WELLNESS PROGRAMS

The teams attend to every aspect of your care so that you might ultimately take your health into your own hands, become your own healer, and reach a state of health and joy described by the ancient Greeks as ‘Euphoria’. This naturalistic ‘Euphoria Methodos’ outlook is evident everywhere at Euphoria’s spa and based on the understanding that our physical, emotional and spiritual selves are intrinsically linked, and, just as nature changes with the seasons, so too do our own energetic cycles.

CUISINE
Central to any stay at Euphoria is the food. Each guest eats differently according to their individual needs and dietary preferences.

Visit the GAIA Restaurant, where Euphoria has nurtured relationships with local farmers, producers, and winemakers, to create a menu that uses the best of local, seasonal and organic produce.

POOL
Offering unique pools indoor and out, there are various ways to rejuvenate at Euphoria. At the very heart of Euphoria’s spa, you’ll find this distinctly avant-garde sphere pool – surrounded by cocooning Byzantine domes inspired by the architecture of the iconic Hagia Sophia church, this ritualistic experience is unique and breathtaking. Most guests revel in the enveloping womb-like sensation, where soothing marine sounds play softly under the water, transporting you to a sensory world, where dreams are born.
ROOMS
The 45 rooms and suites provide the perfect sanctuary. No two rooms are the same; all have their own unique touches. The luxuriously monastic interiors are inspired by the iconography of the Byzantine era and subtly layer and combine patterns, textures, and colors to unique effect. Every detail has been designed to invite you to slow down and rest; yet many rooms also offer a private balcony, terrace, or courtyard to uplift and inspire. Ideal for those who need more space to work or who are serious about retreating and want to experience absolute privacy, these soothing interiors set a new benchmark when it comes to luxurious spa hotels in Greece.
