Overview
In Sicily, everything breathes life…
The volcano exhales its power into the sky, and the sea gently embraces the shore.
“Between the Volcano and the Sea” is more than a retreat… It’s a journey to restore the balance between your strength and softness, between your silence and your fire, between the need for stability and the desire for transformation.
We take you to the land of raw Italian beauty, where natural energy blends with culture, flavor, and sensation.
From the colorful villages on the hills, to the tranquil beaches, to the sunset behind the volcano…
Every moment is an invitation to return to the point of balance within you.

Salah Amira and Doaa Hindi, founders of Soul Star Retreats — journeys that blend luxury with consciousness, travel with inner balance 🌿
Our story began with a simple passion: to help people pause the noise of life and experience something that reconnects them to their true essence.
From the very first retreat we organized, we knew this was more than just a project…
It was a calling — a mission to create safe and inspiring spaces where people can rediscover the meaning of peace, simplicity, and presence.
Over the past years, we’ve led dozens of journeys to destinations around the world — from Bali to Sicily, from Dahab to Zanzibar — gathering thousands of real stories that have transformed our participants from within.
We believe that true transformation doesn’t happen through words — it happens through experience.
That’s why every retreat we design is a carefully crafted blend of meditation, movement, nature, and community.
Doaa specializes in feminine energy, beauty, and self-connection.
Salah is a coach in consciousness, leadership, and transformational experience design.
Together, we bring soul and mind, heart and expertise — to create a holistic experience that touches the body, emotions, and spirit.
And this exact balance is what every person feels when they join us — a sense of safety, authenticity, and true belonging 💫
Our retreats aren’t just adventures or activities — they’re an invitation to return to yourself, discover your energy, and live life with deeper awareness and a calmer heart.
Every journey with us changes something inside you…
Not just the way you think, but the way you feel life itself.
Our purpose is always simple and clear:
That each person who joins leaves more connected, calmer, and purer within. 🌸
- I agree to attend all sessions and participate in the entire program, and I fully understand that this is a retreat, not a tourist trip, and that this experience is designed for individuals who wish to embark on a journey of awareness and growth, immersing themselves in an atmosphere of meditation, stillness, and self-connection.
- Please refrain from smoking in shared areas, during transportation, and during activities, to ensure everyone’s comfort.
- We kindly ask everyone to practice mutual respect and avoid judgment, negative talk, or gossip.
- Enjoy your time and try to disconnect from social media or using your phone during group activities.
- Your presence during group activities is important — it enriches the experience and fosters a sense of connection.
- We appreciate your commitment to the schedule and showing up on time for each activity.
- Please respect nature by not littering or feeding animals.
- Since you’re on a wellness retreat, we recommend avoiding alcohol consumption. Participation in any activity under the influence or consuming alcohol within the group is not allowed.
- Please don’t mention your job, age, or achievements — we’ll explain why later 😊
