Take a Man Retreat at the Lynx Lodge in Australia
Imagine a women's only yoga retreat, then twist that concept to fit something sponsored by the Axe body wash people, and you have The Lynx Lodge. It's a lodge on a lake in Australia. It's staffed by eight buxom beauties (with photos and profiles on the website). It's a haven where you can enjoy breakfast-in-bed, massages whenever you want them, and wakeboarding, dirt biking and beach volleyball. I really want to go, but, sadly, I can't. It's for men only. Amusing promo video after the jump.
