What you will do...
Wake up to the gentle sounds of the sea and begin your day surrounded by the refreshing scent of pine trees in a peaceful seaside setting. You’ll enjoy morning and afternoon yoga and meditation classes held on a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Corinthian Gulf—or in the tranquil shade of the Pefkias pine forest. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, each session is designed to uplift, ground, and restore. In between practices, there’s plenty of free time for beach relaxation, sea dives, cycling, tennis, SUP, and even a playful game of floor chess or table tennis. You'll have access to bicycles, beach gear, board games, and musical instruments to make your downtime as fun or peaceful as you like. Nourish your body with wholesome, delicious meals prepared with love using fresh, organic local products. From a rich brunch in the garden to traditional vegetarian dishes, you’ll taste the care in every bite—think homemade bread, local cheeses, Greek honey, fresh fruits, and more.
