Yoga, Fitness and Adventure Week on Amorgos, Greece

The day starts at 07:30, when the sun comes through the balcony curtains. At 08:00 the group goes up to the rooftop for sunrise yoga in the sea breeze. Breakfast is a buffet at 09:00, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available if you ask in advance.

From 11:00 the day is free. You might use the spa, book your included 30-minute massage, relax by the pool, take an authentic Greek cookery class, or explore the island. At 17:00 there is a restorative yoga or Pilates class. Dinner is at 19:30, with the sunset as the backdrop; drinks are not included, but you can buy wine with the meal.

The daily workout sessions are not fixed in advance — they are agreed among the guests travelling that week. That means the training is pitched to the group rather than set by a template, and it is why the retreat works for a mix of fitness levels. Yoga is described as suitable for novices as well as people who already practise.

What separates this from a generic Greek island yoga week is the setting and the facilities. The hotel is five-star, the rooms have private balconies with sea views, and the spa has a sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, indoor seawater swimming pool and fitness centre. Guests also get 10% off face and body treatments at the spa. Yoga shalas and equipment are provided, so you do not need to bring a mat.

The island itself is the other draw. Amorgos is quieter than the better-known Cyclades, and the schedule deliberately leaves the middle of the day open so you can get out and see it. The operator ran the same week in 2023 and sold out, and the 2024 dates are 21 to 27 October.

The week is led by Lorna Marie Fitness. The page does not give a detailed instructor biography, certifications or training background, so those details are not stated here.
