Skyterra Wellness Retreat

What Skyterra Wellness Retreat does

Skyterra Wellness Retreat, founded in 2016 in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, operates an all-inclusive residential wellness retreat on a 155-acre campus adjacent to Pisgah National Forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains, approximately 30 minutes from Asheville. The company serves affluent individual adults and couples seeking multi-day immersive experiences targeting weight loss, fitness transformation, nutrition education, stress and burnout recovery, and chronic disease prevention, and reports having served thousands of guests since inception. Programming is organized around six pillars (Movement, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Mindfulness, Play, Rest) and delivered through more than 80 weekly class and activity offerings.

The flagship structured product is LoseSmart, a four-week intensive weight loss track combining personalized coaching, nutrition guidance, fitness programming, therapeutic support, and integrated GLP-1 medication assistance. Supplementary offerings include a separate Skyterra Young Adult program for guests ages 18-29, on-site physical therapy, a full spa, registered dietitian consultations, therapeutic support, and a garden-to-table dining program. Guest assessment is anchored by InBody body composition scanning at intake and exit, with Neurologics Brain Mapping marketed as a non-invasive enhancement to personalize programming based on real-time brain processing and stress regulation metrics. The company also operates a virtual extension, Skyterra At Home, providing remote premium coaching and recipes to maintain post-stay engagement.

Revenue is generated predominantly through per-stay all-inclusive packages priced at $4,060-$4,655 per week for standard stays and $18,480 for the four-week LoseSmart program, with reductions for multi-week commitments and summer promotional rates; premium add-ons (private training, spa, physical therapy, brain mapping) contribute incremental revenue per guest. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via the company website integrated with the ResNexus booking platform, supplemented by phone sales and a 'Design Your Retreat' lead capture form offering a $100 first-guest discount, with installment payment options offered through Affirm and Klarna. Marketing is content-led, anchored by an in-house podcast (Inspired Intentions, 246+ episodes), a 100+ post wellness blog, and active social channels, with earned media reinforced by USA Today 10Best #1 Wellness Retreat rankings in 2018, 2023, and 2024 and the 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice award. The company is privately held under founder ownership (Sue and Teresa), with no institutional funding rounds or public-market disclosures.
