Sicily Fitness Retreat

A beachside property on one of Sicily's best stretches of sand. Steps from the water, with a dedicated yoga space and a pool to hover around between sessions. Rooms are comfortable and Sicilian in the best way, with stone floors and shuttered windows. The walls are whitewashed. The beach setup is ours, sunbeds and umbrellas included. There's 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, HIIT and beach boot-camp formats 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 the cooler morning hours, and afternoons slow down around the water. The region is very safe and well-traveled. Pack light fabrics and reef-safe sunscreen. Bring a swimsuit you actually like.

35–45 guests — one of our bigger retreats. The energy is loud and social. It's a celebratory week. 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 and seafood-heavy. It's delicious across the board. 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.
