Join us for the Big Blue Yoga & Swim Retreat from June 19 to 25, 2027, on the enchanting island of Amorgos, Greece. Set on the unspoiled edge of the Cyclades, this escape weaves daily yoga and swimming effortlessly into the rhythm of island life. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Aegean Sea, where crystal-clear waters, dramatic mountains and serene Cycladic light invite you to slow down, breathe and reconnect.

Move through energizing morning flows with Malia Hill and cool off in the legendary waters that gave “The Big Blue” its name, and nourish yourself with fresh Mediterranean cuisine. Hosted by Malia Hill, you’ll embark on a rejuvenating journey of movement, rest and connection — perfect for anyone seeking to embrace the water element and find balance in body and mind. Let the Aegean revive your spirit.
