Four nights to rest, connect and fill your cup before your baby arrives

A driver meets you at the airport or in the city, the whole estate is just for your group, and the first dinner is already cooking.

A celebration of the woman you are becoming.

Time with this pregnancy, before everything changes.

“Better rested, better fed and better mentally than I’ve been in months.” Sara, UK

Mornings to prepare your body for birth

Gentle prenatal yoga and pelvic health exercises. Then a long brunch, the pool and, one afternoon, your prenatal massage.

Europe’s leading pregnancy retreat.

Since 2023, close to a thousand women have come to The Solo Babymoon, and every participant has rated it five stars.

Fourteen women who are exactly where you are

Women at exactly your stage, each coming alone, often from London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and New York. Mostly in their thirties with busy jobs, and about half already have a child at home.

A programme designed with UNICEF‑certified midwives and obstetricians.

Morning
Prenatal movement and pelvic floor work on the deck, then a long brunch
Midday
A birth session with your childbirth educator
Afternoon
Yours. Your massage one day, a guided visualisation or a creative session on others
Evening
Guided circle, then dinner by candlelight

Every session is an invitation. Join what calls you, and in any circle you are welcome to simply listen. All of it in English.

Confidence for whatever the birth brings

Seven hours of evidence-based birth education with your childbirth educator, so you know your options and what to do when the day goes its own way.

Midwives come here for their own pregnancies.

“As a trained midwife, I thought I didn’t have much to gain from these sessions, but I was wrong.”
Charlotte, a guest and midwifeCharlotte Rose-Birch, midwife, UK. She came as a guest.

Every meal is cooked for you, and for your baby.

No planning, and no second-guessing what you can eat. A private chef and a health nutritionist work around your personal dietary needs.

Guests go home almost looking forward to the birth.

“I felt a bit scared about labor. Afterwards, I felt excited, almost looking forward to it.”

Upcoming retreats

A retreat almost every month, for 15 women. You can come from week 14 to week 35.

Questions women ask first

How is this different from a hotel babymoon?
A hotel babymoon is a few days away with your partner, and many guests take one as well. These four nights are arranged around pregnancy itself. Every guest is pregnant, a childbirth educator leads all four days, a private chef cooks for pregnancy, and the whole estate is just for your group.
Will the other guests also come on their own?
Yes. Every guest comes on her own, and most arrive knowing no one. By the first dinner that has usually stopped mattering.
Can I fly in my week?
Ask your own midwife or doctor first. The retreat is for weeks 14 to 35, counted on the day you fly home. Airlines set their own limits, and from week 28 many ask for a letter. If you are expecting twins, tell us first.
What if my pregnancy changes before the date?
With travel insurance that has pregnancy cover, you are fully covered. If your midwife or doctor advises against travel after you booked, even though you were fit to travel then, you get a full refund of the retreat fee, and usually of your flight too. Check your existing travel insurance, or ask us to recommend a provider. A one-off policy usually costs €15 to €50.
Who is there if I need medical help?
We choose every venue for a clinic with a prenatal unit 15 to 30 minutes away. Your childbirth educator and your retreat concierge stay on the estate with you, day and night. Four midwives take turns on call by phone, around the clock. For most women, that is more people looking out for them, day and night, than in a normal week at home. Your own midwife or doctor stays in charge of your care.

You’re making room for your baby. This room is for you.
