This year, one of London’s hippest boutique gyms, Another_Space, is hosting its first ever retreat - to the idyllic (and fittingly on-trend) Greek island of Mykonos.

The first of its kind, this trip celebrates the studio’s unique cross-training method, offering a mixture of yoga and HIIT workouts, combined with bike trips, sunset hikes, guided meditation and massages - all set in the breathtaking backdrop of the Aegean sea. Post-workout meals will be equally impressive, with bespoke menus designed by top nutritionists and prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.

To nourish body as well as mind, expect an abundance of organic, 80% plant-based superfood meals cooked up by a nutritional expert chef.
