The Sea Rock is the latest concept by Aegialis Hotel and Spa, a beautiful private villa located footsteps from the sea and a short walk away from the quaint town of Aegiali Bay. Wake up to breathtaking views of the Big Blue, take a dip in the private pool, and enjoy the good energy of the Amorgian sun. The Sea Rock offers privacy and quiet, a space where you can really allow yourself to be free, relax, recharge, and reconnect with yourself.
The yoga shala is a futuristic geodesic dome (100 square meters) fully equipped that has been custom made on the property, spacious with plenty of light and sea view. It is basically an indoor space, not outdoors in the sun and the sea breeze. You may choose from single accommodation or shared accommodation as double, triple, or quadruple. All rooms come with sea views and elegant decor to provide you with inspiration and an overall relaxing experience.
