When I started organizing my own Sobertopia Retreats back in 2021, few organizations offered alcohol-free holidays. However, this market seems to have exploded in the last couple of years!! And the offerings are all so different… Some trips focus on hiking, others on relaxing at the beach with an alcohol-free cocktail! Then, there are adventure retreats, yoga retreats, safari’s, and all sorts of others. Varying in price, location & focus, but all with one thing in common: Designed for us non-drinkers looking for a good time without alcohol and filled with connection!
Since there are so many options these days, I made an overview of every sober retreat/alcohol-free trip there is on the market. Just so you can find the perfect one FOR YOU!

Alcohol-free trips
Well, this was them! I hope you found the perfect alcohol-free trip for YOU. I promise you, these experiences can TRULY transform your life! Or, at the very least, your mindset about leading an alcohol-free life. These alcohol-free trips are so filled with joy and authentic connection that you will see that there’s no alcohol needed to have a beautiful life. I’ve been on several of these retreats, and every single one gave me so much inspiration and zest for alcohol-free living!
I have a small favor to ask, which doesn’t cost you a thing and would mean the world to me… If you end up booking any of these wonderful retreats, please mention on your booking that you found it here, on my blog. Just say that Izzy from Sobertopia sent you 😉 I’ll then earn a small referral commission, which helps to keep my little blog afloat while having NO EXTRA COST to you.
Thanks so much for your support!
