What makes it different
Weight loss that lasts after you leave
Real food, not crash diets
Three chef-prepared meals a day, planned with our registered dietitians. You learn what to eat by eating it, not by going hungry.
Strength that protects your muscle
Strength training, hiking and 80+ classes a week, so the weight you lose is fat, not the muscle that keeps your metabolism going.
You set the pace
Coaches and physical therapists start from your baseline and adjust every class to you. Nothing is mandatory, and no one yells.
Support after you go home
Leave with a plan, and keep going with the Skyterra At Home app, which has coaching built in.
All-inclusive
Everything your weight-loss retreat includes
One weekly rate covers all of this, so you can focus on building habits instead of logistics.
Your own private lodging
A private lodge, cottage or the Bungalow, each with a king bed, full kitchen and a porch for quiet mornings.
Three chef-prepared meals a day
Balanced, satisfying meals planned with our registered dietitians, and recipes you can make at home.
80+ classes every week
Strength, cardio, yoga, pool fitness and pickleball, at every level. Choose what fits you each day.
Guided hikes
Nine miles of trails on campus and waterfall hikes in Pisgah Forest, matched to your fitness.
Nutrition and habit education
Daily sessions on nutrition, sleep, stress and emotional eating, so the changes stick.
Free Asheville airport shuttle
We pick you up at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), about 30 minutes away, on arrival and departure days.

Adult weight-loss retreat questions, answered
Is Skyterra a fat camp?
Not in the old sense. Skyterra is an all-inclusive wellness and weight-loss retreat for adults. Instead of extreme diets and punishing workouts, you get balanced meals, strength training, education and support that keep working after you go home.
Do you have a structured weight-loss program?
Yes. LoseSmart is our four-week program with personalized coaching, nutrition and expert support, and support continues after you leave. You can also come for a week or two of the regular program.
Can you help if I'm on a GLP-1 medication?
Yes. Our GLP-1 support program focuses on strength training, protein and habits to help you protect lean muscle while you lose weight.
Do I need to be fit to come?
No. Every guest starts from their own baseline, and our team adjusts classes and hikes to your level, including if you have joint pain or haven't exercised in years.
Will I be with other people trying to lose weight?
Some guests come to lose weight and others come to reset or recharge. With never more than 35 guests and a team that meets you where you are, it's a supportive, judgment-free place to start.
