Discover the Perfect Balance of Cycling, Wellness, and Indulgence in Europe
Let’s be honest: one of the best parts of a great ride is what comes after the ride. That post-ride coffee. The wine. The stretch. The nap. The meal you swear you earned with every pedal stroke. At Soulfit Adventures, we believe that a truly unforgettable cycling retreat in Europe is about more than just the bike. It’s about balancing the sweat with the soul, and the kilometres with a little indulgence.
Effort + Indulgence = The Magic of a Soulfit Cycling Holiday
Yes, we ride. And yes, some days will challenge you - you’ll tackle climbs that test your legs, navigate winding descents, and dig deep on longer stretches. But the reward? It’s not just the view from the top (though that’s always spectacular). It’s the deep satisfaction of knowing you earned that lunch, that wine tasting, that massage. It’s the kind of effort that leaves you tired in the best possible way, and eager to do it all again tomorrow. That’s the rhythm we love: effort followed by ease. This is what sets our luxury cycling retreats for women apart.
Ride. Stretch. Sip. Repeat.
Our days are thoughtfully designed for the cyclist who wants more than just a leisurely pedal. Mornings kick off with scenic, but often demanding rides through vineyard-covered hills, winding country roads, or challenging climbs, depending on the location, whether it’s Provence, Italy, Girona, or the Loire Valley. Expect to sweat, to push yourself, and to feel proud of every kilometre. We pause for coffee (and the occasional pastry!), then return in time for a deep stretch or a restorative massage to reset and recharge. And then? Wine. A swim. Or maybe a nap. Or a book in the garden. Because recovery is just as important as the ride.
Not a Training Camp—A Cycling Retreat
Soulfit Adventures isn’t about racing or strict schedules. Our women’s cycling holidays are built around movement and stillness. They’re about connection - to yourself, to the group, and to the incredible locations we ride through. These retreats are ideal for women looking for a cycling trip that blends fitness with relaxation. It’s a holiday that leaves you feeling refreshed and inspired, not exhausted.
Gourmet Food on Every Cycling Retreat
Gourmet doesn’t have to mean formal. Each Soulfit table is filled with seasonal flavours, fresh produce, and relaxed conversation, because great food is part of the journey too.
We’d be remiss not to talk about the food. Whether it’s a nutritious breakfast, homemade lunch in a family-run restaurant, a riverside snack or a multi-course dinner under the stars, the food on our retreats is a standout feature. It’s local, seasonal, and delicious—fuel for the ride and food for the soul. Because cycling + cheese = happiness.
Indulgence Without Guilt on Your Cycling Holiday
Indulgence doesn’t have to mean excess. On a Soulfit cycling retreat, it means giving yourself permission to enjoy the whole experience. To have that glass of rosé. To sleep in. To skip a ride if you feel like it. There’s no pressure, just the freedom to enjoy each moment. That’s what we call balance on a cycling trip.
