Home › Retreats › Pilates & Wellness Escape by the Ionian Sea in Greece
Greece · 5 days · From USD 559
The retreat is held at the Arilla Beach Hotel, a charming 3-star family-run property perched on the hillside between Sivota and Parga, offering uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea, Paxos, and Corfu. The philosophy here is simple: wellness should feel natural, nourishing, and grounded in the beauty of the surroundings. Each day invites you to move mindfully, eat deliciously, and explore the breathtaking coastline and hinterland that make this region of Greece so special.
Daily Pilates sessions take place in a serene, open-air space where the rustle of olive trees and the distant rhythm of the waves create the perfect soundtrack for your practice. Led by certified instructors Dimitra or Fotini, the classes focus on core strength, posture, flexibility, and breath awareness—suitable for all levels, whether you're brand new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner. Beyond the mat, the program includes gentle stretching, guided nature hikes, and a memorable excursion to the Acheron River, a place steeped in mythology and known for its crystal-clear waters.
Food is a cornerstone of the experience. Every morning starts with a rich breakfast buffet of traditional Greek dishes—fresh eggs, local cheeses, olives, honey, and just-baked bread—and each evening concludes with a carefully prepared dinner featuring seasonal recipes and regional ingredients. The hotel’s restaurant offers a true taste of Mediterranean hospitality, with meals often enjoyed on the terrace as the sun sets over the sea.
Guests stay in cozy, thoughtfully designed rooms with private balconies that overlook the Ionian waters. Simple, natural materials and earthy tones create a peaceful sanctuary for rest after a day of activity. With free parking, Wi-Fi, a sparkling outdoor pool, and a garden to wander in, the hotel provides everything you need for a restorative escape. The local area, including the charming villages of Perdika, Sivota, and Parga, offers opportunities for kayaking, swimming, and cultural exploration, all within easy reach.
