Private wellness retreats in Europe

Personalised, transformative and fully customised — with or without plant medicines.

Welcome to Avalon. If you’ve landed here, it’s because something in you is ready for a deeper shift; more clarity, more healing, more presence. You’re looking for a private space to reset, expand, and reconnect with yourself. And that’s exactly what our private retreats are designed to offer.

Whether you’re seeking a private Ayahuasca retreat, a sacred medicine journey, or a non-psychedelic wellness retreat focused on practices like meditation, yoga and breathwork, Avalon creates bespoke, one-of-a-kind experiences built entirely around your needs.

Why choose a private retreat?

Private retreats have become one of the most powerful ways to step out of routine and into intentional inner work. Unlike group retreats, a private format offers:

Total privacy and emotional safety.

A personalised programme designed around your goals.

Flexible dates, locations and retreat length.

Complete freedom to include or exclude plant medicines.

One-on-one support from highly experienced facilitators.

A private wellness retreat lets you go deeper, at your own pace, supported by a team fully dedicated to your journey.

FAQs about private retreats

A private ceremony is a single, immersive session that lasts between 5 and 14 hours, depending on the medicine or practice. It may or may not include accommodation. A private retreat, on the other hand, is a multi-day personalised programme that includes accommodation, meals, therapies, integration support and optional plant-medicine ceremonies. Private retreats offer a deeper, more holistic and restorative experience.

No. At Avalon, all private retreats are fully customisable. You can choose a private wellness retreat without any plant medicines, a retreat based solely on practices like meditation, yoga or breathwork, or—if you feel called—a private sacred-medicine or private Ayahuasca retreat. The choice is always yours.

Private retreats typically last between 1 and 7 days, depending on your goals, schedule and the depth of the work you want to explore. Longer bespoke programmes are also available upon request.
