Our Koufonisia home
the small Cyclades experience
Koufonisi is a destination we cherish because it is equally vibrant & peaceful, wild & safe. It endorses the vitality of island summer while keeping its untamed spirit - like few places do. A tiny island, all walkable, with moonshaped rock formations, torqouise waters & a small whitewashed town that transforms you into a local within days.
natural simplicity
Nowadays, it is rare being in a place with bad internet signal, only 1 taxi, few (but good) restaurants and not everything you need at your fingertips. The nature of the island, our Cycladic homes by the sea and a mindful itinerary, make it the ideal place to find slowness.
We gradually linger into a freer self anchored in nature and adventure. Without noticing we neglect the time, our phones, what day it is and start living in island pace. Our Koufonisia retreats offer a balance of self-care, exploration, and genuine connection.
itineraries
Our itinerary is a simple blend of mindful movement and life by the sea. The simplicity is intentional in order for every body to find their pace and embrace the elements as the retreat progresses. Time is mostly spent outdoors in big terraces sharing stories & tastes, in an airy shala sharing silence & breaths and at the deep blues sharing myths & adventure.
Suggested timings & rituals are offered so our retreat can unfold in a respectful manner. You can join as little or as much as you like, and explore with the group or on your own.
true freedom
What makes our retreats special is that pure sense of freedom that can be experienced only in walkable lands. The island’s small size, our location’s proximity to the beach and the otherworldliness of the landscape create the grounded feeling that we miss in our everyday.
That instant swim, a spontaneous walk in town, a guided meditation on the rocks, an impromptu dance passing by the local taverna. Life is happening here and we have a way of making space for the unexpected as much as for the timely & well catered.
You can be yourself here. Maybe a long forgotten one.
days by the sea
This is how a day passes in our retreats: Waking up to the smell of coffee, we get ready for morning practice. After moving and breathing, we savor the delicate tastes of our home cooked brunch. We put on our bikinis and walk down to the pier to hop on the boat that takes us around the island.
With the sounds of traditional songs on the tiny boat speakers, we sail to untouched beaches, we dive in the crisp waters and open our eyes to see the vastness of the sea. Stepping onto a hidden cove, we pat down our hair, re-tie our sarong around our waist and we walk to the tiny town.
our island home
Two Cycladic style beachfront villas overlooking one of the most dreamy beaches of the island. The villas blend harmoniously with the raw landscape of Koufonisia and their large outdoor spaces are ideal for lazy afternoon siestas and big noisy Greek feasts.
The beach is just 10 minutes away on foot while the small town is a beautiful 30 minutes walk through the main road, or a 1 hour walk on the sandy coast, full of big and small coves for you to explore. There are two cafes on the beach for a small lunch or a cocktail ;)
moving in nature
The shala is located on the south west part of the resort. We walk down a beautifully shaped path, passing by rosemary and lavender, crossing over a little stone-built bridge and arriving at a quiet space bathed in sunlight.
The space is beautifully made with natural materials and a large shade of bamboo. Its large openings create an instant rapport with nature and the airy white curtains bring a dreamy allure to the room making it so easy to let everything go and even sleep on every savasana.
local tastes
Our Koufonisia nutrition is a carefully curated blend of island tastes and vegetarian diet catered by a local team. Our people use the freshest daily produce from Koufonisia and the nearby islands to bring each meal to life.
The menu offers not only a yogic diet but also a real taste of Greek culture and community that transcends every gathering and food sharing. We are consciously creating a rich food experience with a balanced blend of protein, fruits and vegetables, and dairy based on local recipes and twisted traditional dishes.
