Serenity Retreat is a small independent holiday company based on the beautiful Greek island of Lefkada.  We offer retreat style holidays in Greece and the UK.  Serenity Retreat is designed for you if you are:

• Holidaying alone, or with a friend but without sharing - it's your holiday, your space is important
• On a spiritual or self-development path
• Looking to meet like-minded people
• Looking for the option of  'right on the beach' accommodation with sea views (at no extra cost)
• Looking for a choice of accommodations with no supplements for sole occupancy
• Wanting the option of taking part in a course that doesn't cost the earth or eat too much into your relaxing time
• Wanting to reach your holiday destination with the minimum of fuss (more relaxing, less travelling)
• Wanting to have the option of very reasonably priced on site massage and other therapies

The 'Retreat' concept is less about sack cloth and ashes and more about retreating to a slower pace of life.  It's about finding some personal space to simply 'be'.   Serenity Retreat provides the solo traveller with an opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and recharge in the peace and tranquility of the Greek island of Lefkada or in the heart of our very own UK countryside in the Autumn, Winter and Spring (details to be announced).

Courses will be running during certain weeks - they are not mandatory, they're an optional extra (and sometimes free!).  They are designed with your personal development at their heart.  We aren’t interested in running a boot camp, so the courses never start before 10.00am.  Our primary focus is to give you some space - physically, mentally and spiritually.

Our facilitators are excellent and passionate about what they do. They share our vision: to bring great quality self and spiritual development to the solo traveller.

The courses are charged separately and are EXCEPTIONALLY good value. Giving back is integral to any spiritual or self development practise. Our facilitators are providing their services at a fraction of the normal cost (and they also get some sun on their bones!).

There are some fabulous (we think) handpicked trips at each location and these are also an optional extra.  We recommend them because we think they represent great value for money.

This year we'll be introducing Jane, our on-site massage therapist, to the Serenity Retreat family.  There will be Thai Yoga massage, Swedish massage, reflexology or Thai Foot massage available to you too as well as Hopi Ear Candles - have a look here at our Massage Menu

So - you won't be bored, but neither will you be overwhelmed.  Your holiday, your pace.

We know that booking your holiday is a big decision and probably one of the most expensive purchases you'll make this year, so we're doing our best to make it as simple (and affordable) as possible.  We'll provide the framework, you can add the bits that appeal to you.  There are some Thursday flights available that are slightly cheaper than the normal Sunday flights.  You are welcome to come on a Thursday if it's just the holiday aspect you're looking for.

Serenity Retreat chooses to share its success. We will donate a minimum of 10% of our profit to a children's charity that we feel passionately about.

Don’t want to take part in the organised programme? Just need to chill? That’s ok. The choice will always be yours: solitude, the company of like-minded people, a week’s course, being pampered by Jane, the trips or all of the above!

Please note - it's virtually impossible to get all the trips done, get massaged to within an inch of your life AND do a course in a week.  Best you come for two....!
