In order to create a sensual and nourishing yoga experience for you, we have chosen Zen Sicily, a serene retreat located in the lush countryside of Noto, Sicily. The villa is surrounded by an organic farm where olive, citrus, almond, and carob trees grow strong and majestic. Strolling through the herb gardens, you’ll encounter rosemary, thyme, oregano, and more, releasing their aromas into the air—an authentic Sicilian aromatherapy for the senses. Hidden meditation spots, such as our contemplative corner “Oblivion,” invite you to pause, reflect, and recharge. Or simply relax on the patio under the vast Sicilian night sky, glittering with stars. Our retreat is set near the Riserva Naturale Orientata Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari, one of Sicily’s most enchanting coastal reserves, where golden beaches meet turquoise waters, and migrating flamingos rest in saltwater lagoons. Just a short ride away is Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage town celebrated as the “Capital of Baroque” for its honey-colored palaces and sweeping piazzas—a perfect place to wander slowly and savor Sicilian gelato. Breathe in the beauty of Sicily. At Zen Sicily, you are immersed in a landscape that blends ancient history, Mediterranean flavors, and unspoiled natural beauty. It is a perfect hideaway where both body and soul can regenerate, receiving positive energy from the land. Each day begins with a morning flow yoga session, followed by a nourishing, freshly prepared brunch made with seasonal produce from the villa’s own farm. Afternoons are free to explore—whether you’d like to hike coastal trails in Vendicari, cycle through the countryside, or discover the artistic streets of Noto. In the evening, we gather for yin or restorative yoga, followed by a delicious, home-cooked dinner prepared by our Ayurvedic retreat chef, highlighting the freshest Sicilian flavors. During your stay, you’ll also enjoy a holistic massage workshop, where you’ll learn how to use hand-blended herbal oils and acupressure points to release stress and restore balance. Other optional activities are available to enrich your journey, though the rhythm of the retreat is intentionally slow and informal, giving you plenty of space to simply be. This Sicily retreat is designed to help you reconnect with yourself—whether you’re sharing the experience with friends or partners, or traveling solo on a deeper inner journey. Surrounded by the beauty of Zen Sicily, you’ll find yourself nourished, restored, and inspired.
