Euphoria Retreat , Luxury Healing resort , Mystras / Greece

The “GAIA” restaurant

At Euphoria Retreat, we are firm believers in the saying, “There is a healthy soul in a healthy body.” After all, wellness comes from within.

No spa experience is complete without healing food to keep you mentally alert and energetic throughout your stay. It is once your digestion is functioning optimally, that our cleansing treatments will be fully effective.

Drawing on the unique concept of Intelligent Mediterranean Metabolic hOmeostasis Therapy (IMMOT), our team of nutritionists prepare dishes daily, using healthy, wholesome natural ingredients, fresh herbs, antioxidant-packed spices, and all the essential nutrients of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.

A scientific nutrition and exercise approach to achieving and maintaining metabolic balance, IMOTT has been developed by Eucrasia, whose name refers to the Eucrasia Experience first defined by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, as a state of total mind-body balance.

Personalised according to guest preference, as well the recommendations of our doctors and nutritionists, our meals are designed to detoxify the body, boost metabolism, fight inflammation and reinforce the immune system. But most of all to create a wonderful gastronomic experience, with detox, gluten-free, vegetarian and weight-loss menus available.

All of this with a panoramic view of the valley and the citrus grove offered by our restaurant, and the opportunity, during the warmer months, of enjoying your meal on the terrace or under the grapevine of the inner court. A private dining area is also available for exclusive use in the listed Leoncini Mansion.

3GL Therapy

Euphoria Retreat, in collaboration with Eucrasia, has developed a patented protocol that, with few drops of blood, measures the three most important biomarkers for metabolic health - glycogen, glucose and glutathione (hence 3GL) – the main endogenous antioxidants against free radicals.

The result will reveal, with 100% accuracy, your individual cellular needs in metabolic regulation and activation, anti-aging, wellness, cellular protection and longevity. Your dietary plan can then be adapted to your specified personal needs.

Euphoria Retreat’s 3GL therapy is designed to be effective when followed by a diet of smaller, more regular meals throughout the day, which is why guests who book a Euphoria Retreat spa programme will benefit from two complimentary healthy snacks which not only taste delicious but also significantly boost metabolism and energy levels.

Use of the complimentary fitness and spa facilities, as recommended by your consultant, include outdoor or indoor swimming pool with hydrotherapy jets, Kneipp, Finnish sauna, steam bath, Cold Plunge, Cold Ice Mist and Tepidarium.

Also included are complimentary herbal fusions, fresh and dry snacks; attendance of daily Euphoria Wellness scheduled activities & workshops including lectures, cooking classes, meditation, fitness classes, yoga, TRX, Chi Gong, Pilates. (Subject to change).

An authentic healing philosophy

Euphoria Retreat is a place of healing and transformation, deeply authentic in its nature and philosophy. Our core concept draws inspiration from a number of sources, East and West: Taoist and Hellenic philosophy as well as Chinese and Hippocratic medicine.

Staying true to the healing traditions of Ancient Greece, which gave birth to philosophy and the practice of Hippocratic medicine (and adopted Eu zin - ‘living well’ - as its guiding principle), we have embraced the notion of a balanced life and a healthy spiritual connection. The principles of what we today call a healing spa were, after all, first practised at the healing temples of Asclepieion.

A holistic approach

The Ancient Hellenic and Chinese civilisations may have been far apart geographically, but both share a common understanding of cosmos and of human nature, and nurtured their love for inner peace and holistic balance. In what is more than a cosmic coincidence (synchronicity?) the two civilisations developed philosophies of wellbeing that were similar in many ways.

They share a common understanding of cosmos and of human nature. And the emphasis of the holon - or ‘whole’- of Hippocratic medicine goes hand in hand with Taoist spirituality, which also embraces wholeness and unity. Both focus on bringing mental, physical and emotional harmony.

Likewise, Ancient Greece’s five elements – fire, earth, water, air and ether – can be compared to their Taoist counterparts – fire, earth, water, metal and wood.

The five elements form the cornerstone of our healing philosophy. They are incorporated into the architecture and design of the indoor and outdoor spaces and facilities of Euphoria Retreat, with areas dedicated to particular elements and their related energies.

Most importantly, the five elements are at the heart of our signature treatments and retreats, personalised to address the needs of each guests in order to bring balance and harmony across all three levels of existence: emotional, physical and spiritual.

Healing through joy

But Ancient Greek and Chinese philosophies also differ in ways that are important to the Euphoria Retreat experience. For Ancient Greek philosophers, life was to be celebrated, with happiness and joy being central to achieving harmony and life change. Hence our name, Euphoria.

Eastern philosophy, by contrast, often place an emphasis on suffering as being necessary for catharsis.

Likewise, Ancient Greek philosophers emphasised the need for individual responsibility, not just to the state but also to yourself. It is this personal choice that you will need embrace if you are to achieve your goals. As we say: Your life, your journey.

A truly holistic healing process.

Sphere pool

The innovative Sphere Pool with its stone arches provides an unusual and utterly relaxing bathing experience as you gently glide from one area to another. The spherical walls are lined with hydrotherapy jets and in-water benches for light massage and relaxation without leaving the water.

Relaxation Area

The Relaxation Area with its beautiful view across the landscaped gardens offers the perfect ending to every spa journey. It allows you to fully internalize the benefits of your treatments in order to carry them over into your everyday life.

Tepidarium

Once the most famous bath of antiquity, the Tepidarium’s moderate heat promotes overall wellbeing. The room temperature of 37-39°C is close to body temperature, with low humidity levels around 20%. The marble benches, walls and floor all radiate pleasant warmth, which relaxes the muscles, helps the body recover from illness and restores your natural immune system.

Byzantine Hammam

The Byzantine Hammam, with its characteristic architectural design elements – including arches and a domed roof, ranks among the most sought after spa experiences. We have created Signature therapies that take place in the Byzantine Hammam, incorporating a series of cleansing and rejuvenating treatments that will help detox the body and nourish and rehydrate the skin, leaving you feeling more beautiful, relaxed and revitalised.

Waterwell Kneip Therapy

The Waterwell Kneip Therapy, with its spiral staircase, leads you to contrasting hot and cold footbaths, one of the oldest therapies in the world and often prescribed to reduce pain locally, to increase circulation and support injury recovery. Other benefits of regular use include increased immunity and lymph drainage.

Additional Spa Facilities
