Lefkada 2026

I’m delighted to reveal an exciting wellness escape for autumn at Lefkada Retreat on the beautiful island of Lefkada, Greece, 4 -9 October 2026 – with an optional extra night in Athens!

An idyllic Ionian retreat
Lefkada Retreat, situated between two heavenly bays, is surrounded by olive trees and boasts breathtaking views across the Ionian Sea towards pine-clad mountains. The setting is perfect for gorgeous morning walks, and stunning Desimi Beach, a beach known for its translucent turquoise waters – with its sunbeds, paddle boards and tavernas (where we will eat at one night) – is a mere five-minute stroll away.  

The retreat consists of two villas, each with its own infinity swimming pool (a perfect opportunity to book one out if coming with a group of friends!). The villas connect and we will eat and exercise together.

In the lap of luxury
Every detail is designed with your wellbeing in mind, with personalised care, transformative wellness programmes, and exceptional culinary experiences with all gourmet vegetarian food prepared by a private chef using the freshest, locally sourced, ingredients..

With a stunning infinity pool, a relaxing zen den and meditation terrace, access to some of the island's finest hiking trails just beyond our doorstep, and fabulously comfy day beds to tempt you, you’ll want for nothing.

Relax and recharge
Lefkada Retreat features two exercise studios for daily morning body conditioning or Pilates and evening Yin meditation classes: one that’s air conditioned and the other outdoors, both overlooking the sea. 

Also included in your retreat escape is a sunset sound healing journey, designed to promote relaxation, energetic balance. and emotional release. Local musicians will entertain us at the retreat on one night (and may even teach us some traditional Greek dancing!)

There’s the option of taking a cookery class, enjoying a blissful massage on site, and exploring the island’s bays and its crystal clear blue seas on a boat trip. (A dedicated concierge company will curate all the retreat activities.) 

Our private chef will serve deliciously healthy, organic Greek food (meat, fish and vegetarian/vegan) based on the ingredients available that same day from the local fish and farmer’s markets. The chef is very accommodating and will heed any food preferences and allergies. 

Extend your stay with a night in Athens
Interested in adding a night in Athens? We will take a private transfer from Lefkada to Athens (a 3.5 - 4 hour drive) to stay in the historical quarter, in a stylish boutique hotel with rooftop terrace overlooking the Pantheon, and explore the famous historical landmarks with a private guide. Price for this extra night is available on request.
