Pilates by the Sea
A wellness retreat in Emerald Isle, North Carolina
April 15-18, 2027
Join Claire, a classically trained Pilates teacher and the owner of Mindful Bodi Pilates, for three nights and four days of movement, rest, and renewal at The Pearl of The Point, a stunning nine-bedroom oceanfront home.
What’s included
Your all-inclusive retreat features a private chef preparing every meal and multiple Pilates mat classes each day, with clear breakdowns of the system and the purpose behind each movement. The retreat is limited to 12 guests, so every participant enjoys personal attention in class and an unhurried weekend.
Mind
Clear your head and restore your energy. Set aside the demands of work and daily life and reconnect with your body through a balance of movement and true rest.
Body
Movement is medicine, and how you move matters. Through focused breathwork and the Pilates mat system, you’ll build awareness and learn to move with intention and strength. We begin with a strong foundation in footwork and progress to core strength and endurance, supporting the whole body from the ground up.
Spirit
With sweeping views of the ocean, the sound, and the channel, The Pearl of The Point is the perfect place to leave stress behind. Take a beach walk, float in the heated pool, or unwind on the shared balcony and Sky Deck. You’ll return home refreshed, restored, and ready for what’s next.
The home
The Pearl of The Point features nine bedrooms, a heated pool, a rec room, and a Sky Deck open to all guests, and much more! An elevator reaches all three floors, so every part of the house, from the pool level to the top deck, is easy to enjoy.
