5-Day Multi-Activity Wellness and Fitness Escape on the Aegean Coast

Sky Hut Retreats runs this five-day program on Evia, a large island connected to the Greek mainland by a bridge. You're about a two-and-a-half hour drive from Athens airport, which the team arranges as a group transfer. The retreat villa sits between Limni and Aidipsos, the famous hot spring town, and rooms have glass walls looking out to the sea.

A typical day starts with yoga – Vinyasa, Yin Yang, Mandala, or Power depending on the day – on the sky deck overlooking the water. Afternoons mix skill work like calisthenics, rings and bar skills, and inversion workshops with trips to the hot springs or a waterfall hike. There are ice baths and breathwork sessions, plus sound healing and a medicinal cacao ritual later in the week. Evening activities include partner acrobatics, dancing, and dinner out at a local spot.

The three coaches each bring something different. Aliki, the founder, grew up on a Greek island and lived in London for years before starting Sky Hut; she leads intuitive nutrition and dance. Grace handles yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing, trained as a gymnast and in musical theatre. The third coach focuses on the calisthenics and mobility work. Between the three of them, they cover a lot of ground.

What stands out is the scale. With a maximum of fifteen guests, the coaches can shape sessions around who's there. Everyone stays in the same eight-bedroom villa, so it becomes fairly social. Guests have described it as feeling like a family by the end, with shared meals and group activities helping people connect quickly.

The food is another highlight. A local cook they call 'Mama' prepares fresh meals daily – mostly plant-based, with meat or fish on the side. All meals are included, and there's a dinner out at a restaurant one evening. It's simple, healthy Greek cooking rather than anything fancy.

Location-wise, you're on the Aegean coast with views over the water. The villa has a large infinity pool, a garden with fruit trees and vineyards, and easy access to the beach. The nearby town of Aidipsos is known for its natural hot springs, which feature in the schedule as a day trip.
