Restorative Escape Annecy

June 28th - July 4th, 2026

This retreat is for women who know that real transformation happens in the lived moments, not just on the yoga mat. It happens when you step outside your routine, say yes to adventure, and give yourself space to explore what’s possible.

Join us in Lake Annecy, France for a women’s yoga & wellness retreat designed for movement, connection, joy, and unforgettable experiences. This is an expansive week where the vibe is relaxed, curiosity leads the way, and your light gets to shine a little brighter.

Expect yoga and meditation, sound experiences, swimming in crystal-clear alpine waters, cycling along the lake, paragliding over the Alps, and moments that remind you how alive you are.

Come meet us on the lake this summer.

👉 Say Yes to Adventure

Luxury Lakeside Retreat in the Heart of the French Alps

    Your Sanctuary for the Week

     Imagine waking up to stunning mountain views. You step outside onto your own private terrace with a warm cup of coffee. It’s quiet, peaceful, and you’re able to slow down and breathe. You take a walk through the garden and sit on the private dock, taking in the stillness of Lake Annecy as it stretches out before you. This is Villa Sarmaz. A stunning six-bedroom waterfront home designed for rest, connection, and unforgettable days. 

     Each morning, we’ll enjoy yoga and meditation on a spacious grassy lawn overlooking the lake, surrounded by alpine beauty and fresh air. With direct lake access and a private dock, your afternoons are yours to enjoy paddleboarding, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. Inside, the villa offers light-filled living spaces, multiple terraces, and serene outdoor areas perfect for both quiet moments and meaningful connection with your retreat sisters.

    We offer single and shared accommodations for a restorative week of R&R. 

    Deluxe Master with Private Ensuite $3,500

     Wake up each morning in your own deluxe master sanctuary, featuring a queen bed, a private ensuite bathroom, and direct access to a balcony or sun terrace. Bathed in natural light and framed by breathtaking panoramic views, this serene space is designed for elevated comfort, inviting you to savor slow mornings while soaking in the beauty just beyond your door. 

    Shared Dormitory (Sleeps 5) $2,750

     Designed for community and connection, this cozy shared dormitory features two bunk beds and one single bed, comfortably accommodating up to five guests. An ideal option for those seeking the full lakeside retreat experience in a more economical way, this space offers comfort, simplicity, and the joy of sharing the journey with fellow retreat guests.

Our practice is gentle, supportive, and open to all skill levels.
