PELION - GREECE
BOUTIQUE RETREAT
WITH NCYOGA & YOAS
Aug 29th - Sept 6th 2026
BOOKING JUST OPEN - WITH YOAS
RETREAT OVERVIEW
This is a boutique yoga retreat, lovingly curated with a maximum of 11 guests, allowing for close personal attention, a sense of ease, and a deeply supportive group atmosphere. Set in the unspoilt beauty of the Pelion Peninsula, the retreat offers space to slow down, reconnect, and fully immerse yourself in the rhythm of nature.
Each day begins with meditation by the sea followed by a flowing morning asana practice on a terrace overlooking the deep blue Aegean, designed to awaken the body and calm the mind. Classes are suitable for all levels, with options offered throughout. There is one yoga-free day during the week, as well as no yoga on arrival and departure days, giving you time to rest, explore, or simply be.
This magical setting where forested hills meet crystal-clear waters creates the perfect backdrop for a week of renewal, presence, and quiet joy.
THE VENUE & ACCOMODATION
Dolphin’s Leap is a stunning Mediterranean villa nestled into the hillside above the bay of Lefokastro, with sweeping views across the Aegean Sea. Hidden away in an idyllic, peaceful location, the property feels both grounded and expansive — a place where time naturally slows.
The villa features a saltwater infinity pool and shaded verandah overlooking the bay, where dolphins are often spotted playing in the water below. A diving board invites refreshing morning dips, while a small, wild beach just a short walk away provides a beautiful setting for quiet reflection and meditation.
Accommodation is light, airy, and spacious, with all bedrooms enjoying sea views. Rooms are arranged as a mix of single, twin, and triple options, most with en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. Communal living areas, terraces, and shaded corners throughout the property offer plenty of space to relax, read, or simply take in the view.
FOOD & EXTRAS
Food at the retreat is designed to be both nourishing and joyful. Each day includes a healthy breakfast, a light self-service lunch, and a delicious evening meal, with one dinner enjoyed at a traditional local taverna. Meals are vegetarian and prepared by a local cook using fresh, seasonal, organic, and locally grown or homemade produce, served with care and simplicity.
Between yoga sessions, you’re free to shape your days as you wish. Relax by the pool or on the beach, wander through olive groves, or explore the surrounding coastline. Optional activities include kayaking, paddleboarding, and locally offered massage treatments.
On the yoga-free day, there is the option to take a scenic boat trip to Trikeri Island —a memorable way to experience the area’s clear waters and traditional charm. Evenings are spent dining al fresco on the terrace as the sun sets, creating a relaxed and quietly magical atmosphere.
