A retreat featuring yoga, the ocean, and adventure

This isn't a retreat about doing more. It's a chance to slow down, breathe more deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

The days begin gently with yoga and continue with swimming in the sea, sauna, kayaking, hiking, or excursions in the archipelago. In between, there’s time for rest, good food, and peaceful moments by the water. The pace is active yet gentle—with room for both new experiences and relaxation.

For those who long for nature and a fresh start

This retreat is perfect for you if:

wants an active but restorative break
longs for fresh air, the ocean, and nature
is curious about swimming in the ocean but would like a guided tour
enjoys yoga, exercise, and outdoor activities
want to travel with a small group
prefers nature-based experiences over traditional spa luxury

Here's what to expect during the retreat

Every day includes yoga that combines movement and recovery.

The morning sessions consist of vinyasa flow, which gently awakens the body. In the evenings, there are calmer, more restorative yoga sessions that help the body unwind.

The yoga class is open to all levels and is led by Laura Bell, founder of Zest Life, who has over 20 years of teaching experience. Her style has its roots in Ashtanga but has evolved into a flowing Vinyasa practice with a focus on strength, flexibility, mindfulness, and grounding.

Seaside swimming, sauna, and relaxation

The ocean is a central part of the retreat. During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to go swimming every day and take a guided swimming excursion to secluded beaches.

After spending time in the water, the warmth of the sauna awaits. Every afternoon, there is a private sauna session where your body can relax, your breathing deepens, and your entire system can unwind.

Kayaking, Hiking, and Day Trips

During the retreat, you'll have the chance to explore the archipelago in a variety of ways.

One of the days includes a kayaking adventure along the Stockholm Archipelago Trail, where you’ll paddle between islands, cliffs, natural harbors, and tranquil coves.

The program also includes hiking in the archipelago’s natural surroundings and a guided excursion to Bullerö, with time to enjoy nature, cultural history, and new discoveries in the Nämdö Archipelago.

Food and Drink

During the retreat, plant-based meals are served that are designed to provide energy, nutrition, and recovery after days spent outdoors.

All meals are included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Fruit, organic teas, coffee, and fruit-infused water are also available during your stay.

The retreat is alcohol-free.

Accommodation

Participants stay in comfortable rooms in cottages at Idöborg, close to nature and the water.
