Our Wellness Retreat is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Pisgah National Forest, and the French Broad River. Skyterra integrates the uniqueness of location, culture, history and traditions. We are uniquely unrivaled because of the range of accessible experiences: hiking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, waterfall hunting, fishing, cycling, and more. Asheville, Brevard and the surrounding mountains differentiate us from our competitors and will surpass your expectations. The area’s growing reputation and prestige and the skill with which Skyterra’s team integrates this outdoor wonderland into your fitness program make this a dream destination.

Skyterra offers an all-inclusive program at affordable rates which vary based on your length of stay. This allows guests to focus on their wellness without having to choose what options or amenities to enjoy. Rates include airport transportation, a private lodge or cottage, Wi-Fi connection, chef-prepared meals, a functional movement assessment, daily activities and hikes, fitness classes and educational wellness seminars.

Our program is centered around your personal journey to sustainable well-being, and no two journeys are alike. The way we set you on your path involves a return to the essentials: finding inspiration in nature, looking within oneself, focusing on real, whole foods and discovering joy through achievable fitness.

Upon arrival, you’ll attend an orientation session. Your first morning on campus, we’ll do an arrival wellness screening that gathers baseline information. 

Screening components include blood pressure and resting heart rate, InBody 570 (Bioelectrical Impedance Machine/Scale) measurements including weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), basic body composition measurements and a functional mobility assessment.

After your wellness screening, you’ll meet with a fitness expert to review your results and plan the best schedule for your time at Skyterra. 

The breadth of learning that we offer is unlike any wellness retreat. We feature over 80 classes with a wide range of topics: guided meditation, self-compassion as it relates to eating, stress management and mindfulness. Fitness offerings including mobility/flexibility, multiple types of yoga, e-biking, and a large sampling of outdoor sports.

Our classes are safe, fun and scalable. At many fitness retreats, it’s about how much you move but here, it’s how you move that’s important. We’ll meet you where you are, and adapt to your body. Signature Classes are easy to replicate at home, focusing on mobility and flexibility, strength training and cardio.

We truly believe that the closer you are to nature, the more likely you are to have lasting breakthroughs that help you reach your health and wellness goals. That’s why we offer a variety of outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, waterfall hunting, yoga, cycling, kayaking, meditation, paddle boarding, archery, and more. 

Guests are delighted with our newest fitness and relaxation amenity — the Skyterra Natatorium, added in 2023.   Located adjacent to Skyterra’s main building, the new complex features an heated indoor pool, sauna, outdoor hut tub, and is open throughout the year.  The pool has a dedicated lap-swimming lane and is designed to accommodate many different forms of aquatic fitness and games.  The large  windows will open wide in warm weather, and the landscaped terrace boasts beautiful mountain views.

During your stay, our culinary staff nourishes and pampers, serving you fresh seasonal, local and healthy cuisine. No deprivation. No restriction. Just delicious, structured, balanced meals, where we take care of all the work and you just relax and enjoy the food. Guests can also experience our culinary demonstration kitchen with our executive chef and registered dietitian.
