Question 1

How does the pre-sale work?

Accepted Answer

It's first come, first served, so speed is your friend here! 🏃‍♀️

A reduced £99 deposit is all it takes to secure your spot on our launch trip before it goes live to general release. If all spaces are snapped up during pre-sale, there won't be a general release at all, so if you know you want in, don't sit on it! 👀
Pre-sale closes at 23:59 on 6th September 2026 ⏰, and we're expecting this one to sell out during pre-sale, so we'd say grab your deposit sooner rather than later 🎉

Question 2

What happens after I pay my deposit?

Accepted Answer

Once your place is secured, you'll get confirmation of your spot, and within 48 hours you'll receive an automated pay link for your balance with a 5% discount attached 💫
Pay within 7 days and that discount is locked in! If you'd rather take your time, you can choose to either split the payments (up to 6 payments between now and 8 weeks before your retreat) or settle the balance in full 8 weeks before you fly, just note that split payments and later balance settlements carry a 2.5% service charge.

Question 3

What room options are available, and how many rooms are there?

Accepted Answer

Solo Spot – £2,299 (4 rooms available): Your own private sanctuary.
Shared Spot – £1,899 (4 spots available: 4 for guys, 4 for girls): Sharing with another retreater of the same sex.
Double or Twin – £3,398 (2 rooms available): Come with a partner or friend.

Question 4

Where should I fly into?

Accepted Answer

You've got two airport options: Barcelona or Girona.
Barcelona (BCN) ✈️ is the bigger international hub with more flight options, but it's futher from the retreat, roughly 1.5–2 hours' drive from the Costa Brava, so factor that into your travel plans.Girona (GRO) ✈️ is by far the closer option, just around 30–40 minutes from the Costa Brava. It's smaller and served mostly by low-cost carriers, but if you can get a direct flight here, it'll save transfer time.

Question 5

What's the best way to get to the resort?

Accepted Answer

Transfers aren't included within the cost, but we've made it so easy to book them that there's zero need to waste time on research 🙌
Once your place is secured, just head to our official transport partner, Retreat Extras. They work directly with us, so all you need to do is share your flight details, lock in your preferred time, and they take care of the rest ✈️ Need a hand picking the best time? We're always happy to help with that too.
Each vehicle fits up to 3 guests, so it's a great one to split with fellow retreaters if you fancy 🚐 Book within 72 hours and you'll bag a cheeky 10% discount, all sorted in just a few clicks at www.retreatextras.com

Question 6

When is the best time to arrive and depart?

Accepted Answer

Your room will be ready from 3pm, but feel free to arrive earlier! You can drop your bags with concierge, explore the resort, grab a bite, or chill by the pool 🏖️. Keep an eye out for our team in reception, they'll be ready to meet you and help with check-in, and will send you a WhatsApp when your room is ready.
Checkout on the final day is 12pm, but if your flight is later, you're welcome to stay around the resort a little longer and keep your bags with concierge ✨

Question 7

I'm nervous to come on my own, do most people share rooms or get their own?

Accepted Answer

Nerves are completely normal!!

Almost all of our retreaters, whether it's their first Workout Away trip or their first time travelling solo, have felt exactly the same way.
We bring likeminded people together who want to live well, have fun, and connect with others, so a shared room is a lovely way to have some built-in company throughout your trip 🤝 We do our best to match sharers based on what we already know about our guests.
If you'd rather have your own space, our Solo Spot gives you your own private sanctuary, while still being fully part of the group for every session, meal and moment in between 🌴

Question 8

What's a typical day like on retreat?

Accepted Answer

Expect a mix of movement, downtime, and exploring 🌞 Mornings usually bring your main training session, with tennis courts, the beach, and stunning cliffside spots as your backdrop 💪

Afternoons are yours to relax by the pool, unwind in the spa, or wander down to Cala Giverola 🏖️ And evenings are for coming together over dinner and the buzz of the group 🍽️
It's all about balance: working hard, resting well, and soaking up everything the Costa Brava setting has to offer!

Question 9

What is the resort like? How do you choose them?

Accepted Answer

Part of the choosing process is still hugely overseen by our co-owners, Emily and Chris! 🌴 They both visit every single resort (often multiple times) before we host retreats there, so you know it's been properly tried and tested before we bring our retreaters along.
We build great partnerships with our resort partners, ones we know will work perfectly with Workout Away. Zel is one of those, and honestly, this was exactly our destination brochure needed! ✨ It's a wellness resort at heart, so fitness, community, and everything Workout Away is about is already woven into the place, which made it the perfect new addition to our portfolio.
And it's stunning 😍 Zel sits right on the cliffside overlooking Cala Giverola, a private cove with crystal-clear water, with a funicular railway that takes you straight down to the beach so you're never far from the sea 🌊 Think hammocks under the sun, a beachfront pool, tennis courts for our sessions, and a spa to properly unwind after a big training day 🧖‍♀️ The lobby has live music in the evenings, so there's always a lovely spot to gather with the group before or after dinner 🎶

Question 10

Will there be more dates released?

Accepted Answer

At this stage, we're just working on our launch trip for 1st June 2027 🚀 If this one sells out, we'll be adding more dates as they come, likely mid and late summer, but at this stage nothing is confirmed.
So if you know you want a spot on Costa Brava, we'd recommend getting this one in the diary while pre-sale is open ✍️
If you've been on one of our launch retreats before, you'll already know to expect a few extra treats along the way, because you know we love to go ALL out 🎉

Question 11

Can I add extra nights?

Accepted Answer

We haven't popped these into the pre-sale itself, but that doesn't mean you can't have them! Just connect with our Guest Experience team, and if you already know you're keen to extend your stay, we can get these priced up for you and added straight into your booking 🌴
We know our retreaters love to add nights before and after to make the most of their time at Zel, and we're always able to get you sweet rates, plus you'll keep the same room for the entire stay.
Just a note, additional nights will be on a half board basis and won't be hosted by the Workout Away team, so there'll be no workouts or hosting on these extra days, you'll be working directly with the resort for anything you need.

Question 12

What's on the menu in Costa Brava?

Accepted Answer

Food is a huge part of our retreats, we love to fuel our retreaters properly! 🍽️ This is one of our Half Board escapes, so breakfast and dinner are included, both served buffet-style with big, bold Mediterranean flavours to fuel you up for all your workouts 💪 Think fresh seafood, grilled fish and meats, paella-style rice dishes, Mediterranean salads, local cheeses, and plenty of variety to suit everyone.
Worth noting, this isn't an all-inclusive resort, and that's intentional! ☀️ We know our retreaters like the freedom to chill and explore during the day, whether that's finding a favourite little spot in town or trying somewhere new for lunch.
Zel Costa Brava does have several restaurants and dining spots on-site too, including a beach club serving relaxed dining by the sea, a spot specialising in traditional Spanish and rice dishes 🥘, and a café for speciality coffee throughout the day ☕ So if you want to grab lunch or a snack on the go, there's plenty of choice, plus a few bars dotted around, including one right on the beach, for a refreshing drink between sessions 🍹

Question 13

Can you accommodate allergies and food preferences?

Accepted Answer

Nothing to worry about here! 🌿 We'll be in touch within the month of your escape to sort any dietary requirements or allergies directly with you, and we coordinate closely with the team at Zel so it's all taken care of well before you land.
That means you can dive straight into those big, bold Mediterranean flavours knowing everything's been safely tailored to you 🍽️

Question 14

What if I'm not fit enough or haven't trained before?

Accepted Answer

This one comes up more than you'd think, and honestly, most of our retreaters felt exactly the same way before their first trip! 💛 Sessions on Costa Brava are programmed to be challenging but accessible to every level, with modifications throughout, so whether you're training five times a week or just getting started, you'll be looked after 💪
All of our concepts are designed, tried, tested, and perfected in-house by our two master trainers, Chris & Morgan 🏆, so you're in very safe hands. Have a little look here if you'd like to read more about them: https://www.workoutaway.com/workout-away-classesWith the tennis courts 🎾, the beach 🏖️, and the cliffside setting, there's a real mix of terrain and energy to work with, and the goal is for you to leave feeling challenged and rejuvenated, not intimidated ✨

Question 15

Is there an age limit, or is this suitable for beginners travelling solo?

Accepted Answer

You need to be 18+ to join us on retreat 🌴

Over the past 12 months, our average retreater has been between 25-45 but honestly, age is just a number here, we're a young at heart, inclusive brand, and we welcome anyone who wants to live well, train hard, and connect with likeminded people.
Whether you're a seasoned solo traveller or this is your very first trip alone, you'll fit right in!
