    I did a 3-day freedive retreat with Blue Chitta—my very first time diving—and I couldn’t have imagined a better introduction to the underwater world. Their holistic approach of mindfulness, body awareness, and deep respect for the ocean truly resonated with me. The yoga and ice baths added a beautiful depth to the experience. I felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout. Thank you, Mayank and Nico! I hope to return next year.

    The best dorm-style accommodation I’ve ever stayed at— unbeatable value! Ocean view, amazing free classes (I did the Ice Bath workshop and Fluid Flow yoga), and a great breakfast. Just steps from the best, boat-free stretch of beach.

    I had an amazing experience with Blue Chitta. From the moment I arrived, everything stood out, the beautiful smell of the place, the food, the service, and especially the high quality of the diving instructors. The whole business feels professional, welcoming, and full of heart.

    This place is the best. Beautiful location and super friendly people. I attended some of Lisa’s amazing morning yoga classes. And thank you Em for your somatic lessons. They helped me process difficult personal issues. I learned how powerful yoga can be.

    This is a nice place that’s got its own vibe and rhythm. Seems outside the world a little, good for yoga and resetting. I also took the free diving first level with Goni and Almog who are real passionate guys who have a lot to share on it. The staff at reception is friendly too.

    I stayed at the dorm, and did free-diving and yoga. The free-diving especially was amazing. Great teachers, and beautiful setting. The dorms were clean and well maintained. There’s a lovely cafe to hang out at. Would highly recommend this place for free-diving and relaxing.

    Nitzan is an exceptional yoga teacher … as someone very VERY new to yoga, the experience was phenomenal. Strongly recommend. The rooms are also extremely spacious and practical. Strongly recommend.

    Blue Chitta is the perfect place if you want to feel at home! The teachers hold the space so you can evolve safely in your practice. Anuj and Nitzan were amazing at pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me build a healthy, confident relationship with myself again... 100% recommend!

    I had a really wonderful experience at this place. The Vinyasa yoga classes were beautifully guided, the teacher is very professional and creates thoughtful, interesting flows that feel both energizing and grounding. I especially appreciated how the sessions included meditation, making it a complete and calming experience.

    A fantastic yoga studio in a wonderful location. We attended Sunset Yoga and both the yoga class and the view were absolutely beautiful!
