Retreat
June 17 – 27
(JUNE 17 – 27)
Our connection to the land begins through ancient Sicilian traditions, discovering grani antichi and the secrets behind the quality of ancestral grains. We explore the most authentic side of the islands, far from mass tourism, including Alicudi, the most remote Aeolian island, where we enjoy exclusive access to an iconic terrace for a
private lunch immersed in Aeolian flavors.
This journey is for women seeking a deep connection with the sea, island life, and the raw beauty of nature. The Aeolian Islands offer a slower rhythm: sun, salt, wind, and volcanic energy, creating the perfect space to reconnect with yourself and the Mediterranean.
Unforgettable moments include a sunset aperitivo followed by witnessing Stromboli’s volcano erupting from the sea, yoga in nature to connect with the islands’ energy, and daily rituals inspired by local ingredients, from natural skincare centered on the Aeolian caper to hands-on experiences making traditional island cookies.
We visit Salina, Lipari, Panarea, Alicudi, and Stromboli, combining crystal-clear waters and cultural immersion. The journey is completed with an exclusive local wine tasting, featuring the islands’ iconic Malvasia, enjoyed at sunset with a picnic among dreamy vineyards.
This is island life, lived slowly, authentically, and for real.
June 17 – 24
At Our Aeolian Stay, every moment is an invitation to slow down and surrender to the rhythm of the sea. Drift into the embrace of Morpheus, lulled by the gentle waves, and wake to the soft glow of the Mediterranean sun. Here, rest isn’t just a pause, it’s nourishment for the body, mind, and soul.
Each room opens onto a private terrace, a front-row se at to endless sea views and golden sunsets over Salina and Panarea. Picture yourself starting the day with yoga as the morning breeze carries the scent of saltand sun, exploring hidden corners of the Aeolian Islands by afternoon, and returning to an intimate terrace for a dinner infused with the flavors of the islands.
From the shimmering pumice caves of Acquacalda to the quiet rhythm of the private beach, Our Aeolian Stay is more than a hotel, it’s a place where memories are made, where the energy of the Mediterranean becomes part of you, and where every moment invites you to fall in love with the islands all over again.
✈ Catania or Palermo Airport
On the first day, we’ll greet you at the port, where you’ll finally meet the group and begin the retreat together. We’ll head to Lipari Island, where we will stay for the entire trip. After a short introduction, we’ll make you fall instantly in love with the island at its most iconic sunset spot. Then we’ll gather for a Sicilian welcome dinner with sea views, enjoying authentic flavors and the magic of the Aeolian Islands.
We start exploring Lipari and Salina, letting the islands reveal their magic through light, stone, and sea.
We swim in luminous waters, wander through quiet villages, and sail along the coast,stopping to immerse ourselves in the Mediterranean and enjoy a simple aperitivo on board. The afternoon is filled with hidden caves, dramatic cliffs, and the pure joy of being together.
We end the day with a wine tasting at sunset, a picnic that turns the evening into a golden memory, a perfect closing to a day of island magic.
We wake up with gentle yoga on a terrace overlooking the sea, breathing in the island morning. The rest of the morning is free to explore Lipari at your own rhythm.
In the afternoon, we enter the golden fields of grani antichi, where a guided meditation invites us to slow down and connect with the land. Afterward, a master shares the secrets behind these ancient grains and their rich flavors. The day ends gathered around the table, enjoying pizza or pasta made with that special flour, rooted, nourishing, and deeply memorable.
Today we sail into the most remote and exclusive corners of the Aeolian Islands aboard our private boat with our sailor, Salvatore. Our first stop is Alicudi, an island without cars, where donkeys rule and nature sets the rhythm. We enjoy a private lunch on the terrace of a raditional Aeolian house, surrounded by silence and sea.
In the afternoon, we head to Filicudi, diving into hidden coves for a swim and wandering through its quiet village. As the sun softens, we return to our Aeolian villetta for an intimate private dinner at their restaurant, the perfect ending to a day shaped by the sea.
After a relaxed buffet breakfast in the villa, we ease into a true beach day. The morning is spent by the sea in Lipari, followed by a light lunch with pane cunzato eoliano, simple and full of island flavor.
The afternoon invites pure relaxation: free time by a panoramic pool, then a skincare lesson using natural products made from local island capers. We end the day together at a restaurant, savoring an amazing Sicilian dinner, slow, soulful, and deeply satisfying
We sail toward Panarea, diving into clear waters and soaking in the effortless beauty of the island and its tiny islets. After time to wander the village, the mood shifts as Stromboli appears, wild, powerful, unforgettable. As the sun sets, we circle the island by sea, haring an aperitivo and quiet anticipation. Then, from the water, we witness the volcano’s fire light up the night before returning to Lipari under the stars, moved, silent, in awe. Back at our place, flip-flops on, we share a relaxed dinner, replaying the awe of the volcanic eruption, still glowing in our minds.
The last day is all about slowing down: free time at the beach or in town to shop for souvenirs for your loved ones. We share lunch and dinner, and for these final meals we prepare something special for you, full of Sicilian Mediterranean flavor and the love we poured into this retreat.
It’s time to say goodbye, but it’s not really goodbye… it’s a “see you later.”
On our eighth and final day, we share one last breakfast together as a group a simple, meaningful moment filled with goodbyes, hugs, and ratitude for everything we’ve experienced. We say goodbye knowing it’s not truly the end: some return home, while others stay on to keep njoying Sicily, carrying the energy, memories, and magic of this retreat with them.
