After recognising the need for his clients to step back and focus on their physical and mental health, whilst away on holidays, Hugo created his first version of a health and fitness retreat in Ibiza, Spain; Balearic Bootcamp.

The concept, considered new to the ever-growing fitness enthusiasts, attracted the early adopters to discover wellness travelling. Hitherto, known mainly to the yoga travel community.

Inspired by the initial results and the burgeoning wellness tourism industry (according to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a global market evaluated at $600 billion, growing twice as fast than general tourism) Hugo founded Helios Retreats. Aimed to create wellness bespoke experiences to like-minded solo travellers.

Hugo’s passion for travelling and wellness are both illustrated in the foundations of what is recognised today as one of the best Fitness Retreats around the world.

Helios Retreats now operates in six unique countries, hosting several retreats, growing at a fast pace. The retreat is a platform worldwide fitness coaches and inspiring yogis, to showcase their skills to the Helios community.
