Wing Foiling & Pilates Week in Vasiliki, Greece
With an incredible success of our first retreat in Vasiliki this year - we are sooooo happy to announce the return of our signature Crossshore holiday in Vasiliki for 2027.
Join us for a week of wing foiling and Pilates in the beautiful town of Vasiliki, on the Greek island of Lefkada. Whether you’re trying wing foiling for the first time or you’re already confident on the water, this retreat is open to all levels, and we’ll split the group accordingly during our coaching sessions.
This isn’t just a wing foil clinic, it’s a girls’ holiday with water sports at its heart. We’re offering an exclusive and intimate week: a chance to unwind, connect with like-minded women, learn new skills, and enjoy being on the water together.
The bay offers perfect conditions for every rider, with light onshore winds in the morning and cross-shore winds in the afternoon. We’ll be staying in a stunning villa just a 5-minute bike ride from the beach.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Greece for a week of wing foiling, movement sessions, unwinding, and creating special memories together. Find all the details below!
-
Nestled in the olive groves, our villa accommodation offers the perfect space to unwind, with a private pool available for all guests. Relax before or after our wing foil and Pilates sessions, and take a short bicycle ride to the beach or into Vasiliki town whenever you like.
Please find below all info on room options below.

Vasiliki bay is the a great wing foil spot for beginners, intermediate and advanced riders, offering different conditions troughout the day.
In the mornings, a steady onshore breeze offers ideal conditions for beginner wing foilers. In the afternoon, a stronger side-shore wind fills the bay, creating the perfect playground for more experienced riders.
We’ll be based at the Surf Hotel School in Vasiliki for lessons and equipment hire. The instructors here know the bay inside out!
-
Whether you're completely new to wing foiling or already hooked and looking to take things further, we've got you covered. All levels are welcome, from complete beginners building confidence on the board and working towards their first foil flights, to intermediate riders improving their gybes and tacks, and more advanced riders practising jumps or freestyle manoeuvres.
We’ll split the group according to level, with a dedicated instructor for each group, so sessions are tailored to your experience and goals.
You'll have five instructor-led sessions throughout the retreat, giving you dedicated time to learn, build confidence and progress. Including a video analysis session which offers invaluable feedback for you to take back out on the water with you.
And when you're not in a lesson? The water is yours to explore!
You'll have access to equipment for independent practice, with the opportunity to swap between different kit, try new setups and make the most of your time on the water, all with safety cover in place.
A little note on conditions: All lessons and time on the water are weather and condition dependent. We'll work closely with our instructors to make the most of whatever conditions we get, adapting the sessions and schedule to give you the best possible experience.
-
We'll start three mornings together with movement sessions at the villa, led by Ana, our qualified Pilates instructor.
Each session will be tailored to the group's energy and how everyone's feeling that day.
Slower, restorative stretching after a windy day on the water to more dynamic movement when we're feeling energised.
All sessions can be adapted to suit different abilities and individual needs, with optional 1:1 sessions with Ana also available.
-
Breakfasts at the villa will be freshly prepared by Ana and Julia, using delicious local produce and balanced, nourishing ingredients.
Evenings will be a mix of family-style dinners at the villa and meals out at some of our favourite local tavernas in Vasiliki. Vegetarian and vegan options will always be available, and we'll check any dietary requirements during booking.
One evening is intentionally left free, giving you the flexibility to make it your own. Whether you'd like to organise something together as a group, head out for a sunset dinner on Lefkada's west coast or enjoy a little independent time to explore Vasiliki, the choice is yours!
Please note: This dinner, along with all lunches and drinks throughout the week, is not included in the retreat price.
There are plenty of lovely cafés and restaurants in Vasiliki. We'll share some of our favourite spots with you closer to the time.
Alternatively, you're welcome to pick up your own bits from the local supermarket and make use of the villa kitchen whenever you fancy something a little more relaxed.

This isn't a wing foil clinic(!) Think of it more as a girls' holiday, brought together by a shared love of water sports.
It's your chance to switch off, connect with like-minded women, build confidence on the water and explore the beautiful island of Lefkada.
Evenings are for good food, shared stories, a little vino and planning the next day's adventures.
Come solo or with a friend, leave with a new community and memories to last a lifetime.

I joined Ana out in Vass in September as herself and Julia started to lock in villas, tavernas, beaches and instructors for CC 2026. We visited the most beautiful places and everything was so easy, they have such a deep understanding of the place. Can't wait to visit with them again

Just seeing how much Julia loves wing-foiling and being able to ride in the water with someone who shares the same passion is already special.

I really liked how the Pilates was matched with the wing-foiling, no wind = more intense Pilates, after windy days = stretchier Pilates, that was great! As a non Pilates girl, I can say that Ana showed me what Pilates is all about and now I found myself wanting to do it by myself in the morning!
