5 Day Island Wellness Reset in Carloforte, Sardinia

The typical day starts with morning breathwork, a session Alexander leads to bring clarity and calm before the day begins. After that comes a healthy brunch, made with fresh, local Mediterranean ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options always available. Guests then have a choice: join a guided circle training session to activate your strength and vitality, or take the free time to go to the beach. The island's e-bikes are available for rent, and they're the best way to find hidden coves, long sandy beaches, and wild cliffs.

In the evening, the group comes back together for a gentle yoga class on the ocean-view terrace, followed by dinner. You can book a home-cooked evening meal, with requests made by the morning, or head into Carloforte to try one of the local restaurants. The days end in the wood-fired hot tub, surrounded by nature, with the option to join a meditation or ceremony — cacao ceremonies and shamanic practices are part of the program for those who want to go deeper.

Private 1:1 healing sessions with Alexander are available for guests seeking personalized support. Alexander trained as a pharmacist before a serious illness led him to breathwork, meditation, and shamanic practices. He's studied with teachers like Dr. Joe Dispenza and Pascal K'in Greub. Alexandra completed her yoga teacher training in Zurich and has been practicing since a transformative retreat in Thailand in 2017. Together, they've created a space that feels less like a retreat center and more like being hosted by friends who happen to be excellent guides.

The island of San Pietro itself is part of the reason this place feels special. It's off the beaten path, with a slower rhythm than mainland Sardinia. The villa is surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and has sea views in every direction. Everything is designed to make you slow down, disconnect, and let your body remember how to relax.
