The Promise

Rest. Reset. Reconnect.

Seven days in nature. Train with intention, recover deeply, and connect with people who get it.

🌿

Train in nature

3+ sessions a day on offer, outdoors. Mobility, HIIT, running, weights, Muay Thai, padel, kayak, hiking.

The gym has no walls. Just open-air floors, ocean breeze, and the sound of the jungle.

Not training hard — training right.

🌅

Rest well

Two clean meals daily. A private room for every guest. Sauna, cold plunge, and lounge — whenever you need them.

🤝

Connect

Twenty guests. Shared dinners, fireside chats, real conversations that outlast the week.

How The Week Flows

A day, and the arc that holds it.

A Typical Day

Your week, your rhythm.

No mandatory schedule. No roll call. Sessions and meals run on a daily rhythm — you decide what to join, what to skip, what to make your own.

Here's what a day could look like:

Group bamboo-pole training on the lawn at golden hour
  • 06:30Morning yoga (optional)
  • 07:30Meal 1 — open kitchen
  • 09:30Morning session — HIIT · Running · Muay Thai
  • 12:30Meal 2 — open kitchen
  • 14:00Free time — focus block, reading, beach, nap
  • 16:30Afternoon session — Padel · Kayak · Weights · Hiking
  • 18:30Sauna + cold plunge — open all evening
  • 20:00Shared table, or explore the island

Train hard on Tuesday, sleep in on Wednesday, skip the run for a long lunch on Thursday. The retreat moves with you — not the other way around.

The 7-Day Experience

From Monday landing to Sunday calm.

The arc, not the agenda. Most guests find their own version of this week.

The Location

The whole resort.
Just us.

For 7 days, Nova Fitness Retreat is our home base. 20 guests, one private retreat, ours for the week.

Set in Phu Quoc's jungle interior — a short walk from the sea, a world away from the tourist strip. Open-air gym, padel court, sauna, cold plunge, kayak access, all on site.

This isn't a retreat squeezed between vacationers.
Just us, the whole week.

Phu Quoc

Vietnam's largest island. Dense jungle, ocean breeze, white-sand shores a short walk away. Nova Fitness sits in the heart of it — open-air gym, padel court, kayak dock, sauna, cold plunge.

What should I bring?+

Workout clothes, shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, and your laptop if you're working from here.
