Wellness Escape: Yoga, Sea Air and Greek Coastal Walks in Pelion

The retreat runs for seven days and six nights at Dolphin's Leap, a private estate on the Pelion peninsula. The property is set back from the water among woodland, with the sea visible below and a footpath dropping down to a quiet, unspoiled stretch of sand. Two large, west-facing terraces catch the afternoon sun, and the infinity pool sits right by the yoga deck where most classes take place.

Yoga is the backbone of the week. Mornings are an active Vinyasa flow, and evenings shift into restorative yoga with longer holds, meditation, and a focus on relaxation. Both are taught by a rotating team of instructors who join for the week. Depending on when you book, that could be Molly, a London-based Jivamukti teacher with 800 hours of training, or Charlotte, who has 19 years of experience and specialises in Hatha and Sivananda yoga. Laura, who teaches Yin yoga, also leads some weeks. All levels are welcome, and the small group size means the teacher can adapt sequences and give hands-on adjustments.

Guests can also book one-to-one sessions with Ioannis, the house therapist, who offers massage, reflexology, and sound therapy at around €60 per session. These are optional extras, scheduled into free time during the day.

The village of Lefokastro is a 12-minute walk away, with three tavernas and a small café-bar if you fancy eating out or grabbing a coffee. The surrounding area is criss-crossed with old mule tracks that make for excellent coastal walking, and the owners provide walking maps. Kayaks and SUP boards are available for guests to use at no extra cost.
