Where Wellness Becomes a Journey
At Evolve Retreats, we believe the most meaningful travel experiences are those that leave a lasting impact.
Masters in Residence was created as a natural evolution of that philosophy — bringing exceptional wellness leaders into iconic properties to create immersive, elevated experiences that feel seamlessly integrated into the guest journey.
Rather than stepping away from the destination, guests are invited to engage with it more deeply — through movement, recovery, connection, and intention.
THE EXPERIENCE
Each residency unfolds over several days, creating a rhythm that feels both structured and effortless.
Mornings begin with guided movement or strength-based sessions designed to energize and ground. As the day progresses, guests naturally transition into the broader experience of the property — whether that includes time at the spa, exploring the destination, or simply enjoying moments of rest.
Afternoons may include recovery-focused workshops or longevity-based discussions, while evenings offer space for reflection, connection, and community.
The experience is intentionally designed to complement the environment — not compete with it — allowing wellness to become part of the atmosphere itself.
A GLIMPSE INTO THE EXPERIENCE
Each residency is shaped by the presence of exceptional wellness leaders whose work resonates with today’s luxury traveler.
Imagine a sunrise session overlooking the ocean, where movement and breath set the tone for the day. Later, guests gather for a recovery-focused workshop, followed by time spent enjoying the spa or surrounding landscape. As evening arrives, a more intimate experience — such as guided breathwork or conversation — creates space for connection.
In another setting, programming may center around longevity and lifestyle optimization, offering guests practical tools they can carry with them long after their stay.
No two residencies are the same. Each is thoughtfully curated to reflect both the destination and the leader guiding the experience.
THE LEADERS
Residencies are led by a select group of wellness experts known for delivering high-touch, transformational experiences.
Their work blends movement, recovery, and lifestyle practices with a deep understanding of how to create connection within a group setting. More than instructors, they help shape the tone and energy of the experience itself.
Select residencies feature leaders such as Chris and Tracie Vlaun, known for their work in strength, mobility, and longevity-focused training within luxury environments.
THE DESTINATIONS
Masters in Residence takes place in exceptional properties around the world — destinations chosen not only for their beauty, but for their ability to support an elevated and cohesive experience.
Each location offers a unique backdrop, allowing the residency to feel deeply connected to place while maintaining a consistent level of quality and intention.
WHY IT MATTERS
Wellness is no longer an amenity — it is a defining part of how people travel.
Today’s guests are seeking experiences that feel purposeful, immersive, and aligned with how they want to live. Masters in Residence reflects this shift, offering a way to engage more fully with both destination and self.
It is not about stepping away from life — but about experiencing it more deeply.
