Sicilian Summer Reset 2.0

For the woman who does too much for everyone else.
Six days to step away, breathe deeply, and remember what it feels like to feel like yourself.

Two departures · July & August 2027 · Ortigia Island, Sicily

Two departures: July 2027 between the 22nd and 31st, with the exact dates to be confirmed shortly. (Chloe & Carly)  •  August 23–28, 2027 (Chloe)  •  Ortigia Island, Sicily  •  Women only reset!

You're not lazy.
You're not failing.
You're just tired.

Tired of carrying the mental load. Tired of rushing through life. Tired of never fully switching off.

The Sicilian Summer Reset was created for women who need a few days to step away from the noise, breathe deeply again, and remember what it feels like to feel like themselves.

  • Not a strict wellness retreat
  • Not a bootcamp
  • Not five days of forced self-improvement

This is a beautifully balanced escape on the island of Ortigia, Sicily — designed for rest, connection, movement, sunshine, sea air, good food, and the kind of conversations that only happen when women finally have space to exhale.

Wellness Experiences

Following the incredible success of our first Sicilian Summer Reset, we're returning with the same carefully curated itinerary that guests loved, with a few beautiful new additions.

New

Sunrise Gratitude Session

Begin your day with intention during a one-time sunrise gratitude session overlooking the Mediterranean. This gentle, guided practice is designed to set the tone for the rest of your retreat.

New

Sound Healing Workshop

Immerse yourself in the vibrations of crystal singing bowls and Tibetan gongs. A deeply restorative experience for body and mind.

New

Guided Morning Coastal Walk

Explore Ortigia's stunning coastline on foot. Fresh sea air, gentle movement, and views that will take your breath away.

New

Moonlit Release Ceremony

Under the Sicilian moonlight, release what no longer serves you. A powerful, moving ritual by the sea.

A different kind of healing

Healing comes in many forms.

Sometimes it's found in a quiet moment watching the sunrise, journaling by the sea, moving your body, or finally allowing yourself to rest.

But healing can also look like uncontrollable laughter, deep conversations over dinner, dancing under the stars, clinking cocktail glasses with new friends, jumping off boats into crystal-clear water, and remembering what it feels like to simply have fun again.

Because the Sicilian Summer Reset isn't about being serious all week. It's about creating space for whatever you need most.

There will be moments of reflection and release. There will be moments of growth and connection. And there will also be plenty of fun, adventure, laughter, beach days, sunset aperitivos, nights out, cocktails, dancing, and yes... jumping off boats is absolutely on the itinerary.

"Our goal is simple: for you to leave Sicily feeling lighter, happier, more connected to yourself, and with a wonderful group of women you can call friends long after the week is over."

Slow mornings. Clear water. Golden evenings.

Yoga in the Sun

Slow Mornings

Coffee in the Sicilian sunshine. No alarms. No rushing. Just the sound of the sea and time that actually feels like yours.

Swimming in clear water

Swim in Clear Water

Two boat trips along the coast. Swimming in turquoise water so clear it doesn't feel real. A full beach day with nowhere else to be.

Sunset aperitivo

Aperitivo at Sunset

Evenings that stretch into golden hour. Long conversations with women who simply get it. Laughter that comes easily when you're not carrying the weight of the world.

Leave it all behind

This week is yours. No obligations. No expectations. Just space to be exactly who you are.

No school runs
No endless to-do lists
No cooking for everyone else
No pressure to "perform wellness"

Meet the women behind the magic

Chloe hosts both departures. Carly joins for the July trip only.

Host · Founder, Chloe Keeps Travelling

I created The Sicilian Summer Reset because I know what it's like to carry the mental load until you forget what rest feels like. I’ve spent the last 16 years traveling and living overseas, and creating these retreats for women is my passion. They combine my love of travel and meaningful experiences while creating a space where women can reconnect with the parts of themselves they may have been neglecting. Ortigia was my home for seven years, and I can’t wait to share its beauty, charm, and magic with you.

Wellness Host · Creator of Not As We Planned

I'm a solo mum with a big Instagram community and the podcast Not As We Planned, where I talk openly about modern day solo motherhood and how to stay healthy in a way that actually feels achievable, not overwhelming. I'll be joining the July departure, sharing this retreat on my Instagram, and I can't wait to meet you in Sicily. This trip is about real rest, real connection, and giving yourself permission to slow down without guilt.
