The Retreat
The Retreat Ikaria is a soulful sanctuary nestled in the wild, untamed beauty of one of the world’s Blue Zones. Surrounded by sea, mountains, and timeless traditions, this retreat is a place to rest deeply, reconnect inwardly, and live slowly. Inspired by the Ikarian philosophy of longevity and joy, it blends nature, simplicity, and cultural rituals—from healing hikes and natural hot springs to nourishing meals and the celebratory spirit of village life. Here, wellness unfolds not as a trend, but as a way of being.
Stay
Where Simplicity Rests
Handcrafted spaces, open skies, and quiet corners — your sanctuary in the rhythm of Ikaria.

Let the healing waters of Ikaria’s natural thermal springs melt tension and reset your nervous system — the ancient Ikarian way.
