Many single people think it’s important to take time to rebalance, and to relax their bodies and minds, and a solo holiday can be the perfect way to do so. If that’s how you feel then our new Yoga and Wellbeing Weeks are the perfect answer where, over a week of healing, relaxation and inner peace, you will be immersed in a healthier way of life with organic vegetarian food, herbal teas, massage, Yoga and sound therapy in the unique atmosphere of our boutique hotel in Western Crete.
THE PERFECT MEDITERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT FOR REBALANCING
The ambience of the olive trees that surround The Mistral and the warming climate, blended with the turquoise beauty and salty freshness of the Aegean Sea make our hotel the perfect location for a week of mental and physical rejuvenation.
Your stay combines the tranquillity of a Yoga retreat with the delights of a holiday that will subtly awaken the senses; with activities and therapies inspired by touch, sight, sound, scent and flavour. Our yoga instructor, Aspasia, is certified by the International Yoga Teachers Association and the Hellenic Yoga Association and has created a programme that combines Hatha, Vinyasa and Iyengar Yoga with mudras and marmas.
The five sessions have been specifically designed to restore the connection between the subtle body (our internal energy, moods and emotions) and the physical body for an increased health and vitality state on both levels.
A full regenerative body massage, with sweet almond oil and organic extra virgin olive oil, will further enhance your sense of wellbeing where our therapists exert pressure on specific points to balance the energy of the body in a way that delivers an equilibrating effect on emotional and physical tension.
With the benefits of sound therapy recognised by physicians the world over, we offer a gong bath where we take you on a journey of reconnection and discovery back into a natural state of balance and harmony.
The visual delights are the backdrop of the Aegean Sea and the sunset at Falassarna, one of the most beautiful beaches of Western Crete, where you will also experience an evening Yoga class.
A visit to the Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete and a walk through the charming alleys around the Venetian Harbour at Chania will add a further aesthetic dimension to your holiday.
During your stay, you will also be transformed into ‘gustatory delight’ and a celebration of the tastes and textures of the world-renowned Cretan cuisine.
The diet during the Yoga and Wellbeing Week is meat-free and enables you to savour the centuries-old farm-to-table food ethos and passion for healthy ingredients that is underpinned across the island by the natural Mediterranean diet.
You will enjoy organic products with fruit and vegetables harvested from our own hotel garden (which you can visit), along with our own extra-virgin olive oil.
Locally-sourced goat and sheep cheeses are complemented by traditional Greek yoghurt, fish from the Aegean, and an extensive variety of vegetarian dishes that make the Cretan diet so healthy.
My first visit to Mistral was in June 2022 after covid and my first solo trip to Europe. I felt completely safe and enjoyed it immensely. When yoga and wellness week was offered I extended my already planned vacation to end it at Mistral. The family that run it including all staff from Anja at the front desk, all kitchen, bar and housekeepers are delightful and go out of their way to accommodate. The food is incredibly delicious and healthy. The pools are well maintained and relaxing to sit by. Day trips are offered at a fee or you can take the local bus to Chania or other places to explore. You can do as much or as little as you like. I h

Wellness Week - a different experience
This was my second visit to the Mistral and it was. Wellness Week. We had yoga every day, in various beaches and a studio and also a gong bath – an amazing g experience!
The hotel itself is intimate and friendly with every member of staff welcoming and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, kept very clean and toiletries and towels all provided. If you like aqua aerobics take part in the pool on Fridays or wander down to the beach for a swim.
Every dietary requirement is taken care of with food all locally grown and produced and very delicious. I can’t find anything negative to say and I will happily return ag

Wellbeing, Yoga and fun week at the Mistral
The Wellbeing yoga themed week at the Mistral Hotel was amazing. All of the hotel staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the facilities are of a high standard and it feels a safe place for a solo traveller. The yoga teacher was great and a lot of thought had gone into the sessions, I enjoyed sunrise and sunset yoga on the beach and yoga in her studio. It was good value with yoga, a gong bath, massage, trips and yummy food included in price. And the best thing was being part of an interesting and fun group of guests.

Yoga Week
The yoga week was great value for money with the highlight being the session at the studio. Adonis is warm and welcoming – he and his team have created something quite unique for the solo traveller. I felt safe and very well looked after here – which is ideal if you are nervous about travelling solo. Often going above and beyond what you would get elsewhere. Amazing home cooked fresh food is plentiful – you won’t go hungry here!

“For someone mature who had never done yoga, the Yoga classes were geared toward any experience level at locations of beauty that enhanced the experience. The food was healthy and atmosphere soothing. The massage and gong sound bath were added bonuses. I highly recommend the experience of Yoga and Wellness week”

A real tonic!
“A wonderful, relaxing week of yoga each day, at the sea, experiencing sunrise or sunset. We visited botanical gardens, we had a massage and the amazing gong bath. Delicious food every day, comfortable rooms, caring staff and a lovely yoga teacher who enabled each of us to get the best from our practice. A real tonic! “

All I hoped it to be and more
The yoga week at the Mistral Hotel was all I hoped it to be and more. Amazing accommodation, delicious food, surrounded by the most gracious hosts and incredible guests. And on top of that, Doing sunrise yoga on a mountain top with the most spectacular view can only be rivalled by the sunset yoga we did on beach that was nestled between mountains. Breathtaking! Aspa our instructor made me want to do yoga every day with her. It was hard to leave this magical place. I hope to return one day.
