7 Special Menopause Retreats To Book In 2024

By the end of 2025, it’s estimated that approximately 1.1 billion women worldwide will either be experiencing or have already been through menopause. With a figure like this, it’s no wonder the wellness industry has decided to shine a spotlight on bespoke programs for mature women. Enter menopause retreats.

Specifically created to support women going through this phase of life and led by fitness specialists, nutritionists, and physicians, they offer a safe and nurturing space where midlife ladies can share their experiences and receive a range of treatments and therapies that are designed to help balance the mind, body, and nervous system. 

Some retreats offer nutritional guidance and herbal remedies, focusing on managing symptoms through diet and nutrition, while others are more structured around physical rehabilitation, personal development, stress management, and exercise classes to alleviate discomfort and regain control over their bodies. From medical diagnostic analysis, Ayurvedic massage and phytotherapy to emotional release, breathwork and sharing circles, there is something for everyone. 

One of the most valuable aspects of these menopause retreats is the connection that you will make with other women who are going through the same experience. Of course, no one thinks that by going on a menopause retreat you would come back and not have symptoms anymore (this phase can last years) but it’s going to teach you strategies for how to manage this stage of life better.

Here are some of the top menopause retreats to book now for starting 2024 on the right foot. Be aware of the fact they might be expensive, so why not add them to your Santa’s list?

Top menopause retreats to unlock your potential
