Wellness travelers will be tempted by the offerings at Kea Retreat, a family-run boutique hotel located in a hillside nature reserve above the pristine blue waters of Psathi Bay. Combining the family’s love for Greek culture, nature and food, with their passion for yoga and mindfulness, Kea Retreat offers travelers the option to book a five or six-night retreat or simply indulge in a relaxing and restorative hotel stay. Accommodations are built into 100-year-old kathikies, or traditional stone farmhouses, which are bathed in natural light and stocked with locally produced bath towels, pareos, and robes for guests to don throughout their stay. In addition to the traditional wellness activities offered on site, the hotel is introducing a new fine dining tasting menu restaurant this season, Lygaria, which will rotate dishes depending on the week’s available produce and fresh catches.

Amenities: Restaurant, bar, pool, beachfront access, communal lounge areas, yoga pavilion

Editor’s Tip: Try a traditional ouzo at the bar at sunset.

Address: Οdos xoris onomasia Kea, Orkos, 84002, Greece

Onar Andros is an eco-retreat located on a protected wetland on the east side of Andros. Following a bumpy drive to this glamping sanctuary overlooking the majestic Achla Beach, you’re greeted by the friendly staff, clad in their own T-shirts and flip flops, immediately setting the tone for the casual atmosphere of the place. Luxury takes on a new meaning here–while there are no modern facilities, like a spa or fitness center, the beauty of its 10 traditional stone cottages, pool deck, and shaded lounge areas framing the lush natural landscape, as well as the delicious meals prepared using ingredients plucked from the hotel’s organic farm, will surely make you forget about all that. Best yet, a three-minute walk alongside the river that runs parallel to the property leads guests to the famed crescent-shaped Achla Beach, famous for its white sands and crystalline waters.
