Blissful yoga retreat in peaceful Pelion, Greece

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 hidden away 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, wild 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 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. Sunita will also bring her sound bowls for a real treat as the sun goes down.

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 taverna.

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, kayak 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. On the yoga free day the group can take a wonderful boat trip to Trikeri island.

There are lovely walks through the olive groves. The local village of Lefokastro is a short walk away, where the group will have dinner at a traditional local taverna one evening.
