Meditation retreats

Are you yearning for stillness? A meditation retreat can help you relax your body, craft mental clarity, cultivate mindfulness and nourish a profound sense of self.

Our meditation retreats welcome everyone, from novices who want to learn a new technique to seasoned pros looking for a deeper dive.

Some retreats merge meditation with pursuits like breathwork, yoga or hiking, while specialist meditation retreats let you learn and explore specific forms including Buddhist, Vipassana and Vedic Meditation, so that you can bring the technique back into your everyday life.

Whichever type of meditation retreat you choose, you’ll leave with a rejuvenated spirit and a tool for life.

Reviews of retreats in Italy

This glorious country has plenty to offer - from ancient culture and landmarks to a sweeping Mediterranean coastline.

Soak up the Italian sun, and rest and recover at one of our wellness retreats, where you’ll enjoy food flavoured with local oregano, rosemary and basil.

If you’re after a more remote, enclosed environment, where you will feel cosseted away from the madding crowd, opt for a restorative hermitage in the Umbrian countryside, where time stands still and the schedule is to do nothing. You can also experience slow living in Tuscany, where you can join a group retreat or hire the venue with friends and family.

Whether you want to recover from trauma at a picture postcard retreat in the stunning South Tyrol, join a sociable writing retreat on a country estate in Umbria, sample ayurveda in Sicily or enjoy a soothing spa hotel in the Puglian countryside, the choice is huge!
