The Zakynthos Escape
Ready to discover hidden beaches, swim in the bluest water you’ve ever laid eyes on, and workout under the Greek sun? Then we’ll meet you on our favourite Greek island for the week of a lifetime.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Cruise the Ionian Sea on a private luxury yacht for our infamous Boat Day, ticking off the Blue Caves & Navagio Shipwreck Beach, before we take you to our favourite hidden bays.
Train in our best-equipped villa featuring a full gym setup, including Concept2 ergs, dumbbells, sandbags, kettlebells, wall balls, plus boxing sessions on the helipad.
Swim and cliff jump in the incredible Ionian - if you feel up for the challenge, take the leap from limestone cliffs straight into the crystal clear waters, to the cheers of your crew.
Earn your view with a morning countryside and coastal run to the iconic Shipwreck Beach lookout. It’s one for the bucket list. Then back to the villa for recovery ice baths.
Unwind in your luxury cliffside villa overlooking the sea, complete with an infinity pool, tennis court, sunset terraces to share Greek feasts, and outdoor lounge areas for sun-soaked hangs with new friends.
Stretch it out with recovery yoga sessions with a salty sea-breeze, plunge into ice baths to soothe sore muscles, and enjoy a well-earned massage with the backdrop of the Ionian.
