The Men’s Only Wellness Retreats You Won’t Find on Google

Wellness retreats aren’t just for the gals. Fellas are catching on. Some much-needed R&R is the best way to improve your performance in all facets of life. And it’s not just dude ranches anymore. Men’s retreats today go beyond even the traditional spa getaway by offering male clientele a blend of fitness classes, wellness activities, and a proper mental reset. Itineraries often include hiking and meditation, while some have more niche offerings, such as expert-led psychedelic experiences.

Here are seven of the best guy getaways to take this year. 

The Farm at San Benito in Batangas, Philippines offers “The Noble Man” package. It’s a doctor-guided retreat for men’s hormonal balance, cardiovascular health, and sexual vitality. The program includes diagnostic testing, medical consultations, nutritional therapy, fitness sessions, spa treatments, and mindfulness work. 

In Cornwall, England, Rewild with Ali offers men’s retreats focused on surf therapy, breathwork, clarity, focus, and more. He even does bespoke workshops for company outings. And as his website points out, “When Google, Nike and Morgan Stanley are embedding breathwork tools into their culture, you know this isn’t just a wellness trend – it’s a strategic advantage.”

Rainbow Men offers 6-day Rainbow Journey Retreats around the world for gay, trans, and bi men. The retreats are held around the world and focus on fostering deeper emotional connections with themselves through sharing circles, meditation, intimacy workshops, dance sessions, and body art classes. 

Golden Door’s men-only weeks are high-energy glamping experiences in southern California, where men have the chance to unplug and challenge themselves without sacrificing creature comforts, as the campsite is well equipped and includes excellent farm-to-table cuisine. There are several men-only weeks each year, featuring mountaintop hikes and daily in-room massages. And it isn’t only the male attendees who benefit from the week-long retreat. 100% of the proceeds are donated to organizations supporting survivors of child abuse. 

Owen Marcus, the founder of Men’s Emotional Leadership Development, leads MELD: PRIME Retreats for men. The transformative retreat brings men together to aid them in doing the necessary inner work to find clarity that leads to emotional mastery through brotherhood and somatic practices. Plus, the Joshua Tree location. Bonus points for that.  

Bali, Indonesia is known for being a major wellness hub where men can get in on the healing at HOSHINOYA Bali with the Revitalizing Ritual in Sacred Valley package. Located just outside Ubud, the 2-day, 3-night package is available only to men and focuses on restoration through yoga, aquatic stretching, spa treatments, and nutrient-dense cuisine. Each male guest is given a bespoke plan with exercises, breathing techniques, and nutritional guidance to support their healing journey at home. 

Lone wolf type? Consider the SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats in Arizona, which offer private men’s retreats. The intensive personalized programs focus on breaking toxic patterns while navigating life transitions such as divorce or career shifts. Practitioners help men move from “survival mode” to emotional clarity.
