Plan / overview
Kat and Samantha like to give their participants options with how they retreat. For some, retreats are best filled with activities, tourism, culture, and practice. For others, time to rest and rejuvenate is ideal. We try to find a balance between the two by planning meals, practices, and activities at the beginning and end of the day, leaving you to enjoy your time how you like.
The Kastellas’ style is a perfect blend between modern European aesthetic and down-to-earth comfort. The retreat center is complete with a private infinity swimming pool, on-site massage and healing sessions, a chef and bar/restaurant, and a beautiful yoga shala. The inviting staff will take care of every detail when it comes to welcoming you - you’ll feel like part of the family.
Experience and enjoy daily yoga and meditation offerings in the outdoor shala overlooking the Aegean Sea, and gather for group sunrise & sunsets. The tranquility of the space sets a tone of relaxation and beauty for each day that is truly idyllic.
In addition to our very own private beach, the island of Kythnos has 92 beaches, 2 thermal springs nearby, and several historic towns and caves to explore. Venture out on hiking trails, take diving lessons, kayak, snorkel, or simply lay on the pristine beaches with a good book.
Want to try something new? Schedule a class with a local beekeeper to make your own honey, or perhaps learn to cook local pies. Need to indulge your creativity? Organize a pottery workshop to hone your craft.
Crystal-clear water, empty beaches, ancient remnants, the islands’ mystic energy, Greek coffee, and fresh pie, long walks, and the perfect tan, all add up to your true Kythnian experience.

Two evenings during the week, you will have a ceremony/ritual around intention setting, letting go, and integration. Samantha Stuber Yoga has a guest astrologer who will be helping facilitate these, and will also be offering tarot, birth chart readings, and more!
Kat and Samantha have included 1 massage on them, so you'll book that and schedule it into your stay at your leisure.
