Sol & Apricus Retreats are all-inclusive wellness retreats focused on mindful movement (yoga + running/fitness), nourishing meals, and immersive local experiences. Below are the essentials for what’s included, where we go, who leads, and how to book.

  • We are a small team of movement specialists, nutritionists, and world travelers dedicated to the art of slowing down. Led by Trip Designer Gillian Song and Mindful Movement Instructor Angela James, we believe that luxury isn't just about five-star stays—it’s about the stillness found in nature and the strength found in mindful movement and connections with likeminded people."

  • We blend the science of functional fitness with the restorative power of holistic nutrition. Our retreats aren't about rigid schedules; they are about 'mindful running' through medieval Italian lanes and sunrise yoga on mist-shrouded terraces. We prioritize genuine human connection and sustainable wellness over quick fixes.

  • We design experiences for the modern traveler who values depth over distance. Whether you are an avid runner looking to reconnect with your stride or a busy professional seeking a sanctuary for nourishment, you belong here. We welcome those who crave fitness, luxury, and a seat at a communal table filled with farm-to-table meals.
