Autism-Friendly Wellbeing & Adventure Retreats

WilderMe offers small, autism-friendly holidays for independent autistic adults who want a supportive, nature-based break without the overwhelm of typical group travel.

 

Nestled in the tranquil village of Kingsand, SE Cornwall, this unique adventure offers a carefully crafted, fuss-free experience focused on relaxation, connection, and personal growth. It’s more than a retreat-it’s your time to unwind, recharge, and feel truly at ease.

Staying in our top of the range Geodesic Domes (see pics below), our holidays combine gentle adventure, creativity, and calm downtime in a stunning coastal and countryside location, giving you the chance to explore new experiences, meet people who understand, and take time for yourself.
