MOVE WELL RETREATS
PUGLIA, ITALY
12 - 17TH JUNE 2027
5 NIGHTS
Set within a beautiful masseria in Puglia, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Our days are guided by movement, sunshine, good food and rest. Each morning begins with Mat Pilates, focussed on intentional movement that awakens and connects the mind and body. As the sun begins to set, movement becomes softer. Gentle stretch sessions create a space to unwind, release and relax.
In between, the time is yours. Relax by the pool. Wander through the masseria’s olive groves. Explore Lecce's baroque streets or the beautiful Puglian coastline. Find a quiet corner with a book. Move, rest, explore - you’re free to choose whatever feels right for you.
Your meals are thoughtfully curated, filled with the famous flavours of Salento, prepared by chefs that are experts in vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
This retreat is for those who want to step away from the pace of everyday life. Give yourself the space to reset, and return home feeling recharged, inspired and more connected to what matters.

“I've been to two of Ellie's Pilates retreats, and I honestly can't recommend them enough! I usually go solo, and it's the perfect way to reset and do something for myself. It's actually helped boost my confidence too! I think everyone should experience one of Ellie's retreats - you'll love it.
