There's something magical about stepping away from the everyday and immersing yourself in a world curated for connection, rest, and beauty. At Maison d'Amies, our luxury women's retreats in Europe are designed to offer more than just an escape, they're a full body exhale.
Whether you're joining us in Provence or planning your own soulful getaway, this ultimate checklist ensures you'll feel calm, chic, and completely prepared.
Retreat Essentials (That Feel as Good as They Look)
Valid Passport
Printed Airline & Retreat Confirmations
Travel Insurance
Stylish Travel Wallet and/or Passport holder (we love ours from Hermes)
Pro Tip: Even if you're a digital nomad, carry printed versions. Rural WiFi can be a gamble.
Wardrobe Staples for Luxury in Motion
When packing for a women's retreat in Europe, think flowy fabrics, neutral palettes, and one or two "wow" pieces.
2-3 casual yet elegant dresses
1 wrap, light sweater, or cropped jacket
Comfortable but polished walking shoes or sandals
Day-to-Night earrings
Sunhat & Sunglasses
Style Note: Choose breathable fabrics like cotton or linen, especially in Provence!
Self-Care & Wellness Favorites
A Journal You Love
Your retreat will be rich with insight, laughter, and beauty. Keep a journal you actually want to write in, it becomes your travel keepsake.
One Ritual Item
Pack something small and meaningful: a favorite essential oil, silk sleep mask, or cashmere socks.
Hydration Helpers
Bring a refillable water bottle (and maybe electrolytes for long travel days). Staying hydrated=more energy for vineyard strolls and pastry tastings.
Your Retreat Day Bag
A small day bag will be your best friend as you explore markets, villages, and cobblestone streets.
What to pack:
Portable charger
Sunscreen
Travel tissues & sanitizer
Local Currency in small bills
Light Snack (a croissant counts, oui?)
Bonus Items You'll Thank Yourself For
A swimsuit
Even if your retreat doesn't' have a pool, you may visit spas or wellness centers nearby.
A Foldable Market Bag
Perfect for lavender bundles, handmade soap, or a spontaneous picnic.
The Little Luxuries
We can't live without our wireless bluetooth transmitter for the plane, our portable white noise machine, and high quality hand lotion.
