Cyprus Villages - Our home on Retreat
At Cyprus Villages you will have a unique opportunity to stay in a traditional stone-built village home.

The apartments have been beautifully restored in a traditional style while providing modern comforts, original character and individuality. The village is located away from commercial mass tourism but centrally located on the island and perfect for discovering all of Cyprus. Join us for morning and evening Yoga, with plenty of time to fully relax and enjoy a genuine break; a chance to fully recharge in the countryside, by the pool, or at the nearby beaches.Stroll along the narrow, cobbled paths to the village square and before you know it, you'll feel part of the local community, enjoying the generous Cypriot hospitality that can be summed up in a single word: "kopiaste", meaning "come and join us!"

Experience the benefits of a Yoga Holiday
We all lead hectic, busy lives and getting away for a break is essential for our well-being. A yoga holiday is a chance to genuinely give yourself the time and space you need to relax, recover and recharge completely. How would an ideal day look? Wouldn't you like to practise Yoga in the morning, then relax before having breakfast together in the beautiful outdoor dining area of the Tochni Tavern, with panoramic views of the valley below stretching all the way to the sea. Then the day is yours to rest, to read or walk, meditate or sunbathe/swim. Allow yourself to let go, to assimilate the rejuvenating effects of the practices, to take the time for self-care that you so rarely have in the normal course of a busy life. We all meet up again for early evening dinner in the on-site family run restaurant. With over 30 years of experience, they have developed menus that focus on quality. The menu selection ranges from traditional Cypriot dishes to vegetarian and vegan options. A gentle evening Yoga practice rounds off a perfect day. Treat yourself to a week practising Yoga with no distractions, eating locally sourced, freshly prepared, food, enjoying beautiful weather in the company of like-minded people. Need we say more?
