Gozo Island



RECONNECT TO YOUR INNER SELF



Held on the island of Gozo, The Samudra Experience is a six-night healing retreat offering a structured, supportive space to step out of everyday pressure and reconnect with yourself.

Through daily embodiment practices, three personal treatments, and close support from our team of six facilitators, this retreat invites you to pause, listen, and gently explore what matters most to you now - your inner world, your direction in life, and your relationship with yourself.

Samudra Retreats in Gozo was featured by Condé Nast Traveller among a curated selection of best affordable yoga and wellness retreats across Europe, recognised for its combination of embodied practices, meaningful group facilitation, and scenic island setting.  

A SAFE SPACE FOR SELF-DISCOVERY



At Samudra, transformation is understood as a gradual, embodied process — not becoming someone new, but restoring access to parts of yourself that may have been shaped by stress, survival patterns, or long-term emotional holding.

Through trauma-aware facilitation and daily embodied practices, participants are supported in reconnecting with sensation, emotion, and personal truth in ways that respect individual capacity and integration.

During the retreat, participants are supported to:

≜ Explore and gently integrate fears that contribute to emotional guarding

≜ Examine and reframe limiting belief patterns through guided inquiry and group reflection

≜ Recognise and soften habitual survival responses stored in the body

≜ Reconnect with bodily sensation as a source of information and choice

≜ Strengthen inner stability, self-worth, and emotional safety

≜ Experience connection, pleasure, creativity, and relational openness without pressure to perform, please, or bypass authentic feeling

All practices are invitational, and participants are encouraged to move at a pace that supports long-term integration rather than short-term intensity.

“I hesitated before signing up, and now I can’t imagine my life without this experience. To say it changed my life is not hyperbole. Go to Samudra, and step into the greater majesty of life.”

“I feel lighter and brighter and genuinely happier, like a huge load has been lifted from my shoulders. Like I can enjoy life again, and not be so overworked, worried, and down.”

A PLACE THAT SUPPORTS STILLNESS AND REFLECTION



Just off the coast of the north of Malta, Gozo is a tiny Mediterranean paradise. Our Samudra sanctuary is located in the lazy south-coast village of il-Qala where guests stay in our 400+ year old farmhouses, with access to private rooms, pools, and communal spaces.

The Samudra Shala includes our underground healing cave used for reflection and selected practices. Nature, sea air and simplicity are woven into the retreat experience, supporting a slower pace and deeper presence.

SAMUDRA STORIES

  • I would highly recommend this spiritual retreat to everyone who lives in a performance-oriented, highly logical and rational world, and is looking to balance it out, gain an overview of what he or she is trying to achieve, build a better connection with other people, and get energised through deep connection with his or her emotions and spirituality.

    Martin, Slovakia - July 2025

  • Wonderful people, magical place. Gozo has a unique energy that invites you naturally to slow down. The entire Samudra family created an atmosphere where it felt safe to express myself even when it was difficult to wrap my thoughts into words. The wisdom they shared is beyond fascinating and they genuinely helped to navigate through all feelings. The balance between activities (both group & individual) and freetime was just right. The food was incredibly delicious and nutritious. They took an extra mile with everything. It truly felt like belonging to a community from day 1.

    Eszter, Hungary, May 2025

  • Samudra retreats has been created with love, attention to detail, and a real desire to care for everyone who attends. This is evident through the thoughtfully created programme, the safe and comfortable setting, the incredible food (chef Nikos deserves his own special mention), and the attempt to build community and safe spaces before, during, and after the retreat.

    Manisha, U.K, April 2025

  • I decided to start the year with a Spiritual Retreat. What better way to align the mind, body and soul? I knew I wanted a place that offered a variety of modalities especially the soul component. Samudra delivered that in ways that were beyond my expectations. Massage, Reiki, yoga (on the beach), sound bathing with a Shaman and so much more. I felt surrounded and supported by love, compassion and understanding and it was an experience I will hold in my heart forever. This is not a one time experience though. The insights and the clearing of emotional pain is an ongoing journey so I will be returning very soon.

    Caroline, U.K - January 2025

  • Tucked away on a wee island made from rose quartz rocks Churches on every corner, secret beaches and coastal walks There's a place which gathers together waters into an oasis in the desert of life Where you can face, feel, process, release all your troubles and strife... Inhale the energy and positivity, let it warm your heart and feed your soul Let it embrace you, raise your vibration and help make you whole Samudra to me was love, peace, nourishment, healing, forgiving So trust, be open, let go and bathe in the warmth of slow living... :)

    Excerpt of a poem by Jerry, Scotland, January 2025

  • I needed a retreat because I had zero energy and personal emotions and was drained mentally and physically. I looked through 100’s of retreats and this is the one that spoke to me the most. Just going was completely out of my comfort zone, so that in itself was an accomplishment. However, participating in activities was also a big achievement as I had never done anything like this. If you are hesitant for any reason, please be reassured that you will be made to feel welcome and at peace, and nothing negative will come from your decision to go to Samudra Retreat. It is highly recommended.

    Ross, U.K - November 2024

  • My experience at Samudra was life changing. I am so grateful for the time and space to go inward that the retreat and hosts provided. Every element of the experience was beautifully crafted, and the inclusion of multiple healing modalities and practitioners was incredible for the mind, body and soul. Thank you for creating such a warm, safe and healing place - I am forever grateful to the Samudra Family.

    Melanie, USA - June 2024

  • Samudra Retreat is a very special place. The team are very welcoming and the attention to detail to ensure each guest gets the most out of all that is on offer is fabulous. Everything from the delicious food to the carefully thought out therapies ensure that your time in Gozo is healing and wonderful. I travelled alone but the balance of time to yourself and with others is perfect, I loved the structure to the days coupled with free time to swim or simply relax. The Island is very peaceful. A truly restorative retreat. You will not be disappointed.

    Lisa, U.K, October 2024

  • I am short of words to describe my experience in Samudra. I went to the retreat alone, slightly anxious and hesitant. I left the retreat with a peaceful mind, rested, joyful, excited about life and last but not least with friends for life from all over the world. Mila, Luca and Jade are truly wonderful and I felt at home from the first moment. Alone time, treatments and community time were in perfect balance. The food looked beautiful, tasted great and was really fulfilling. Im truly grateful to myself for going there and to the people of Samudra for being there. I have recommended Samudra to all of my friends by now and I recommend it to you dear reader. There is a magic in Samudra that cannot be put into words, only experienced!

    - Ann Turan, Estonia, July 2024

  • I had a wonderful time at Samudra! The hosts are very welcoming and it’s also a super personalised retreat. Really enjoyed practicing yoga at the beach almost every day. Plus the nature surrounding the retreat centre is stunning. Recommended!

    Hannah, Netherlands. April 2024

  • I searched for more than 'just' a yoga retreat, and wanted a bit of luxury, and found the perfect retreat for me with many activities and still, lots of private time. The entire program was unbelievable, and very much appreciated! I feel like I've grown personally and spiritually in more ways than I could have imagined. I feel lighter and brighter and genuinely happier, like a huge load has been lifted from my shoulders. Like I can enjoy life again, and not be so overworked, worried, and down. I gained clarity, learned a ton about myself and others. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The hosts of this retreat were absolutely incredible! They took care of us as if we were friends and family. If I had to describe this retreat in 2 words, it'd be HIGH QUALITY.

    Jessica, USA. April 2024

  • Of the 30+ retreats I researched across Europe, this one felt the most personal and authentic. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was the perfect blend of activities mixed with alone time for reflection, wonderful conversation, and beautiful nature.

    Megan, USA. May 2023

  • This retreat had the perfect balance of quiet and connection with others. It was a very authentic retreat, and the leaders, Luca, Jade, and Mila, are such beautiful souls. The retreat had a 'family' feel, and this was something that I really appreciated. Despite being in different parts of the world, I made some new 'soul' friends I know I will remain connected with. I plan on returning next year for my annual retreat.

    Danielle, Hong Kong. July, 2023.

  • Hands down the best decision I have ever made for myself in this existence. In just one week, this retreat has given me the power to change my life. It is truly a mind-blowingly magical, enlightening, healing, and transformational experience from start to finish, but doesn’t end there… Thank you, Samudra Family, for holding such a special space for me. I will be eternally grateful.

    Amanda, St Louis. July, 2023.

  • Magical & transformational -you will never be the same again. When it comes to describing this retreat, I am almost lost for words. I get emotional just thinking about it. This retreat has been designed with so much love, heart and soul and is not to be missed.

    Moon, UK - May 2023

  • Your retreat called me and I came. This has been the best gift I have ever had. That I have ever given myself. Thank you for sharing, for your teachings, your wisdom and your guidance.

    Stacey, UK - January 2023

  • I didn’t know what to expect when I booked the retreat and my main goal was to reduce the anxiety. The experience has been so much more than I imagined. True self discovery journey, going really deep and the transformation I felt at the end was amazing. You learn so much about yourself, your emotions, hidden traumas, your fears but also work on letting all the negativity and stress leave your body, deep relaxation, cleansing, working on your mind, body and emotions. I loved the individual approach, great organisation, wonderful healers but also fantastic healthy food! I’m definitely going back 🥰 Thank you Samudra Team 🙏

    Iwona, Poland - June 2024

  • I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful retreat experience I had with all of you. It was truly life-changing, and I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the love, support, and wisdom you shared with me.
