TUI Blue is expanding its experience-led holiday
concept with a series of exclusive themed events launching from late summer
2026. Hosted at selected resorts in Türkiye and Germany, the new programme
combines wellness, outdoor activities and family experiences, while giving
guests the opportunity to help shape the future development of
experience-focused holidays through their feedback.
Wellness retreats designed to restore balance
The new event series begins with Ground & Reset:
Yoga Retreat at TUI Blue Seno in Türkiye from 24 to 28 August 2026. The
adults-only programme combines dynamic yoga sessions, mindful walks in nature,
Yin Yoga and spa experiences in a peaceful setting designed to promote physical
and mental wellbeing.
A second adults-only retreat, Reset. Recharge.
Reconnect., follows at TUI Blue Sarigerme Park from 2 to 6 September. The
concept focuses on outdoor activities, gentle movement and guided reflection,
complemented by BLUEf!t workouts and a complimentary spa treatment pass to
encourage relaxation and renewed energy.
Outdoor adventures for families
Families can take part in the Family Adventure &
Nature Camp at TUI Blue Sarigerme Park from 5 to 9 October. The programme
encourages quality time together through outdoor adventures, creative workshops
and nature-based activities, including beach challenges, cooking experiences
and stargazing. Guests also receive a complimentary spa treatment pass during
their stay.
The Coastal Connection Camp – For Families at TUI Blue
Sylt in Germany rounds off the series from 14 to 18 October. Inspired by the
island's coastal landscape, the retreat combines outdoor adventures,
exploration and shared family activities in a relaxed seaside environment.
Participants also receive complimentary access to the resort's climbing wall.
Shaping the future of experience-led holidays
According to TUI Blue, the new events reflect growing
demand for holidays that combine accommodation with curated experiences centred
on wellness, active lifestyles and family connections.
Guest participation and on-site feedback will play an
important role in evaluating the new concepts and supporting the future
development of experience-led stays across the TUI Blue portfolio.
