About Dolphin's Leap

Dolphin’s Leap is a stunning Mediterranean villa set in the hillside with dramatic views across the Aegean Sea in the Pelion region of Greece.

The property is set in a idyllic location with a saltwater infinity pool and verandah looking out across the bay of Lefokastro where dolphins are often seen. There's a diving board for morning dips in the clear blue Aegean waters and a small, quiet beach a few steps away, perfect for morning meditation.

Retreat programme

Each day will begin with meditation on the beach and a flowing asana class on the yoga terrace overlooking the deep blue sea, opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath.

Morning practice will be followed by a healthy breakfast. Then you will be free to head off down to the beach, relax by the pool or explore the stunning beauty of the surroundings.

A light self service lunch will be offered. The group will meet again in the late afternoon for a second more restorative yoga session. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience. There will be one yoga free day during the week and no yoga on travel days.

In the evenings, a dinner of delicious home cooked Greek dishes will be served with local wine. The group will eat al fresco on a shaded terrace as the sun sets. One evening the group will walk to the local village for dinner at a charming traditional Greek tavernas.

Things to do

You can choose to do as much or as little as you like. Simply taking the week to find deep rest and rejuvenation in this peaceful place.

Between morning and evening yoga there will be time to relax on the beach, swim, snorkel or paddle board in the clear blue waters of the Aegean sea. Enjoy a massage with a local therapist, or simply take in spectacular views from the infinity pool.

There are lovely walks through the olive groves to the local village where the group will have dinner at a traditional local taverna one evening.

Client Reviews

Emma was a fabulous teacher and created a lovely welcoming and inclusive atmosphere from the start. I am missing the yoga nidra now I’m back home! I would happily go to other retreats where Emma is teaching.
Charlie
The place is gorgeous and Emma was great- both in terms of her classes and looking after us all. I would definitely book another holiday if she was the teacher. Thanks for your flawless organisation.

I had a really beautiful retreat. The location is amazing, the yoga was just what I needed and the food was delicious. I left feeling revitalised and uplifted. Look forward to another YOAS trip soon!
