Bringing Barry's signature hybrid-style training to the Saudi Arabian desert for the second year, Banyan Tree AlUla is inviting guests to embark on a journey of self-discovery against the majestic backdrop of the Ashar Valley. Returning exclusively for one weekend only – from Thursday, 26 September to Sunday, 29 September – the Wellbeing Retreat will see the ethereal desert come alive with Barry's invigorating workouts and Banyan Tree AlUla's bespoke wellbeing experiences.
The thoughtfully planned itinerary includes:
- 3-night stay in a luxurious tented villa with full board
- Four sessions of Barry's signature workouts
- 60-min spa treatment at Banyan Tree Spa
- Banyan Tree AlUla wellbeing classes
- Destination dining experiences in the Ashar Valley and over a Stargazing Rawi
- Healthy cooking class, followed by a lunch of guests' own creation
- Airport transfers
Centred on Banyan Group's 8 Pillars of Wellbeing, guests will enjoy a generous schedule of activities that nourishes the mind, body, and soul – including four workout sessions hosted by Barry's expert instructors, Lina Antar and Farah Adra, as well as a heavy dose of relaxation – with morning yoga and stretching sessions among magical surroundings, evening sound healing sessions under the starry desert skies, and a spa treatment nestled between the soaring tawny-hued rocks.
The retreat will also include dining experiences at Harrat – Banyan Tree AlUla's acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant that overlooks the mirrored Maraya concert hall, Saffron – Banyan Tree's signature Thai offering, as well as a special Bedouin Tent Dinner under the stars, while a healthy cooking class will let guests embrace their inner chef, learning the secrets to delicious and nutritious food.
With pockets of free time in the itinerary, guests can look forward to unwinding at the tranquil rock pool with the valley on the horizon, enjoying the exclusivity of their own private villa, or exploring AlUla's ancient local surroundings during their stay.
