RE-AWAKEN
SPRING YOGA RETREAT IN SICILY
24 APRIL – 1 MAY 2027
A sun-soaked, soul-nourishing escape to the south-eastern corner of Sicily.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and breath, and move gently with the rhythm of summer. Expect deeply held yoga practices, beautiful food, open skies, and time to truly exhale.
Why join?

• A nourishing pause •
Set in a restored 19th-century farmhouse nestled in 80 acres of olive and almond groves, this retreat offers a blend of comfort, nature and stillness.
-
• Held by experienced, heart-led teachers •
Margherita share a 30+ years of experience in yoga, meditation and holistic wellbeing, offering both structure and spaciousness in their teaching.
-
• Balance of practice + play •
Morning and evening yoga, delicious Sicilian food, white-sand beaches, and a mid-week boat trip to swim in crystal-clear waters. This is summer, softened.
A Rhythm to Return to
Each day begins with a dynamic, alignment-based yoga practice, awakening the body, breath and energy for the day ahead.
Afternoons are yours to enjoy at your own pace. Relax by the pool, find a quiet corner with a good book, enjoy a treatment, or explore the beautiful countryside and coastline surrounding Roccaseta.
We are perfectly placed for discovering this very special corner of south-eastern Sicily, from the Baroque beauty and winding streets of Scicli, to the beaches of Sampieri and Donnalucata, and the charming coastal villages dotted along the shoreline.
Evening practices are gentle, restorative and grounding, allowing the body to integrate the day and ease naturally towards deep rest.
Mid-week is our free day, giving you time to explore further afield or simply stay at Roccaseta and enjoy doing very little. For those who wish, we will also organise a boat trip along the beautiful Sicilian coast, with plenty of time to swim, snorkel and soak up the Mediterranean sunshine and sea.

Accommodation & Pricing
Our home for the week is Roccaseta, a beautifully restored Sicilian country estate near Scicli, surrounded by olive and carob trees and the peaceful landscape of south-eastern Sicily.
Roccaseta combines traditional Sicilian character with understated contemporary comfort. Natural stone, warm earthy tones and beautifully considered spaces create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and wonderfully relaxed — the perfect setting to slow down, practise, rest and enjoy the rhythm of Sicilian life.
The bedrooms are individually styled with a calm, natural aesthetic, and all offer private ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning. Depending on the room, you’ll enjoy views across the gardens, surrounding countryside or towards the sea.

Getting There
A group transfer from and to the airport is included in the cost of the holiday and will meet the following suggested flights from London Gatwick to Catania (CTA) in Sicily.
Flight details
Easyjet or British Airway
24/4/27 - Dep 16.45 from London Gatwick Arv 20.45 Catania
Easyjet
1/5/27 Dep 16:30 from Catania Arv 18:50 London Gatwick
We recommend that you book these flights to be included in the group transfer but if you prefer to book alternative flights and make your own way to the venue this will be at your own cost. At the time of writing these flights are reasonable but will go up nearer to the time so we recommend booking early. Cheaper flights maybe available but they either depart very early or arrive late so we chose these as the most convenient.
The transfer is approximately 75 mins and would cost €60 - €120 in a private taxi depending on what car is available.
You could also make holiday and why not make a longer trip of it? Sicily is full of beauty. You might choose to visit Ortigia (a romantic peninsula near Syracuse), Noto (a UNESCO Baroque town), Taormina (a chic hilltop town with sea views), Marzemini or Scicli or even hike Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano.
