I loved every minute of our last retreat
The women who joined 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, now overlooking the Aegean.
This one's a dream come true for me.
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.
Who's holding the week with me
Grace is known for her fiery classes and a sharp eye on your form. She's tough in exactly the way that gets you an amazing workout, and always knows when to push you and when to correct you. She'll teach one pilates class a day alongside Lottie.
Having co-hosted our last retreat, Sarah knows exactly what it takes to make a week feel special. She'll lead our opening circle and bring us full circle with a beautiful closing ceremony, with restorative and sunrise yoga in between.
Built into the hillside, wrapped in a sea view.
Villa Naos sits above the Aegean on Kea's quiet east coast. Local stone, timber pergolas, and an infinity pool that seems to spill straight into the sea.
Every pilates and yoga session happens right there on the terrace, mats out, the sea in front of you the whole time.
The villa comes with its own chef, a long table under the rafters for long lunches and sunset dinners, and enough sun loungers for everyone to disappear for an afternoon.
Infinity pool that runs straight to the sea, with plenty of space to relax.
A private terrace for pilates and yoga, right on the water.
Outdoor stone showers, shaded cabanas and a garden of wild grasses.
Minutes from a hidden swimming cove and Kea's walking trails.
Home-cooked meals from the villa's own kitchen, eaten together under the pergola.
Enjoy the sunset from the stone steps every evening.
The whole five days, sorted
- 5 days / 5 nights luxury accommodation at Villa Naos, Kea
- 3 classes a day. A mixture of energising and strengthening Pilates, Sunrise sessions, Restorative and Yin Yoga. All classes are optional
- Women's circles and group Reiki
- A guided hike across the island, including beach days and a boat trip
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the villa, bar one night out together
- Wine included with dinner each night
- Full use of the pool, terrace and gardens throughout your stay
All abilities welcome, and every class is optional. Most women find that three classes a day is exactly what leaves you feeling stronger and more refreshed by the end of the week.
Wine is included with dinner each night. Drinks outside of that are available to purchase.

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. You can sit any class out and nobody will blink.
How do I get to Kea?
Fly into Athens, then a short ferry from Lavrio port. We'll recommend flights and can help organise 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.
