OUR LUXURY YOGA resort

Our Mykonos resort it’s 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


yoga with robin & morgan

Our daily practice consists of two yoga classes, a morning Energising Flow and an evening Restorative Experience. Energise: Wake up the body and mind with an energising morning flow. A brief meditation will clear the mind and movements on the breath are designed to invigorate and electrify the body. Restore: Evening restorative practice will ground and center you, allowing for the rejuvenation process of the body and mind to occur.

Robin Martin: Robin is a certified yoga, stand up paddle and acroyoga teacher based in Seattle, WA. She discovered early in her practice that breath with body movement can release the stresses of daily life, and deeply weaves them into her classes. Her use of creative, alignment-based sequencing provides a safe space for her students to let go of the outside world and heal the body from the inside out. You can find her teaching locally in Seattle as well as leading retreats, workshops, trainings and teaching at festivals across the country and internationally.

Morgan Zion: Exercise and athletic movements have always been part of Morgan’s life. As a D1 collegiate soccer and track athlete, she always trained hard, which meant her body took on a lot of injuries. In an effort to get out of the training room and back onto the field, she found Yoga. For Morgan, yoga encompassed the perfect blend of strength, recovery, flexibility, and rest that she needed to heal and build confidence. After college, she pursued her RYT 200 and began sharing her passion for yoga by teaching her own style of athletic, fun, challenging yoga.

COVID-19 | Yoga & Safety: The yoga takes place in an outdoor covered yoga shala which is sunlight & easily aired and yoga mats will be placed within a two metres distance. Each guest will be provided with a Manduka yoga mat which they will keep for the duration of the retreat and be responsible for its cleaning. Adjustments will be offered only orally by the teacher.

a GOURMET TASTE OF GREECE

We’ve created a bespoke food experience with the resort’s team to deliver the best of Greek nature at your plate in the most creative way. The hotel’s Award Winning breakfast is a pandemonium of island goodness served in the most sophisticated way.

A special vegetarian / vegan a la carte brunch has been created specifically for our retreats where you can enjoy a delicious variety of non-dairy and gluten free options. The highlight of this culinary journey is a tailor-made dinner experience. The chef is one of the most acclaimed Greek chefs and has created a special blend of Greek style sharing plates just for Fykiada Retreats. His approach to Greek cuisine is modern, yet based on traditional recipes made with the best quality ingredients.

COVID-19 | Food & Safety: All meals will be served individually to our guests by the restaurant’s personnel, including breakfast that is converted to an a la carte menu instead of buffet to avoid crowded queuing. Our seating area has plenty of space to keep the 1m distance in between guests.
