    The magical, ancient isle of Skyros is the ideal place to try something new, learn new skills and discover hidden talents. Choose the Skyros Centre, home to the Writers' Lab, Life Choices programme and the Art Studio; or the holistic holiday in Atsitsa Bay, right by the sea in the arms of a magnificent pine forest. Either way, you'll have a holiday to remember. Skyros-in-Thailand is hosted at the tropical Samed Cabana Resort, on the edge of a white sand, palm-fringed beach on the magical island of Koh Samed, an area of exceptional beauty and part of a marine National Park. Don't miss the snorkeling trips and visit to the giant sea turtle sanctuary as well as yoga classes, creative writing, meditation & more. Havana is the perfect place to learn Cuba's national dance - salsa. Facilitated by a top Cuban dance tutor, everyone also has a Cuban dance partner for speedy, fun progress. Or take the photography course with filmmaker Julian Doyle and capture the spirit of Havana through the lens. This is Skyros with a Latin vibe! An adventure exploring the country's hidden treasures commencing from the capital, Phnom Penh, continuing to Battambang, trekking along Phnom Sampov mountain and visiting temples and caves near Ton Le Sap. Then on to the awe inspiring ancient temples of Angkor Wat, a UNESCO world heritage site. Art and photography courses along the way too! Skyros offshoot, The Grange by the Sea, on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, is a gorgeous Georgian country house with comfortable 4-star guest accommodation listed in the AA's Best British B&B Guide. Home to the Skyros head office, The Grange offers weekend courses, health & beauty treatments and year-round bed & breakfast accommodation. |

Skyros, described by The Guardian as ‘the first and still the best’ alternative holiday, offers the independent-spirited traveller a totally unique and unforgettable holiday. The perfect antidote to dated package holidays, this is an adventure that opens the heart, expands the mind, recharges the body and uplifts the spirit. On a Skyros holiday you can stretch the body in a yoga class, try some windsurfing, abseil, learn to dance to the rhythms of salsa, create your own artistic masterpiece, start the novel you have been thinking about, lead a comedy-improvisation event, sing your favourite songs or take a look at what you really need in life. Courses, usually held outdoors in the beautiful landscape, are inspiring and entertaining. You can take as many or as few of them as you would like, relax and enjoy the company of like-minded people and the good food. Skyros holidays has gained an outstanding reputation for its cuisine and vegetarians are always catered for. More than its courses, Skyros offers a unique community life – informal, friendly and relaxed – that thrives on diversity and brings people together in a way daily life rarely does. All nationalities are welcome although courses and activities tend to be facilitated in the English language. The Holiday You Can Take Home With You The benefits of a Skyros holiday last long after the suntan has faded. They include new friendships and relationships, new interests and skills, renewed self-confidence, a fresh outlook or even a whole new way forward. The sense of renewed confidence and excitement about life is palpable. Poet Hugo Williams described Skyros as 'the holiday you can take home with you’. Elle magazine described it as ‘magically successful thanks to its unique alchemy of people, settings and ideals.’ |
