Are you looking for relaxation, new energy and some time for reflection? Taking a break from daily life? Then a Yoga Retreat in Gozo is a wonderful way to recharge, explore and make new plans! We offer Yoga Retreats, Hiking & Yoga Retreats, Meditation Retreats and Yoga Teacher Training.
More than a typical Yoga Retreat
Why book your retreat 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 in your own apartment or hotel room by the sea or in your authentic Boutique Hotel. You can be flexible when planning your retreat as we are the only retreat centre here that is open year-round. We are flexible with your itinerary and are happy to personalise your schedule. We like good food! For lunch we take you out to different restaurants and terraces on the island so you can choose to eat whatever you feel like. Last but not least, we offer quality yoga and meditation 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.
Yoga Holiday
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, a 4-star hotel with Sea View, breakfast included, 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. You will stay in your own private apartment or in a beautiful hotel by the seaside, enjoying healthy food, daily yoga sessions, meditation sessions, hiking or other activities in a tailor-made program fitting to your wishes. Come explore, relax & recharge with us for a week or create your custom retreat.
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! “Relax, Energize & Enjoy”!
