Eternal Summer yoga retreat.
Crete, October 18 - 23, 2026 Elounda
( 10th edition )
6-day yoga retreat
Eternal Summer Part II
in a Relais & Châteaux heaven, where serenity, beauty and the art of living gracefully come together and where we are going to extend together our summer time.
This retreat is your moment to reset before the autumn - softly, consciously, beautifully. It is your curated experience blending yoga, mindful living & Mediterranean luxury by the sea.
Between the azure sea and white-washed serenity of Crete, this retreat offers more than yoga —it is a gentle interlude of kindness, where the rhythm of your breath meets the rhythm of the waves.
Each day invites you to release, realign, and reconnect through yoga, mindful movement, meditation, and nourishing rituals — all within the quiet elegance of a 5-star seaside complex resort Elounda Mare Relais & Châteaux.
Elounda area reveals one of the island’s most private and charming sanctuaries — a serene space overlooking the azure waters of the sea.
Beyond yoga and meditation, you are invited to experience the art of refined living: award-winning spa rituals, exquisite cuisine and moments of pure joy.
This immersion is also an invitation to explore yourself, from the physical and mental body to the most subtle.
This retreat is a joyful moment of privacy and elegancy, the days will bring together different yoga practices (dynamic or meditative) and in-depth yoga experiences.
It is not a one more retreat among others. We will live a moment together of reconnection and joy of the last warm days before autumn.
