UZBEKISTAN
At Musafir Homes, we design seamless, stress-free retreats that allow you to focus on what truly matters: discovering the beauty of your destination and nurturing your personal growth and connection. With access to halal dining, prayer-friendly schedules, and thoughtfully curated experiences, our retreats are tailored specifically for Muslim travellers.
Our ethos is rooted in holistic wellbeing — nurturing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of each guest. Every retreat offers something unique, with lasting benefits that extend far beyond your time with us.
We combine years of travel experience with genuine guest feedback to constantly improve and evolve. We also speak directly with all activity providers, and whenever possible, conduct exploratory visits to ensure safety, authenticity, and depth. Unlike unstructured solo, group or family travel, our retreats provide curated accommodations, guided experiences, and meaningful activities — all aligned with your values.
Our goal is not just to give you a memorable journey, but to leave you with something that stays with you long after the retreat ends.
We nurture your spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing through thoughtful retreats.
We design retreats that offer space to explore, pause, grow, and connect in a safe, enriching environment.

I booked ladies only retreat to Antlya at the beginning of October with this company and would like to thank everyone who made this retreat comfortable and enjoyable. Had a wonderful time with everyone on the trip and they were sociable throughout the journey. Well organised throughout and the tour guide hired was helpful and knowledgeable. The itinerary was also arranged for everyone's needs. The experience of airport transfers was also timely and professionally organised. The pick-up and drop-off vehicle was clean, spacious and comfortable. The villa was clean and comfortable too, with a private swimming pool.
I had an amazing experience with this travel package to Istanbul! Everything was well organised, from airport transfers to guided tours. It removed all the headache of planning a trip. Highlight of the trip for me was the Bosphorus cruise. The itinerary had the perfect balance of sightseeing and free time. I would definitely recommend Musafir Homes.
I booked through Musafir Homes after being referred by a friend. The service provided was excellent. Responses were timely and professional. I booked an apartment in KL, Malaysia for 2 people and saved approx £50 compared to the cheapest I could find myself online. Thanks to Musafirs service I was even provided a free complimentary upgrade once at the apartment. I would highly recommend Musafir Homes and will definitely be using them in the future.
We booked our apartment hotel and airport transfer through Musafir Homes and were really impressed.. They provided complimentary airport transfers, which made it so much easier. There was a small mix up at the start with the car company, but Musafir Homes immediately fixed the issues and ensured our return journey was confirmed in time. The apartment they recommended was in a great location with lake views and shops and a pharmacy nearby. It was really clean and had two bathrooms and it was near Skendenberg square. Communication with the company was excellent throughout and they even got us the apartment cheaper than other websites. Their attention to detail and personal touch really stood out, we'd definitely recomnend them to anyone looking to save money and get hassle free stays and transfers.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to the team at Musafir Homes for organising our Istanbul trip for my large family of 24! I know it couldn't have been easy, but they made everything completely stress-free. Musafir Homes took care of every detail, from our airport transfers to our return journey home. They also organised our Istanbul city tours. We did two different tours with them to explore different zones in Istanbul. They were also very flexible, they arranged a special day trip to the Asian side of Istanbul, where we visited the breathtaking Grand Çamlıca Mosque which was my favourite day in Istanbul! I was initially worried as we were travelling with many children and older adults, but Musafir Homes made our lives so much easier. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves while being transported smoothly from our hotel to each tourist spot. Our tour guide, Emirhan, was extremely knowledgeable about Istanbul's history and sites, and his storytelling in English was very engaging! It was also very clear that him and our driver were always in good communication to ensure that our tours ran seamlessly. The price was also much better than what we would have paid if we booked through Tripadvisor or other online sites. Most importantly, the team at Musafir Homes were friendly, flexible, and genuinely committed to finding what worked best for our large group. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your holiday with Musafir Homes. Thanks to them, we had the most memorable summer holiday in Istanbul.
I enjoyed going on this retreat. The activities during this trip were well organised. The hamam was an excellent trip and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Suraya our host made sure it was a ladies only time and guided us through all the various areas during this experience. Suraya our host did her utmost to accommodate everyone and their needs.
Antalya ladies only retreat… I have recently returned from a ladies only retreat to Antalya which I booked through Musafir Homes. This was the first time I have gone on any sort of retreat like this and Musafir Homes ensured the experience was a highly enjoyable one. The airport transfers were luxurious,accomodation was clean with a private swimming pool which was a real treat and the food was freshly cooked on site. The organised day trips out included visiting the beach,olive picking,watercolour painting by the mountains and a trip to a hamam. The trip was such a relaxing experience and this was all down to Musafir Homes who were excellent hosts.They took care of everything. For anyone thinking of getting away on a retreat like this I would highly recommend going with Musafir Homes.They really do treat you like family.
We were looked after like family… This is the first time I have travelled with my 82 year old mother abroad. Suraya, kindly agreed to have a video call with me prior to booking, so that I could have all my questions addressed. The booking was simple, we were kept up to date with everything from the expected weather, to packing tips and more. I really appreciated the home from home comfort and the privacy of our outdoor pool. We were taken care of like family. Suraya ensure we were transported in comfort at all times. The excursions were well thought out and we had plenty of time to relax. I think mum is ready for her next trip! 😊
The company was great. Suraya our host was very nice . She looked after the group really well. I’d book through her again .
Antalya Aishah Ladies Retreat An unforgettable experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly arranged, from airport transfers to the activities throughout. The team was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive to our individual needs. The accommodation was comfortable, with delicious meals each day. I loved the mix of relaxation and adventure, from exploring local sights to unwinding by the pool. I’d definitely recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a refreshing break filled with great company.
