Kaş Yoga and Sea Retreat

Kaş Yoga and Sea Retreat is a small-group wellness programme based in Kaş, a compact coastal town on the western edge of Antalya province in Turkey, approximately 200 kilometres south-west of Antalya city. Kaş sits at the foot of cliffs descending to a sheltered bay of exceptionally clear turquoise water, with a backdrop of the Taurus Mountains and the Greek island of Meis visible across the channel. The setting is widely considered one of the most scenic retreat locations on the Turkish coastline.

The programme runs over five nights and combines twice-daily yoga sessions with guided meditation, pranayama breathwork, and evening sound healing. Morning sessions — typically beginning at 07:00 before the heat builds — are held on a purpose-built terrace or platform overlooking the bay, using the open horizon as a focus point for both movement and stillness practices. Evening sessions shift to restorative or yin formats conducted indoors or under shelter as the sun sets over the water.

Accommodation is in a boutique villa or guesthouse within walking distance of Kaş village centre and the waterfront. The village itself is small enough to navigate entirely on foot, with a concentration of local fish restaurants, market stalls, and artisan shops within a few minutes of most retreat properties. This proximity means participants can engage with the local community during free periods rather than being confined to a resort compound.

Sea kayaking along the Lycian coast is a standard retreat inclusion, typically organized as a half-day guided paddle. Routes pass sea caves, small uninhabited coves, and the ruins of the sunken Lycian city at Kekova — a Bronze Age settlement that partially subsided into the sea and can be viewed through the clear water by kayak. No previous paddling experience is required; the sheltered waters around Kaş are well suited to first-time kayakers.

Meals across the five days are sourced from local markets and prepared with an emphasis on fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, legumes, and olive oil — a genuinely regional diet rather than an approximation of it. Most retreat menus are vegetarian-friendly by default with fish as an option.

Group sizes are capped at ten participants. This limit is held strictly to preserve both teaching quality and the logistical simplicity of villa-based programming.
