About the retreat
Friday 12th June – Tuesday 16th June 2026
Trade the city for the sun-drenched olive groves of Apulia.
We’re heading to the heel of Italy for five days of movement, relaxation, and serious "slow living" vibes. Think rustic-luxe villa life, turquoise waters, and plenty of space to breathe. This retreat is all about YOU. Whether you’re here to work on your core, move through a niggle or just soak up the Mediterranean sun with your Everwell community, our sessions are designed to make you feel strong and fabulous.
Daily Pilates sessions will help you reconnect with your body and improve your strength, while restorative Yoga flows and guided Meditation ensure your mind gets as much love as your muscles. It’s the ultimate mix of energy and inner clarity.
Because we believe in balance, the food is a total highlight. We’ll feast on vibrant, locally sourced Apulian dishes, from fresh pasta to seasonal sun-ripened produce. And yes, there’s always room for a crisp glass of local wine or a sundowner in the garden.
Get strong, stay centred, and come home feeling deeply restored.

The venue
The venue is set within a small village in Salento, where the traditions of olive oil and winemaking stretch back to ancient times. The oldest part of the estate dates to the late 18th century and once served as the family’s historic summer residence, adding a sense of heritage and timeless character.
It is an idyllic sanctuary for those seeking true peace, surrounded by the natural wonders of Salento. Here, you can fully unwind in beautiful surroundings and experience the warmth, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home.
