Are you looking for relaxation, new energy and some time for reflection? Taking a break from daily life? Then a Yoga Holiday in Gozo is a wonderful way to recharge, explore and make new plans! We offer Yoga, Hiking & Meditation Holidays, and Yoga Teacher Training.
More than a typical Yoga Retreat
Why book your Yoga Holiday with us?
We will show you the whole island and all the hidden spots on the island, while doing our daily yoga and meditation sessions in nature and by the sea. As one of our clients put it: “This is so much more than a yoga retreat, it is a yoga experience”. Plus, we give you the opportunity to really retreat, to spend some time on your own and to have privacy when you feel like it. Our groups are small, a maximum of six people in the yoga excursions and retreats, and a maximum of 12 people in the morning yoga classes.
You can be flexible when planning your retreat, as we are the only yoga excursion and retreat organiser here that offers retreat activities all year-round. We are flexible with your itinerary and are happy to personalise your schedule. First and foremost, we offer quality yoga and meditation activities and we are fully certified in Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Chakra Yoga, Pranayama, Ayurveda and Meditation and we are registered with Yoga Alliance International.
Explore the island
If you would like to explore the island on your own between your yoga sessions, we can recommend our 5-day or 8-day Yoga Holiday. In a Yoga Holiday you have two yoga, hiking or meditation sessions a day, and enough time between your yoga sessions to explore Gozo or Malta on your own or to combine your Yoga Holiday with diving or other activities.
Why Gozo?
Gozo, also known as “The Island of Joy”, offers peace, tranquility, 300 days of sun every year and breathtaking nature. The ideal place for outdoor yoga, meditation by the sea and other recharging activities that make you feel your best. Gozo is a very safe place, so as a solo traveller you can relax. Local people are always willing to help you and are used to solo travellers. And we – as your host – are available at all times to answer your questions or help you with anything.
Gozo invites you to slow down, to take time for yourself and reconnect to nature and your inner self.
Come and join us for a week of yoga in nature and create your custom retreat with us. Enjoy yoga at sunrise while looking at the waves of Qbajjar Bay, hike with us over cliffs and through beautiful valleys and make the time to dream & to make new plans!
What is in the program?
We offer custom 5 or 8-day retreats year round. Our sample program for a 8-day retreat looks like this, but you can add other elements into your schedule or skip certain activities. You can start your retreat or holiday on any day of the week.

Where?
Our yoga and meditation activities are all over the island but our guests usually stay in the Marsalforn, Xewkija and Sannat area. We work together with some lovely hotels that will make you feel at home right from the start. The Marsalforn hotels are popular because they are right by the sea or very close to the sea. Marsalforn is a small village with many restaurants and two small beaches. There is a direct bus to Victoria and to Ramla, our biggest sandy beach. Our guests also love the Quaint Boutique hotels in Xewkija and Sannat, because both villages are very quiet and authentic and very central on the island. The hotels of our choice are:
Calypso Hotel Marsalforn
In the beautiful bay of Marsalforn you’ll find the popular 4-star Calypso Hotel. It has an amazing view of Marsalforn Bay, spacious rooms, a beautiful Rooftop Terrace with swimming pool and a great restaurant. If you choose to stay at Calypso Hotel, full breakfast is included and you will have a private room with a balcony with full sea view. You cannot be closer by the sea then here at Calypso Hotel. There are many restaurants nearby, as well as three supermarkets and two small beaches.
Quaint Boutique Hotels
Quaint Boutique Hotels are a group of hip design hotels with a touch of local character, offering a unique experience to travellers who wish to live and enjoy the real Gozitan way of life. If you stay at Quaint Boutique hotels you are right in the middle of the ancient and authentic villages of Xewkija and Sannat. This is the ideal location if you come for a meditation, hiking or yoga retreat. You will feel the quietness of village life, inviting you to slow down and adjust to the relaxed rhythm of Gozo daily life.
The rooms at Quaint hotels are spacious and luxurious, with a unique design for every room. You will have a beautiful bathroom, coffee and tea making facilities and a mini fridge. Other amenities are a hairdryer, individually controlled A/C, ironing facility, free wifi, digital safe and LCD TV. The ideal place to relax after a day of yoga, hiking and meditation.
The hotels are located in the village square where you also find restaurants and a supermarket.
Reef Hotel
Ideally located on Gozo’s northern coastline, Reef Hotel & Spa offers a place of rare calm. Rooted in the landscape and rhythms of the Mediterranean, the hotel invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature and self. Wander past olive trees, listen to the breeze rustling through the hills, and enjoy the sunset over Gozo’s landscape. Reef has two lovely pools with plenty of sun beds so that you can relax by the pool in between your yoga sessions. You will have a private room with private bathroom and a balcony, with all the comfort you can expect from a 4-star hotel.
