Provence has drawn seekers for centuries — artists, writers, healers, and those simply in need of stillness. The landscape carries a particular quality of light, of quiet, of slowness that makes it one of Europe’s most enduring destinations for restoration and reflection.
Only Provence offers an ideal collection of properties for retreat leaders: villas with yoga-ready spaces, serene gardens, and the privacy your participants need to fully arrive. We’ll match you to the right property for your group size, format, and vision.
Most popular retreat formats in Provence:
• Wellness & Yoga — Meditation, bodywork, and restoration in a tranquil Provençal setting
• Creative Workshops — Writing, painting, and photography surrounded by living inspiration
• Personal Growth & Spiritual Gatherings — Soulful programming with space to breathe and integrate
We partner with Lori at Pinch Me Provence, who specializes in consulting with retreat organizers to create day itineraries full of bespoke experiences tailored to your retreat’s theme and vision.
Offering fully guided day tours or retreat logistics support, Lori can help you execute your event to perfection. With her local knowledge and connections, your retreat will be filled with unforgettable ‘Pinch Me’ moments, leaving your guests with memories that exceed all expectations.

Only Provence co-founder Lydia Dean writes about their experiences raising a family, building a business in Provence, and later combining the love of travel with giving back in "Jumping the Picket Fence”. In 2021, she published “Light Through the Cracks,” a continuation of her journey, much of which has been based in Provence. Both books are available Amazon, Amazon.uk, and Amazon.Fr.
