SEPTEMBER 9-14, 2025 Hiking and Yoga with Nicole in Albania
Come join me at Bote Farms, a tranquil retreat property just 15 minutes from the stunning Adriatic Sea. Nestled in the foothills of a protected archaeological park, this serene haven lies in a pristine, undeveloped valley perfect for reconnecting with nature.
In addition to daily yoga and invigorating hikes, we’ll explore the breathtaking beauty and wonders of this unspoiled corner of the Balkans. Albania offers an extraordinary blend of sky-piercing Alpine mountains and a coastline reminiscent of Big Sur or the Amalfi Coast, with the charm of a Riviera boasting crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Immerse yourself in a rich culinary culture, ancient history, and medieval villages—all without the overwhelming crowds of major tourist destinations. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or inspiration, this retreat promises an unforgettable experience in one of Europe’s best-kept secrets..

Our retreats are always fun and relaxed with no rules or strict schedules, feel free to do as much or as little as you like, everything is optional.
