Yoga Corfu Holidays

Standard

The two-star The Pink Palace Beach Resort is set on elevated ground above Agios Gordios beach on the west coast of Corfu. The beach is about 400 metres away, or just under a 10-minute walk. On the way back, a few steps and a short uphill climb lead back to the resort. In return, its hillside setting offers sweeping sea views and atmospheric sunsets, which you can enjoy from the comfort of your balcony. The same family has run the resort for over 40 years, giving it a personal, relaxed atmosphere. It is especially suited to guests who value authenticity, a beautiful setting and an informal ambience, and are less interested in traditional luxury. Yoga guests have access to two separate buildings, providing a sheltered setting for yoga practice and mindful time out. A particular highlight is the rooftop terrace right by the sea. Here, you can sunbathe, take in the views across the water or unwind at the end of the day in Mediterranean surroundings. This is an authentic retreat for yoga travellers who appreciate simplicity, enjoy spending time outdoors and want space for movement, quiet reflection and inner balance.

Agios Gordios is a relaxed seaside resort with narrow streets and a welcoming, easy-going atmosphere. Small shops, cafés and tavernas are all within easy walking distance. Seafront restaurants also invite you to linger by the water. The sea is ideal for swimming and unwinding. The beach has been awarded the EU Blue Flag, recognising its cleanliness, good facilities and high environmental standards. The coastline offers sweeping sea views, with gentle mountains in the background. The surrounding area is ideal for walks, little explorations and peaceful moments in nature. It is a wonderful place to bring yoga, relaxation and the Greek way of life together.

The day begins with a simple buffet breakfast. Fresh bread, pastries, jam, yoghurt, muesli, cereals and fresh fruit are provided, along with coffee and tea. A good start to a day of yoga, beach time or excursions. At lunchtime, guests can order from the à la carte menu or buy a packed lunch for day trips. Lunch is not included in the price of the stay and can be chosen flexibly on site. In the evening, homemade traditional Greek dishes are served. The kitchen caters for vegetarian and vegan diets, and meat and fish dishes are also available. The food is hearty and authentic. After a day full of experiences, the bar is a relaxing place to unwind. A selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks is available. It is an ideal spot to wind down in the evening and chat with other guests.

For added relaxation, a range of wellness treatments can be booked on site. Facials, body massages, reflexology massage and Reiki are available at an additional charge.

The yoga programme combines mindful movement with relaxation and mindfulness. Two yoga and meditation sessions take place each day. Mornings focus on energising practices such as Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. Breath-led movement helps build energy and sets you up for the day. In the early evening, often at sunset, the focus shifts to gentle, restorative practices. Yin yoga, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and guided meditations invite you to let go. Classes are led by experienced teachers and adapted to different levels of experience. Beginners and more experienced practitioners are welcome. Yoga classes are taught in English.

Guests can use a pool near the accommodation. If you spend time by the pool, you are simply asked to order a drink or tea at the pool bar. The sun terrace has comfortable loungers where you can relax and soak up the sun. It is a lovely complement to the beach and a pleasant place to take a quiet break.

Kaya​​k tours, as well as gentle hikes and walks in the surrounding area, are included in the price. Day trips to Corfu Town are also included. Spontaneous dance evenings are occasionally held at the hotel, with Greek dancing and salsa creating a relaxed, sociable atmosphere.

Optional activities (at an extra charge and, in some cases, weather-dependent):

• Stand-up paddleboarding in calm seas
• Boat trips along the coast of Corfu and to Paxos and Antipaxos
• Day trips to mainland Greece or Albania
• Visits to traditional olive factories
• Private yoga sessions
• Wellness treatments such as body and facial massages, reflexology massage or Reiki

The range of activities gives you plenty of freedom. You can choose whether to spend your time being active or make the most of it for relaxation, the beach and time to yourself.
