I really can’t recommend Ioannis and his Pilates retreat at Dolphin’s Leap enough, it’s simply the best. A 5-star villa in a beyond stunning location. Close enough to walk to beautiful neighbouring villages, while still being rural enough to feel like a special retreat bubble. I took my mum on this retreat and she was absolutely blown away. Everything is taken care of (including the transfers to and from the villa which is so helpful) and you can truly just relax. The food is gorgeous and plentiful. Ioannis is pure magic. His knowledge, skills and general welcoming nature make everyone feel at home and looked after. He really goes above and beyond. We left feeling relaxed and inspired. We couldn’t have asked for more. This was my second time visiting and it most definitely won’t be my last. Thank you to the whole team who make these weeks so magical.

Truly wonderful location on the Pelion Peninsula and excellent Pilates with Ioannis. He really paid attention to our form and supported any corrections so I learnt a lot. Food was great, as was the comfortable air conditioned bedrooms. Nothing was rushed and I felt completely relaxed and well rested by the end of the week.

This was the most perfect week! Dolphins Leap is a stunning villa in a stunning location - all lovingly created by Pippa and Nick, our welcoming hosts. I joined the yoga retreat at the last minute, craving the opportunity for a real switch off and I couldn’t have wished for a more lovely group of like-minded souls in a more lovely location. The yoga platform and pool area both have the most incredible west facing view over the sea. Tula’s food was absolutely delicious and it was such a treat to not have to cook for a week! The hardest decision of my days on retreat was whether to spend the time between the morning and evening yoga classes with my book, my paints, my journal or having a swim in the clear warm sea - such a rare luxury! Thank you Pippa and Nick for a wonderful week. I’ll be back!

Exceptional setting, very nice group of participants and hosts. Lodging was very comfortable, and the food delicious. I learned a few points from the yoga experience, would have welcome more diversity in the yoga, tailored to the different levels of participants in the class. And as I was injured during the class, that dampened that part of the experience.

This was my third time and again it was great. The gorgeous view never gets old (you feel like a Greek God), the authentic Greek food by Tula is to die for and the Pilates & meditation by the sea is perfect. It's the best place to go if you want peace and quiet. If you walk an hour to the left or the right, you find small villages where, if you like, you can have lunch. And in between you can go to the most beautiful and quiet beaches. Nothing beats the beauty of Pelion and Pippa and Nicks palace is the perfect place to experience this beauty.
