1. Yoga Retreats
Yoga retreats top the list of retreat types in the Antalya region. In Turkey, as everywhere else in the world, yoga retreats are the most popular of all. They aim to improve the participant's mental well-being, relax their mind, and increase self-awareness.
Antalya is one of the best places to organize a yoga retreat. Its breathtaking beaches, idyllic forests, the dramatic Taurus Mountains, and luxurious resorts provide the ideal environment to unwind. It's not surprising that many of the best yoga retreats and teachers can be found in Antalya.

3. Wellness-Meditation Retreats
Like yoga, meditation and wellness retreats are some of the most popular retreat types in Turkey.
While wellness retreats are all about targeting health and well-being with cleansing programs, detox, massages, and spa treatments. Meditation retreats allow practitioners to delve into the realm of their inner, spiritual world.
Featuring luxurious spa & wellness facilities located primarily in Antalya's renowned upscale 5-star resorts, the region is an ideal destination to organize wellness retreats.

4. Massage & Thermal Retreats
Turkey offers great thermal places for group retreats. An escape to one of the more than 1,000 thermal springs with healthy, natural, hot mineral water in Turkey is in high demand, as they have held a reputation for having healing properties for many centuries.
One of the most famous hot springs is located in Pamukkale, but there are many more scattered throughout Turkey. Since they have different levels of minerals, each thermal spring has unique healing qualities with therapeutic properties for various areas.
