Akyaka: A Kitesurfing and Yoga Paradise in Turkey

Imagine a hidden gem on the coast of Turkey, where mountains meet the sea, and where tranquility envelops you from the moment you arrive. Akyaka is just that – a small town with a unique vibe that combines adventure, nature and relaxation in perfect proportions. If you are looking for the ultimate balance between action and tranquility, our kitesurfing and yoga retreat in Akyaka is the perfect choice.

Cittaslow – Experience the slow lifestyle Akyaka is a certified Cittaslow city, which means that life here is lived at a leisurely pace with a focus on sustainability, local traditions and a high quality of life. You will immediately feel the relaxed atmosphere, where you can take a break from the stress of everyday life and immerse yourself in the present.

Perfect conditions for kitesurfing With its lovely sandy beach, stable thermal winds, Akyaka is one of Europe's best places to learn and develop as a kitesurfer. The wind blows steadily from noon and provides the perfect conditions for both beginners and experienced kiters. We provide professional instruction, safety and a fantastic atmosphere on the water. Since the wind is thermal, it never appears in a weather forecast, but we promise you that there is wind! After the session you can enjoy a hot bath and a cold beer in our kite school with a view of the spot. 

Yoga and well-being by the river In the morning we start the day with yoga, where we stretch the body and connect with our breath. Located by the beautiful Azmak River, surrounded by lush nature, our yoga sessions give a feeling of total harmony. The water in the river is crystal clear, and after yoga you can take a refreshing dip or just enjoy the silence. The water is only 8 degrees all year round and is good for refreshing the body in the heat.

Local food and authentic experiences Akyaka is known for its fantastic food scene, where fresh, local ingredients are at the center. Every day you will have the opportunity to taste authentic Turkish dishes, freshly caught fish and delicious meze dishes. We visit cozy restaurants and eat under the open sky while enjoying the magical atmosphere of the city.

More than just a trip – an experience for the soul In Akyaka you will not find big hotels and no salesmen shouting after you. There is no fake Gucci, fake alcohol or anything fake. It's a very authentic place. You can enjoy your holiday in peace. Traveling to Akyaka is not just about sports and training - it is a holistic experience where we immerse ourselves in Akyaka's beautiful surroundings, let ourselves be inspired by the local lifestyle and share unforgettable moments with like-minded people. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced person, you will leave here with new energy, improved skills and a balanced mind.
