Overview
Our BEST LIFE EVER series of retreats this year begins on Italy's Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world and one of the most magical places on earth!
Our experience includes incredible natural wonders - like hot spring and gorgeous gardens that visitors to this area never see. We will be visiting the thermal springs including those found on the Island of Ischia on the Amalfi portion of the trip and then Satrunia and San Fillipo on the Tuscany portion. Most of these natural healing places in Italy are off the beaten tourist track and quite difficult to get to, unless you know how - which we do! The waters found in these natural oasis help to heal the body and rejuvenate the spirit, though in addition to these natural wonders we will have the experience to enjoy crystal clear blue seas on the Amalfi Coast and around the Island of Capri and visit some of Italy's most beautiful gardens like the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello.
In addition to such fantastic natural wonders that very few people ever get to visit in Italy, we will also be visiting incredibly interesting places of culture and antiquity like Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius and many of the gorgeous towns and cities along the Amalfi Coast itself. The entire experience is grounded with delicious local food (which is always organic and healthy) and English speaking guides who can bring the history of these beautiful places to life!
We will be staying in a magnificent location with fantastic views towards the island of Capri and the Bay of Naples, home to the islands of Ischia, Procida and numerous others including the most famous island of Capri with its Blue Grotto.
Our journey includes all of the tours listed in the program, daily buffet breakfast at the villa, most meals, entrance fees, transportation transfers, and above and beyond all else: a wonderful group of conscious and forward thinking people who are determined to connect, create and experience community. Lasting connection is the foundation of the BEST LIFE EVER experience.
You only have one chance at life! Join us to make it your BEST LIFE EVER!

This morning upon your arrival in Naples (no matter where that is - airport - hotel - or train station) wherever you need to be met, we will be meeting you to bring you to our exclusive villa location on the world's most beautiful stretch of coast, Italy's Amalfi Coast. Along the way, you will be able to stop for photographs at a variety of scenic points.
Upon arrival at the villa, you will have time to relax, settle into your room, enjoy the pool and get to know the other group members.
This evening, pool-side at 18:00 we will have an orientation meeting and you will enjoy an Italian "Apperativo" with a variety of local specialty cocktails to be enjoyed (both alcoholic and alcohol free). Here, we will discuss the upcoming weeks many activities ahead and have a get-to-know you session followed by a welcome dinner.
Our welcome dinner this evening is going to be held in an exclusive restaurant with some of the finest, local and organic food from this area including swordfish, lemon risotto, italian style "sushi", vegan specialties and foods that are prepared with ingredients that are produced directly from the garden. ​
Overnight in Paradise at the Villa.

In Ravello, you will have a chance to visit the town which is one of the best known in Italy for ceramic works. Dozens of local artisans show-case their works here.

Where we Visit : Pompeii, Sorrento,
On a fateful summer's day in 79 A.D., Mt. Vesuvius erupted, spewing volcanic ash over the prosperous city of Pompeii. Unaware of the imminent danger, most people continued on with their daily lives and as a result the entire town and around 20,000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice. Almost 2,000 years later, you have the opportunity to explore the site of this famous disaster and see first-hand the houses, streets and public buildings miraculously preserved by the volcanic ash.
Expect to receive VIP skip-the-line-tickets on our private tours of Pompeii and other sites throughout Italy!
Where we Visit : Ischia,
The island of Ischia is considered by Italians to be like the "Hawaii" of the Mediterranean. It's a completely tropical and magical island covered with natural hot-springs and natural thermal waters that have incredible health benefits.
Today we will explore the island and visit the Nitrodi natural springs where there are over 100 natural pools of different spring water.
We’ll return at 19:00 from Ischia to Naples and transfer back to the villa for dinner and overnight.
Where we Visit : Sorrento,
For those that would like to attend, there is a dance this evening in an exclusive private villa like you have never seen before! A high-end gala, The Fall Ball, will be taking place in Florence and will be sure to impress! Exquisite costumes, music, dancing, socializing, the Fall Ball will be the can’t miss highlight of the week.
As the Fall Ball will run late, to around midnight, we ask that you have all your things ready to go for the next morning after this evenings activities.
