Vivi and Eraj are the perfect hosts that know how to make you feel like home.great scenery and yoga schedule. Amazing therapeutics course.friendly and welcoming staff. loved every minute of it. I felt calm and peaceful. The tranquility of this place is what I needed.
The ideal place to find peacefulness and the place where the sky meets the sea and the soul meets the body. The meditation and the yoga classes that I have attended have been the absolute cure to my stress. I recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to leave everything behind and seeks a motivation for a different way of thinking. The place is ideal for couples as well who are looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway.
A truly unique experience for yoga and meditation fans but also for everyone looking for relaxation and connection with the nature, heart and inner self. Amazing environment with luxurious rooms, with natural material and outstanding aestetics, in a very large estate surrounded by olive trees and unforgettable views to the sea and sunset. The feeling is that you are in a private paradise in the middle of nowhere although picturesque Kardamili village and different beaches are a short drive away. Vivi is a great, generous teacher and hostess, while the yoga deck, the gardens with the local herbs and the delicious nutritious meals and aromatic beverages under the sun or moon are only some of the moments to cherish.
Looking forward to return.
Visited Zen Rocks as part of an organized retreat for a group of 6 adults on a cold, wet autumn weekend. We were treated to an amazing experience of hospitality, expertly run yoga and meditiation sessions, nature walks, wonderful vegetarian food for breakfast and a dinner, and a very hospitable and friendly owner operator originally from California. The rooms are wonderful, minimal with excellent taste and materials, each 3-room building shared a fully-equipped kitchen excellent for lounging, breakfast, etc. The terraced landscape featured an open fire pit and dining area with amazing views of olive groves and the entire cape and sea in the distance, which we had the ability to use each day despite the bad weather.
Absolutely beautiful and highly recommended! Will go back!
Superbly relaxing place with kind and attentive staff. Delicious meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients-this makes a world of difference. Interesting, thematic yoga seminars/classes. Perfect break from frenzied life in the city.
We spent with my wife 5 days in Mani Zen Rocks during August 2018 & our overall experience was fantastic!
The design of the retreat is great, combining a great balance between modernity, simplicity & eco-friendliness, offering breathtaking views to the sea & denoting a strong sense of tranquility & calmness.
The staff was very hospitable and attentive to all our needs, while the breakfast was also great, featuring a perfect combination between locally grown Mediterranean ingredients & super-foods.
Only thing to consider when choosing to stay @ the retreat is the distance to the main beaches of Messiniaki Mani (~25' to Kardamyli) as well as the (intentionally & strangely soothing) lack of wi-fi service.
We would definitely recommend Mani Zen Rocks for a relaxing getaway from a busy city life!
