General Information

Floripa is located in Santa Maria del Focallo, Sicily, just a few steps from one of the island’s most beautiful beaches.

Floripa is open from late March to early November. The best months for kitesurfing are from May to October, while yoga is practiced year-round, with ideal conditions in spring and autumn. The season varies a lot—if you’re looking for an escape from the city chaos and a pure immersion in unspoiled nature, we recommend April, May, and October. If you’re seeking energy, vitality, and new connections, the Sicilian summer won’t disappoint!

Yes, there are bars, restaurants, and supermarkets just a few minutes away. For a more authentic experience, we can recommend the best local options. To reach the nearest restaurants, you will need a car, but don’t worry—you can request our taxi or rental service, or simply enjoy Floripa’s homemade cuisine. Our chef will delight you daily with à la carte lunches and buffet-style dinners, with wine included.
