Pistachio Island Retreat in Greece
September 6th - September 11th, 2025 • Aegina Island, Greece
Nourish your soul with simple things: yoga, summer and the sea
Come Back To Yourself. This Time For Real. You don’t need another holiday.
You need a full-body reset. No noise. No pressure.
Just breath, sea air, and space to be.
Enjoy an endless summer retreat with the HIGH ON YOGA team that blends powerful vinyasa, intense yin, nervous system regulation and Mediterranean slow living.
Think:
→ Strong movement + soft release
→ Breathwork, meditation, and body-based rituals
→ Sun-drenched days, sea swims, and fresh plant-based food
→ Real rest, the kind that actually shifts something
This is where city burnout meets island restoration.
This retreat is for you if…
You’re constantly “on” and can’t seem to switch off
You live in your head and want to come back into your body
You’re craving a deep nervous system exhale, not surface-level self-care
You want to move, rest, and reconnect, without small talk or pressure
You’re ready for clear structure and freedom to do your own thing.
You simply want to spend a week in a beautiful surrounding.

Exploring the Island
The house is surrounded by a big garden and pistachio plantation. The main path that runs across enormous cacti in the garden leads to the nearby beach across the road. More beaches, organized or wild, are also at a walking distance. The hidden road behind the garden takes you to the picturesque town of Aigina with just 20 minutes by foot.

Time For Yourself
The majestic retreat house is big enough to offer private space for everyone who needs some time alone: relaxing on the sofas of the lounge room, watching the sea through palm trees on the terrace or reading a book in the garden; these are just a few options for your ‘me’ time.

Pistachio Abundance
The ‘Aigina nut’ is the gold of the island. The trees spread through the landscape, dozens of shops and street vendors sell the local produce and a pistachio ice cream should be on your must-do list. Ask for pistachio milk for your coffee!

Plant-Based Feast
The food is prepared daily in-house with love and authenticity by an experienced Greek chef who fuses the bounty of local produce with modern plant-based approach. You will dine in the garden under huge pine trees filled with summer cicadas.
You’re invited to spend a week during the pleasant Greek late summer in a secluded island paradise with yoga in a very unique Greek villa. Aegina is a hidden gem with rich ancient and modern history, once the official capital city of Greece. The island is referred to as the Pistachios Island due the omnipresent pistachio trees, which are also surrounding our villa.
A little bit on the side of the island's picturesque harbour and main town is where the retreat home is located. You’ll be staying in a 19th-century stone villa tucked away on the quiet side of the Pistachios Island.
Featuring:
→ A massive secret garden full of pines, citrus, and calm
→ Multiple sea-view terraces and no traffic noise
→ Private rooms, shared moments, barefoot mornings
→ Steps from the beach, far from the crowd
This place is magic, peaceful, raw, and real. The kind of place you don’t want to leave.
