About the Retreat

Nefeli Nine is Greece’s premier wellness retreat. Working in off the beaten path locations, they show their guests an authentic side of Greece, her beauty, culture and traditions. Their main ethos is to give guests a week off from everything and to leave them feeling relaxed, recharged and with a new found spring in their step. They achieve this through daily hikes through beautiful landscapes, restorative and recharging yoga classes and food that is simply out of this world. This is reflected in the name – Nefeli Nine – translates loosely as Cloud Nine. Unique and exclusive, Nefeli Nine will never have more than 8 guests at a time.

Discover the beauty of Pelion with us, secret stretches of coastline with sleepy villages, lush mountains and amazing little known beaches where the swimming is heaven and you can go completely off-grid.

An exceptional villa on a lush mountainside location, surrounded by nature. With phenomenal views, wonderful surroundings, locally sourced and delicious food prepared freshly every day, and a chance to recharge with the wonderful flora and fauna of this area.

According to Greek mythology, Mount Pelion took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, and it was the homeland of Centaurs, the mythical creatures half-men and half-horse. Pelion is also the region where the Olympian gods had chosen for their summer holidays!

Stay in a beautiful villa, submerged within nature and with panoramic views overlooking the mountainside and sea. Each villa is uniquely designed taking into consideration the local Pelion architecture with a stylish and modern twist. The facilities include private pool, panoramic views, organic vegetable gardens, BBQ’s & much more.

In Pelion, every season provides a different perspective and something unique to the environment and the landscape which changes dramatically. The seasonal changes influence the activities. October is synonymous with mushroom and chestnut season, and one of the activities will be foraging local mushrooms and learning how to cook with them.

We will take you on a journey which explores the beauty and tranquility of nature, the local culture and healthy way of living.

​None of our program is compulsory – however, none of our clients leave any of it out.

Nefeli Nine Retreat showcases the ultimate authentic, unspoiled Greece through innovative, transformative retreats.

The retreats passionately adopt the philosophy of Blue Zone living – where people live
longer and healthier lives – thanks to their stress-free environment and lifestyle.
The core principles are simple – combining physical activities and natural movement
with mindful social interactions and a locally-sourced, mainly plant-based diet.
Whether it’s wandering silently through century-old olive groves and pine forests, to
kayaking along dramatic craggy shorelines spotting birdlife as you go and visiting
traditional sleepy, stone villages, there’s nothing quite like Greece’s authentic beauty to
re-nourish both body and soul.

Stephanie Kontomichalou

Far from a fitness aficionado by birth, growing up in different parts of the world, from the UK to the US, from France to Greece -where I now live permanently- and all through my adventures and explorations,
I happened to stumble upon a few secrets:
Staying active and being fit is not some picture-perfect, unattainable thing that only the best of us can aspire to: it can be something as simple as landing on a yoga mat and connecting with your breath; As enjoyable as discovering a hiking trail for the very first time. It can transform and motivate you, reveal a part of you that you never knew existed, introduce you to new places and connect you to new people – not to mention it can also feel pretty damn good too!

I am happiest when I’m in nature – and more specifically, near a body of water: there is no greater feeling of peace and contentment than a day spent on a secluded beach, or a lovelier surprise than coming across a natural spring as you’re hiking through a winding mountain path.

Nefeli Nine Retreats is my way of letting you in on these secrets and guiding you through all that inspires me. I hope you will join me in one of our retreats in Greece, as I get to do what I love most: sharing some of the best experiences (and tastiest treats!) this country has to offer and hopefully leaving you inspired, peaceful and refreshed in the process
