Our Top Yoga Holidays

I'm Stella Photi, and I founded Wellbeing Escapes because of my own realisation of how much yoga positively impacted my body and mind. I was looking for somewhere to go and practice yoga on holiday and visited my local travel agent. They were completely puzzled (well, it was almost 20 years ago). And the rest, as they say, is history!

I didn’t want to dive into an intense yoga retreat surrounded by super flexible, advanced yogis – I knew I wasn’t that flexible and didn’t want to feel pressured. But I did want yoga to be a part of my holiday, maybe with some group classes or private sessions. By focusing on my own yoga practice, I noticed real results: my body was less tense, and I felt more calm and centred.

So, on this International Yoga Day, I want to highlight some retreats that offer a flexible approach, letting you develop your yoga practice at your own pace or join group classes without feeling out of your depth. Whether you're a beginner or have been practicing for years, you'll receive expert guidance from world-class teachers and get to practice in stunning outdoor locations.

Six Senses Vana, India

Six Senses Vana is located close to Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Vana offers a sanctuary for those seeking to pause, reflect, and connect with nature. With personalised yoga sessions, Ayurveda treatments, Tibetan medicine, and natural healing therapies, it's a place to find peace and harmony.

MasQi - The Energy House, Spain

The yoga programme at this intimate retreat offers the chance to explore various styles of yoga, helping you find what suits you best. You'll also have the opportunity to learn different meditation techniques, such as using the vibrations and sounds of the gong, harmonic bowls, and practicing yoga Nidra (also known as yogic sleep).

Paradise Plage, Morocco

This trendy beachfront eco-resort offers three yoga classes a day, making it ideal for anybody looking to go full throttle into their yoga retreat. From Hatha to Yin, there are a wide range of styles to explore, as well as the option to add on surfing or paddle boarding if that floats your boat.

Porto Elounda, Greece

Immerse yourself in daily Hatha yoga practice to achieve balance for both body and mind by the glimmering Mediterranean sea. Perfect for beginners, the Discover Yoga programme includes private Hatha yoga sessions, meditation, and pranayama (breath regulation), combined with signature spa treatments from Six Senses.

Datu Wellness, Italy

If you want to experience authentic yoga and Ayurveda without travelling to India, consider Datu. Here, in the rolling hills of Tuscany, some of India's best teachers offer expert instruction that goes far beyond just physical movement.

Absolute Sanctuary, Thailand

You'll only find the most highly trained instructors at Absolute Sanctuary, a leading wellness destination. With 10 different classes on offer including intro, hot and detox yoga, you'll want to spend most of your time in their newly built Yoga Sun Shala. The team focuses on ridding you of fatigue, improving your joints and creating stillness within your busy world.
