Serenity Retreat is a small independent holiday company based on the beautiful Greek island of Lefkada in May, June and September and beachside in Ammoudia on the Greek mainland in July and August.  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 (there is no option for sharing, your space is important)
• On a spiritual or self-development path
• Looking to meet like-minded people
• 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)

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, the beautiful Bay of Ammoudia on the Greek mainland or in the heart of our very own UK countryside.

Courses will be running during certain weeks - they are not mandatory, they're an optional extra.  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.  

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.  

Serenity Retreat chooses to share its success. We will donate a minimum of 10% of our profit to a combination of Greek and UK charities.

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, 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....!
