Yoga retreats in the Var
la mer à pied, le silence en plus
We’ve already had the chance to host several yoga retreats, and the feedback consistently highlights the same thing: the variety of practice settings — terraces, gardens, the sea and the hillside — and the quality of the silence that surrounds them all.
That’s the experience we invite you to share.

More than a group gîte: a family home for your yoga retreats
Between forested hills and the Mediterranean, Le Mas de la Gavaresse has been our family home for five generations. A former wine estate, this carefully restored Provençal mas, surrounded by a large Mediterranean garden, combines authentic charm, comfort and serenity, in complete privacy.
We know how much a peaceful, adaptable setting matters for group yoga practice: the house, our outdoor spaces and the hillside give your participants the freedom to gather all together or split into smaller groups as sessions unfold.
Easy access for groups travelling from afar
Toulon station, with TGV and regional connections from Paris and other major French cities, is just twelve kilometres away.
Toulon-Hyères airport, a quarter of an hour from the Mas, runs a seasonal direct flight to London — handy for our British guests — alongside domestic connections to Paris, Nantes, Brest and Lille.
For international groups, Nice and Marseille airports open up further options, with numerous direct European connections.
A peaceful estate, ideal for meditation and morning practice
We’ve chosen a place free of noise disturbance — no amplified music, no loud entertainment — an approach that makes particular sense for yoga practice: quiet mornings for meditation and the first sun salutations, days shaped by the rhythm of sessions, evenings to settle before picking back up the next day.
From terraces to gardens: several spaces to host everyone at once
The sheltered Orangeraie terrace offers a first protected practice space. The living rooms of our three gîtes also work for small indoor sessions, though not for hosting all 15 to 20 participants at once.
It’s the garden that offers the most room: its upper part, facing the hillside, and its lower part, tucked into the vegetation, can each host the full group — your choice, depending on the light or the atmosphere you’re after.
Sea & hillside: your practice spots in Le Pradet
Groups who’ve stayed at the Mas have often chosen to split their sessions into smaller groups: in the living rooms, on the terraces, in the gardens for everyone together, but also further afield.
On the hillside above the Mas, or by the water, several clear, flat spots under the pines offer stunning sea views — reachable on foot, with a shorter or longer approach depending on the spot. The beaches also offer other practice spots, just as calm and intimate.
The possibilities are many: each group charts its own path between garden, hillside and shoreline.
Equipment available to you
We already have some equipment (mats, blocks, straps, meditation cushions, blankets) and work out with each organiser what can be made available depending on the group’s needs.
Rates
from €28 /person/night
Full privatisation of the mas, 15 to 20 people, mid-season.
Tailor-made
Every group has its own requirements — schedules built around daylight (sunrise or sunset), choice of practice spot depending on weather or atmosphere, specific equipment to plan for, particular dietary needs for shared meals, mixed skill levels within the same session… Let’s talk directly: we’ll do our best to make sure logistics never get in the way of your programme, offering the best possible arrangements (for shared meals, catering or an in-house chef able to adapt to particular dietary requirements).
