Serifos is a beautiful off the beaten path island in the Cyclades of Islands. It has maintained its natural landscape and beauty, which is one of the many reasons we love it.

Our retreat location offers panoramic views of the sea and the Chora (main village of Serifos). You will be within a 10 minute walk to beautiful beach in a protected bay.

You will be staying a boutique hotel that overlooks the sea with views of the Chora (extra special at night). Most of our meals will be served here and are absolutely delicious. You may also order coffee, tea, cocktails, or a bite to eat at your leisure during your stay (extras not included). In addition, you will have access to the hotel pool and our classes will be in a beautiful stone protected yoga/movement space.

Your accommodation will be in a spacious & bright apartment with a traditional Cycladic feel but a modern design.

We will only be a 10 minute walk from a gorgeous beach and 5 minute drive from the port (restaurants, shops, and bars).
