“The best thing I could do for myself. I have never felt so much gratitude, love, connection, and self appreciation. This trip is life changing and if you are looking for a sign – do it.”
A Mandarin Oriental Home
The essence of sustainable luxury: a private Masseria in the heart of Puglia.
Reconnect with yourself and nature’s rhythm in a private, lovingly restored 17th-century estate, nestled in a quiet valley surrounded by vineyards and terraced gardens. From hand-carved bathtubs to trulli-style ceilings and sun-drenched courtyards, every detail invites stillness and awe. A journey that leads you through olive groves and stone paths into an atmosphere of spaciousness, softness, and renewal.

-
The Muse Retreat is not a template or a program, it is a highly curated, intimate experience designed for transformation on every level. With only 10–12 women, each moment is thoughtfully crafted, from the flow of our days to the intentional practices that guide you deeper into yourself.
Unlike other retreats, The Muse Retreat blends feminine awakening, mindfulness, and ritual with moments of deep stillness, nature immersion, and intentional community. We weave together astrology, embodiment practices, guided meditations, energy healing, wellness, and archetypal work — all while nourishing you with a private chef, stunning surroundings, and a beautiful rhythm of group connection balanced with solitude.
It is more than a retreat, it is an initiation. And, as one of our guests has said: it is “an experience that changes everything.” Women leave changed, carrying not only memories but also a feeling of empowerment, new insights, lasting friendships, and an awakened sense of self they bring back into their lives.

Many women come to The Muse Retreat having never attended a retreat before, and we create a warm, inclusive environment where you will feel supported from the moment you arrive. Every experience is guided with care, so there is nothing you need to prepare for — just bring an open heart and a willingness to receive.
-
If something within you feels called to be there, we invite you to trust that whisper. The Muse Retreat is designed for women who crave deeper connection: to themselves, to their feminine essence, and to a community of like-hearted women. You do not need to have it all figured out, be in a “perfect” place in life, or know exactly what you are seeking. If you long for spaciousness, renewal, and a return to yourself, this retreat will meet you exactly where you are.
-
Yes, most women come solo. The Muse Retreat is intentionally designed to create a sense of deep belonging. Within the first day, you will feel part of a community of like-minded women, and many guests leave with lifelong friendships. There is also plenty of time for rest and solitude when you need it.
-
If you book a shared room, you are paired with another guest, or you are welcome to book with a friend. Shared rooms tend to create beautiful, unexpected connections, but you will always have enough space to retreat and recharge on the property.
-
We offer a range of single rooms — from charming Trulli bedrooms to spacious suites and even a private residence. These rooms are perfect if you desire privacy, quiet reflection, or simply a sanctuary to return to at the end of the day.
-
The retreat offers a thoughtful balance of guided group practices, workshops, and circles alongside ample free time to rest, swim, journal, or explore. While there are core moments we experience together, we also offer optional experiences — and you are always encouraged to honor your own rhythm.
-
Not at all. Every practice is designed to be gentle, accessible, and supportive, no matter your experience level. Whether you are brand-new or seasoned, you will be guided every step of the way and invited to connect with your body and breath at your own pace.
-
Our private chef creates seasonal, garden-to-table menus inspired by the region, highlighting fresh, nourishing ingredients. We happily accommodate most dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergies — simply let us know when you register.
-
Absolutely. The Muse Retreat warmly embraces transgender women and LGBTQ+ individuals. We believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity, honoring each woman’s unique identity and expression.
-
Our community is global, bringing together women from across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and beyond. This beautiful mix of cultures and stories creates a powerful collective energy: one of openness, shared wisdom, and connection.
-
Our circles bring together women from their early 20s to their 60s and beyond. What truly matters is your openness to explore, connect, and be part of a community of women supporting women. The diversity of ages creates a beautiful depth in our conversations and connections, with wisdom and perspective flowing naturally between generations.
-
The retreat is led in English, but our guests are international, and women from all countries and native languages are welcome.
-
Because of the intimate nature of the retreat, all bookings are non-refundable. This is why we require travel insurance, which covers unexpected events, so you can book with confidence and peace of mind.
-
To protect both your investment and your experience. Travel insurance ensures you are covered in case of illness, cancellations, or unforeseen circumstances, allowing you to fully relax and focus on the retreat.
-
Yes! We offer an optional Integration Day at the end of the retreat, giving you the opportunity to stay an extra night. It includes three meals, spacious time to integrate, and one final morning together — a gentle close before you return home. You can book the Integration Day at checkout.
