Our new concept
Lost Mode: switch your phone off. Turn life on.
Swap screen time for sunrises. On all our trips you can hand in your phone and borrow a digital camera instead – a real digital detox, entirely on your terms.
More than training
We train a few hours a day. The rest is about recovery.
- Long breakfasts overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
- A refreshing swim between training sessions.
- Shared lunches and dinners.
- Conversations that go on long after the sun has gone down.
- Reading a book in the shade.
- Simply sitting and looking out over the sea.
In practice
How Lost Mode works
- You set the paceHand in your phone at the Fitness Bar for a day, a few days or the whole week.
- Capture memories without the noiseYou borrow a classic digital camera and capture the swims and the training – without notifications and emails.
- Easy transferWhen the week is over we help you transfer the photos to your phone.
- Completely optionalNo pressure and no lecturing – just a chance to let your mind switch off.
- Peace of mind with an emergency numberYou get our emergency number to give to your loved ones, so they can always reach us if something urgent happens.
How the idea was born
It started with an accident
One morning I wanted to film a timelapse of the sunrise. I placed my phone at the edge of the pool, propped up with a small stone. When I came back half an hour later, the phone was lying at the bottom of the pool and couldn’t be saved.
For the rest of the week I went without a phone. I trained, swam, talked to people and discovered how nice it was not to feel the phone lying there waiting. I only missed it once – when I had to show my boarding pass on the flight home.
That’s when the idea was born: what if more people could experience the same thing?

Being fully present.
That’s the feeling we want you to take home. ❤️
