Most exemplar of spa resorts in Greece for holistic healing

"..like that star of the waning summer who beyond all stars rises bathed in the ocean stream to glitter in brilliance."

A world first and the vision of Marina Efraimoglou – our warm, vivacious and loving founder – Euphoria Retreat is widely regarded as Europe’s leading wellbeing destination spa hotel. Offering a unique combination of interconnected philosophies, scientific innovation and healing modalities, Euphoria evolved organically from a passion born out of Marina’s personal path. Overcoming cancer in her late 20s, Marina was driven to success but ultimately exhaustion in the world of investment banking. Close to the brink, she sought to bring back some much-needed balance to her life through an exploration and study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Five Elements and other alternative health methods. Inspired by her own recovery, Marina then decided to create a place of healing where people could be gently guided and motivated to live a more holistic, balanced and spiritually satisfying way of life.

Marina visited many healing centres and spas around the world but felt that all too often the process of transformation was linked to sacrifice and denial. Eventually, Marina discovered that the answer lay in her own Greek heritage. The ancient Greek philosophers viewed life as joyful, sensual and full of exciting potential for growth; the Greek word ‘Euphoria’ is about living and feeling ‘well’. Marina found a suitable Location for her vision, in the mythical Peloponnese, a landscape with deep historical and cultural roots, where the incredible life-force of nature flourishes. Here she created a world-class health and fitness retreat which, rather than handing out strict rules and dictums, offers achievable guidelines and deep nurturing to restore guests to full health. This inclusive, flexible attitude led to the creation of ‘Euphoria Methodos’ – our Spa philosophy which converges varying healing philosophies and marries East and West, ancient Greek and Chinese health approaches and science with naturalism.
