The Journey

A Week Designed With Purpose

The Wellness Flotilla is not simply a sailing holiday. It is a carefully structured week where movement, nourishment, reflection and rest come together in harmony with nature. Sailing is the setting, wellness the experience, self-care the purpose.

What Your Days Will Include

  • Daily yoga: dynamic vinyasa in the morning, restorative yin in the evening, to build strength and let go
  • Workshops on holistic wellbeing, emotional awareness and practical self-care tools
  • A personal 1-to-1 wellbeing consultation with Sofia
  • Natural approaches to supporting symptoms such as pain, insomnia and fatigue
  • Mediterranean meals inspired by Greek cuisine, prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients
  • Island hopping, swimming, sun and moments of deep rest

What You Take Home

  • Deeper awareness of your body, habits and health patterns
  • Practical tools to naturally manage symptoms — including the supportive use of herbs
  • A stronger, more aligned and energised body
  • A calmer, clearer and more regulated nervous system
Sofia Palamidou

Your personal wellbeing consultation

Before the journey, every guest has a short welcome call with Sofia. During the week, you have a personal 1-to-1 consultation with her: a conversation about where you are, what your body is telling you and what you need from this week. Both are included.

New in 2027

Two catamarans, one flotilla

In 2027 we sail with two catamarans: 16 guests, 8 per boat, each boat with its own skipper and hostess. We anchor in the same bays, practise together on deck or ashore and share the long evenings — while every boat keeps the calm of a small group.

8 per boat

Four cabins per catamaran, each with its own bathroom.

Two crews

A professional skipper and hostess on every boat.

One programme

Sessions, workshops and dinners shared across the flotilla.

Alexandra Jasmin

Vinyasa & Yin Yoga Teacher

“It’s all about balance.” Alexandra found vinyasa yoga in 2014, a practice that helped her balance a demanding career in fashion with the inner harmony of the mind-body connection. After her 200-hour teacher training she stepped away from fashion to teach, and in 2020 added yin yoga to her practice. Her classes keep that balance, the active and the still: mindful alignment, breath and playful asana, alongside space to slow down, soften and simply be.

No, absolutely not. Each catamaran is handled by a professional skipper. You simply enjoy the journey.

Yes! Many of our guests travel solo. The small group of eight per boat creates a warm, supportive environment.

Catamarans are very stable and the Ionian Sea is calm in September. Motion sickness is rare, but we recommend consulting your doctor if concerned.

Not at all. Alexandra’s classes suit all levels, from first-timers to regular practitioners. Mornings are dynamic, evenings are slow and restorative.
