Batroûn is a cozy, idyllic, hippie beach town in north Lebanon, about an hour drive from Beirut without traffic. This is where I’m based when in Lebanon: beach bumming in my bikini, doing Yoga, Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, biking, getting lost through cobble-stone streets, drinking lemonade, boating and sipping local micro-beer. If you’re thinking of a relaxing Yoga & Wellness getaway, look no further than Darma Ji Yoga in Batroun!
Centrally located, Darma Ji is literally 5 steps away from Bahsa Beach and Ray’s Restaurant along the Batrouni shores (Mediterranean Sea). It is a beautiful free standing Yoga studio, painted in white with colorful Boho designs, so easy on the eyes and the perfect place to relax. Yoga classes are held daily. Several rooms are for rent with a Wellness Health Bar open to the public, which you can read more about below. If you’re catching my drift, you literally don’t need to move very far for weeks when staying here.
