This Meditation retreat takes place along the stunning Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, the “Coast of the Gods”, where white cliffs meet turquoise waters and hidden coves were once believed to be the home of the gods. Just minutes from Tropea, “Borgo dei Borghi 2021” and the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian”, the town delights with golden sunsets over Stromboli and authentic southern Italian charm. Its breathtaking scenery has inspired films, including Marvel Studios’ The Marvels (2023). We are thrilled to bring the first meditation retreat to this extraordinary location. For this retreat, we’ve chosen a four-star nature haven just minutes from Tropea’s lively charm, yet quiet and secluded enough to foster focus and inspiration. It offers the ideal setting for masterclasses, reflection, creative growth, and connection. Guests can enjoy a private beach with crystal-clear waters and gourmet cuisine. Each modern room with a private terrace combines comfort with eco-sustainability, creating a space where untouched nature meets elegance and genuine hospitality.
