Yoga holiday in Malta

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.

For every guest who attends one of our yoga holidays, we will plant a tree in a new forest we've started in Niger, Africa to conquer desertification. Guests will receive a certificate and will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and to monitor their tree, which will be named after them.

As of September 2008, we off-set the carbon emissions for return flights within Europe, and we off-set the emissions for the outward flight of any Europe to Asia flights if the guest offset the return journey. Guests will also receive a certificate for this.

There is little recycling on the island but we provide special recycling bags to all our guest. At the end of the week our teacher and host collects all the bags and brings them to a company who transports them to Malta to be recycled.
