Greece

a greek island getaway

On this 6-night, 7-day fitness retreat to the Ionian island of Zakynthos we'll stay in a luxury villa with spectacular views out over the sea.

Known for it's jaw-dropping limestone cliffs and electric blue waters, and home of the infamous Navagio Beach shipwreck, Zakynthos is a Greek island paradise. We’ve handpicked this villa in the quiet, charming north-west of the island, to give you a taste of the real Zakynthos, and a true ‘retreat’ experience.

Itinerary

Day 1

a Greek summer starts here

Arrive anytime after 4 pm and settle in for an incredible week. Get unpacked, meet your new friends by the pool and unwind with a guided recovery session to shake off travel-day. As the sun sets, enjoy our first group dinner overlooking the Ionian sea, and toast to an epic week ahead.

Day 2

workout, Chill, Sunbake

Kick off our first full-day with a team workout and a big breakfast. Hit the sun-loungers poolside before our guided mobility session and a big Greek lunch. Kick back for an afternoon of chill with your new friends before we go again for sweat number 2.

Day 3

Shipwreck adventures

Enjoy an incredible morning group run through the beautiful countryside and down to one of the best viewpoints in all of Greece. Soak up the views and the spectacular blues of the crystal-clear sea. Back at the villa, we'll recover with ice baths before breakfast. The rest of the day is more tanning, chilling and recovery before workout number 2 and a big sunset dinner.

Day 4

Beaches, Caves And Saltiness

Kick off the day with a big team workout, and brekkie before we head to the port for the best, blue-est Boat Day we know. Lunch, drinks and tunes are served up on board, and we'll cliff-jump, swim to hidden bays, and into secret caves til we're suitably salty. Wind down back at the villa with a wood-fire pizza night and sunset before bed.

Day 5

Sweat, Relax And Feast

Another day doing what we do best. Down-time is spent enjoying massages and kicking back by the pool, before we get our best fits on for an evening out at our favourite beachfront restaurant on the island. We'll soak up the sunset over ice cold drinks and share plate fulls of some of the freshest, tastiest farm-to-table Greek food you'll ever have.

Day 6

Workouts, Chill And Farewell Dinner

Last full day together so let's make it a good one, with workouts, recovery and heaps of down-time soaking up the sunshine with your new mates. A special farewell dinner is in order for our final night together, so one last sunset swim before we hit the dinner table.

Day 7

farewells

Checkout is at 10 am, so there's time to squeeze in one more sunrise workout, a cool-off in the pool, and a big breakfast to see you on your way. Hugs all round, but it's not goodbye, it's see you on the next adventure.

“Is it possible to give 6 stars out of 5? Mike and Amy have built something incredible with Salt Escapes. It's the perfect holiday - so well balanced between working out, relaxing, making new friends, and eating delicious food. It's one of the best holidays I've ever had, and will not hesitate to book another one for next year. The trips are for EVERYONE! The villa is stunning, the views are unmatched, and the day on the boat is just perfect. Best week ever 🥰”

"Can not say enough wonderful things about Salt Escapes. I speak with my actions and am just finishing my second trip with them (there will definitely be a third). They do an incredible job curating the destinations, accommodations and food. Most importantly though, they build an amazing community. Their attention to detail is unmatched.  The best tour operator I have ever used."

"I can’t put into words just how amazing Salt Escapes is! Mike & Amy have truly created something special, bringing together like-minded people for the most incredible experience.
I’ve done two trips (Zakynthos and Costa Rica) and am already planning trip number three! Salt Escapes is the perfect balance of adventure, fitness and fun. The team are so welcoming, the workouts are challenging, but, rewarding, and there is good balance of activity and downtime. If you’re even thinking about it, just do it!"

"THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE! I don’t even know where to start with my review. Hands down the best investment I have ever made. I truly believe that what you get with Salt Escapes is unique. I have been on other group exercise holidays before and met amazing people, but this was something else. There are so many little thoughtful added extras that make this trip perfect. It’s been a week since I returned, and I am still absolutely buzzing. I can’t wait to go on the next Escape."

"Fantastic week with top tier trainers, diverse individual and team-based work-outs along with wholesome/high-quality restaurant grade food to fuel you through the sessions (seconds encouraged). Plenty to do away from exercise (boat trips, downtime etc) and left feeling much fitter and stronger as well as surprisingly refreshed."

The scenery - breathtaking, the food - fresh, healthy & delicious, the workouts - challenging & exhilarating, the friendships you form, the hospitality of Mike & Amy and of the villa staff - it's simply unmatched."
