Margaret Island is exactly that, a peaceful oasis of greenery and calm right in the heart of Budapest. This is where we stay, at the Ensana Grand Hotel, complete with its own thermal spa and massage facilities, so you can always choose rest and recovery whenever your body needs it.

After the morning class we head into the city together. I take you as your local guide: from the famous landmarks to the hidden spots only locals know. In the afternoons we dive into the thermal baths Budapest is world-famous for. And in the evenings? Eating, tasting, laughing… and sometimes dancing the night away.

From 30 July to 4 August 2026 we did exactly that. Two Pilates classes a day, a reformer session, a sound bowl experience, a generous breakfast at the hotel, and the rest of our meals out in the city. We climbed the basilica, visited the castle and parliament, enjoyed Lukács, Rudas and the baths on the island, and let ourselves be spoiled by the flavours of Hungary.

The result? A body that moves, a mind that settles, and a real sense of balance, precisely because you explore the city by day and return each evening to that green oasis in the middle of the Danube.
