As Seen in Tatler Spa Guide 2025: Euphoria Retreat Redefines Lasting Wellness
When Tatler – the ultimate “little black book” for spa enthusiasts and society tastemakers — sets its sights on Greece, the destination that rises to the top is Euphoria Retreat.
In the Tatler Spa Guide 2025, journalist Anne McElvoy takes readers inside what she calls a “personalised health overhaul” — a deeply transformative experience where diagnostics, diet, IV drips, ozone therapy, aqua gym, and even a human regenerator device combine into what she describes as “daunting in thoroughness, but a total treat with lasting results for body and mind.”
This feature couldn’t have come at a more defining time for us. In 2025, Euphoria has fully stepped into a new era of precision medicine, blending scientifically proven health practices with the soul-nourishing therapies we’ve always been known for. The result is a new model of wellbeing—one that is personal, preventative, and profoundly rejuvenating.
A Thorough Yet Tender Approach to Healing
Tatler’s McElvoy captures it best:
“At first sight, the regimen looked a bit daunting… but it turned out to be the perfect overhaul for my frazzled body and mind.”
Through our Advanced Medical & Holistic Longevity Programme, guests undergo a full physiological assessment before they even arrive, followed by a curated programme that includes cellular analysis, nutritional planning, stress management, and targeted movement.
But as Tatler points out, it’s not just the science—it’s the human care that defines the experience:
“The whole place is shot through with tiny touches to make guests feel at ease.”
From the soothing architecture and natural materials to the calm, the warmth of the staff and personalised follow-ups, every detail is intentional.
The People Who Make the Difference
Euphoria’s evolution is not just structural—it’s deeply personal.
Founder Marina Efraimoglou’s vision is felt in every corner, from the country-house coziness of the spaces to the wow-factor spa beneath the mountains of Mystras. As McElvoy notes:
“Euphoria feels very much Marina Efraimoglou’s own personal undertaking… and Marina has the skin and verve of a health-conscious 35-year-old.”
Guests are supported by a passionate team of experts, including Dr. Maria Tsironi, the internal medicine specialist.
“She’s the kind of GP you’d like to have on speed dial.”
A Place That Reshapes Perspective
What surprised McElvoy most wasn’t just the cellular data or the therapies — it was the emotional shift that came with it.
“I feel uplifted and more energetic… but probably the most noticeable thing is how this newfound awareness of my wellbeing has left me better able to shrug off stresses and enjoy the foibles and delights of the human condition.”
Her reflections show that lasting wellness isn’t just physical—it’s about clarity, joy, and lightness of being.
Even the lighter moments are telling:
“My husband joked that a health retreat wouldn’t be his idea of ‘euphoria,’ but that was before I sent him pictures of my three meals a day.”
From nutrient-rich Greek dishes to mid-morning smoothies and salty cheeses, nourishment here feels indulgent—but never rigid.
Precision Wellness, With Personality
“Detail is what Euphoria does best.”
By day three, even the fitness instructors were noticing the change:
“Yanis started saying ‘Excellent!’ instead of ‘Keep going.’”
And among the international mix of guests — from London creatives to Dubai executives and mother-daughter duos — a shared energy emerged: one of connection, openness, and inner reset.
As McElvoy concludes:
“Euphoria feels like a treat with durable results. I’ll be back.”
We’re deeply grateful to Tatler and Anne McElvoy for capturing the spirit of what we do at Euphoria Retreat — a place where wellbeing is more than a feeling. It’s a way of living.
