Location

A New Retreat Space in Melanes, Naxos – Opening October 2025

Tucked just outside the tranquil village of Melanes in the heart of Naxos, a brand-new retreat space is taking shape—designed for well-being, creativity, and connection to nature.

Set among vineyards, orange and lemon trees, and the gentle hills of the Naxian countryside, the house offers a peaceful, grounding environment. With clean Cycladic lines and a natural aesthetic, the space is crafted to feel both restorative and inspiring.

There will be a handful of thoughtfully designed indoor rooms, A pool anchors the grounds—ideal for quiet reflection, movement practices, or simply soaking in the sun.

Though the house will be completed in August 2025, we are carefully preparing the space to its full potential. Our first retreats will begin in October 2025, with a limited number of intimate gatherings focused on wellness and slow living.

If you’re looking for a retreat that offers space to breathe, create, and reconnect, we invite you to follow along as we bring this vision to life.

Reserve your place from just £150. In the house Solo Occupancy £1400 Shared Occupancy £2500

In Bell Tents From £700
