From the mountains to the sea
From May 15th to 23rd, 2027, you will experience the best of both worlds. First, you will discover Albania's pristine mountain landscape around the village of Shëngjergj: hikes will lead you to a hidden waterfall and an idyllic mountain lake, accompanied by yoga, Qi Gong, and Kung Fu.
Afterward, we head to Plazhi i Gjeneralit, a beautiful, secluded sandy beach on the Albanian Riviera. Here, daily yoga, Shaolin Kung Fu-inspired beach fitness, meditation, and mindfulness workshops await you.
