Whether you’re looking for a quick escape from your routine or an immersive wellness experience to find some peace and quiet, the Flex&Flow x Ananda wellness retreat in AlUla offers a perfect blend of traditional and modern approaches to health and relaxation, especially for those seeking to nourish both body and mind.
Taking place from Thursday April 9 to Sunday April 12, the women-only retreat brings together movement, mindfulness and cultural exploration in one of Saudi Arabia’s most striking landscapes.
The experience, tailored for just 10 women, focuses on slowing down and reconnecting with yourself and the surrounding desert.
Here’s what you can expect at the Flex&Flow x Ananda wellness retreat.
The retreat will be guided by Natalie Bristowe, Josefine Bruun and Anwar AlRashoud, all of whom bring years of experience working in the wellness space.
Each day is intentionally curated. Start the morning with Pilates sessions on Flex&Flow foldable reformer beds, set against AlUla’s vast mountains and open skies.

Meditation sessions, embodiment practices and small shared circles follow, allowing guests to pause, breathe and reconnect in ways that everyday routines rarely allow.
But that’s not all. Time is also set aside to explore AlUla itself, with guided walks through Old Town offering a chance to wander the historic heart of the destination.
Then, as evening falls, guests gather beneath AlUla’s famously clear skies for stargazing sessions. It’s a peaceful reminder of just how expansive the desert can feel once the day fades.
How to sign up
With only 10 places available, the Flex&Flow x Ananda retreat keeps things intentionally intimate and personal. It’s not about filling the schedule, but about creating space – to move, reflect, and simply be.
Think of it as four days to step away from the noise and return to yourself.
