The SALTY Meter

How to read the SALTY Meter six axes without a band legend or a score

The short version

The SALTY Meter is a quick way to read the personality of a retreat before you book. Every trip is rated across six axes, and the live numbers for each retreat live on that retreat's page, not here.

The six axes

  • Adventure: how much of the week is built around excursions, hikes, surf, and exploring outside the retreat property.

  • Culture: how deep the week goes into local food, language, markets, and traditions.

  • Party: how lively the evenings run, from quiet group dinners to hosted cocktail nights and dancing.

  • Sweat: how much daily training the schedule carries, from gentle movement to double sessions.

  • Rest: how much downtime sits between sessions, from a packed schedule to slow afternoons and early nights.

  • Group size: how many guests travel on that specific trip.

How to read it

No two retreats score the same way, and no combination is better than another. If you want big energy, look for higher Party and Sweat scores, plus a bigger Group size. If you want more of an exhale, look for higher Rest and Culture scores. The Meter isn't an algorithm or a marketing trick. It's an honest read on the week's energy, built so you can match a trip to your mood instead of guessing.

Use it alongside the comparison guide

The SALTY Meter tells you the energy of one trip at a time. If you're weighing two or three destinations against each other, pair it with the retreat comparison guide, or use the compare tool at https://www.getsaltyretreats.com/compare to see them side by side.

Where the numbers live

Each retreat page shows its own live SALTY Meter, alongside the group size, the dates, the coaches, and everything included on that trip.
