The experience
Arrival
Check in from 4pm, followed by a gentle slow flow and welcome circle. Enjoy a delicious private-chef dinner before an early night.
Mornings
We begin our day with a two-hour sunrise practice of journalling, breathwork, meditation and movement, followed by a delicious brunch together.
Daytime
Swim, read, wander to the beach or explore the local port. Slow, peaceful afternoons are yours to spend as you wish.
Adventure
Discover the famous Shipwreck Beach and Blue Caves on a private boat trip, and spend a morning walking through nature to uncover some hidden gems.
Evenings
Slow Flow and Yin at golden hour, followed by dinner at the villa or a local restaurant. We’ll end the evening chatting and laughing over a soothing bedtime tea.
Final morning
We’ll finish with a morning practice and breakfast before departing by 10:30am. Leave feeling lighter, with a wonderful new group of friends.
The villa
Four or five nights by the water, with a pool, sea views and room to properly exhale.
The food
Chef-cooked brunches and long-table dinners, made with local ingredients and shaped around every dietary need.
The magic
Every breath, meditation and movement practice is carefully created by Nicola and her team of expert teachers. Each session builds from the last, allowing you to really go deeper within yourself.
Beyond the mat
Each retreat is carefully created with you in mind. It is really not just about the yoga. We hike in nature, take boat trips to see the caves, have dinner out at a local restaurant and enjoy beautiful evenings laughing over a cup of tea together.

Your host
I’m Nicola, founder of Salted Soul and a yoga and wellness teacher with a soulful, creative and down-to-earth approach to movement.
After leaving the West End and my career as a professional dancer and musical theatre performer, I found a new way to share my love of movement through yoga. Inspired by my dance background, my playful flows blend fluidity, strength and grace, encouraging you to move in a way that feels good.
I created Salted Soul as a space to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself and rediscover the joy of simply being.
Love Nicola xx

Absolutely, most of our guests do. Book a twin room and we'll pair you with another lovely woman (in the rare case we can't, the room becomes yours and we'd just ask you to cover the difference to the private rate), or take a private room and join the group whenever you like. We also open a WhatsApp group before the retreat, so by the time you land, you won't be arriving among strangers.
Not at all. Mornings are energising, think flowing vinyasa or mat Pilates, depending on your retreat. Evenings are slow, soulful yin, with breathwork and meditation woven through the week. Every session has ways to soften or deepen, so it works whether it's your very first class or your thousandth.
Your stay in the villa, daily practice, chef-cooked brunches and dinners, the welcome circle, island hike, private boat tour through the blue caves, and a small group of women you'll actually get to know. Mats and all equipment are waiting at the villa, and we'll send a packing list before you travel. Not included: flights, transfers and travel insurance.
Always. When you book, you'll fill in a short form covering anything you can't or don't eat, and our chef builds the menus around the whole group. Four years in, there hasn't been a requirement we couldn't look after beautifully.
The villa itself is an alcohol-free space. It's a big part of why the week feels the way it does, and most guests tell us they barely notice. When we head out for dinner at a local restaurant, you're very welcome to enjoy a glass of wine with the group.
A £100 deposit holds your room and locks in your price, and it's fully refundable for 7 days, giving you time to book the time off work, ask Nicola anything and get your logistics in place. After that, the balance can be spread over instalments or settled in one payment, arranged with Nicola, with everything paid 6 weeks before your retreat begins. Once your first balance payment is made, payments become non-refundable, because with such a small group your room is genuinely held for you. But if you can no longer come and we're able to fill your space, we'll happily transfer what you've paid to a later retreat, subject to availability. We'd always recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation, just in case.
