About the Retreat

Nefeli Nine is Greece’s premier wellness retreat. Working in off-the-beaten-path locations, we invite our guests to experience an authentic side of Greece—its beauty, culture, and timeless traditions.
Our ethos is simple: to give guests a complete week off from everything. A chance to slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling deeply relaxed, recharged, and with a newfound spring in their step. This is achieved through daily hikes across breathtaking landscapes, restorative yoga sessions, and food that is truly out of this world.
Our name reflects this philosophy. Nefeli Nine translates loosely as Cloud Nine—a place of lightness, ease, and elevation. Unique and exclusive, we host no more than eight guests at a time, ensuring a deeply personal and intimate experience.
Discover the beauty of Pelion with us—secret stretches of coastline dotted with sleepy villages, lush mountains, and little-known beaches where the swimming is heavenly and the world feels wonderfully off-grid.
You’ll stay in an exceptional villa nestled into a lush mountainside, surrounded by nature and panoramic views. Expect locally sourced, freshly prepared cuisine served daily, and endless opportunities to recharge amidst the rich flora and fauna of this remarkable region.
According to Greek mythology, Mount Pelion was named after the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, and was believed to be the homeland of the Centaurs—half-man, half-horse creatures of legend. Pelion was also said to be the summer retreat of the Olympian gods themselves.
Our villas are immersed in nature and designed to reflect traditional Pelion architecture with a stylish, modern twist. Facilities include private pools, panoramic mountain and sea views, organic vegetable gardens, BBQ areas, and much more.
Pelion is a destination for all seasons, each offering its own unique perspective. In October, for example, the region comes alive with mushroom and chestnut season. Guests are invited to forage for local mushrooms and learn how to cook with them—an unforgettable connection to land and tradition.
We take you on a journey that explores the beauty and tranquility of nature, local culture, and a healthy way of living.
None of our programme is compulsory—yet none of our guests ever choose to miss a moment.
Nefeli Nine Retreat showcases the ultimate authentic, unspoiled Greece through innovative and transformative experiences. Our retreats embrace the philosophy of Blue Zone living, inspired by regions where people live longer, healthier lives thanks to a low-stress environment and balanced lifestyle.
The principles are simple: natural movement, meaningful social connection, and a locally sourced, predominantly plant-based diet. From silent walks through centuries-old olive groves and pine forests, to kayaking along dramatic, craggy shorelines and visiting traditional stone villages, Greece’s authentic beauty has a remarkable way of re-nourishing both body and soul.
