Why join?
-
• Nourishment from the Inside Out •
both on and off the mat. Enjoy curated Mediterranean meals made from fresh, local ingredients, enriching yoga flows, restorative evening sessions and sound baths, and free afternoons for exploration or rest. Everything is thoughtfully designed to replenish your body, quiet your mind, and lower your nervous system tone.
-
• Slow by the Ocean •
Nestled between two turquoise bays, this retreat offers a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and refill your energy through daily sunrise and sunset yogic practices and mindful ocean swims. You'll leave everyday stress behind and realign with the rhythm of the sea and your own inner calm.
-
• Reconnection and renewal •
With villas perched over the Ionian Sea, glass-walled shala, infinity pools, and hidden coves at your doorstep, Lefkada invites you into stillness and presence. Yoga meets adventure here — from seaside practice to exploring secret beaches and mountain villages — offering a sanctuary to reconnect with yourself and the elements.
A Rhythm to Return to
Each day begins with breath and movement. Mornings invite you into deep, energising practice — a chance to awaken the body, centre the mind, and arrive fully into the day. After breakfast, there’s space for adventure or ease: wander to hidden beaches, swim in turquoise waters, explore the island, or simply rest under the sun. Afternoons are slow and nourishing, with light meals, lakeside lounging, and time to read, nap, or just be. As the sun softens, we gather again for evening practice — gentle, restorative, and attuned to your rhythm. Evenings are for shared meals, stories, and stargazing. On Tuesday, we pause from yoga to give you a full day to yourself — to roam, reflect, or rest as you need.
What’s included
• 7 nights’ accommodation at a luxury hillside retreat overlooking the Ionian Sea, with infinity pools, olive groves, and panoramic views
• Daily morning and evening yoga sessions, blending energising movement, meditation, and restorative practices in a glass-walled sea-view shala
• Three delicious meals each day, made with fresh, local nourishing Mediterranean ingredients
• Unlimited herbal teas, filtered water, and fresh fruit available throughout the day
• Optional group excursions to explore nearby beaches, villages, or hidden coves (details shared closer to arrival)

Getting There
Our retreat takes place on the beautiful island of Lefkada, part of the Ionian Islands in western Greece. Although it’s an island, Lefkada is unique in that it’s connected to the mainland by a causeway — making it easily accessible by both car and air.
By Air
The closest airport is Preveza Aktion Airport (PVK), just a 45-minute drive from the retreat location. It has regular seasonal flights from many major European cities during the warmer months. We recommend arriving on the day the retreat begins, ideally in the early afternoon.
Other nearby airports:
• Ioannina (IOA) – approx. 2.5 hours’ drive
• Athens (ATH) – approx. 5 hours’ drive (ideal if you want to explore more of Greece)
Transfers
We can help organise group transfers from Preveza Airport to the retreat villa. Once your flight is booked, send us your arrival time and we’ll help coordinate shared taxis to keep things simple and affordable.
By Car
Lefkada is connected to the mainland by a bridge, so if you prefer to rent a car and drive, you can reach us easily from any of the airports listed above. Detailed directions will be provided closer to the retreat date.
Once you book your place, you’ll receive a full welcome pack with travel tips, packing suggestions, and everything you need to feel supported from the moment you start your journey.
