Have you ever thought about taking some time off?
Berat Yoga Retreat once again offers you the opportunity to transform, to heal and to encounter. We aim to build an intercultural bridge between international and local participants. Therefore, the retreat is held in English, German and Albanian. We believe that through Yoga we deeply connect to our truest selves and to others. And eventually, we realize that we are all on this journey together.
Our venue is Hotel Castle Park in Berat .Surrounded by a calming forest and beautiful mountains and located on a hill overseeing the historical city Berat in Albania (UNESCO protected). The staff invites you to “feel more home than at home”. The Castle Park Restaurant prepares local fresh and organic - vegetarian and non-vegetarian - meals. Our host Alma Spathara is a warm-hearted Albania tourism expert that offers all kinds of exciting activities around Berat such as historic walking tours, rafting, canyon exploration, hiking and meeting locals in holy mount of Tomor,Canyoning. She is more than happy to answer all your questions and goes great lengths to make you instantly feel like part of the family.
