Discerning Experience
April 2025 Pilates Holiday with Viv Smith – Oasis Hotel, Kalkan
Pilates Holiday with The Discerning Collection at The Oasis Hotel, Kalkan
Due to growing interest in Pilates, we are delighted to launch our 2025 season with a spring retreat at the much-loved Oasis Hotel in Kalkan, week commencing 23rd April 2025. We have chosen The Oasis with the utmost care, guided by its reputation for impeccable service, newly refurbished rooms, and enviable location just steps from Kalkan’s harbour. With its intimate atmosphere, stylish design, and warm hospitality, it provides the perfect setting for a restorative holiday that blends wellness with Mediterranean living.
Our Pilates holidays are ideal for singles, couples, and friends, with around 85% of our guests choosing to travel alone. Alongside twice-daily Pilates sessions over five days, there will be ample time to enjoy the hotel’s tranquil pool terraces, elegant rooms, and the wider charms of Kalkan’s old town and waterfront.
We include flights, transfers, a Discerning Spa treatment, an arrival meal, and the chance to feel part of a welcoming, like-minded community. Your Pilates journey will be guided by the exceptional Viv Smith, flown in from London, whose classes are designed to strengthen, lengthen, and leave you feeling uplifted. Sessions will include energising Pilates each morning and restorative Pilates stretch each evening. This retreat is perfect for anyone wishing to learn, refine, or deepen their practice in one of Turkey’s most picturesque coastal settings.
This is your time to unwind, and beyond the Pilates your retreat is yours to enjoy as you wish. Some guests choose to socialise, while others prefer more independence — there is no pressure either way. Whether browsing Kalkan’s boutiques and harbour cafés, dipping into its beach clubs, or simply relaxing in the comfort of The Oasis, you can shape your days to suit your own pace. Should you need assistance, our local concierge is always on hand. Guests who wish to arrange privately guided experiences or boat trips can do so with ease — whether independently, in small groups, or all together, as preferred.
