Naturally Nourished Retreat

Crete, Greece, 7 nights 12-19 May  

naturally nourished retreat Crete

Time to Pause, Time to Unravel. Time to Reconnect.

TIME is a gift we should all afford ourselves at least once a year. Think of this as YOUR opportunity to LEAN INTO nature and PULL BACK from the daily hustle. TIME to STOP everything of routine and allow FRESH AIR into MIND and BODY.  

Think of our retreats as “purposeful getaways” - a self-care necessity rather than a self-indulgent escape.

Our aim is to offer you the perfect backdrop to DIVE into the physical and mental part of YOURSELF, to learn new skills, get INSPIRED, unlock your creativity and most importantly, enjoy some carefree time to EXPLORE and UNRAVEL.

Nature’s healing touch

The largest island in Greece, Crete is renowned for its beautiful beaches, wild natural beauty, exquisite cuisine and thousands of years of culture and history.

“The mystery of Crete runs deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force coursing warmly and beneficently through their veins, sensing their soul beginning to grow.” 
Nikos Kazantzakis

Nestled on a secluded hillside on the north coast of Crete in Rethymno, Troia Estate offers breathtaking vistas of olive groves and the tranquil sea in the distance. This hillside retreat is a hidden sanctuary of calm and tranquillity.

A short 2km to the closest beach with many more nearby to explore, you are in the perfect location to really switch off and experience nature at its best – beautiful hikes, crystal clear waters to swim, or just space and time to relax with your book.

"It was my first time away on my own without the usual family ties; it was one of the best experiences ever, and I highly recommend it."
