Aegialis Hotel & Spa is conveniently located within walking distance of the two most beautiful beaches in Amorgos: Aegiali and Levrossos. CNN has recognized it as one of the top five Yoga Hotels in Greece.

The hotel is also just 1km away from the main area of Aegiali, where you can find various shops, cafes, and restaurants. The island has two ports, Aegiali (1km away) and Katapola (22km away).

Enjoy stunning views of the Aegean sea from each room's private patio and access to the spa's sauna, hamam, jacuzzi, indoor heated seawater swimming pool, and fitness center. With two beaches and a local village within walking distance, your all-inclusive rate even includes a 30-minute massage at the spa.

Amorgos, the island where Ulysses was drawn by Goddess Kirki, attracts wellness and yoga enthusiasts with its strong revitalizing energy, gorgeous landscape, nourishing meals, and abundance of therapeutic herbs, making it the perfect location for a healing retreat.

Travel to Amorgos

Amorgos can only be accessed by ferry. You can fly into Athens and take the LONG ferry or fly into Santorini, Naxos, or Mykonos and take the SHORT ferry. If you're prone to seasickness, take the shorter ferry and look for the High Speed option.

Check schedules on Ferry Hopper and plan to arrive on time for the first day, allowing for wind delays. Shuttle from either ferry port to the resort on Sept 22 and 29 is included in your rate.

I highly recommend from experience that you account for the length of travel, jet-lag, and possible delays and spend an extra night or two in Greece before the retreat if possible.

THE NOT-SO-AVERAGE DAY AT A GLANCE

(subject to change)

8-10 am: Vinyasa Yoga

10 am: Hearty Brunch

Midday/Afternoon: Afternoons are wide open and open to your design! A few options: spa treatments, pool time, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, exploring the nearby villages by foot, napping, silent time on your private balcony overlooking the sea, or lounging in a hammock chair with a green smoothie.

After a day of outdoor play and adventuring, refresh your (aching) muscles with a soak in the sea or a hot sauna and emerge relaxed and ready for your second practice of the day.

One group boat excursion to beaches and islands accessible only by private boat is included in your package, and will take place in the afternoon.

6:30-8 pm: Restorative Yoga and Meditation

8:30 pm: Dinner

Meals:

Our rate includes lodging, yoga, daily communal brunch, and farm-to-table dinner featuring vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Meals are made with organic vegetables from the resort's gardens and traditional Greek recipes from the owners’ grandparents.

Weather:

Locals will tell you September is the best time to visit the Cyclades! The sea has been warmed by all the summer months, the tourist crowds have thinned, and flights and hotels are more affordable. Expect to wear summer clothes but bring a light windbreaker for the ferries, a UPF shirt for hiking under the elements (Amorgos is known for its beautiful hiking trails), a swim suit, and yoga clothing.

Check in is any time after 3pm on September 22.

Wifi and Cell Service

Depending on your service provider, cell service is available on Amorgos. If desired, contact your service provider to set up an international calling plan ahead of your trip, to avoid large roaming overages. Wifi is available at our hotel in common areas and rooms.

Tips and Gratuities

At the end of the retreat, you can leave a tip for the resort staff in cash or credit card. I generally recommend $5-10/day at your discretion.

COVID

You agree to be fully vaccinated 2 weeks prior to trip departure and wear a good quality mask in airports and on airplanes and public transportation when traveling to the retreat center.

Exemptions to the vaccine requirement will be considered for individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from being vaccinated and for individuals with sincerely held religious beliefs that prohibit them from being vaccinated with an agreement to a rigorous plan for testing. If this applies to you, please email lilyyoga@gmail.com to coordinate a plan to keep you and everybody safe and well.

We will provide no refund or other reimbursement to you if you are unable to participate in the Yoga Retreat due to illness such as COVID 19 prior to trip departure or during the Yoga Retreat but reimbursement can typically be sought from most travel insurance policies. If you test positive for Covid while on Yoga Retreat, you agree to obtain your own private room to quarantine. For these reasons, you should inquire as to your coverage regarding Covid with your travel and health insurance carriers.

Passports, Visas, Documents

It is your responsibility to obtain all required travel documents including but not limited to Passports, Driver's Licenses, Schengen Visas, and Immunization Records associated with any destination. For many countries, passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the duration of the trip.

Be sure to review all our Terms and Conditions outlined in our Yoga Retreat Contract. You will both initial the contract with your online purchase to indicate you have read and accepted the terms and you will receive a legal signature document with your Retreat Welcome Email the week after purchase.

Cancellation Policy

Your $1,000 Deposit is Non Refundable and Non Transferrable. Please be sure to read your Retreat Contract for our full Cancellation Policy. Since third party vendors and resorts are paid in advance, we must adhere strictly to this policy to maintain the exceptional standards of our retreats.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not included and highly recommended. You are responsible for purchasing your own travel insurance policy for the retreat, all corresponding travel expenses, and medical care abroad. If you cancel due to unforeseen illness or personal or family emergency before or during the retreat (including COVID 19, pregnancy, surgery or injury), miss part of the retreat due to travel delays, lose luggage or have a delayed luggage, or require medical care abroad, we cannot reimburse you, however your personal travel insurance policy typically can.

Please note many travel insurance companies require you to purchase a policy within 14-21 days of any initial deposit for the trip.
