Wild Dolphin & Yoga Retreats
A Retreat Beyond Your Imagination
Imagine spending seven days on a beautiful yacht in the middle of a vibrant coral reef lagoon, practising daily yoga, meditation, pranayama classes and taking part in a range of activities that help you connect to others but most importantly to reconnect back to yourself.
The Healing Energy of the Red Sea
What makes this experience unique is that we also swim with WILD AND FREE dolphins every day! And together with the dolphins energy, a transformational container is created where old stories, patterns and habits come to light and where we feel empowered to let them go, so that we can experience life from the heart.
When you return home you will be be clear on who you are and what you want to do next. After unlocking your creativity, connecting to a state of flow and learning to trust again, you will be inspired to live a life of freedom and truth. Just as the dolphins do.
Meeting a dolphin face to face reveals their way of life—teaching us to surrender and go with the flow. We experience a glimpse of their freedom, and begin to imagine what our life could be like if only we allowed ourselves the same freedom back on land. Observing their playful, tight-knit pods inspires us to cherish life and take moments less seriously.
Through the combination of yoga, swimming with dolphins and other carefully selected practices you will learn more about yourself, gain clarity on what is important to you and how you wish to live your life. You will also be reminded that you are never alone. We are all ONE.

The Boat
The most beautiful thing about being together on a boat is the community feeling; making friends for life and having meaningful, thought provoking conversations. There is always space to get away from the group to reflect or relax but supporting and challenging each other, is part of the transformational experience.
When we remove ourselves from our everyday life, internet, family and friends we may come face to face with our shadow, emotions, and true blue print for the first time. It can be sometimes overwhelming but the beauty of it all is that when we meet the dolphins, everything feels clear and easy. They help us to make the journey easier, combining our inner work with their playful energy creates a beautiful balance.
Sataya - Red Sea
Envision heaven on Earth and you will see Sataya. Here you can reconnect with nature, liberate yourself from your daily routine, escape the pressures of everyday life, and gain profound clarity about who you are and your life's purpose.
Nestled within the Red Sea is an underwater lagoon where beautiful Spinner Dolphins like to visit. This place holds high vibrations, time feels different and what was so important back on land, suddenly feels like a distant past. Here the illusions you and society has created are lifted, and you gain a new perspective on who you are and what you want in life. Immerse yourself in this enchanting portal and swim with wild dolphins, letting the outside world fade away.
Swimming with Dolphins
Yes, they really are wild and they choose to interact and connect with us out of their own free will. We will have daily morning, midday and afternoon dolphin time. We swim side by side with them and through our interaction with them, our heart opens and we begin to feel more of who we truly are. Be ready to experience a deeper sense of flow, play and love in your life.

Absolutely, you can join the retreat! Our yoga sessions are designed to be gentle and accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior experience. We welcome beginners and ensure that our practices are inclusive and adaptable to all levels of ability. Maja will guide you through each session with clear, step-by-step instructions, allowing you to learn at your own pace and comfort level.

Yes, you will still be able to swim with the dolphins even if you are not a strong swimmer. We take great care to ensure that all participants feel safe and comfortable in the water. To assist you, we can provide a swimming ring that will help you feel more secure. Additionally, the Red Sea is known for its high salinity, which naturally makes swimming easier because it increases your buoyancy. This means you'll find it much easier to float and stay above water with minimal effort. We often find that those who initially have trouble swimming, by the end of the week have a newly found confidence and swim unaided. You got this!
-
During your stay, meals are included and served buffet-style three times a day, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Whether you prefer vegan, vegetarian, or fish/meat dishes, there's something to satisfy every palate. Our culinary offerings are crafted to ensure both flavor and nutritional balance, reflecting local and international tastes.
Between meals, you can enjoy replenishing snacks and freshly squeezed juice made from seasonal fruits. In Egypt, fruits like mangoes are particularly exquisite, offering a refreshing and delightful treat that complements the sunny climate and enriches your dining experience. -
The sleeping arrangements on the boat are designed to provide you with comfort and convenience during your retreat. The boat features 12 twin cabins, each equipped with individual air conditioning, ensuring you can adjust the temperature to your liking for a restful night's sleep. Each cabin also includes a private bathroom with a hot water shower and toilet, providing you with the privacy and convenience of your own space.
We provide all necessary bedding and towels, so you can travel light and not worry about bringing these items with you. The boat is equipped with a 24/7, 220v electricity supply, featuring European-style 2-pin electrical wall sockets, allowing you to charge your devices and use any necessary electrical items with ease. You will share your cabin with one other person, creating an opportunity to connect with fellow participants. However, if you prefer more privacy, there is an option to have a private cabin, subject to availability and for an additional fee. This allows you to enjoy a more solitary and serene retreat experience if that is your preference. -
Yes, scuba diving in the Red Sea is a fantastic option for you during your retreat. Breathing underwater for the first time is a very special feeling. Sataya is the perfect place to try this out with calm water and shallow depths. But there is also a lot to see for those who want to explore further. You might find Nemo!
During your free time, there will be an opportunity to go diving. You don't need to be certified to dive; our guides on board are experienced and excellent with beginners. It's important to note that the cost of scuba diving excursions is not included in the price of the retreat. Please inquire about diving options at the time of booking. -
We understand your concern about sea sickness, and we're here to help ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Sataya is a coral reef, which means it is a protected area with minimal wave activity. This significantly reduces the likelihood of experiencing sea sickness, as the waters are typically calm and stable.
If you are prone to sea sickness, we recommend bringing motion sickness remedies with you, such as medication, wristbands, or natural remedies like ginger. It's always better to be prepared, just in case. However, from our experience, 95% of participants do not experience sea sickness during their time at Sataya, even if they have had issues with motion sickness in the past. -
Yes, we do provide airport pick-up and drop-off services for our retreat participants. We understand that travel can sometimes be stressful, so we aim to make your journey as smooth and convenient as possible. Typically we recommend you arrive at least 1 day before the retreat to Egypt and upon your arrival, a friendly and professional driver will be waiting to greet you at the airport.

Certainly! We can absolutely arrange a memorable exploration of Egypt for you after your retreat. Usually, we offer a 4-day tour: 2 days in Luxor and 2 days in Cairo. In Luxor, often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum, we visit the Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple, and the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun were discovered. We also visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, an impressive mortuary temple dedicated to the only female pharaoh. In Cairo, we explore the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Sphinx, and other pyramids, as well as Khan El Khalili, Cairo's oldest bazaar, where you can shop for souvenirs and experience the vibrant local culture. If you would like more information, please indicate this at the time of booking

No, alcohol is not available on board because this is a holistic retreat. The focus is on promoting health, wellness, and mindfulness, and therefore alcohol is not part of the offerings during the retreat experience. This ensures a supportive environment for relaxation, rejuvenation, and inner balance. If you have any specific dietary or lifestyle preferences, please let us know so we can accommodate them accordingly.
-
Yes, we do offer discounts in certain instances. While our primary focus is to ensure a high quality of service, which includes limiting the number of attendees for a more personalized and enriching experience, we understand the importance of making our retreat accessible to as many people as possible.
Our pricing reflects the intimate nature of our retreats, ensuring that each participant receives ample attention, guidance, and support. This approach allows us to maintain a serene and nurturing environment, where you can fully benefit from the holistic practices we offer. However, we recognize that financial considerations are important and occasionally provide discounts based on various factors, such as early bird registrations, group bookings, or special promotions. If you have specific financial constraints, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. We're happy to discuss your situation and explore potential options to accommodate you.
