Located above the village of Mystras on Greece’s lesser-known Peloponnese peninsula, Euphoria Retreat is a holistic-wellbeing destination spa that blends cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom. Owned by Athens-born Marina Efraimoglou, once the first chairwoman of a Greek bank whose own personal story of transformation powers the vision here, the award-winning spa fully lives up to its name: the Greek word for euphoria means a state of well-being, balancing body, mind and soul and resulting in happiness.

By the Numbers

Opened in 2018; 45 rooms and suites; surrounded by nearly 20 acres of private forests; 2.5 hour drive from Athens Airport; 4-story spa, offering programs that run from 2 to 21 days; children above the age of 14 are welcome; it took 7 years to design and build the Byzantine-inspired Euphoria; the spa centers around a spiral staircase that leads from a glowing moon at the bottom of the pool to a circular skylight, 82 feet above; the region is home to 12 million olive trees and some of the world’s most acclaimed oil
