Journey Within Gozo, Malta

An international wellness retreat

Come Back to Yourself in Gozo

Six days days of yoga, movement, connection and deep rest on the beautiful island of Gozo.

2nd - 7th September 2027 6 days, 5 nights

FROM AS LOW AS £1,545

6 days of restoration

Slow down. Breathe. Come back to yourself.

There is something about an island that changes your sense of time.

For six days, we'll step away from the pace and noise of everyday life and settle into the slower rhythm of Gozo - moving, breathing, exploring, resting and connecting along the way.

Our home is Samudra Retreats, tucked away on the edge of Qala, surrounded by countryside and just a short walk from the sea. Here, traditional Gozitan farmhouses, ancient stone, open skies and the Mediterranean become part of the retreat itself.

The island is rural and unhurried, with a deep connection to nature, local food and the sea.

The retreat experience

Six days of movement, rest and discovery.

Yoga and movement

Daily yoga practices to help you move, breathe and reconnect with your body - from energising morning movement to slower, restorative practices.

The Shala

Practise in a truly unique space, surrounded by ancient stone and the quiet energy of Samudra's 4,000-year-old healing cave.

The Mediterranean

Swim in crystal-clear waters, walk along the coastline, discover hidden beaches or simply spend an afternoon beside the sea.

Slow Island Living

A walk through the countryside. Coffee in the village square. A swim before dinner. Conversations that carry on into the evening.

samudra

A place unlike anywhere else

Samudra is a small collection of traditional Gozitan farmhouses surrounded by nature, creating an intimate setting for slowing down and reconnecting.

At the heart of the retreat is the Shala - a space for yoga, meditation, breathwork and shared practices.

And beneath it lies something extraordinary:

A 4,000-year-old healing cave.

Carved into the rock beneath the Shala, this ancient space offers a unique setting for quiet reflection, meditation and special retreat experiences.

Meals are an important part of the rhythm at Samudra.

Expect fresh, seasonal food prepared by the retreat centre's chef, with plenty of nourishing plant-based dishes, fresh vegetables, salads, grains, fruit and Mediterranean-inspired flavours.

Meals are enjoyed together, giving us another opportunity to slow down, connect and share the experience of the week.
