Dahab, Red Sea, Sinai

£335 sharing, £395 single
Stay at the Blue Beach Hotel, beside the Red Sea, with its own swimming pool and purpose-built yoga room. All rooms ensuite with a terrace or balcony and air conditioning. Massages are available on site. There are many activities available, including snorkelling, diving, horse riding, trips into the desert, and belly dancing. On my past yoga holidays here some people have climbed Mount Sinai by night to watch the morning sunrise – whilst some of us have spent the week enjoying our yoga and then lazing by the pool or on the beach! A great venue to do as much or as little as you like.

Turquiose Coast, Turkey

£399 sharing or for some small, single rooms, £529 other single rooms
Stay in this lovely, family run hotel with its fabulous yoga space, good pool and wonderful food – much is organic and locally grown. Situated on the edge of the village of Faralya at the start of the Lycian Way long-distance footpath, the hotel overlooks the fabulous turquoise Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy truly amazing sunsets here – without having to leave the comfort of the hotel! There are organic gardens and established lemon, olive, apricot and peach trees. The nearest access to the sea for swimming is a 45-minute walk through pine forests, or you can take a local bus or taxi to a sandy beach. Aromatherapy massage and reflexology available.
I led my first yoga holiday at Faralya in 2011– and we all loved it so much I immediately booked in again for this year!
Fly to Dalaman Airport. Holiday price includes accommodation, yoga, breakfast and dinner. Transfers from the airport are not included but will be arranged by the hotel – or you can get an easy and reasonable minibus transfer to nearby Olu Deniz and a taxi the short distance from there (see www.resorthoppa.com and other sites).
