Igor Dandik

Igor Dandik is a former professional athlete and hotelier with more than 25 years of experience as a host. His background in professional sport shaped a disciplined, steady approach to work and a strong sense of responsibility for the people around him. These qualities continue to define how he welcomes guests today.

After sport, Igor went on to establish and run his own restaurant, where he developed a hands-on style of hospitality focused on consistency, care, and personal connection.

In 2014, he founded Villa My Way, the first retreat of its kind in Ahangama, setting out to create a place that felt calm, well-managed, and genuinely comfortable rather than overly formal.

Set in the jungle, Villa My Way Yoga Retreat reflects Igor’s belief that good hosting is about presence and attention. He remains closely involved in the day-to-day experience and is known for personally checking in with guests, often simply asking if they are happy, and making sure they are.

For many guests, the sense of ease and trust they feel comes from knowing the retreat is run by someone who is attentive, experienced, and fully invested in the quality of their stay.
