​Soak up the idyllic Greek vibes from the moment you arrive. Imagine yourself waking up to the sounds of the sea, taking a short stroll to the water for a dip, dining al fresco, wandering through the picturesque towns, and connecting with a diverse group of people.

 

We will enjoy a week together on Paros - an island that is like stepping right into the most quintessential postcard image of Greece. The buildings are all a crisp white, with bright blue doors that reflect the stunning color of the Aegean Sea. There’s just something different about the vibe and pace of this island.

 

This retreat will offer daily yoga practices and group activities. There will also be free time to enjoy the beauty of doing nothing or to venture out and experience the beauty of immersion into a different culture.

We'll practice yoga in a bright and airy yoga shala that has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. Enjoy the sound of the fresh sea breeze whispering through the surrounding olive and cedar trees.

Inspired by the elements and the muses of Greek Mythology, the rooms are open, naturally lit and purposefully minimal to simplify your experience on retreat. You can open the windows and doors to let the famous Parian breezes through.

 

Each room includes the following elements to add an extra touch of comfort to your stay:

  • Refrigerator

Food

We will savor our daily brunch and dinner amidst the fresh sea breeze in the open air dining space. The chefs at our property take great pride in creating delicious meals that not only tantalize the taste buds, but also leave satiated, nourished, and energized. Many ingredients are sourced from the organic garden on the property! Enjoy the fusion of traditional Greek cuisine combined with exotic Indian flavours. Based on ancient Ayurvedic principles, our meals will emphasize wellbeing, balance and bliss in the body.

 

Meals are vegetarian, with dairy and eggs. Vegan, gluten free and dairy free can be accommodated!
