The quiet, sheltered Lixouri peninsula is a lovely place to slow down, and a beach yoga retreat is one of the most restorative ways to spend a week in Kefalonia. Mornings on the mat by the water, warm sea for wild swimming, and nothing to rush for.
What is a yoga retreat in Kefalonia like?
Our yoga retreat is a 5-night week at Lixouri Bay Beach Club with experienced teacher Nel: daily beach yoga across Vinyasa, Yin, Ashtanga and Hatha styles, plus breathwork, meditation and sound baths. Paddleboarding and wild swimming are on the doorstep, and the week opens with a Greek rooftop spread and ends with a farewell beach barbecue.
Is the retreat suitable for beginners?
Yes. The retreat welcomes all levels, as well as solo travellers and couples. The mix of dynamic and gentle styles means you can push or restore as suits you, with the teacher adapting sessions to the group.
When does it run?
The retreat runs on set dates in June 2026 (with optional extra nights). Free use of all the beach club's watersports equipment is included, so you can add sailing, windsurfing or winging around the yoga.
