Top Hiking Retreats in Europe

We’ve teamed up with Nefeli Nine to bring you a taste of the real Greece. The concept draws on the ‘Blue Zones’ lifestyle, where people are known to live longer, healthier lives.

The retreat is centred around simple, effective pillars – a mainly plant-based diet, daily guided hikes through the Greek countryside and coastline, and stress-relieving practices such as yoga and massage. There are also thoughtful touches along the way, including a visit to a traditional fish taverna and an organic farm.

It’s ideal if you want to experience the sights, sounds and flavours of Greece while staying active and giving your mind space to reset. Spaces are limited, so get in touch to register your interest.

OCÉANO Hotel Health Spa sits directly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by green mountains and vegetation in the north of Tenerife. While the design is high-rise, the setting feels remote and non-touristy, with no neighbouring hotels and access to ancient woodland and mountain hiking trails right from the door.

Associated with the Mayr Centre – known for its expertise in holistic health – it’s a strong choice if you’re looking to detox, relax and recharge. A combination of authentic thalassotherapy and medical insight makes it particularly results-driven.

Led by a professional team of doctors and therapists, treatments are tailored to support detox or improve fitness, with options including massage, shiatsu, osteopathy and natural therapies.

Hôtel Ermitage is a four-star hotel, part of the Evian Resort, set in Évian-les-Bains just above Lake Geneva. The location is a real highlight, with the lake below and the Alps only 10 kilometres away, making it an ideal base for those who enjoy the outdoors – from golf and hiking to skiing and more active pursuits.

If you prefer to take things slower, you can simply stay put and enjoy the views from your balcony. Dining is a strong point, with a choice of fine dining and relaxed French brasserie options across the resort.

For some proper R&R, head to Spa Quatre Terres, where treatments use mineral-rich Evian water to help restore balance and support overall wellbeing.

Immersed in the woods and in harmony with the striking scenery of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti is a one-of-a-kind resort. True to the brand’s philosophy, the architecture draws on natural materials such as wood and stone, reflecting the simplicity and beauty of its surroundings.

In winter, you can take to the slopes of Madonna di Campiglio. In summer, the area opens up for hiking through mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes.

The spa sits at the heart of the resort, spanning 5,000 square metres and bringing together Eastern and Western approaches to wellbeing.
