We are a small, quiet place designed for relaxing holidays closer to nature. Whilst our space, activities & food is open to all we ask parents to decide if our environment is suitable for their children. We do not have special amenities for children, like playgrounds, etc and we cook our regular meals only. If your child would be ok with this by all means please bring them, and stay mindful of our clientele and other guests during meal time and activities.

Pets are accepted in our rooms on request basis as not all rooms are suitable for receiving pets. A cleaning fee is charged extra on top of the room rate.

Pets are required to be on a lead at all times and cannot be left alone in the rooms.

We are a nature retreat with 11 rooms that offers yoga classes, you’ll likely meet people that resonate with that at Akasha.

We do yoga and we are spiritual but we do not commercialise this. You cannot be more spiritual after visiting Akasha than you already are, our practices, workshops, classes, sound healing sessions, meditations and the natural world around will certainly profoundly impact you in some way but that doesn’t necessarily mean we fall in the category of a yoga / spiritual retreat.

We’ve been to ashrams and yoga retreats, those are different experiences to Akasha. We are a lighthearted place to stay, eat healthy food that is made sustainably, meet other people, do yoga, access nature & take a break from city life.

We charge a minimal amount for classes and workshops to cover the cost of a teacher travelling, boarding and teaching at Akasha, we do not make profits from yoga.

Akasha Retreat has been running yoga retreats for 4 years pre-pandemic. Since then we could not return back to the same format of set arrival / departure dates and weekly programme as most people travel short notice. This doesn’t allow for planning in advance the same way we used to. Now we have a flexible stay option where you can choose to come at your own leisure and participate in everything we do based on what you prefer whether it’s yoga, hikes, ebiking, food, spa or simply just visiting Pestera.

Yes, you can.

We offer regular meals, buffet style or supper clubs, family style. You can book for either of those but please note:

- There is a limited seating available

- We are a zero waste restaurant and only cook for those pre-booked to honour the ingredients we use and to make to keep our kitchen procedures simple, our staff free of stress, and the food warm and vibrant. You must arrive on time for your reservation.

- We do not have an a la carte menu, we serve a menu of the day with variations each day. Every breakfast, lunch & dinner are different.

- We will of course adjust the menu to any allergies or sensitivities. However, due to the remote location of the restaurant we do not recommend people with severe/fatal food allergies to visit us.

Yes, you can.

We offer a limited number of reservations on our daily yoga classes, tours & activities for people that are not staying with us. If you’d like to experience our yoga classes, massages, sauna & jacuzzi, tours & activities these can all be booked on our website or message us directly to book your seat.

Yes, we offer exclusive use for your own private event during set months of the year for both our properties. Contact us for availability & rates.
