There’s a common misconception that to go on a retreat, there’s a hefty price tag attached. But with a wealth of options around the world, that’s no longer the case. When it comes to dieting (and sticking to it), it often helps to have someone on your side both for direction and motivation; and while there are no quick fixes to weight loss, these budget retreats are perfect to put you on the right track.

Tiger Muay Thai Training (Thailand)
The rigorous training schedules at Phuket’s Tiger Muay Thai training camp hold fat-burning at the core of their focus. Days begin with a vinyasa yoga session followed by fitness training and swimming sessions. An all-inclusive month-long package includes opt-in classes including the varied boxing and MMA sessions, as well as meal-tickets to the Tiger Kitchen—offering fuel to keep you active and energised while promoting weight loss from within. A body composition analysis at the start will form the base of your tailor-made weight loss programme, while the three private consultations each week will help to monitor progress on your weight loss journey.
