On a retreat you can go much deeper in the practice and start noticing the effects of daily yoga for the rest of the day.
Where is the event?
Ischia is a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It lies at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the city of Naples. It is the largest of the Phlegrean Islands. Roughly trapezoidal, it measures approximately 10 km (6 miles) east to west and 7 km (4 miles) north to south and has about 34 km (21 miles) of coastline and a surface area of 46.3 square kilometres (17.9 sq mi). It is almost entirely mountainous; the highest peak is Mount Epomeo, at 788 metres (2,585 feet)
WHY HERE?
Stunning location, inspiring nature!
This stunning location mixed with the most inspiring nature makes it the ideal setting to make the retreat truly fulfilling experience for body, mind and soul as well as meeting like-minded people and making friends
The volcanic outcrop of Ischia is the most developed and largest of the islands in the Bay of Naples. It is an intriguing concoction of sprawling spa towns, abundant gardens, buried necropolises and spectacular scenery, with forests, vineyards and picturesque small towns. Ischia only attracts a fraction of the day trippers that head for Capri from Naples in summer. Perhaps someone should tell them that the beaches are a lot better here.
Eating is one of the island’s great pleasures; while seafood is an obvious speciality, Ischia is also famed for its rabbit, bred on inland farms. Another local speciality is rucolino, a green, liquorice-flavoured liqueur made from rucola (rocket) leaves.
What can I look forward to?
RELAX, UNWIND, BREATH, GET IN TO ISLAND LIFE!
Tell me about the
accommodation?
We will be guests at the beautiful Club Scannella. The property is a piece of paradise of pure nature right by the Mediterranean making it the perfect place for such a yoga retreat surrounded by gardens, flowers, olive, palm and lemon trees. Family owned and operated, the venue is run by Antonietta and her Grandmother, kind souls who affectionately care for the property and their guests with love. Breakfast, light lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant or terrace overlooking the sea. The food is simple delicious typically Italian and will include fresh fish from the catch of the day. The private beach is well maintained and offers beach umbrellas, deck chairs as well as many flat rock areas to practice or meditate outdoors by the sea. The property boasts 5 warm pools (3 outdoor and 2 indoor), all filled with the famous thermal waters of the island. The rooms are simple and nicely furnished, have their own private bathroom and a balcony or terrace, all with the stunning sea view. The hotel is located 200 steps going down so is suitable only if you can comfortably walk. For the luggage transport there is a cable lift so even normal suitcases are fine to bring. For day trips, Club Scannella is minutes away by boat from the picturesque villages of Sant’Angelo and Forio and taxi boats can be arranged.

Best is to fly into Naples, Capodichino Airport (NAP – Naples). Alternatively you could fly into Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FCO – Rome) or Roma Ciampino (CIA – Rome) and take the train to Naples. We recommend to choose a flight option that arrives early in Naples and leaves from Midday onwards to leave you plenty of time each way to cross over with the ferry to Ischia
Pick-up from the airport or train station of Naples direct to Club Scannella can be arranged with a transfer including taxi + boat at a cost of 41€ if shared and 71 € for single person non sharing.
Online bookings are not available for this event.
