THE EXPERIENCE

The Queen of Ashtanga salutes Mykonos! Kino Mac Gregor, one of the world’s most acclaimed yoga teachers, spiritual thinkers and influencers, will be leading a 5-star retreat on the mesmerising island of Mykonos. Expect breathtaking sun salutations with floor to ceiling sea-views, a nutritious Greek-inspired menu, and a good dose of Myconian culture & nature curated by your Greek hosts.

Kino Mac Gregor has been practicing and teaching Ashtanga Yoga for over 20 years. Kino’s gentle, caring approach makes the traditional practice accessible to students of all ages and levels. This retreat with Kino will leave you feeling more confident and inspired to keep practicing long after you return home. The group’s number will be kept relatively small so that students can enjoy a more tailored guiding by Kino. Students must be prepared to practice Mysore Style, with the poses memorised to benefit the most from this retreat.

This is your opportunity to practice with a worldclass teacher and enjoy the subtle luxuries of our retreat while tuning into the eternal light of Cyclades.

Tune into your island spirit under Kino’s guidance

OUR LUXURY YOGA resort

Our 5* Mykonos resort is a quiet luxury gem (part of the Design Hotels) firmly rooted in the spirit and style of its setting. The essence of Cycladic architecture and self-care transcends the entire place, from its pure white forms to the warm wooden details and its long sea-gazing 360 pool.

This is the absolute ‘let go’ place awarded for excellence for four consecutive times by TripAdvisor. From the very moment you set foot on the hotel, the warmth of the staff and the simplicity of the design invite you to leave everything behind and just let yourself be… The excellent central location of the resort offers full autonomy to its guests as it’s just a 10min walk away from a beautiful sandy beach and 15min ride from Mykonos town.

COVID-19 | Cleaning & Safety: The hotel has acquired the “Health First” certification badge and abides by the official health protocols. All high risk areas will be daily cleaned and disinfected with a professional steam machine, as suggested by the guidelines. Room cleaning will be available on request in order to avoid daily interaction with housekeeping staff. Read more
