Looking for the ultimate alcohol-free trip? You’ll find it here!

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. All these sober retreats vary in price, location & focus, but they have one thing in common: The retreats are designed for us non-drinkers looking for connection and a good time without alcohol!

I decided to make an overview of every sober retreat / alcohol-free trip there is on the market. Just so you can find the perfect one FOR YOU!

Here we go…
