Book the Euphoria Retreat with VIP Benefits

The Euphoria Retreat is a holistic wellbeing destination spa set in the heart of the Greek Peloponnese. It is a place created for transformation, healing and self-discovery. Deeply authentic in both philosophy and design, the retreat invites guests to reconnect with themselves, revive their energy and experience a profound sense of euphoria. Located near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mystras, it combines natural beauty, ancient wisdom and modern science in a way that feels both timeless and relevant for today's world.

A Unique Location in the Peloponnese

Euphoria Retreat lies in the foothills of mystical Mount Taygetus, overlooking the fertile valley of the Evrotas River and the historic town of Sparta. Surrounded by a private pine forest of more than 78,000 square meters, the property offers space, silence and fresh air in abundance. The Byzantine city of Mystras, with its imposing medieval castle, watches over the estate and adds a powerful historical presence to the setting.

The retreat is approximately two and a half hours by car from Athens and less than one hour from Kalamata. Its location allows guests to feel far removed from everyday life, while still being easily accessible. The landscape is filled with citrus groves, cypress trees and mountain views. The temperate Greek climate makes it possible to enjoy outdoor activities and nature walks throughout most of the year.

The architecture of the retreat reflects its surroundings. Inspired by Byzantine art and combined with elements of Zen design, the buildings create a seamless blend of tradition and minimalism. Gardens dedicated to the five elements stretch across the estate, reinforcing the retreat's holistic philosophy.

A Philosophy Rooted in Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

At the heart of Euphoria Retreat lies a healing philosophy based on the meeting point between ancient Greek and Chinese traditions. Both civilizations observed the cosmos and human nature and developed systems that describe how energy flows through the body. Many of these principles are now supported by modern science.

Greek philosophy introduced the concept of "Ef Zin," meaning living well. It also gave birth to Hippocratic medicine and the healing temples known as Asclepieia, which can be seen as early forms of spa culture. Chinese medicine brought the theory of the five elements and the understanding of energy channels within the body.

Euphoria Retreat combines these two pillars with evidence-based modern medicine. Scientific knowledge about vitamins, minerals and biochemical processes is integrated with holistic therapies. This balanced approach ensures that guests receive treatments that are both deeply rooted in tradition and supported by contemporary research.

The goal is not simply relaxation. It is transformation. Guests are guided toward a healthier, more balanced life, reconnecting body, mind and soul.

The Euphoria Spa Experience

The spa at Euphoria Retreat covers around 3,000 square meters across four floors. It offers an impressive range of facilities designed to create a complete wellness journey.

One of the most striking features is the Sphere Pool, an innovative bathing experience set beneath stone arches. Hydrotherapy jets and in-water benches allow guests to glide gently from one area to another while enjoying light massage and relaxation. The design of the space is both dramatic and calming.

The Byzantine Hammam reflects the architectural heritage of the region. Under its domed roof and elegant arches, guests experience cleansing and rejuvenating rituals that detoxify the body and nourish the skin.

The Tepidarium offers moderate heat close to body temperature. Marble benches, walls and floors radiate warmth that relaxes muscles and supports the immune system. The Finnish sauna, steam room and plunge pool allow guests to alternate between heat and cold, stimulating circulation and boosting vitality.

The spa also includes a salt room for speleotherapy, experiential showers with scented water, and a relaxation area overlooking the gardens. Each space is carefully designed to help guests internalize the benefits of their treatments and carry them into everyday life.

Additional Wellness Facilities

Beyond the main spa areas, Euphoria Retreat provides further facilities to deepen the experience. The Sanctuary Deprivation Pool allows guests to float effortlessly in water that matches body temperature, free from light and sound. This immersive environment supports deep meditation and self-reflection.

There are separate infrared saunas for men and women, which use infrared light to penetrate the body, release toxins and support circulation. A modern fitness room equipped with advanced Technogym equipment enables guests to maintain or begin a structured training routine.

The Yoga and Meditation Hall offers a calm and serene setting for guided sessions. Pilates and private exercise studios provide space for tailored training, including TRX and aerial yoga.

Fifteen treatment rooms, including two double rooms, create an intimate environment for customized therapies. A hair and nail salon completes the offering, ensuring that guests feel as good on the outside as they do within.
