Craving to unwind on an idyllic Greek island while practicing yoga and meditation? Join us and practice yoga under the Greek sun on one of the most beautiful islands that has managed to remain undiscovered. Our retreat allows you to pamper yourself with our luxurious services while also learning how to balance your physical, mental and spiritual health. Experience a bohemian Greek summer at an exclusive sanctuary while dipping your toes in the sand and gazing out at the clear azure waters of the Aegean.
Our bodies serve as the physical residence for our spirits. The soul is the center of our being and the mind drives our bodies into action. Restore, rejuvenate, reset is the retreat that offers you that much needed reset as the season turns from summer to autumn; a powerful time to pause, reflect and recharge. Elle's strong, intelligently sequenced vinyasa flow will help to rejuvenate and re-energise your body and mind, whilst her deeply healing restorative classes will provide you with much needed restoration, resulting a perfect 'reset' for your body, mind and spirit.
An invitation to cultivate a deeper connection with your mind, body and soul
Antiparos island is surrounded by the cosmopolitan islands of Paros and Naxos, but it knows how to stand out with its appealing aura and genuine Cycladic uniqueness and beauty. The island is surrounded on one side by calm waters with golden sandy beaches, and on the other by vertical crags with sea caves chiseled by the winds. The Cave is the most famous sight on the small but picturesque island of Antiparos. This fascinating natural wonder is filled with stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes. Your destination is a complex of 5 villas surrounded by lush gardens and ideally situated only a few steps from Sifneikos Gialos beach and Antiparos town. The residences are designed in the traditional Cycladic style with white-washed walls and private terraces with pergolas to take in the spectacular views. The villas feauture swimming pools with panoramic views of the seascape making it the ideal outdoor setting to enjoy the Greek summer. The stone-paved terraces that wrap around the house provide an ideal setting for lounging and dining under the stars or lazing around by the pool. See more images
