Indulge In Healthy Cuisine

The region's diet has long been celebrated as one of the world's healthiest cuisines, emphasizing whole foods and abundant and high-quality seasonal produce. The food here offers not only delicious flavors but also health benefits. On a yacht charter, your private chef can prepare the freshest local ingredients sourced from shoreside markets. Visit local farms, olive groves, and vineyards to experience these exceptional ingredients firsthand. 

The Mediterranean approach to dining goes beyond the food itself; it is about slowly savoring meals and enjoying them with others. During your charter, embrace long, leisurely lunches onboard or venture ashore to discover the coastline's diverse dining establishments, from Michelin-starred restaurants to charming family-run tavernas - all specializing in local and seasonal cuisine. 

Embrace Natural Beauty

For those who prefer a more active approach to living well, the Mediterranean is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The lifestyle naturally promotes movement and exercise. Whether hiking along dramatic cliffs in Montenegro, swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Greece, or cycling through scenic coastline routes like along the French Riviera, there are endless opportunities to stay fit and feel good on a yachting vacation. 

The warm weather and picturesque landscapes make it an ideal environment for outdoor exploration. Back onboard, your charter yacht will make incorporating exercise effortless, from practicing yoga on the aft deck at sunrise to using the onboard gym facilities before a day spent relaxing, you can be reassured there is everything you need. Staying true to the Mediterranean lifestyle, be sure to balance outdoor pursuits with well-deserved downtime.

Slow It Down

A yacht offers the ideal relaxation platform with plenty of areas to sunbathe, read, or simply soak up your surroundings. Throughout the Mediterranean, a gentler pace is embraced, and slowing down is celebrated. Spend your mornings enjoying meandering walks through charming coastal villages and afternoons soaking in the water's calming properties. 

Enjoying a slower rhythm allows you to truly disconnect from everyday life and fully immerse yourself in your yacht charter experience. With easy access to the sun and sea, a Mediterranean yacht charter creates the perfect setting to intentionally slow down, rest, and reset. 

Join Local Traditions

The Mediterranean's wellness philosophy is deeply rooted in local traditions that have been nurtured over generations. Throughout the region, the siesta ritual has long been practiced - not just as a break from the midday heat but as a deliberate and restorative pause that supports longevity. In Italy, you should experience the art of 'dolce far niente,' translated to the sweetness of doing nothing, an intentional practice of savoring quiet moments. 

Cruising Greece and its islands, you may witness 'volta,' where locals gather along the coast to socialize and enjoy the cooler evening air, embracing physical activity and social connection. A yacht charter also offers unique access to regional traditions like the hammams in Turkey, where ancient bathing rituals have long been enjoyed. These practices reflect the Mediterranean's holistic approach to well-being, where you can experience firsthand how the lifestyle combines physical health and overall well-being.

Enjoy The Ultimate Indulgence

Complementing the region's natural lifestyle are some of the world's finest spas, offering luxurious treatments with indulgent and therapeutic benefits. No matter where you cruise, you will find exceptional spa facilities ashore to relax. Some of our favorites include the Capri Beauty Farm on the island of Capri; this renowned spa offers medical-grade beauty treatments designed to rejuvenate, making it the perfect addition to a wellness charter. 

While on the French Riviera in St Tropez, the Cheval Blanc Spa provides bespoke treatments in a calming sanctuary. If you opt for the Greek islands this summer, be sure to pay a visit to Kallos Spa in Santorini, known for its therapeutic relaxation programs, which are perfect to enjoy after a day spent exploring the island. Onboard, you will also find a range of spa treatments to enjoy on the yacht, some even with full-time spa therapists; whether a Jacuzzi, designated treatment room, hammam, or sauna, there are plenty of extras to enhance your wellness charter. 

From France and Italy to Croatia and Greece, whichever area of the Mediterranean region you choose to cruise this summer on a yacht charter, you will discover a new definition of wellness.
