Greece Retreat

23rd-28th May 2026

As spring ripens into summer, we invite you to step into the warmth of the sun and join us on this yoga, pilates and wellness retreat in Greece. Give yourself permission to embrace the slow rhythm of island life in our beautiful private villa overlooking breathtaking views of the Aegean sea.

Surrounded by the golden light, enjoy a carefully curated schedule aimed to revitalise the body and mind with daily yoga and pilates classes overlooking the gentle ocean waves, activities to explore the natural beauty of the island of Kea, and time for guilt-free relaxation either by our private pool or a short-stroll down to the nearby beach.

Feel your body grow stronger, your mind clearer, and your spirit lighter as you move, breathe, and recharge by the sea.

  • "I could not recommend Jing Retreats more. I’d never booked a solo trip before - let alone been on a retreat! - and really didn’t know what to expect or if it would be something that was for me. And it is now up there as one of the most incredible trips I’ve ever been on."

  • "Carol & Jing Retreats put together a truly special experience. It was the perfect step-away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, surrounded by gorgeous mountains and forests, coordinated by one of the friendliest and most considerate instructors you could ask for."

  • ”Jing retreats gave me the space to fully recharge and reconnect with myself after constant work burnouts. From feel-good food and breathtaking views to relaxing massages and thoughtfully planned activities, every detail was designed to offer the stress-free escape I needed.”

  • "Carol is also a fantastic and considerate instructor. She creates a very warm and welcoming class, and that energy is felt amongst the group - it always feels like a safe environment practising."

FAQ’s

  • We would recommend travelling to Lavrio Port (30-40 min taxi ride from Athens International Airport), where you can then take a scenic one-hour ferry ride to Kea.

    We are happy to help link up guests prior to travel day to help with coordinating shared rides or assist in organising your transfer to the retreat venue separately.

  • No worries at all! There is a space for you whether you are stepping onto your mat for the very first time or have only been to a few classes here and there.

    All classes will be open-levels, and your retreat host will ensure you are comfortable even if you are entirely new to the practice.

  • Of course you can! A lot of people go to retreats alone, it is such a good opportunity to meet like-minded people and meet some amazing new friends along the way.

    If you are booking as a solo traveller but wish to be in a shared room, we will try our best to pair you with another solo travelling guest who we think you may be best suited with!

  • To reserve your space, a 40% deposit is required and the remaining balance to be paid 8 weeks before the retreat start date. Please note - this deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances.

    Monthly payment plans are also available upon request - please get in touch if this is of interest.

  • The deposit paid to reserve your booking is non-refundable under any circumstance.

    Any remaining balance is 100% refundable if requested at least 12 weeks prior to the retreat start date.

    Any requests made after this date are non-refundable, however, if the retreat is sold out, we will attempt to sell your spots to those on waitlists. If another guest wishes to take your spot, we will refund you the remaining balance.

    Of course we understand that life may throw us a few curveballs and things may be out of our control. Please do make sure your travel insurance covers you for any unexpected reasons for cancellation.

  • We see retreats as a little haven holiday for you to enjoy! The second you arrive at the venue, sit back and relax… we are here to take care of you every step of the way.

    Sometimes when we arrange our own holidays, it is hard to fully let go of all the stress and tension through all the planning and preparation of making the trip worthwhile. On a retreat, let us look after you. We will do all the prep and plan work, so you can entirely enjoy your time stress-free.

    We also want you experience the magic of practising yoga and pilates daily on our retreats, for either those exploring the practices for the first time or for those who wish to learn even more deeply. Combined with nourishing and delicious meals and the time to fully relax, we hope you leave us feeling your best self.
