Sardinia is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets — a rugged island kissed by turquoise seas, golden light, and ancient mystery. Here, time slows down. The rhythm is set by sea breezes, the scent of myrtle and wild herbs, and long, lingering meals under the sun.

From its hidden coves and limestone cliffs to the pastel villages and mountain shepherd paths, Sardinia offers a raw, untouched beauty that stirs the soul. This is a place where you can exhale. Where you can remember the simple joy of being alive. And where every moment — a sip of wine, a dip in crystalline waters, a shared glance — becomes a memory you’ll carry for a lifetime.

Join us in discovering the Sardinia you won’t find in the guidebooks — heartful, grounded, and utterly unforgettable.

Who is this retreat for?

For the woman who knows life is meant to be savored…

Join a circle of soulful, adventurous women for a sun-drenched escape into the heart of Sardinia.

This is not your typical tour or retreat. It’s a getaway for the senses — a celebration of beauty, pleasure, and secret treasures tucked away from the tourist trail. Together, we’ll explore hidden coves, ancient sacred sites, and the timeless rhythm of Sardinian village life, all woven with heartfelt stories and local expertise.

This journey invites you to slow down, indulge your senses, and connect deeply — to the land, to each other, and to yourself.

Unforgettable delicious meals by the sea

What will we do?

We’ll sip wine at sunset from the hilltop of old Cagliari, dive into turquoise waters off the Baunei coast, and dine by candlelight on authentic Sardinian cuisine. Days will be filled with salt air, laughter, long table lunches, and spontaneous dancing. Nights will be starlit, story-rich, and softly luxurious.

You may have the universe, if I may have Italy.
— Giuseppe Verdi, Italian composer

Day 1-3: Old town cagliari, hotel villa fanny

Our journey begins in the vibrant marina of Cagliari, a city kissed by the sea and steeped in ancient history—from Roman ruins to Carthaginian relics to the whispers of Goddess cults that once flourished here. We’ll ease into the magic with sunset aperitivos in the old city, where golden light bathes stone streets and the air is thick with beauty and possibility.

The next morning, we’ll be guided by a local expert—a journalist and keeper of Sardinia’s sacred feminine history—on a gentle ceremonial walk through La Sella del Diavolo, the “Devil’s Saddle.” This wild, herb-scented walk leads us to the sea, where we’ll pause to open our senses and welcome the spirit of the land. Our path ends at a pristine, semi-private beach for a slow, joyful seaside lunch and swim in crystalline waters.

After a restful afternoon, we’ll gather for a traditional Sardinian dinner, complete with folk music and dance—an immersion into the island’s soulful rhythms.


Day 3-4: Mountains of Baunei

The next day brings sweetness, quite literally. We’ll visit a local honey farm to taste Sardinia’s famed golden nectar, then wander through secret artisan shops and bakeries. Later, we’ll head to Costa Rei—one of Sardinia’s most spectacular beaches—for a long, luxurious lunch and time to soak in the turquoise waters.

As the sun begins to lower, we’ll visit the island’s ancient Nuraghe and Tomba dei Giganti—mystical megalithic sites—before making our way to the mountain village of Baunei. There, we’ll rest in a charming boutique hotel nestled between sea breezes and warm stone cliffs.

Our next adventure takes us through the awe-inspiring Gorropu Valley, home to towering rock formations and quiet majesty. From there, we descend to Cala Gonone, a quaint seaside village where we’ll stay at La Conchiglia, and enjoy a soul-warming dinner prepared by a local couple—think velvety handmade pastas and comforting flavors passed down through generations.


day 4-6: cala gonone, coast of baunei, Hotel La conchiglia

The following day is pure dreamscape: a full-day private boat tour along the coast of Baunei, often called the most beautiful coastline in Europe. We’ll glide into sea caves like mermaids, lounge on secluded beaches, and dine on the boat with the Mediterranean as our tablecloth. The waters here are impossibly clear, and the coastline is otherworldly in its beauty.

That evening, we head inland to Dorgali for a rustic agriturismo dinner—your chance to try wild boar stew, goat, or other traditional Sardinian dishes, made with love by local hands.


day 6-7: cagliari, santa cristina + our farewell, Hotel il Gallo bianco

On our final full day, we journey to Santa Cristina, a 3,500-year-old sacred site shaped like a woman’s vulva—an architectural ode to the women who came before us and the sacred island. Descend into its stone womb and feel the ancient pulse of Ichnusa, this land of mystery and myth where the Goddess still lives.

Our last evening brings us full circle, back to Cagliari for a celebratory night of live music, laughter, and an exquisite outdoor dinner in the marina, featuring some of the best pizza and pasta Sardinia has to offer.

We will also visit and hold ritual at a very significant and sacred ancient site. This site is over 3,500 years old and is built in the shape of a woman’s vulva. It is a beautiful and transformative experience and our honor to take you there.
