5 Day Women's Yoga & Wellness Retreat by the Sea in Cyprus

This retreat takes place in a private coastal villa in Protaras, on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, an area known for its crystal-clear waters and relaxed beach town vibe. The setting is Fig Tree Bay's famous sands, and the villa itself has a pool, garden, and yoga deck.

The daily rhythm is simple: a Vinyasa practice to wake up, a Slow Flow class in the evening, and plenty of open time in between. The signature experiences are what set this retreat apart — a SUP yoga session on calm Mediterranean water and a curated 3-4 hour boat ride along the coastline. There's also an evening out in Protaras and Ayia Napa and a closing BBQ under the stars.

Ying, one of the hosts, leads the yoga. She's a certified teacher with 17 years based in London, blending Eastern and Western influences. Her classes are described as well-designed for both beginners and experienced attendees, with breath-led movement, thoughtful music, and clear sequencing. Reviews specifically note that she makes everyone feel welcome.

The retreat is women-only and founder-led, meaning Nina and Ying are present throughout the whole experience — hosting meals, joining excursions, and making sure everything runs smoothly. With only a handful of guests, it feels less like a retreat and more like a trip with friends who happen to be excellent hosts.
