“Welcome to ‘Au Naturel,’ where wellness embraces both body and soul. It’s a haven not for the trendy, bustling city enthusiasts but for those who find solace in the sea’s embrace, the warmth of the sun, and the serenity of silence. Here, the symphony of nature reigns supreme – from the delicate flutter of butterfly wings to the morning serenade of roosters and the soothing lullaby of sheep. It’s a place where the caress of the Maestral wind at dusk is etched into memory, and where travelers seek refuge in secluded coves, far from the chaos of the world. Our wellness retreat takes you on a journey aboard a private yacht, gently gliding through the enchanting ‘girotondo’ in my dreams …

sou·ve·nir /ˌso͞ovəˈnir/ noun A thing that is kept as a reminder of a person, place, a special moment, or event. I was five years old when I bought my first souvenir while traveling.
