Nestled in the turquoise embrace of the Ionian Sea, Zakynthos is an island of breathtaking beauty, rich history, and warm Greek hospitality. Known for its stunning beaches and lush landscapes, it’s the perfect setting for this ALL-INCLUSIVE 7 night luxury retreat vacation that blends relaxation, decadence, connection, adventure, sightseeing, nature & more.

A family-owned retreat venue, Donkey Bay Club (I love the name) with deep Zakynthian roots, blends warmth and authenticity with understated luxury. Our private beachfront villa offers an intimate, high-end and exclusive setting for this retreat package. A welcoming atmosphere, complete with top-tier amenities and personalized service.

Donkey Bay Club sits peacefully above Bouka Bay, just next to Tsilivi Beach. With a private path leading directly to the beach.  This exclusive villa offers direct access to crystal-clear waters while remaining just a short walk from the nearest resort village. Secluded yet accessible, it’s the ideal sanctuary for those seeking both privacy and convenience.  https://www.donkeybayclub.com/welcome

So...what does this 7 night, all-inclusive Greece retreat look like?  Well, let me tell you...

Room Accommodations ~

Where luxury & comfort take the lead – this beautiful villa offers 12 stylish rooms and all but one, has beautiful seaside views.  Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and smart TVs.
All rooms are equipped with bed sheets, towels, soaps, and shampoos.  Daily housekeeping and high-end amenities lend to a relaxed, comfortable and carefree stay.  

Infinity Pool & Jacuzzi ~ 

Unwind in the stunning sea-view infinity pool or soak in the jacuzzi, letting the sounds of the waves melt your stress away.  Available for use anytime you wish. 

Outdoor Activities ~ Stay active with complementary SUP boards, bicycles, ping-pong and a beach side workout area, or simply enjoy a walk along the shore.  There is direct beach access from our villa - precisely 49 steps I'm told!

Day Trips and Greek Night ~
Explore the beauty of Zakynthos Island with 3 day trips that immerse you in the beautiful scenery that surrounds our private villa.  Boat tours on the Ionian Sea, to sea turtle watching, to ship wrecks, to beautiful sandy beaches, to village life.  Boat trips, meals and transfers are all included with these experiences.  See the "itinerary" for details on each of the included Day Trips that are meticulously planned for you.  A night of Greek culture and tradition awaits as well...have you ever smashed a plate in celebration before?

Private Chef Dining* ~ 

At Donkey Bay Club, every meal is an experience—crafted with care, inspired by Greek flavors, and designed to bring people together.  Our private chef will cater to all dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian, and gluten-free options with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. 

Enjoy hot & cold breakfast options with a delicious spread of locally sourced ingredients, along with an all-day coffee/tea/water station.  Light lunches and full-course dinners will be served and crafted to your preferences.

*All meals will be included in your retreat package price.  Including a few meals enjoyed on some of our day tips out and about.  

** Alcohol is available, but at the expense of the attendee and not included.  Availability for wine from the venue cellar or house wine (red, white and rosé) are available for meals by the glass and carafe.   The venue has a bar as well that will be open, so guests can order their own drinks, beer, wine, cocktails, etc depending on their preference as well.
 

Yoga* ~

An all levels, daily morning yoga practice will be offered by yours truly, to set the mind, body and spirit right before heading out to enjoy the days activities. Practice will take place in a seafront yoga shala, with mats, blocks, and straps provided.  No need to bring any yoga equipment with you - one less thing to worry about and pack.

A few evenings during our time at the villa, I will offer some gentle and restorative yoga practices combined with meditations and a few extra treats for attendees to unwind and relax before bed.

*Please know that the yoga portion of this retreat is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL and by no means are retreat attendees required to participate in any or all classes. Classes will be roughly an hour in length and are geared to all levels of practitioners even if you’ve never practiced before. It is simply an added bonus should you chose to indulge. Every retreat I have ever offered has had many attendees that did not participate in yoga and simply came for the rest of the adventure and travel experience. 

My goal, is simple:  to organize and coordinate an experience you'll never forget.  To hold space for the attendee(s) for yoga, travel, adventure, tasting, and relaxation through an all inclusive and magical journey, never before experienced.  This yoga retreat in Greece will be the 3rd international retreat I have led.  I hope you will join me on what will be a memorable time to say the least ~ there is so much planned and waiting for you.  

After all...life is short - so buy the ticket.  What are you waiting for?

Lovin' you,

Bethany
