Our first retreat in Albania – between the mountains and the sea. The villa sits in the sunny hills of southern Albania, overlooking a wide, untouched valley. Far from mass tourism, in a country that is still barely discovered.
The days are deliberately open: yoga and meditation in the morning, a long brunch on the terrace, afternoons at the heated indoor-outdoor pool, in the sauna and hammam. Plus a guided plunge into the clear Shushicë river beneath the old stone bridge of Brataj – a four-minute walk away. In the evening, barbecue under the open sky, cooked by Barbara of Chuchi Potpourri.
For one-to-one treatments Madlen joins us, a TCM therapist and health coach: acupressure, cupping, Tui Na massage and energy work, tailored to you.
The programme gives an overview; you will receive the detailed schedule before the retreat. Weather and group have a say – we adapt where it does you good.
Twin room, ideal for sharing – also for solo travellers happy to share a room.
A cosy double bed and more space.
A stylish room with a double bed and a freestanding bathtub.
Single room with a 140 cm French double bed.
All rooms en suite. Flights and insurance are not included; please bring your own yoga mat. Prices per person in CHF or EUR incl. tax. The booked room may differ in size and furnishing from the pictures.

You fly to Tirana. A shared transfer between Tirana airport and the villa is included (about 2 to 2.5 hours): there on Monday afternoon, back on Saturday morning. If you prefer more flexibility, you are welcome to rent a car.
Before the retreat you can add two nights in Tirana:
- Flights Zurich–Tirana on 3 October 2026 and Tirana–Zurich on 10 October 2026, incl. checked baggage
- Transfer to your hotel and on 5 October back to the airport, where the retreat transfer is waiting
- Two nights in a carefully selected boutique hotel incl. breakfast
- A private guided city tour and traditional Albanian cuisine
The Shushicë carries cool, fresh mountain water and is only four minutes from the villa. The water is refreshing yet very doable for beginners – and you will be guided through breathwork and preparation.
Flights, insurance and personal expenses. We recommend travel cancellation insurance as well as health and accident insurance.
Tell us briefly who you are and which room you would like – we will get back to you personally.
