Euphoria Retreat, an SLH Hotel

We had such a wonderful time at Euphoria in Mystras, Greece. The location is amazing, tucked into the beautiful mountains. |The facility is exquisite. We were a group of 15 and we all loved our rooms, the restaurant, the indoor and outdoor pool and the beautiful spa. |Most of us had massage treatments (you should try the 5 Element Massage!), and everyone was happy with the amazing service. |Thank you for an amazing experience!

We recently stayed at Euphoria Retreat in Mystras and while the property itself is beautiful, the overall experience was inconsistent. As a Hilton Gold member, I expected at least a warm acknowledgment of status. When we arrived and I asked about the chance of an upgrade given our status, I was told there were no available rooms at all and that's not possible as it's subject to availability. After checking the website myself and pointing out lots of availability in multiple rooms, only then did reception "double-check" and suddenly find one. To make it up, were told a very strange story that it was meant for a single traveler that had just canceled. This left me feeling more uncomfortable than recognized. The hiking activities were definitely a highlight - Nikos was excellent and very knowledgeable of the area. However, when asking for more details about the on-site hiking routes, reception had no clue about even the basic information printed on their own map. In general, we relied more on our own research to find great nearby activities like local chestnut festivals. Breakfast was great, while dinner was extremely average. The waiters were friendly and fun, which helped balance things out. The parking staff were also extremely kind and and multiple times charged our car which was genuinely appreciated. We tried a yoga class that was fairly disappointing. The instructor arrived late - which is totally fine, we are there to relax - however without a shoe box or guidance, everyone kept walking across the floor we would later lie down on with their outdoor shoes. She also never asked if anyone had any health concerns or injuries, which is a very basic expectation from a first-time yoga session in a wellness resort. Additionally, the toilets in every area I used had a design flaw: the flushes caused water to spill onto the floor and even the toilet seat, with the lid closed. Not acceptable from a hygiene perspective in any hotel, let alone a 5-star wellness retreat. The spa itself is stunning, a really magical space, but once again, the staff at the spa reception seemed very unwilling to guide us, as though we should already know how everything worked rather than offering welcoming and proactive help. Overall, the facilities absolutely reflect a 5-star property, but the service often did not. Having stayed at multiple wellness resorts (e.g., Adler), we didn’t feel the same relaxing, seamless experience here that is typically promised in this category. We did enjoy the beautiful surroundings and relaxed thanks to the trips outside the hotel - but the hotel itself has some distance to go before it truly delivers the wellness atmosphere it advertises.

We needed a short break to relax and the place offered us what we needed. The spa is really good and the atmosphere very relaxing. The staff very responsive, kind and pleasant. The food was ok, it can be improved.

This is a magical place! I spent 10 days doing various treatments, classes and hikes. Everything was excellent, the treatments first rate and I learned so much. There is an indoor pool are with all types of whirlpools that is subline!|My room faced the forest and was peaceful and well designed. Housekeeping came twice a day.|Food was gourmet and delicious. The only issue is that after 10 days with a menu that does not really change except for an evening soup and fish special it gets repetitive. Some days there was no soup special and most days it was a fish soup so if you a not into fish soup that was disappointing. They do have the best granola and Greek yogurt in the world. |The property is located a five minute walk from the village of Mystras so if you want to change of scenery, this is a nice little adventure. |Highly recommend!!

This is a beautiful resort with excellent spa staff, however the programme that I took to lose weight and achieve rejuvenation was a complete and utter failure. I was assured that the meal plan which I was to follow would DEFINITELY result in my desired weight loss of 3kgs and I would be far less tired. I even paid considerably more for an additional treatment recommended by the Doctor to boost my metabolism.||I followed the menu religiously with no cheating whatsoever and I also exercised heavily. However my weight, body fat and PONE results at the end of my stay showed no improvement WHATSOEVER. I asked for an explanation at the time and I emailed Euphoria over a week ago but I have not had the courtesy of an explanation or apology. I now also therefore doubt the efficiency of all the other expensive treatments which were part of my package and are impossible to evaluate. ||Another complaint is that I was informed that I was required to use my mobile telephone when I had intended to put it in the safe for the whole of the week and ignore messages and mail for a complete break.||Furthermore, I had to complain twice before the restaurant staff ceased to bang the door to the interior from the veranda every few minutes. Not what one expects from a supposedly relaxing retreat.||I have been to other retreats which are lovely hotels, have good food, staff and treatments and I expected more from Euphoria for the high cost and its marketing. The failure of management to respond to my complaints has been the final insult and I am shocked by this lack of customer consideration from a premium resort My travel agent has also contacted them on my behalf without success. I think that the management is not open to criticism and the whole experience is over-hyped. I would certainly not recommend.

Spa meets relaxation. we call it "geeking out" trips. bring your most desired books, couple it with aching muscles and thoughts in the back of your mind. it's the perfect place. very happy to have found it.

My stay at Euphoria Retreat for the Well & Well-Being Festival was nothing short of transformative. From the serene Peloponnese setting to the beautifully designed spa facilities, every detail radiated peace and harmony. The festival’s workshops, treatments, and mindful activities left me feeling deeply restored, inspired, and reconnected. A truly magical place where wellness meets soul.

Excellent views all around, unbelievable service, the best pools (indoor and outdoor) , everything is just right.The restaurant serves fresh local food and you feel like home. The surrounding gardens carefully planted with beautiful local plants. Highly recommended and of course we plan to return!
