Our Retreats
Your wellness retreat in Provence, at the Mas's own pace
At the Gavaresse, days don’t run on a schedule. They follow the sun, the tide, the quiet of the pines warming up. That’s the rhythm groups come looking for when they plan their wellness retreat in Provence with us — freedivers, hikers, yoga teachers, those on a fasting retreat, and plenty of others besides: a chess club once set up their pieces here for a weekend tournament. An entire mas, just for them, so that whatever the practice, it’s never interrupted by the noise of the world.
We welcome organisers of courses, retreats and gatherings of every kind, for stays with full privatisation: three independent gîtes, a Mediterranean garden, the sea just a five-minute walk away. Room for up to 20 people, a shared kitchen or our at-home chef service, and above all, a real chance to slow down, whatever brings your group together.
Freediving
The cove of Les Oursinières is no mere backdrop. A living, generous stretch of water, where you might come across a school of sea bass or the curious silhouette of a dolphin.
Hiking
Between the coastal path and the ridges overlooking the bay, every step opens onto a new view of the sea and the Îles d’Hyères.
Yoga
A terrace facing the sea, a garden that smells of fig and rosemary, a stillness just waiting to be inhabited.
Digital Detox
Setting the phone aside, rediscovering silence, taking back your own time: the Mas offers the perfect setting for this kind of break — a garden to read in, a terrace to do nothing on, the sea on foot to breathe.
Creative Retreats
Morning light on terracotta roofs, a stillness that invites writing, ever-changing views to paint or photograph: a setting that makes you want to create, with no rules but the ones you set for yourself.

Painting, chess, writing, music, or any other pursuit that needs calm and space to thrive: let’s talk. The Mas adapts to whatever brings your group together.
