Hotel Rizes

Hotel Rizes offers a relaxed, intimate take on island hospitality, perched above the port of Livadi with sweeping views toward Serifos’s dramatic hilltop Chora. Its spacious, light-filled rooms combine contemporary Cycladic design with the comforts of home, while the pool, terraces, and outdoor spaces invite long, unhurried afternoons overlooking the Aegean.  Quietly removed from the bustle of Livadi yet close to beaches and the island’s main attractions, Rizes is an ideal base for experiencing Serifos at a slower, more authentic pace.

A Room to Suit You

Hotel Rizes offers 16 distinctive accommodations: 14 spacious apartments plus two private suites. The apartments share the same beautiful setting and panoramic views over the harbor and Chora, but they are not cookie-cutter rooms. Each is an individually situated residence, with its own private terrace, kitchenette, and comfortable living space, and there is natural variation in size, layout, and configuration. Apartments can accommodate up to four guests.

For something extra special, Rizes has just two suites, and each is distinctly its own. The 60 m² (approximately 650 sq. ft.) Senior Suite features a private pool, large terrace, and two bathrooms, while the expansive 97 m² (approximately 1,044 sq. ft.) Superior Suite occupies the hotel’s highest and most secluded position, with its own private pool, enormous terrace, and unobstructed views of the harbor and Chora. The Superior Suite can accommodate up to five adults.

Please note: There are only two suites at Hotel Rizes. They are available to retreat participants on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you would like one of these exceptional private-pool accommodations, we recommend reserving early.

Greek Island of Serifos

Serifos is one of the quieter, more rugged islands of the Cyclades, with a beauty that feels natural rather than polished. Its landscape is a striking mix of sun-drenched hills, rocky paths, whitewashed chapels, and deep blue Aegean water. Unlike some of the better-known Greek islands, Serifos has retained a slower, more authentic rhythm — making it an especially fitting setting for stepping away from the pace and distractions of everyday life.

At the heart of the island is Chora, a beautiful whitewashed village cascading down a hillside above the port of Livadi. Narrow lanes and stone stairways wind upward toward the remains of a Venetian castle, opening onto expansive views of the Aegean. Below, the coastline unfolds into secluded coves and sandy beaches, including Psili Ammos, Agios Sostis, Ganema, and Lia, many surrounded by little more than hills, sea, and sky.

Serifos invites a different kind of travel: slower mornings, long swims, walks through the hills, lingering meals, and time to simply be present. The island’s network of old paths passes through wild landscapes, historic mining areas, tiny chapels, and quiet beaches. Its combination of natural beauty, spaciousness, and unhurried pace creates an ideal environment for yoga—a place to breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself, and let the rhythms of the island become part of the retreat experience.

Serifos is a place where the landscape itself seems to tell a story. With its raw, rugged beauty and rich history of iron and copper mining, the island is often called the “Iron Lady” of the Cyclades.

Athens, Greece

We will all meet in Athens on June 26, 2027. The trip includes 1 night stay in Athens, Greece.
