The Sicilian Summer Reset

With Chloe Keeps Travelling & Carly Harris
July 27th – August 1st | Ortigia Island, Sicily
£1,500 per person

A summer reset designed for Mums who need a breather.

This is your invitation to pause, recharge, and spend five sun-filled days on the beautiful island of Ortigia, Sicily — moving your body, enjoying good food, connecting with other women, and creating space to reset.

Hosted by Chloe of Chloe Keeps Travelling, a retreat leader, community builder, lifelong traveller and momtrepeneur who lived in Ortigia for seven years. Alongside Carly Harris, well known for her knowledge and expertise in health and fitness for busy Mums as well as sharing the highs and lows of modern day motherhood through her popular social media channels and podcast. This experience blends gentle movement, sea air, sunshine, and meaningful connection.

Think slow mornings by the sea, swims in crystal-clear water, long lunches, and evenings spent watching the sun melt into the Mediterranean.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about feeling like yourself again.

Why Ortigia?

Ortigia is the historic heart of Syracuse, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Sicily’s south-east coast. It’s a hidden, full of golden stone buildings, ancient Greek ruins, lively markets, beautiful swimming spots, boutique shops, mind blowing cuisine and a coastline that feels made for summer living.

It was my home for seven years — the place where my children were born — and somewhere I know deeply. I can’t wait to share it with you.

What This Reset Is About

This isn’t a retreat where you’re expected to be someone else.

It’s about returning to you:

Creating healthy habits you can take home
Spending time by the sea
Moving your body in a way that feels good
Connecting with other women who get it
Enjoying simple, beautiful Sicilian living
Taking time to breathe and reset
Having fun and being present

The Flow of Your Days

Each day is designed to feel relaxed — structured, but never rushed.

Mornings begin with gentle movement or reflection.
Days are filled with sea swims, amazing locally sourced food, and exploration.
Evenings bring conversation, laughter, and warm Sicilian nights.

You’ll leave feeling lighter — mentally and physically — with habits you can continue at home.

This Is an Investment in Yourself

Taking time away can feel like a luxury — but often, it’s exactly what we need.

Even after leading retreats, I always return home to my family feeling more grounded, calmer, and with my patience restored. That space to pause, breathe, and reset makes me a better mother, partner, and person.

Because the truth is — we can’t work from a half-empty cup.

"I strongly feel that there has never been a generation of women quite like ours. We are expected to birth and hit the ground running at 100mph often without help, understanding or a "village". We are required to be present mothers, build careers, maintain homes, nurture relationships, care for our physical health, and protect our mental wellbeing — all at the same time."

It’s a heavy load.

This reset is about giving yourself permission to step away for a few days — not to escape your life, but to return to it feeling stronger, clearer, and more like yourself again.

Come Alone — Leave With New Friends

Many women join us on their own, and that’s exactly how this experience is designed.

You don’t need to bring a friend — you’ll find your people here.

Before the retreat, you’ll receive a short questionnaire so we can pair you with the most suitable roommate. Our aim is to make you feel comfortable from the very beginning.

And honestly? Some of the best friendships start here — with women who truly get it.

And Yes — It’s Also A Lot of Fun

Because how often do we get to spend uninterrupted time with a group of other women who understand the juggle of everyday life?

Think laughter over long lunches, swims in warm Sicilian waters, wandering through sunlit streets — and yes, sipping an Aperol spritz in the sunshine with women who just get it.

This isn’t about strict schedules or pressure.

It’s about joy, connection, movement, and making space for yourself.

Who This Is Perfect For

This reset is designed especially for:

• Mums who feel tired, stretched, or in need of space
• Women wanting to build healthier routines
• Anyone craving sunshine, sea air, and connection
• Women travelling solo who want to feel welcomed
• Those wanting a supportive and uplifting group experience

You don’t need to be fit.
You don’t need to have done anything like this before.

You just need to come as you are.
