This place has a very special place in my heart, there is something magical about it. The scenery is incredible, the property is luxurious and beautiful but also laid back with calming rooms and decor throughout. The staff are all just wonderful friendly people that look after your every need - the spa therapists go above and beyond to help you with your wellbeing. I can’t even begin to explain how nurtured I felt by all of them, especially Vladia who I had most of my healing treatments with. Vladia is a very special person, she helped me so much. I cannot wait to go back one day. If you only ever go to one spa in your life, please make it this one. You won’t regret it.

The retreat itself is simply divine. The moment I arrived, I was welcomed into an oasis of luxury and tranquility, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The hotel was immaculate, boasting elegant and spacious rooms that radiated comfort and sophistication. It felt like every little detail was designed with my wellbeing in mind.
The treatments were the real highlight of my stay. Each session was thoughtfully curated to address my specific needs, and I left each one feeling deeply renewed and revitalized. The practitioners were highly skilled and showed genuine compassion and dedication to my healing process. I have never felt so balanced and at peace in my life.
The staff were exceptional—gracious, attentive, and always anticipating my needs. They made me feel like the most important person in the world, ensuring that my stay was seamless and that every aspect of the retreat was perfect. The personalized care and warmth from the team created an atmosphere of pure serenity.
And then, there was the food—an absolute revelation! The cuisine was not only nourishing but also a true gastronomic delight, with each dish crafted from the freshest ingredients and bursting with flavor. Every meal was a celebration of health and taste, leaving me satisfied and eager for the next culinary experience.
Europia is a sanctuary for the soul, and my time here has been nothing short of life-changing. The luxurious setting, healing treatments, remarkable staff, and exquisite food came together to create an experience that I will cherish forever. I am profoundly grateful to Wellbeing Escapes for making this dream retreat a reality. If you're searching for a transformative escape, look no further—this place is truly heaven on earth.

Beautiful spa in a beautiful location.

The place was beautiful, the weather not great (not their fault!) . I felt a bit frustrated with the lack of feedback from tests and consultation (as promised) perhaps this will come in the next few weeks ?

They were on my side negotiating the best deal for me

Top class hotel hotel and setting, stunning view from the restaurant's terrace. Luxurious spa with lots of facilities and a huge variety of treatments. Delicious and healthy (although possibly not very Greek) food. Talented and helpful staff.

A beautiful experience, stunning location, so helpful, Great yoga and treatments, amazing food., lovely staff. Just need to tweak a few things to make it perfect- such as really clearly explaining the programme when you arrive. Explaining when you need to fast, why they are taking urine samples, the order treatments are in etc. They need to provide more information in the room about how to use the technology in the room. And the food was fantastic but I would have liked to understand why I was being given particular dishes (it seemed fairly similar to what everyone was getting just on different days).
There was so much information given at the end but it was hard to determine what I should implement at home as I can’t address all the pieces in the reports.

This is simply the best spa we have ever been to.
The staff, therapists and overall atmosphere were first rate.
Every detail has been thought through to create a very special and healing atmosphere.
We will certainly be going back as it was really first rate.
