About Lagoon Retreat

Set in an elevated position, Lagoon Retreat is surrounded by a forested conservation area overlooking the Sülüngür Lagoon with spectacular views across the beautiful Dalyan delta and Istuzu beach.

The utter peace and privacy of the venue, immersed in nature, creates an idyllic setting for a yoga retreat where you can forest bathe, inhale the vital prana and tune into the birdsong and hum of cicadas.

Retreat programme

There will be two Scaravelli inspired yoga classes each day with Catherine in the fully equipped yoga shala, set on a hill with views of the surrounding forest and mountains.

The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience. There will be one yoga free day and no yoga on travel days.

Each morning will begin with a yoga class of meditation and asana practice to gently open the body and attune the mind to the breath. The afternoon class will be a more restorative class to delve deeper into the postures.

Between classes you can simply relax by the pool or head out and explore the stunning beauty of the surroundings.

Things to do

A short bus or taxi ride from the local traditional village will take you to Istuzu, a long, sandy beach in the conservation area where loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs. Or just a 15 minute walk through the forest brings you to a private beach on the lagoon.

A 10 minute taxi ride from the village in the opposite direction will bring you to the charming riverside town of Dalyan with its shops and restaurants.

Visits to nearby ruins of ancient Caunos, mud baths, boat trips and other excursions, including off the beaten track, can be arranged if you want to explore.

Accommodation & food

The simple, comfortable and well appointed ensuite bedrooms are suitable for single, double, twin or triple accommodation. All are different. Some have balconies and other terraces with lovely forest views. All have air conditioning.

Delicious breakfast and dinner are included. There will also be ingredients for help-yourself light lunches and unlimited fruit, water, teas and coffee are included.

Inexpensive lunches are also available a short walk away in charming little eateries in the local village or Dalyan.

Client Reviews

I loved this retreat. Catherine is an excellent yoga teacher, her lessons are always inspiring, and relaxing but with enough of a challenge. As such, they are suitable for all levels, from beginners through to other yoga teachers. I came away from the retreat feeling revived and refreshed and would do another YOAS retreat in a heartbeat!

Gemma
The retreat with Catherine was wonderful! I found it restorative and inspiring - Catherine was an amazing facilitator! Catherine had an open approach, asking lots of questions and involving us all. She guided and stimulated us all. Catherine was also warm and friendly and had a great sense of humour.
