About this trip

Ira and Valerie have been running Zen Den Yoga School Wellness Retreat Center for 17 years and have recently created Quantum Leap Retreats - international concierge retreat company! They bring to light that a yoga, anti-aging lifestyle is greater than just doing physical classes at a studio or gym.

A Luxury Yoga & Cultural Immersion Retreat ~ 8 days or 15!

October · Conscious Travel · Elevated Ease

This October, we invite you to slow down, soften, and savor life in one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting destinations—Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels, a five-star beachfront sanctuary designed for modern, conscious living.

Set along the shimmering shores of Crete, just minutes from the Venetian Old Town of Rethymno, Nautilux offers an exquisite blend of refined luxury, architectural beauty, and effortless access to culture, history, and nature. This is not a “do-more” retreat—it’s a live-well retreat.

Our days unfold in a rhythm that honors both rest and discovery:

Morning yoga and meditation overlooking the sea
Nourishing, beautifully prepared meals
Time to lounge by the beach or pool, visit the spa, or simply breathe
Thoughtfully curated excursions to experience the soul of Crete—its quaint villages, breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and timeless way of living mindfully.

This retreat is designed for conscious yogis and curious travelers who appreciate luxury without excess, depth without heaviness, and experiences that feel both grounding and expansive. You’ll enjoy the elegance and comfort of a five-star resort while stepping beyond its walls to connect with the island’s ancient roots, vibrant culture, and natural beauty.

Evenings invite you to unwind—perhaps with a sunset stroll through the old town, meaningful conversation over a glass of wine, or quiet reflection under the stars. Everything is optional. Everything is intentional.

This is a journey of presence, pleasure, and perspective—where yoga becomes a way of meeting the land, and travel becomes a way of remembering what truly nourishes you. ✨ Come for the beauty. Stay for the way it makes you feel. ✨

Who Is This Retreat For?

This Retreat Is For You if you:

Appreciate luxury, beauty, and comfort—without excess or pretense
Love yoga as a lifestyle and inner practice, not just a workout
Crave restorative time by the sea, balanced with meaningful cultural experiences
Enjoy thoughtfully curated excursions rather than rushed sightseeing
Value high-quality accommodations, nourishing food, and elegant environments
Are curious, open-hearted, and enjoy connecting with like-minded, conscious travelers
Want a retreat that feels expansive, grounding, and deeply human

This retreat is especially well-suited for those who want to slow down, savor life, and experience Crete in a way that feels refined, authentic, and nourishing—for body, mind, and spirit.

On Quantum Leap Retreats, you learn to use breath consciously; meditate more easily; harness your energy through meditation, yoga, tai chi and qi gong to cultivate a sustainable wellness, and even transformation. Enjoy delicious culinary experiences. Discover the beauty of Crete in beautiful excursions, punctuated with deep relaxation and restorative time to lounge by the pool or the sea.

Some reasons for coming on the retreat - to disconnect to reconnect and relax, moving through life transition, or desire for something more in your life - there is an opportunity for your transformation. On these Retreats you can deepen your wellness practice... be it yoga, meditation, or just a healthy lifestyle. Join us for a blissful escape to the stunning shores of Crete where every day is designed to nourish your body, uplift your spirit, and ignite your sense of wonder. This retreat is a perfect blend of movement, exploration, breathtaking excursions, delicious cuisine, and time to simply be.

We adhere to the true meaning of the word yoga: to yolk or bring together in all aspects of life, giving each and every guest a curated environment to recharge through rest, adventure and inner connection. Val & Ira are coaches in health, nutrition, business, plant medicine, energy therapy and more! Rest assured you are in the most capable good hands.

NOTE: This retreat is not the right fit if you’re looking for a packed itinerary, late-night party scene, or a boot-camp style yoga experience.
