Zakynthos Fitness Retreat, Greece | Salt Escapes

Your Week

Day By Day

Sunday

A Greek Summer Starts Here

Arrive anytime after 4pm and step into your cliffside retreat for the week. Unpack, take in the unreal Ionian Sea views, and meet your new crew by the infinity pool. Shake off travel day with a guided recovery session, then settle in for our first group dinner, served al fresco with 180° sunset views over the sea. Raise a glass - it’s time to toast to an epic week ahead.

Monday

Sweat, Sun & Greek Feasts

We start strong with a high-energy team workout, setting the tone for the week ahead. A big, chef-prepared breakfast fuels the morning, before some well-earned downtime poolside on the sun loungers. Midday brings a guided mobility session to reset and recover, followed by a long, lazy Greek lunch. The afternoon is yours to chill, recharge, and soak up the Ionian vibes - before we ramp it up again for sweat session number two.

Tuesday

Shipwreck Views & Ionian Blues

Lace up for an epic morning run through Zakynthos’ rugged countryside, ending at one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Greece - overlooking the legendary Navagio Shipwreck and the unreal electric blue waters of the Ionian Sea. Back at the villa, we’ll reset with ice baths before a well-earned breakfast. The afternoon is all about tanning, chilling, and recovery, before we gear up for workout number two. As the sun sets over the sea, we’ll come together for another big Greek feast.

Wednesday

Boat Day!

We start the day strong with a big team workout and fuel up with breakfast before heading to the port for the best, bluest Boat Day we know. With lunch, drinks, and tunes flowing on board, we’ll cruise past white limestone cliffs, dive into hidden bays, and swim through secret sea caves. Expect cliff jumps, crystal-clear waters, and salty skin. Back at the villa, we’ll unwind with a wood-fired pizza night as the sun sets over the Ionian.

Thursday

Sweat, Recover & A Greek Feast

The morning kicks off with a team workout, followed by massages, yoga and poolside lounging to reset and recharge. ‍As the sun starts to dip, we’ll head out for a special dinner at one of the best restaurants on the island. Set right on the water, they serve up some of the freshest, most authentic Greek dishes you’ll ever taste. With ice-cold drinks and unreal flavors, it’s the perfect way to toast an epic week.

Friday

Sweat, Sun & A Sunset Send-Off

Our last full day together, so we’re making every moment count. The morning kicks off with a sweat session, followed by plenty of time to relax, recover, and soak up the Greek sunshine with your crew. Later, we’ll turn up the energy for boxing on the helipad, then cool off in the pool with sunset drinks and one last team photo! Then it's time for our final feast - a big Greek BBQ and a toast to new mates and an unforgettable week.

Saturday

So Long, For Now

Checkout may be at 10am, but there's still time for one last sunrise workout, a cool-off in the pool, and a final big breakfast to fuel the journey home. Hugs all around, but this isn't goodbye - it's just see you on the next adventure.

Salt Escapes was truly such a special experience

“Salt Escapes was truly such a special experience. From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully put together, and the energy of the entire retreat was incredible. Amy and Mike were amazing coaches and genuinely wonderful people. They created such a welcoming, encouraging environment while still making every session challenging and rewarding. You could really tell how much care they put into the experience and into everyone who attended. The villa was absolutely beautiful and felt like the perfect setting to disconnect, recharge, and just be present. And the food deserves its own shoutout - having a private chef throughout the retreat was such a treat. Every meal was incredible, and it made the whole experience feel even more special. But honestly, what stood out most was the energy. There was such a great group of people, and everything felt effortless, positive, and fun. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and already wanting to come back. Couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes enough. If you’re considering going, just book it. You won’t regret it. 🤍”

Mike and Amy have nailed it

“Mike and Amy have nailed it! What more can I say..! Incredible week with great, thought over workouts. Netty provided the most delicious meals throughout the week. Holly did the perfect yoga sessions, focusing on exactly what we all wanted and needed. The pre-retreat nerves disappeared as soon as I arrived, everyone was so welcoming and made you feel right at home. They even put up decorations and baked a cake for my birthday! They have definitely managed to create a retreat with the perfect balance being fitness and relaxation. The team were all so lovely, everything exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy I took that step out of my comfort zone and booked! Missing everyone already and would definitely book again!”

“I’ve been recently in Greece for my first Salty Escape, the experience was amazing! Amy and Mike designed a balanced plan, with great workouts, yoga sessions, healthy/tasty food; nothing was missing… The social part was also nice, as you meet new friends and share the villa and the all experience. Definitely recommended!”

In the airport headed home from my favorite holiday to date…

“In the airport headed home from my favorite holiday to date, pinching myself over how lucky I am to have experienced the magic that is Salt Escapes. I’ve always wanted to do a fitness retreat, but pilates and yoga retreats seemed to be what was most commonly out there, and I wanted something a little more fast-paced. Salt Escapes was exactly what I had been looking for, and it’s a week I know I’ll never forget. I left feeling stronger, happier, more knowledgeable, inspired, and with so many new memories. From the euphoric feeling after finishing the ship wreck run, to ice bath dance sessions, cliff jumping on boat day, learning to cook Greek dishes with Mama Deena, rosé recaps in the infinity pool at sunset, and group workouts that proved just how far we can push ourselves. Every day felt like the perfect mix. One of my favorite parts of the retreat was how much it forces you to meet new people. You’re thrown into a week with a group of complete strangers, sharing workouts, meals, car rides, recovery sessions and a villa together, there’s no hiding in your comfort zone which I loved. There’s something really special about meeting people in an environment where everyone is there for the same reason, I genuinely didn’t expect to leave with friendships that felt so natural after just one week. The crew: You can tell that Amy & Mike put their all into finding the best people to support the retreat. Chef Netty made the most incredible, fresh and healthy meals all week long. Who knew there could be that much variety?! She even made a point of personally explaining each dish, which made every meal feel that much more special. We also had a birthday during our retreat, and she casually whipped up a homemade carrot cake with the most beautiful design for us to enjoy! I would argue there is nothing Chef Netty cannot do. Deena, or who I like to call our in-house Greek Mom, made sure we stayed laughing, in line, and making the best freddo espressos on the island. She brought so much fun and energy to the week all while making sure the villa stayed in order. Lastly, a special shoutout to Holley, our yoga instructor. She didn’t just teach yoga, she got involved in the regular workouts, connected with each of us on a personal level, and brought a great level passion to helping us connect our mind, body and breath. She was a huge component to us staying recovered throughout the week. Mike & Amy When you meet Mike & Amy, it’s really no surprise that they have crafted such an incredible company together. Their passion for Salt Escapes, and for one another, is equally special to see. It genuinely feels like they designed Salt Escapes around a “work hard, play hard” mentality, with the perfect amount of fitness and flexibility to still allow for all the other wonderful things that make up a holiday. They pushed us every single day, but also knew when to let us enjoy ourselves. They somehow even knew exactly who to put together during partner workouts so we could feed off each other’s energy. They truly pay attention to every detail, and you can feel that throughout the entire experience. I can’t imagine a future where I don’t prioritize doing a new Salt Escapes adventure every year. I came for the fitness, but I’m leaving with so much more. Thank you Mike & Amy for creating something so special. Until the next one!”

An unforgettable experience with Salt Escapes — 5 stars all round! ⭐️

“I honestly couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes enough. From start to finish, it was such an incredible experience and one I’ll be talking about for a long time! The workouts were next level — challenging, varied and exactly what you want from a fitness retreat. There was definitely no hiding, but the atmosphere, encouragement and energy made even the toughest sessions so enjoyable! 💪🏼 A huge part of what made the retreat so special was Amy and Mike, the coaches. They were absolutely exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and supportive, while making every session fun and inclusive. They pushed us when we needed it, but also created such a positive atmosphere that everyone felt comfortable and encouraged to give their best (AKA me, on the run 😅) One of the biggest highlights was meeting such an amazing group of people from all over the world. It’s incredible how quickly you can connect when you’re all there for the same reason, and I’ve come away with some really special memories, friendships and plenty of laughs along the way. And then there was the food! Having a private chef meant every meal was genuinely exceptional. Delicious, fresh, beautifully presented and definitely not what you’d expect from “fitness retreat food”! Every meal was something to look forward to, and somehow the food just kept getting better. The villa itself was absolutely 5-star — stunning surroundings, beautiful spaces, luxurious bedrooms and the perfect setting to relax and recharge between workouts. It really felt like a little slice of paradise. Salt Escapes has absolutely nailed the balance of hard work, incredible food, luxury, sunshine, laughter and amazing people. I left feeling fitter, energised and completely recharged — and already wishing I could go back! An incredible experience from beginning to end. Thank you Salt Escapes, Amy and Mike — I genuinely cannot wait for the next one! ❤️”

The Salt Escape experience exceeded every expectation

“The Salt Escape experience exceeded every expectation. The villa was top shelf, with incredible views that never got old. Huge thanks to AJ, Sophie, and Lauren for being such amazing hosts and creating an unforgettable experience. The workouts pushed me out of my comfort zone and introduced me to new routines I’m definitely taking home. Netty kept us fueled with incredible meals, and cooking with Dina was a fun surprise. And the boat day? There really aren’t words to do it justice. Grateful for the people, the challenge, the laughs, and the memories. Until next time. 🇬🇷💙”

“What a week at Salt Escapes Zakynthos! The team were amazing, the group workouts were fun, the yoga was the perfect reset, and the food was truly next‑level. Lounging by the pool each day with that insane view was incredible, and boat day was another huge highlight. A few opportunities for improvements, but overall an excellent experience!”

In the airport on the way home from the July 2026 retreat in Zakynthos…

“In the airport on the way home from the July 2026 retreat in Zakynthos Hosts: Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, and Netty—made the trip truly exceptional. They are phenomenal, empathetic individuals who went out of their way to ensure a great experience for everyone. I appreciated how they took the time to get to know me and my story. I also loved the small group size (fewer than 15 people including hosts), which gave the trip a close-knit feel. Salt escapee attracts people who enjoy staying active but also know how to rest. Food: Simply outstanding. As a higher-end retreat, the meals definitely delivered with clean, delicious, and high-quality ingredients. Training: workouts were appropriately challenging, and the group was highly motivated to push themselves, though everyone was free to go at their own pace. I also appreciated the flexibility in the itinerary, which allowed plenty of time for exploring between workouts and meals. Accommodations: Villa was stunning. The views speak for themselves, and the rooms have a lot of character. On this trip, I laughed until I cried, pushed myself physically, and connected with wonderful people from around the world.”

“I booked Salt Escapes Zakynthos at the last minute without really knowing what to expect. Looking back, this past week was one of the best, if not the best, solo trips I’ve ever taken. Highlights were the people and the connections I made, the well-planned workouts, an incredible boat day, amazing food, and getting to relax in a beautiful villa. A huge thank you to Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, Sophie, and Netty. You all made the experience what it was and are an incredible team. If you’re on the fence about booking a Salt Escapes trip, stop thinking about it and just do it. I couldn’t recommend it more.”

I had an incredible week with Salt Escapes in Zakynthos

“I had an incredible week with Salt Escapes in Zakynthos. It was the perfect definition of work hard, play hard - challenging, dynamic workouts balanced with amazing food, drinks, games and plenty of opportunities to unwind. A huge thank you to Eduan for being such a fantastic host, and to coaches Abi, Rachelle and Sophie for bringing so much energy, encouragement and expertise to every session. Special mention also goes to Chef Nesta, whose food was outstanding all week. If you’re looking for a fitness retreat that’s challenging, social and brilliantly organised, I couldn’t recommend Salt Escapes more highly”

“Time flys when you’re having fun (& in a beautiful villa, doing fun workouts and having exciting experiences with the most generous and welcoming team)! Zakynthos was my first experience with Salt Escapes, I travelled solo from Australia and was immediately greeted with so much warmth from the team and members. It was the best week - all my friends back home are super jealous - definitely recommend booking!”

The most balanced and well-rounded vacation you will ever experience…

“The most balanced and well-rounded vacation you will ever experience in terms of physical activity, food, adventure, and social connections! The team is beyond friendly and supportive, ensuring all the guests are comfortable and having a good time while pushing them during workouts to exceed their fitness goals. If you get any combination of Eduan, Abi, Rachelle, or Sophie, you will be entertained and grateful for every second of your trip. The villa on Zakynthos island in Greece is a dream and the boat day in the Mediterranean Sea was breathtaking. Get ready to run a lot (don't worry, you can do it), sweat it out with team circuits, eat clean homemade meals, laugh really hard at all the personalities and inside jokes, and be challenged in the best ways possible. Just book it 💜”

Just back from Zakynthos and Im still buzzing

“Just landed back from Zakynthos and I’m still buzzing. Met such an amazing group of people, worked out harder than I ever have in my life, and somehow loved every minute of it. I honestly didn’t know I was capable of that much exercise in one week! 😂 The whole trip was the perfect mix of pushing yourself, switching off, eating great food and meeting brilliant people. Massive shout out to Clementina, Mai, Eduan and Ness. They’re absolute pros, but more than that, you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Their energy is infectious and they somehow manage to make everyone feel supported, encouraged and part of the group from day one. It honestly wouldn’t have been the same without them. I’m already looking at where I can squeeze another Salt Escapes trip into my calendar. If you’re thinking about booking one, stop overthinking it and just do it. You won’t regret it.”

Clem, Nesta and Mai were our hosts in Zakynthos

“Clem, Nesta and Mai were our hosts in Zakynthos. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Really appreciate all the effort and details that go into planning all the different activities throughout the week. 100% recommended to those that want to be challenged physically but also leave some time for relaxation and amazing food.”

What truly separates Salt Escapes from the rest is..

“Almost anyone can book a holiday in Greece with a good gym and amazing access to amenities, but very few people would be able to bring the standards up to Salt Escapes level. What truly separated the experience was the people. Zakynthos was amazing thanks to Lauren, Heather, LJ, Harry, Netty and Dina who, no matter the time of day or the activity, brought their best energy: workouts, boat day, pool time or shipwreck run. Having just-made delicious and thoughtful food after every workout was just priceless. Book it and judge for yourself :)”

The villa was next level, the food was delicious and endless, the workouts were tough but doable, boat day was awesome and there was plenty of time to relax. My favorite part was the people. We were a group of strangers that became family by the end of the week. Big shoutout to Gemma, Rea, AJ and Daisy who made an amazing team to guide us through this adventure.”
