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.

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.
