Practice Yoga, eat nutritious local food and indulge in a range of therapies at the picturesque Family Hotel, MADONNA. It is located on the high edge of the sprawling village of Vatera on the island of Lesvos, just 120 m from the wonderful Vatera Beach with sweeping views of the cobalt Aegean waters and the green countryside. Flower borders, mature gardens, spacious back patios and sun terraces at the front and back of the property with BBQ facilities, surround the two storey buildings. Apartments are twin bedded; some family apartments are available. All include kitchen, air conditioning, tea /coffee making facilities. The home comforts, modern conveniences and the peaceful environment make it an ideal choice for relaxing and stress free family holidays. All apartments have totally private, shaded, spacious front balconies with magnificent sea views and the potential for "au natural" sunbathing if you so desire.

The brand new Yoga Terrace at the top of the garden offers glorious sea views and is filled with radiant light; a truly inspirational setting for our yoga.  It is the perfect place in which to find peace and allow the mind and body to be revitalised. 

Our Kundalini Yoga Holiday  is  suitable for beginners whilst offering the experienced yogi a chance to deepen their individual practice. We provide a daily programme and you may join in as much or as little as you choose for a rejuvenating yet peaceful holiday.
