Where you are going...
History and nature go hand-in-hand at Euphoria Retreat, located just 2 minutes away from Mystras, which overlooks the historical town of Sparta.

Kalamata Airport is one hour’s drive away; Athens airport is approximately three hour’s by car.
Why you’ll love it...
Euphoria Retreat is a adults-only destination that captures all hearts. The ten years its owners spent getting the resort ready have resulted in breath-taking design and perfection right down to the finer details. The resort blends seamlessly into the valley of olive trees and UNESCO world heritage site Mystras, which it flanks directly. The definition of Euphoria Retreat is ‘a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness’, which is inevitable after participating in this resort’s holistic programmes in and surrounded by nature. Euphoria Retreat also does all it can to enable you to take that euphoric feel home with you for a healthier and happier life.
Wellness, Spa and Health
The unique blend of Greek medicine and philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine and modern research together form the foundation of the wellness programme and spa treatments. The objective: to cleanse and re-establish physical and spiritual equilibrium. The magic happens in the particularly stylish wellness centre, inspired by the Byzantine Empire and featuring lots of golds, yellows, mosaics, arches and vaulted ceilings. The spa is not only dazzling but enormous, too: spread across four floors, it occupies more square footage than the rest of the resort put together. Natural light enters through the large windows in the 15 treatment rooms (3 of which are located outside) with views of the valley. The vaulted ceilings in the indoor pool make swimming here feel like a swim in a church. The indoor pool leads into an outdoor pool. There is also a hot tub in the forest. Relax inside after a rejuvenating spa treatment, or outside with breath-taking views. The warm section of the spa is concentrated on one floor. Here, you’ll find steam rooms, a hammam, sauna, a tepidarium with heated loungers and walls plus two yoga studios. Keep fit in the modern gym with the latest Technogym strength and cardio equipment. Personal trainers are also on-hand to offer help or compile a personal training programme for you.

What’s on the Menu
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” said Hippocrates. The ancient Greeks understood the concept of ‘You are what you eat’. The cuisine is the centrepiece at Euphoria Retreat and features local ingredients that combat ageing and inflammation whilst boosting immunity. The three well balanced meals and two snacks offered daily include the healthy fats of a Mediterranean diet, with influences from the Peloponnesos peninsula. Vegan options are available. The meals are personally tailored to you on the back of a consultation and tests. At the Gaia Restaurant, there is a long table you can dine at together with other guests, making it the perfect place to meet people. The resort also has a small bar with a selection of healthy drinks, smoothies and light alcoholic drinks.
We love
- Ability to spend all of your time at the retreat for a completely relaxing experience with the convenience to stroll into the picturesque traditional village of Mystras
- Abilities to explore further on morning treks
- Byzantine Zen architecture with corresponding lines and colours in striking design… so gorgeous!
- Wherever you turn in Greece, there are traces of ancient civilisations and history to be found. Trips to Olympia (the site of the Olympic Games) and Messini are easily arranged from Euphoria Retreat
Good to know
Strong alcoholic drinks are not encouraged for a healthy lifestyle. So they do not advise to drink these. But like the light alcoholic drinks they are available
