Cyprus Women's Retreat May 13 - 20, 2026
Nourish. Reconnect. Reset.
This 7-day retreat invites deep rest and reconnection. Through gentle but deeply impactful Yoga practices, sunrise meditations, and guided inner journeys, we soften, open, and return to ourselves.
This is a space to nourish body, mind, and spirit through 7 peaceful, potent, and transformative days of Yoga practice in a spectacular part of Cyprus.
We practice with the mountains at our back and the sea stretching out before us. Olive trees, citrus groves, gardens and wide-open spaces surround us. This ancient landscape, steeped in the history of the cult of Aphrodite brings something extra special to our time together, adding potency to our Yoga practices.
Book by December 1st for a £60.00 discount on the retreat fee. Or book a no-obligation retreat call and we can work out the best payment plan for you!
“My deepest wish for these retreats is that all participants leave inspired, and take home life-enhancing knowledge to support their health and happiness long after the retreat is finished”.

WHAT TO EXPECT
On this week we create sacred space, drawing on the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda to offer a soothing balm for the stresses of modern life, bringing restoration and balance to body, mind, and spirit.
We offer you a rich, immersive experience woven from transformative Yoga practices, conscious breath work, meditation, starlight Yoga nidra, and the holistic lifestyle principles of Ayurveda, including nourishing food, daily routines, and healing herbs. These practices work in harmony to restore equilibrium to body and mind, awaken inner wisdom, and reconnect you to your natural state of joyful wellbeing.
In a serene setting on the north-west coast of Cyprus, the retreat invites you to slow down, realign, and remember the grace and beauty within. Nourished by the ancient landscape upon which we practice, and aligning with the rhythms of the earth, you’ll return home not only rested and renewed—but transformed, with a deeper sense of self and a fresh enthusiasm for life.
If you’ve been yearning for a break from the noise and demands of daily life, this is your time to pause — and return to what truly matters. We will gently guide you into the heart of Yoga, not just as a practice, but as a spiritual journey that leads you back home to yourself.
This is a space to rediscover the stillness, joy, and clarity that live within you — and to return home with the tools and understanding to return to them, again and again.
It’s a magical, joyful week of Yoga, rest and nurturance to which people are returning year after year.

IS THIS RETREAT RIGHT FOR YOU?
The Cyprus Women’s Retreat is designed for you if you have been hearing the quiet call from within to pause, reconnect with yourself, and to be gently held in a space where you can soften, release, and begin to reset — body, heart, and mind.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, recovering from burnout, feeling emotionally depleted, or simply yearning for deeper rest and reconnection, this retreat offers a thoughtfully curated programme to support your healing.
This retreat is for women who want:
A nourishing rhythm of daily yoga, meditation, and guided rest
The soothing presence of the sea and nature as a source of renewal
Meaningful teachings from yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda — not just surface wellness.
A sisterhood of like-hearted women, sharing a safe, sacred space
Time and space to reflect, breathe, and come home to themselves.
This is not a fast-paced yoga holiday. It’s a soulful retreat experience, lovingly crafted to restore your energy, inspire inner clarity, and support a deep return to your own wisdom.
ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD
You’ll stay in spacious, comfortable rooms — single or shared twin/double — each with a private terrace and views of either the garden or the sea. All rooms include air conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms.
Meals are thoughtfully prepared vegan dishes, with vegetarian options available. Many ingredients are homemade or sourced locally, with organic fruits and vegetables grown just steps away in the hotel’s own gardens.
MEET YOUR RETREAT HOST – SARA PALMER M.A., Memb YAP, APA, CMA
Sara developed a love for Cyprus on family holidays as a young girl. For the past ten years she has been bringing people on retreat to enjoy the wonderful Cypriot landscape, hospitality, food, and a perfect environment for immersing into the practice of Yoga and Ayurveda.
As always with her retreats, she has chosen a venue which inspires and elevates the mind and spirit, and which is full of natural healing energy for body and soul.
On these retreats, Sara brings to you 20 years of Yoga and Ayurveda teaching experience, and more than 30 years of exploring the wisdom traditions of the East and dedication to her own spiritual unfolding.
She will generously share with you all she has learned on her inner and outer travels, through wonderful teachers, spiritual traditions of the East, as well as through her own healing journey of transformation and recovery from chronic illness.
Sara is passionate about integrating Yoga, Ayurveda, and meditation. Through her retreats, workshops, and private Ayurveda practice in Warwickshire, she sees firsthand how these practices—personalized through Ayurveda—empower individuals to connect with their best selves and live fully.
This is her deepest wish for you on these retreats.
