Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to visit Euphoria Retreat?

Euphoria Retreat is accessible year-round. The mountain-forest setting provides a mild climate throughout the seasons. Summer months offer lush nature and warm days ideal for outdoor activities and forest walks. Shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) are quieter, offering a more intimate experience. Winter brings a contemplative atmosphere perfect for deeper wellness immersion.

What makes the wellness approach at Euphoria unique?

Euphoria is not simply a spa with a view — it’s designed around holistic healing that draws on the philosophy of Ef Zin — the art of living well — integrating ancient wisdom with modern wellness science. Every guest receives a personalised wellness screening with advanced diagnostics including metabolic tests and blood/urine/saliva analysis, which are used to tailor your programme with precision and care.

How do I get to Euphoria from the airport?

Euphoria Retreat is located approximately 3 hours by car from Athens International Airport, or about 1 hour from Kalamata Airport via scenic mountainous roads. The resort can arrange private transfers for guests. The journey itself through the Peloponnese landscape is a beautiful introduction to the mountain sanctuary that awaits.

How long should I stay to experience the full benefits?

We recommend a minimum stay of 4–5 nights to begin to benefit from the wellness programme. For deeper, more transformative impact, 7–10 nights or more is ideal. The integrative diagnostics and tailored programmes build progressively, and the true restorative benefits of the ancient healing traditions develop over time.

What dining options are available?

Euphoria offers full board healthy Mediterranean and Greek cuisine aligned with your wellness goals. Menus are customised based on your personal diagnostics and selected programme. The culinary team focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared to nourish and support your healing journey. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated — simply inform the retreat upon booking.

Are children welcome at Euphoria?

Euphoria Retreat is an adults-only wellness destination from age 14+. Children under 14 are not permitted in spa areas. The environment is intentionally tranquil and adult-oriented to ensure every guest can fully immerse in their wellness experience without distraction.

What wellness facilities are available?

The extensive wellness infrastructure includes an indoor hydrotherapy pool, outdoor pool, hammam, salt chamber, sauna and steam rooms, a movement studio for yoga and meditation classes, outdoor treatment rooms, and nature trails winding through the surrounding pine forest. The iconic Sphere Pool is a centrepiece of the architectural wellness experience.

What signature programmes are offered?

Euphoria offers a range of curated programmes including the Advanced Medical Holistic Longevity Programme with advanced diagnostics, Immunity Reset focusing on metabolic health and immune function, Integrative Female Health for women’s wellbeing, and programmes for Optimal Sleep and Weight Metabolic Management. Each is deeply personalised based on your individual wellness screening.

Is there WiFi and mobile phone reception?

Yes, complimentary WiFi is available throughout the property, and mobile phone reception is generally good in the area. However, the mountain setting naturally encourages a degree of digital disconnection. Many guests find that stepping away from technology enhances their wellness experience and deepens the restorative benefits of their stay.

What should I pack for my stay?

Pack comfortable activewear for yoga, movement classes and forest walks, swimwear for the pools and hydrotherapy facilities, and light layers for cooler mountain evenings. The resort provides spa robes, towels and wellness amenities. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the pine forest nature trails and excursions to the nearby Byzantine ruins of Mystras.
