Malta Retreat 18th-23rd Nov 2025

5 day gozo retreat 2025

With Mickey

18th-23rd November 2025

Another beautiful island bekons us, this time the small island of Gozo, which is just a 30 minute boat ride from Malta.

Located in the Mediterranean Sea, the ‘island of Joy’ is a little spit of land with a unique rocky, coastal landscape and crystal clear waters.    The island is known for its beautiful green valleys, scenic hills, hidden beaches and clear blue waters.  Made up of 12 villages and a small capital, it is rural, quiet, relaxing and full of local charm.

 We have factored in several excursions, including a trip to the winery, an island tour and a pizza making experience.  But of course there will be plenty of free time to just relax, visit the nearby village of Qala, stroll 15mins to the beach, take a bike ride around the island or even to just do nothing !  Whatever takes your fancy.

Calm & quiet, with some fun & laughter, and opportunity to make new friends. Only 10 spaces are available, making this an intimate experience.

About the Accomodation:

Samudra

The accomodation is in five renovated, traditional Gozitan farmhouses that are 300 to 400 years old.  All of the rooms are ensuite and have air-conditioning/heating and wi-fi.  Most have either balcony or terrace.

Four of the houses have small pools, and all have their own fully equipped kitchens and living/dining areas. Designed with traditional old stonework, these authentic farmhouses have modern touches of elegance throughout.

There are double rooms for one or two persons, and twin rooms for two available.

The five houses are all located very close together in a quiet area at the end of the village of
Qala, surrounded by nature and close to the sea. The nearest beach is a 15-minute walk as is
the village square where there is a local supermarket, a bakery, restaurants, bars and a
pharmacy.

About the yoga

The morning classes will be an active & dynamic Dru yoga class, refreshing & vitalising. Evening classes will take on a more restorative speed, with meditation and deep relaxation, nuturing & nourishing.

Once your creation is baked you will enjoy the smoky flavour Pizza with drinks, finishing off with a dessert.

In the end you not only have the memory of the unique way to connect to Gozo and it’s herbs but you also have a home decorated art work to take with you.
