Tarant Retreat

From 23rd April to 26th April

A deeply personal journey of renewal, crafted exclusively for women. This transformative four-day retreat held twice a year—in spring and autumn—is inspired by Tarantism—an ancient and captivating ritual from southern Italy and the Salento region.

In a past not too far away, women took part in this unique rite, harnessing the healing power of music and dance to free themselves from the physical and emotional burdens that weighed them down. According to folklore, these afflictions were caused by the bite of a spider known as the tarantula. In reality, the ritual served as an outlet for women to break free from the constraints of their daily lives—endless labour in the fields, family responsibilities, and rigid societal roles. Through dynamic, rhythmic movements set to the pulse of the tambourine, they found release, expression, and renewal.

Tarant draws its essence from this deep-rooted need for freedom and self-reconnection. Starting from the allure of Puglian tradition and the complexity of the female figure, it blends contemporary wellbeing practices, Mediterranean food culture, and traditional music.

A transformative experience that begins with inner exploration and culminates in the most authentic expression of feminine beauty—unique to each woman and enriched by profound self-awareness.
