Skyterra was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. There is such a genuine sense of community, and the people I met during my stay were truly wonderful. I was surprised by how many guests had been there several times before, and after spending a week there, I completely understand why. The food was absolutely five-star—healthy, delicious, and something I looked forward to every day. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and very enjoyable. There were so many classes and activities to choose from that there really is something for everyone, whether you want to be active, learn something new, relax, or simply take some time for yourself. What stood out most to me was how well cared for I felt throughout my stay. The staff created an environment where I could truly focus on myself and enjoy the experience without worrying about anything else. I highly recommend Skyterra. It was exactly what I needed, and I will definitely be back!

It’s a choice to be happy Sometimes you need to runaway. Alone time, no judgement time, health check, longevity advice. Whatever, I searched and found hundreds of extreme diet, yoga and rock climbing offers. Everything changed when I read the reviews for SkyTerra in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. I shared my experience with a college friend who lives very far away. We met again here. At SkyTerra we get pure comfort accommodations ❤️ and 3 meals your body (and you) are going to love. ❤️ After that, SkyTerra offers the strength training, hiking, yoga, longevity classes and everything else YOU CHOOSE to Be Happy. ❤️ Your new friends may arrive with baggage you’ll never hear about or with the anticipation of a return visit. You will arrive with the promise of welcome and what you need to Be Happy.

Transformational! I was in need of a reset - body/mind/spirit. Skyterra delivered and then some! The campus is beautiful, private cottages are comfortable and well-appointed; and the staff are knowledgeable, professional and care about each guest. They truly 'meet you where you are'. Their carefully curated itinerary (workouts, classes, activities) was exactly what I was looking for. I was there for 2 weeks and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome and behavior modification I was able to embrace and easily put into practice when I returned home. If you trust the trainers, and put in the work, you will see results! The culinary team is awesome - the meals were plentiful, balanced and delicious; and they cater to allergies and preferences. I can't thank you all enough for a wonderful stay. I hope to make this an annual gift to myself.

I never dreamed that one week would benefit my wellness so much. I was the lucky one that won this trip from their yearly giveaway. Prior to my stay, I would have never invested so much time or money on myself. Before my check-out day, I was already looking to extend my stay and book again. You cant put a price tag on your wellness! They have thought of EVERYTHING to create an environment that is welcoming, healing and rejuvenating. Staff is friendly, helpful and they really care. Best massage I've ever had too! The private cabins are comfortable and feel like home. Campus is beautiful and well cared for. The pool, exercise rooms and main lodge were always clean and maintained. Food was delicious! So good that I've came home and tried to cook many of the same meals I ate while there. The classes provided are educational and interesting. Things I never really thought that tied into my wellness, but have helped me since. Other activities such as pickleball and hiking are fun and give a nice break during the days. Especially fun enjoying them with the new friends I made during my week there. This made it feel like adult summer camp! I left feeling refreshed. My mind, body and soul got the rest it needed! Brought home tips for keeping myself healthy and a new outlook on life. Thank you to the staff! I can not wait to return!

If I could give 10 stars I would. I spent 5 wonderful weeks at Skyterra. This is an extremely special place. There is a level of community with other guests and staff that is really unique and wonderful. The staff are very qualified and do everything that they can to meet each individuals needs. All of the physical trainers and yoga instructors are well trained. They will easily make adjustments for someone who has a weak body part or injury. The educational classes are so informative. I learned so much. The culinary classes gave me the confidence that I could do this on my own once I got home. The individual lodges and cabins are beautiful. There are so many walking trails and an easy walk to a beautiful waterfall can be done for a morning wake up or for after dinner relaxation. The grounds are impeccable and the food is ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ +. I cannot recommend Skyterra enough. I can’t wait to return in 6 months.

My home away from home I just returned from my third trip to Skyterra. Each trip has been exactly what I needed at that moment, thanks to the incredibly welcoming and accepting energy that Skyterra embodies. Each time, I’ve learned something new, I’ve done something I didn’t think I could do, and I’ve been able to completely relax into the environment. One of their greatest strengths is that they encourage all guests at the start to make a clear plan for your stay, and they provide a wealth of tools to make sure you’re able to make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life when you get back home. Even a week at Skyterra can make a meaningful difference — this is a wonderful investment in yourself.
