Planning Wellness Days and Retreats in Surrey -

A Complete Guide

Surrey has quickly become one of the most desirable locations in the UK for luxury wellness days and retreat experiences. With peaceful countryside scenery, elegant venues, and easy access from London, it’s the perfect place to create a calming escape that feels both restorative and beautifully curated.

At Wonder Events by Paula Ltd, we plan and manage wellness days, luxury retreats, and corporate wellbeing events in Surrey, handling everything from venue recommendations and supplier coordination to scheduling, catering, and on-the-day management. Whether you’re planning a relaxed yoga morning with brunch, a full-day retreat with sound healing and workshops, or a weekend wellness escape, we make the experience seamless and elevated from start to finish.

Why Surrey is Perfect for Wellness Retreats

Surrey offers a rare balance of natural tranquillity and convenience. Many clients love that they can travel from London in under an hour, yet feel completely removed from everyday noise and pressure.

Wellness retreat days in Surrey are ideal for:

Corporate wellbeing days and team resets
Private group retreats (friends, families, small gatherings)
Luxury birthday wellness celebrations
Hen party alternatives (relaxed, meaningful, premium)
Brand wellness events and influencer experiences
Spiritual and holistic wellbeing days

We plan in and around Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere, Farnham, Woking and the Surrey Hills, depending on the vibe you’re after.

What Makes a Wellness Day Feel Truly Luxurious?

A wellness retreat should feel calm and held — not chaotic or rushed.

The most memorable experiences aren’t about having a packed schedule… they’re about the flow, the energy, and the attention to detail.

We can shape the flow, timings and structure so nothing feels rushed.

That means guests can relax into the day properly, knowing everything is taken care of.

We design wellness days around the outcome you want, such as:

Nervous system reset and deep relaxation
Movement, strength and energy
Mindfulness and clarity
Spiritual connection and emotional wellbeing
Nourishment, balance and restoration
