From Lottie
I loved every minute of our last retreat.
The women who joined our last retreat arrived as strangers and left with a bond I still think about.
Now we're bringing that same feeling to Kea, and I'm so excited about it. Five days to really relax, restore and spend time on ourselves, overlooking the Aegean.
All the equipment is provided, so there's nothing to pack but yourself. Bring the version of you that needs to slow down. I'll bring the rest.
This one's a dream come true for me.

Sarah
Having co-hosted our last retreat, Sarah knows exactly what makes a week feel special. She opens and closes the week with a circle, with restorative and sunrise yoga in between.
The villa
Built into the hillside, wrapped in a sea view.
Villa Naos sits above the Aegean on Kea's quiet east coast. Every Pilates and yoga session happens on the terrace, with the sea in front of you the whole time.
01
An infinity pool that runs straight to the sea.
02
A private terrace for Pilates and yoga, right on the water.
03
Outdoor stone showers, shaded cabanas and a garden of wild grasses.
04
Minutes from a hidden swimming cove and Kea's walking trails.
05
Home-cooked meals from the villa's own kitchen, eaten together under the pergola.
06
Sunset from the stone steps every evening.

Good to know
A few questions.
Do I need Pilates or yoga experience?
No. Every class is taught at a pace that works for the room, beginners included.
What's the fitness level like?
Mixed and adjustable. The hike is optional, and so is everything else. Sit any class out and nobody will blink.
How do I get to Kea?
Fly into Athens, then take a short ferry from Lavrio port. We'll recommend flights and can help with your transfer. Full travel details go out once you've booked.
What should I pack?
Something to move in, something to swim in, and a jumper for the evenings.
Are drinks included?
Wine is included with dinner each night. Other drinks are available to buy.
Can I come on my own?
Yes, absolutely. Lots of women join us on their own, and leave with new friends.
Can I bring a partner or friend who doesn't do Pilates?
Yes! We love introducing Pilates to new friends and partners.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Of course. The villa has its own chef, so just let us know when you book.
Do I need travel insurance?
Your £400 deposit is non-refundable. We recommend taking out travel insurance as soon as you book, including cancellation cover.
