WHAT TO EXPECT
Interval retreats are curated to build exciting, unique experiences that go beyond ordinary holidays.

​
We fell in love with Symi when we first visited, and now we live in its hidden backstreets. We want to share it with adventurous travellers; to go behind the beauty of the harbour and explore a more authentic Symi.
​
We'll go off the beaten track, visit the best of Symi's beaches, discover its sprawling forests and get lost in its labyrinthine ruins, taking you to places most tourists never see. We've also pulled together a team of local experts to lead creative workshops, such as painting, drawing, wine tasting and cookery. But it's your time. Activities are optional and we've built-in plenty of freedom to explore alone. You'll stay in a private mansion on the sea, with enormous terraces and modern facilities, so between activities you will return to luxury and serenity.
ARTISTIC WORKSHOPS
We work with excellent local artists to host creative workshops, such as ceramics, painting, drawing and creating cyanotypes. Each activity is chosen to tap into your creativity, draw out new means of expression and encourage you to embrace something new.
FORAGING WALKS
Learn how to live off the land in Symi with a guided foraging walk. You’ll also get to eat what you pick as it comes together in a one-off meal prepared as you watch at your home from home.
EXPLORE BY BOAT
Join a private cruise around the island to visit secluded caves, peaceful beaches and secret monasteries. A highlight for foodies, the trip includes an unmissable traditional Greek lunch and barbecue.
DISCOVER GREEK WINE
Greek wine is having a moment in London and New York, but this is your chance to experience it straight from the source. Our resident wine expert will guide you through Greek wines, from Assyrtiko to Malagousia and some natural orange wines.
GUIDED WALKS
Go further off the beaten track and explore Symi by foot. From the twisting back-streets of the village to the lush green forests in its heart, these walks will inspire you with breathtaking views and connect you to the wild history of the island.
YOGA + MEDITATION
Breathe, recharge and energise, surrounded by nature, suspended between the sky and the sea. Whether you practice regularly or you're just starting out, our rooftop yoga and meditation sessions will boost your energy and focus.
FREE TIME TO UNWIND
Our itineraries don’t fill every minute and we make sure you have plenty of time to relax, regroup or explore on your own. Go to the beach, go shopping, have a cocktail - we’re here to make recommendations, but you do you.
WILD DINING
Each of our retreats includes a one-off farewell dinner in a remote and unique location. Think candle-lit dinners in the mountains and extravagant feasts on uninhabited islands. These sumptuous evenings will be memorable highlights that give new and unique perspectives on Symi.
