Six sun-soaked days of wild water, hidden coves, and the joy of sailing into the unknown.
From turquoise coves to volcanic lakes, every place we visit is a secret corner of paradise. Our private boat is moored right outside our riverside guesthouse — just step aboard and we’re off to swim, dip, and explore. Flow and yin yoga in the riverside garden bookends each day. All activities are optional, but the magic of this escape is hard to resist.
A small group of wild-hearted women — solo travellers, friends, sisters, mothers and daughters — sharing moments in nature, long sunny days on the water, and evenings under starlit skies. We take care of everything so you can simply… swim, dip, and chill.
In one small corner of southwest Türkiye lies an extraordinary world of water — all within reach of our boat. We swim under golden sunsets and silver moonlight, in glassy-blue coves, gentle waves, mountain lakes, and warm volcanic springs. Paddleboard, kayak, or simply float… immersed in sun, nature, and complete freedom.
Our spacious private boat is the heart of this escape — a place to stretch out in the sun, find shade with a cool drink, or dive straight into the clear blue. We carry paddleboards, a kayak, and snorkels for you to use whenever the mood takes you. There’s nothing like dropping anchor in a deserted cove and knowing it’s all yours for the afternoon
Mornings begin with energising flow yoga, evenings wind down with yin and meditation in our lush riverside garden. Sometimes we roll out the mats on the beach or by the lake. Fiona’s warm, intuitive teaching welcomes everyone — from complete beginners to seasoned yogis. One-to-one yoga and personal guidance are available on request.
Your home is a family-run guesthouse set in lush gardens on the riverbank, with views of ancient Lycian rock tombs. Each ensuite, air-conditioned room is bright and comfortable, with twin, double, or single occupancy available. From the riverside hammock, watch turtles drift past or enjoy a drink from the garden bar as kingfishers flash across the water.
Breakfast is a feast of crusty bread, local cheese, eggs, pastries, homemade yoghurt, honey from the hills, and fruit from the family gardens. On the boat, long lazy lunches or dinners bring platters of fresh vegetarian or vegan mezze, with grilled fish, chicken, or meat on alternating days. Many meals are included, with just a couple of chances to sample local restaurants ashore.
If you love wild water, sunshine, yoga, sailing, and discovering hidden natural wonders, you’ll feel right at home. Groups are kept to a maximum of 10 women — small enough for a friendly, easygoing atmosphere but with space for quiet moments.
We’re just 30 minutes from Dalaman airport, with budget flights from across the UK. Airport transfers can be arranged through the guesthouse. Full details are provided after booking.

Your safety comes first. All swims are guided by experienced leaders and our qualified Sea Captain, with full briefings before each activity.
Stay visible with a tow float or swim hat in the river, and always use the lights provided for night swims. At sea and in lakes, wait for the Captain’s go-ahead, stay close to the boat, and use a tow float.
The river, lake and boat can be slippery—move carefully and avoid alcohol before swimming. Wild swims are at your own risk, but you’ll always be supported and cared for.
Before the trip, Fiona will send a short health and wellness questionnaire so she can tailor yoga sessions to your individual needs.
Once you’ve booked, your deposit is non-refundable. If you need to cancel more than 120 days before your escape, we’ll refund your balance in full (minus the deposit). Cancellations 90–119 days before receive a 75% refund, and 60–89 days before a 50% refund (both minus deposit). Within 60 days we’re unable to offer a refund, though at our discretion we may transfer your balance to a future escape.
If life throws you a curveball, just talk to us — we’ll always do our best to help.

Arrive at 2pm for welcome Turkish tea and cake in the garden. At 3pm, we set sail down the river to feel the evening waves at the beach, then move into a sunset yoga session on the sand. We end the day in the warm volcanic lake, dipping under fading light before a delicious evening meal on the boat.
Morning flow yoga and meditation followed by breakfast, then we sail through the delta and out into the Aegean. We’ll dip in crystal-blue coves accessible only by boat, enjoy a fresh vegetarian mezze lunch on board, and finish with an inland lake swim before returning home for optional evening yoga in the garden.
Morning and evening yoga in the garden are included. In between, take the day to explore: mountain spring dips, coastal walks, the turtle hospital, cycling through pomegranate fields, a hammam visit — or simply relax by the river with a book. (Additional activities are optional and not included.)
After morning yoga, we sail to the big mountain lake for breakfast on the water. Return to the guest house at lunchtime to rest, then head out again in the afternoon to the warm volcanic lake. Optional village dining (extra cost) before watching the sunset melt into the river, followed by a cooling twilight dip.
A relaxed start before setting sail to the natural mud baths (optional!) and spending the afternoon swimming and paddleboarding in a secluded lake. We’ll watch the sun drop behind the mountains, enjoy our final boat meal, and linger in the warm evening waters under a canopy of stars.
One last morning yoga session, a refreshing river dip, and a slow breakfast in the garden. Time to lounge in the hammock, soak in the views, and say “see you next year” to new friends.
