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 Pilates and breathwork sessions to release tension, rebuild strength and restore balance
  • 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.
