Mum & Little one retreat

31st May - 4th June 2025, Sicily

Every retreat has its customized schedule adjusted to participants needs and interests. We understand the needs of babies and small kids change constantly and cannot be predicted even days ahead. That is why we work with the following principles

  • each activity is at least 2hrs allowing everyone to come later or leave earlier

  • come and go whenever, wherever

  • use childcare services or don’t - you decide

Creative childcare offers you time to join the mum movement session or simply take time just for yourself.

All sessions that do not specifically say “mum only” are for mums & little ones.

A Taste of Sicily, Made with Love

At our retreat, food is at the heart of the experience—nourishing, comforting, and lovingly prepared by a local Sicilian mum and chef who brings authentic flavors and a home-cooked touch to every meal.

Our menu is primarily vegetarian, celebrating the fresh, seasonal ingredients of the region, with a special fish night and meat night to offer a delightful taste of Sicily’s culinary heritage. Meals are thoughtfully crafted so that babies and toddlers can easily join in, with baby-friendly options always available to ensure little ones are well-fed and happy.

We understand that everyone has different needs, which is why special dietary requirements are happily accommodated—ensuring all feel nourished and cared for.

Each day features a relaxed long brunch and dinner, offering plenty of time to enjoy delicious dishes and connect with other mums. For lunch, you can enjoy a more flexible approach with fresh fruit, homemade cakes, and the option to prepare your own sandwiches.

Sit back, savor the flavors, and enjoy the simple pleasure of sharing good food with great company.

    Hej.babes retreats

  • At hej.babes we use the term baby loosely when it comes to their age. A baby/little one/little kid is a around 0 - 6 years of age. We adjust all our retreats to ensure there is a harmony in the age bracket. We also offer retreats for older kids - just send us a message.

  • The retreat is designed with one mum and a kid in mind as we focus on the community of mothers, motherhood and female health. If that does not work for you please reach out and tell us more about your specific situation & we can see what your best options are.

  • We are planning more retreats as we go. Just message us your desired dates and we will get back to you.

  • We have a reatreat daycare on site a few hours per full retreat day.
