Lesbos Retreat - Sunday 31st May - Sunday 7th June 2026

We are staying at the beautiful 5-star Sunrise Hotel with panoramic views over the Aegean Sea. 

Late spring is a magical time on the island, with wildflowers in bloom, warm sunshine, crystal-clear waters, and access to natural hot healing springs. Enjoy coastal walks, swimming in secluded coves, or simply resting and soaking up the peaceful surroundings.  

This retreat is open to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.  Each day includes yoga, pranayama, meditation, and inspiring talks, alongside delicious buffet brunches.  

The Sunrise Hotel offers a spacious yoga room, swimming pools, gym, sauna, poolside taverna, and free transport to nearby villages and hot springs. Evenings are free to enjoy the hotel’s dining or local tavernas.
