Luxury Yoga Week on Amorgos: Sea-View Shalas, Spa & Greek Island Hiking

Amorgos is a narrow, mountainous island in the eastern Cyclades, about an hour and a half by high-speed ferry from Santorini. The Aegialis Hotel & Spa sits above the port village of Aegiali on the north-west coast, and the retreat runs for eight days and seven nights, from 19 to 26 September 2027.

The yoga happens in the hotel's shalas — six of them, all with sea views, which is the main reason this property has a reputation among European yoga teachers. Pradeep Teotia teaches two sessions a day: a longer morning practice combining meditation and a flowing, sweatier class, and a gentler evening session before dinner. He draws on his Indian training but the classes are taught for a mixed-level Western group, so beginners are fine as long as they're reasonably mobile, and experienced practitioners won't be bored.

What separates this from a generic Greek yoga week is the setting itself. The hotel farms its own organic produce, the spa has won awards, and the island has genuine hiking — the trail to the Monastery of Hozoviotissa, the white cliffside monastery that appears on most Amorgos postcards, is the standout walk. The itinerary leaves long free afternoons specifically so you can do things like that, or take the short walk down to Aegiali for a swim and a coffee.

Transport is handled from the Amorgos port only. You get to Katapola or Aegiali yourself — most people fly to Santorini, Naxos, Paros or Mykonos and take a ferry — and the hotel team collects you at the port and brings you back at the end. Transfers from airports are not included.

The retreat is capped at a small group size in line with the hotel's capacity for the shala programme. Both single-occupancy and double-occupancy rates are listed, and a €500-ish deposit secures a place with the balance invoiced separately before departure.
