This retreat is a beautiful blend of culture, history, food, creativity, and wellness. Our Art of Living Well 2025 offering is headed to a new adventure in the Cycladic Islands for a truly unique private oasis experience in the middle of the Aegean Sea.
Our adventure begins in Santorini as we arrive to the coastline of Ammoudi Bay and board a water taxi that whisks us away to paradise just 10 minutes away. We disembark on the island of Therasia, the quiet sister of Santorini, that will feel like your own private island. With only 200 inhabitants and vistas as far as the eye can see, you will breathe like you did as a child.
Our retreat home base in Therasia is a villa built upon unspoiled land where tradition meets simplicity, luxury, and elegance with absolute respect to the land and history. Breathtaking views of the caldera and magical sunsets await you.
Modern and comfortable accommodations with an authentic feeling of a place that has remained unchanged for centuries.
You will feel like you are stepping back in time and find yourself embracing slow living with ease. You can wander through the villa’s courtyard, surrounding land, and the historic church, Agia Irini (Saint Irini), on the property. Cool off in the pool with remarkable views of Oia and the sunset.
RETREAT PROGRAMME
Mornings will begin with daily meditation and movement to energize yourself for a day of exploration and fun.
During our time together, you will indulge in a private cooking class, a wine-tasting experience, guided art workshops, hiking, and a boating adventure in the Aegean Sea.
Just a 10-minute water taxi ride to Ammoundi Bay, you will have a chance to explore Santorini and see the stunning views from the top of the Santorini down to the caldera.
The Art of Living Well retreat gives you a wonderful taste of Greek island life through countless curated experiences and an insider’s view of the coveted Mediterranean lifestyle. All of your senses are in for a treat as you slow down, explore, and enjoy the art of living well.
