Details
Step away from the noise and come home to a deep feeling of connection to yourself, each other and nature. Join us on Ishigaki Island for a 5-night, 6-day retreat at the intersection of psychological healing and spiritual awakening. Through meditation, yoga, somatic practices, and immersion in nature, you’ll be guided to rest, release, and reconnect with your body, breath, and intuition. We’re constantly striving—doing more, improving, achieving. Even our work and conversations are often tied to a goal, leaving little space for genuine enjoyment. But when we're always in go-mode, we rarely feel truly connected, creative, or present. If you’re ready to experience the kind of presence that only comes from true rest, join us for our 5-day Meditation & Yoga Retreat on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa— just 2 minutes from the beach. We’ll have about 3 hours of guided meditation practices daily and 1 hour of yoga, plus occasional activities like sound healing, snorkeling, and island explorations. Most afternoons will leave 2–3 hours of free time for you to rest, integrate, or explore the island. Expect to come away with: A deep mental and physical reset, not just another vacation A renewed sense of ease, lightness, and inner calm A real connection with nature, yourself, and like-minded people A daily practice to integrate what you’ve learned
Venue
Le Lotus Bleu
4.6 ★ 26 Reviews
Le Lotus Bleu is in an old traditional Japanese house, with 5 rooms, in the quiet and well-preserved village of Shiraho on Ishigaki island, 200m from the beach and the lagoon, well known for its blue coral reef. The house itself is about 500sq meters, with a lot of common spaces on first floor, terrasses and garden. It was moved from Hida Takayama, so it is the only house in Ishigaki with that strong Japanese style. We do yoga classes, massages and excursions on Ishigaki island, so you can discover Ishigaki natural beauty, and reconnect with yourselves through relaxing activities. Our rooms are for 2 to 6 people. It is possible to book the complete house for your group. Minimum stay is 3 nights, kids under 10 are not allowed. Please read carefully explanations on our website before booking.

Le Lotus Bleu is a beautiful, two-story retreat center owned by a French-Japanese couple and reserved exclusively for retreats. It’s located in Shiraho, a quaint seaside town just 10 minutes from Ishigaki Airport and a 2-minute walk from the beach. The area is known for its charm and walkable streets dotted with small, local eateries. The house features five spacious tatami-style bedrooms, each shared with one other retreat participant. We’ll gather daily in the large, sunlit yoga and meditation room for meditation, yoga, and sound bath sessions—surrounded by the calming rhythms of island life.
