the amazing things you'll be doing
Gozo, separated from mainland Malta by a 5km stretch of sea is distinctly different from Malta.
Gozo is rural and simple, its culture and way of life rooted in fishing, and in primitive pastoral and agricultural activity.
Come for some fun in the sun and enjoy this fascinating island on your healthy holiday. With an interesting mix of Mediterranean and North African cultures, this place is steeped in history, beauty and sunlight. Gozo is one of the few islands in the mediterranean which remains unspoiled.
It offers a quiet, genuine place to get away from it all. If you want to just laze around, look for culture, take a walking tour, go for a scuba dive in the crystal clear waters, or explore the world's oldest free standing structure, you can have it all here!
Yoga twice daily and a great selection of extra activities each day. With amazing, fresh food and beautiful scenery you will definitely enjoy this well kept secret in the Med. There is much to do on the island, however its the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and get away from it all.
Activities
Snorkelling: There's great snorkelling in Malta and Gozo, with the clearest and warmest waters in the Med and abundant with life. Diving: With caves, caverns, swim-throughs and wrecks this is a divers mecca and with warm waters and good conditions its a perfect place to learn. Rock climbing: There is a great range of climbs available on Gozo, from bolted routes to Deep Water Soloing. Hiking & biking: There are many great trails around the island.
Accommodation
In July and August you'll be staying in comfortable two-person apartments set around a stunning pool. The accommodation is private and the traditional limestone-style and you will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. From September you will be staying in comfortably decorated old-style farmhouses that have been converted to modern standards but maintaining a traditional style. All are equipped with a swimming pool and sun terrace, these villa style houses have the advantage of privacy and luxury within self-contained surroundings.

Most memorable was sunset yoga in the wind facing the Azure Window. Magical. Also just cycling around the beautiful beaches and sites. The cliff walk was also fantastic! (more)
how this holiday makes a difference
|
We work with local companies to support this tiny community on Gozo, Malta. We offer peaceful, relaxing yoga holidays in a beautiful environment sensitive to local culture. The accommodation is locally owned and run and during your week, guests will meet many of the friendly locals who dwell in this place. The accommodation uses a solar panel heating system to heat the water. On arrival customers are briefed on waste management, we recycle glass and paper and are instructed on energy management, ie turning lights out, unplugging appliances etc.
We use local produce in our food, as do all the local restaurants and shops in support the local economy. During the week we organise several outings including a guided hike, led by a local experienced and insured guide. He will show you animal and plant life endemic to this island. On two of the nights, we take you to a couple of local family run restaurants where you will enjoy the home-cooked local food. We organise other nature tours including snorkelling, diving and sea-kayaking to take you off the beaten path and to places in nature people rarely go. Family values and traditions are held in high regard here and small villages and communities join together for various festivals during most parts of the year. We provide local information for you to get the most out of the island and to understand and to join in with the local cultural activities. Gozo is a small, proud island which is immaculately clean, safe and friendly. We encourage guests to respect the place, eat the local produce, keep it clean and go out and meet the friendly locals. As a company we donate 10% of our annual profit to Tsunami affected regions. We operate as a paperless office and have strict recycling policies. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
