SicilyFitnessRetreat

A beachside property on one of Sicily's best stretches of sand. Steps from the water, with a dedicated yoga space, a pool to hover around between sessions, and rooms that are comfortable and Sicilian in the best way — stone floors, shuttered windows, whitewashed walls. The beach setup is ours: sunbeds, umbrellas, space to spread out. Zuma Beach Club is in walking distance for lunch every day.

Sicily is our most physically intense retreat — Sweat 9 on the SALTY Meter. Workouts are scalable (you can dial any session up or down), but the programming leans toward strength, conditioning, and HIIT with a high-skill coaching team. Bring the effort you want to bring. Zero pressure to hit every session.

August in southern Sicily is hot, yes — think high 80s to low 90s °F (30–33 °C) with sea breezes. We schedule workouts for cooler morning hours, lean into the water, and let the afternoon rhythm be slower. The region is very safe and well-traveled. Pack light fabrics, reef-safe sunscreen, and a swimsuit you actually like.

35–45 guests — one of our bigger retreats. The energy is loud, social, and celebratory. You'll meet more people than on our smaller trips, but the group still feels close by mid-week. Great for guests who thrive on big-group energy.

EU / Schengen rules apply. Most North American and UK passport holders don't need a visa for stays under 90 days, but double-check your country's rules before booking. We'll share pre-trip documents with everything you need.

You'll still eat incredibly well — Sicilian food is vegetable-forward, seafood-heavy, and universally delicious. Drinking is never required. Plenty of guests stay sober through the week and have a blast. We make the hosted cocktail nights fun whether you're drinking water or wine.
