Indulge in a thermal spa at 5* hotel Regina Isabella (named one of the “Best Hotels in Italy” by Forbes), just as the crowds leave, but while the water is still invitingly warm.
Taste mouthwatering cuisine, wine, and take walks to the mysterious castles, beaches, and gardens. Enjoy daily yoga and meditation classes with the retreat theme of “MINDFUL MOVEMENT” and beautiful sea views to help us reconnect to ourselves.
Considered the “green island” and visited by the more “in-the-know” scene, as contrasted by the neighbouring island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, Ischia is a volcanic island in the Bay of Naples and one of the must-sees of the area.
Historically, the island has been inhabited by the Greeks, Syrausansa, Romans, Heruli, Ostrogoths, Byzantines, Normans, Saracens, Turks, and Aragonese, and plenty of ruins remain to suggest the lineages of these colonies.
With its wonderful climate, nice location from the mainland, and richness of therapeutic hot-springs, it’s not hard to see why it was a landscape worth fighting over!
Ischia was one of the world’s first health spa destinations. For centuries people have flocked to Ischia to indulge in its volcanic muds and waters, rich with healthful minerals.
Doctors even prescribe stays here to reap the benefits of bathing in the healing springs. In addition to all its natural wonders, one of the most appealing things about Ischia is the hospitality of the people themselves. You’re sure to experience the island’s welcome and relaxed way of life while during your stay. Info & Details.
Walking, Food and Yoga Retreat on the Amalfi Coast

September Retreats in Morocco
Marrakech
Align & Awaken Retreat at Peacock Pavilions, Marrakech
Dates: 17th – 22nd September
Join us for a luxurious week of exploring your body and mind through daily yoga, somatic body work, and sensory explorations of Marrakech. Go inward with time for renewal, and adventure outward on our Moroccan day trips and adventures to experience all the sights and sounds of magical Morocco.
Your retreat home for the week is the fabulous Peacock Pavilions boutique hotel. This stylish and eco-friendly abode has been featured in worldwide publications, including National Geographic Traveler.
This retreat will combine yoga with somatic bodywork. Soma exploration involves witnessing and experiencing the entirety of one’s organism.
Much of our human experience has been carved into fragments of the whole self, where we’ve compartmentalized our being into the thinking vs. feeling self, conscious vs. unconscious self, physical vs. spiritual self. Somatic play aims to return us to a state of wholeness.
The essence of Align + Awaken is to leave an impression of what is would be like to be wholly present in the moment and to one’s life unfolding.
You will not only enjoy the grounds of Peacock Pavilions, the outdoor areas including a lovely pool, patio, private terraces, and covered yoga platform, but the retreat includes some amazing day-trips to the surrounding sites.
A day will be spent at one of Marrakesh’s most famous luxury hotels to enjoy the pool and a gourmet meal, and an afternoon where we’ll indulge in an abundant high tea in Morocco’s most exclusive locales.
We will pay a visit to the YSL Museum and Majorelle Gardens as well as a dinner out in one of the upscale properties and restaurants in the new part of the city. We’ll stop by to see camels on the dunes at sunset for those who may want to mark this off their bucket-list!
The week will include a visit to a luxurious spa facility, where guests can be pampered with various treatments. What better way to wrap up a week of yoga than a day of pure relaxation. Info & Details
