Euphoria Retreat is the 100% wellness destination you’ll fall in love with! Located in the Greek mountains, 3 hours from Athens (or 1 hour from Kalamata, which has good connections from Paris), this hotel dedicated entirely to wellness opened its doors in 2018, and we make no secret of the fact that it’s considered one of Europe’s must-see wellness resorts. The concept evolved from a skilful blend of Taoist and Hellenic philosophy, as well as Chinese and Hippocratic medicine. What a program for a true journey of personal transformation. One of our favorite hotels, and we’ll give you an upgrade on any stay booked through Luxe Wellness Club.
Here’s one of Europe’s most exciting “destination spas” in recent years. The vision of its founder, Marina Efraimoglou, was to create a haven of holistic well-being imbued with a sense of joy, unlike some of Europe’s somewhat austere medi-spas. Here, under the Greek sun, in a sublime setting facing Mount Taygetos, it’s hard not to smile at life. Located in Laconia, southwest of Athens, the hotel is an hour’s drive from Kalamata airport, or 2 hours 40 minutes from the capital.

A well-kept, warm and welcoming decor
The hotel’s 45 rooms and suites are comfortable and peaceful, inspired by Byzantine colors of burnished gold and dark red. The atmosphere is warm, with noble materials such as wood, and quality furnishings.
Spacious and subtly decorated, the accommodations invite you to relax. Some suites feature elegant clawfoot bathtubs. You’ll appreciate them all the more with our natural aromatherapy products and Greek herbal recipes.
A 360° medical approach to longevity
At Euphoria Retreat, well-being is more than just a moment of relaxation: it’s a genuine journey of inner and physical transformation, guided by science, personalization and listening to the body. The program is built around an exclusive four-phase method that resets natural metabolic processes and restores a lasting balance between body, mind and emotions. The ultimate goal? Longer healthspan, i.e. living longer in good health.
1. Testing: getting to know yourself better through science
It all starts at home, with theEuphoria Advanced Diagnostics Kit, a biomarker test kit that analyzes urine, blood, saliva and stool. This initial assessment identifies metabolic and energy imbalances. Once the analyses have been completed, an online consultation with a metabolic expert enables the results to be interpreted and the foundations of the personalized program to be laid.
2. Diagnosis: refining understanding on arrival
On arrival at the center, an advanced medical diagnosis is carried out by the team of experts, providing a more in-depth reading of the results and a better understanding of the body’s individual needs. This key moment enables us to draw up a hyper-personalized intervention plan, based on scientific data as well as on the person’s emotional and mental state.
3. Intervention & Prevention: in-depth action
The intervention phase combines biohacking, targeted nutrition, conscious movement and holistic therapies to optimize metabolism and restore overall balance. Each program aims to act on the physical, mental, emotional and social levels simultaneously, with a view to sustainable prevention. The aim is to gently but effectively reactivate the body’s natural processes.
4. Personalized follow-up: maintaining the benefits
Because transformation doesn’t stop at the end of the program, Euphoria Retreat offers expert follow-up for two months. This post-program support allows you to reinforce what you’ve learned, adjust certain habits and maintain the dynamic of well-being on a daily basis.
By combining cutting-edge medical science, personalized interventions and health education, Euphoria Retreat has positioned itself as a pioneer in sustainable wellness. Its innovative approach works at a deep, cellular level to help everyone practice longevity with awareness, balance and serenity.
A spa with an astonishing design
The four floors dedicated to the spa allow you to escape into the world of well-being through a variety of facilities. Many use hydrotherapy to bring guests to a state of deep relaxation, while others take advantage of high temperatures, humidity levels and salt to invigorate the body – and the mind! Guests also have access to a yoga and meditation studio to take another step towards harmony.
The spa’s design sets it apart from its global competitors. It is centered around an interior well and a spiral staircase that symbolizes the journey to well-being.
At the very bottom, a Kneipp bath playing on contrasting water temperatures, and as you ascend, an infrared sauna, a Himalayan salt room, a Watsu pool, a Byzantine Hammam, treatment rooms… The highlight of the show is undoubtedly an indoor pool in the shape of a dome, with the sound of whales and dolphins singing underwater! It’s really great art.

Euphoria retreats and programs
The programs and retreats offered by Euphoria Retreat are part of a profoundly holistic approach, aimed at restoring overall balance – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Each participant becomes the actor of his or her own transformation, accompanied by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, therapists, coaches, mentors and nutritionists. Together, they design a customized path, guiding each participant towards greater self-awareness and lasting alignment.
For some, this immersion represents a genuine renewal, a deep reconnection with their essence. For others, it’s simply a regenerative break, a moment to take back control of their well-being. In addition, spa treatments can be integrated at any time, to enrich the experience according to individual needs and desires.
Here are just a few of the signature retreats at Euphoria Retreat:
- Détox Bien-être: for in-depth purification and physical and mental lightness.
- Advanced weight loss: a tailor-made metabolic program, with no conventional caloric approach.
- Signature Nutrigenomics: an innovative approach combining nutrition and genetics to optimize longevity.
- Euphoria Yoga & Mindfulness: movement, meditation and presence for overall well-being.
- Le Voyage d’Ulysse: a playful, introspective retreat inspired by mythology and the five elements.
- Optimal sleep: advanced medical program for restful sleep.
- Integrative women’s health: a holistic approach focused on hormonal balance and cellular well-being.
- Advanced Medical Longevity & Cellular Detox: deep programs to reset health at the cellular level.
In all, there are some twenty different retreats and wellness programs! The choice is yours, depending on your specific needs.
As for the products used in the spa, the excellent French brand Biologique Recherche needs no introduction. Moisturizing treatments, body wraps, anti-cellulite massages…the whole range of treatments is represented in this top-class spa.
The plate at the center of well-being
Food is of course one of the keys to a successful stay. After a consultation with a specialist, dishes are adjusted to individual needs based on your initial consultation tests. Meals are served at the GAIA restaurant. Aptly named after the ancient Greek word for “land”, the restaurant conveys all the charm of Euphoria and the authenticity of its region. A very friendly place, where you can share your experience with other resort guests.
Dishes are balanced and include unsaturated fats, locally grown seasonal ingredients, fresh herbs and antioxidant spices. The resort’s philosophy is to offer organic, full-course meals, with many vegan options. For some people following the detox program, this means small portions with healthy snacks and smoothies to cut hunger between meals.
Alcoholic beverages are also available for those who appreciate a glass of wine at the end of the day, unlike other wellness hotels.
