Convenience & All-Inclusive Meals, some activities, and entertainment are often included.
On-Site Amenities Pools, gyms, spas, and more, are all right at your doorstep.
Social Atmosphere Great for meeting people and making friends.
Organized Activities Kids’ clubs, entertainment shows, and sports are usually available for you.
Things to consider:
Less Privacy You’ll be around many other guests, which can feel crowded at times.
Noise Levels Can Be High The pool areas, in particular, can be quite noisy, with loud music playing, leaving guests with little choice but to endure the noise, whether they enjoy it or not.
Limited Local Interaction Resorts can feel like self-contained islands, with less immersion into the local culture. Also, they are often in isolated locations with limited local transport choices.
Higher Costs Activities, and meals inside the resort may be overpriced. Payment is on a room basis and can end up costing several thousand for a family.
Less Excursions Often don’t have any planned excursions, workshops or activities included.
Rigid Schedule Meals and activities are often on a fixed timetable
Challenging for Health-Conscious Eaters With an abundance of food options, it’s easy to overindulge, making it difficult for those trying to maintain a balanced diet.
MUSAFIR HOMES RETREATS
Personalised, Restful, and Enriching
Pros:
Expertly Organised Itineraries Every detail is taken care of — from daily activities and workshops to transport between locations. You won’t waste time planning or figuring things out.
Led by Local Experts & Experienced Providers Each retreat day is thoughtfully curated to include cultural exploration, learning, and rest — guided by people who know the destination inside-out.
Small Group Atmosphere With group sizes typically between 8 to 24 guests, retreats feel intimate — like travelling with your own family or close friends. It’s perfect for solo travellers, couples, or small groups. Bespoke retreats for numbers less than eight can be arranged.
Wellness-Focused Many of our retreats include wellbeing elements like massages, hammams (baths), short spiritual or mindfulness sessions — helping you truly relax and recharge.
Balanced Schedules Our retreats offer a mix of structured activities and downtime, giving you space to rest or explore independently.
Meals Included or Pre-Planned Many retreats include breakfast, half board or full-board meals. When not included, your meals are still thoughtfully planned into the daily schedule — no stress or guesswork needed.
Great Value for Money Retreats are often more affordable than resorts, with many extras (activities, transport, workshops) already included — so there are no hidden surprises. Different locations cater for different budgets.
Effortless Cultural Immersion Retreats are rooted in local culture — giving you genuine experiences, not just tourist snapshots.
Things to consider:
Flights and airport transfers may not be included, especially as guests often join from all over the world.
Some retreats have shared rooms, which can work well for friends or solo travellers open to meeting others. Individual rooms can be arranged at an increment.
While some days are full of activities, others are intentionally lighter to give you time to breathe, reflect, or explore on your own.
