The gateway to the
harmony of our singular
self.

—Does the setting of the Andronis Exclusive
properties help initiate new people into
yoga and reconnect them with themselves
and with nature? The hotels have been
created with this in mind. Consider,
for instance, the location of Andronis
Concept, in a remote part of the island,
away from the noise. It allows you to
concentrate and offers magnificent,
inspiring views.
—Yoga is holistic in its approach of body,
mind and spirit. Are Andronis Exclusive
guests interested in offering themselves
such an experience? The food menu at
the Concept promotes detox. Together
with the owner, we have built the spa
menu to ensure it includes a wide range
of choices and covers everyone’s needs.
Our aim is to enable all guests to reach a
state of calmness and well-being. The spa
also offers consultancy services, not only
allowing you to reconnect but showing
you how to continue this practice when
you’ve left the island. Following feng
shui principles, our cabins are curved
while there is an organic vegetable patch,
flowers and plants all around.
