Riders on desert singletrack in the Arava valley
Thu–Sat · December 17–19, 2026

Retreat 10
Yahel

Three days of desert, movement, rest and real connection at Kibbutz Yahel.

So what are we in for?

A journey that goes far beyond sport.

We'd love for you to join us again, or for the very first time. If you've been with us, you already know. And if you haven't, this is your chance to find out what DEMO STYLE actually feels like.

Every one of our retreats is built with a lot of love and an obsessive eye for detail, so that your experience is nothing short of extraordinary. All of it set in nature that is going to move you more than you expect.

This isn't one more sporting trip. It's a journey - a chance to step out of the routine, breathe, connect, and just be together.

The journey

Three days, three rides. Each day has its action and its reward.

Fast flowing desert trail near Kibbutz Paran

Thursday · Dec 17

Action

We meet at Kibbutz Paran, unload the bikes and head straight out onto a fast, flowing trail. Your first taste of desert ground.

Reward

We finish the ride and drive to Kibbutz Yahel, your home for the next two days. Rooms, good food, cold drinks and a pool waiting to wash the dust off, plus proper desert-style hanging out until the small hours.

The Yahel to Yotvata singletrack in the Arava

Friday · Dec 18

Action

Morning coffee, then we ride straight out of the kibbutz onto the Arava's legendary singletrack: Yahel–Yotvata. Packed trails, wild viewpoints, and flow like nothing else.

Reward

We finish with enormous grins at the Yotvata roadhouse, hop on the shuttle back to Yahel, and return to the winning routine: eat, drink, jump in the pool, let the legs recover.

Technical singletrack around Kibbutz Yahel

Saturday · Dec 19

Action

The final day belongs to the secret singletrack around Kibbutz Yahel. A unique, technical, genuinely interesting route through the hidden corners of the area.

Reward

We ride straight back into the kibbutz for one last round of food, drinks and swapping stories, before heading home: tired, and unreasonably happy.
