addresses common gyneacological conditions such as PCOS, menopausal symptoms, and age-related degenerative disorders.

The Mindful Menopause programme at Six Senses Vana is a comprehensive and holistic wellness experience designed specifically for women going through menopause. It's crafted to support and empower women during this transformation, helping you cope with the challenges and thrive during this life stage.

The Meno Chance Programme aims to help women better understand themselves and their bodies during this often challenging phase of life. Over the course of a week you'll gain new confidence, reducing stress and improving both physical and mental wellbeing to facilitate weight loss and help you adopt a more relaxed approach to this new phase. This programme is popular among women suffering from menopause-related symptoms such as sleeping disorders, hot flushes, mood swings and weight gain.
