Our Luxury Villa Fitness & Wellness Retreats aim to promote a healthy lifestyle and cater to those who already lead an active way of life and want to continue their fitness and adventure journey. The week is thoughtfully designed to feature a mix of traditional fitness activities and classes, as well as cultural excursions and attractions. Unlike other retreats that only offer three fitness classes a day, our program focuses equally on wellness and adventure while residing in a luxurious boutique villa.

This retreat is ideal for individuals seeking a unique and active experience. For instance, we provide every guest with a bicycle for the week to encourage exploration beyond the villa’s premises. The accommodation and retreat base are chic, modern, and luxurious, located just a stone’s throw away from the magnificent sandy Tigaki Beach on the stunning island of Kos. Guests share a villa, and they can choose from the luxury master suite with an ensuite or a bedroom that shares a bathroom with only one other room. Each villa includes a swimming pool with sun loungers, and the complex features a state-of-the-art outdoor gym, an outdoor cinema, and a communal bar where breakfast is served. Whether you’re travelling alone, with friends, or with a partner, you’ll feel pampered and revitalized in this exquisite setting.

The incredible Activities involved:

A bike ride to the incredible Aloe Vera Farms by Pandrosia (a local company producing amazing natural products).

Pandrosia Farms are a breathtaking 9km bike ride from our retreat, offering numerous photo opportunities along the way.

Pyli, also known as Pili, is a lush and fertile plain located at the heart of Kos Island. It is surrounded by remnants and landmarks that reveal the ancient history of the area. These include the Byzantine castle, a natural spring with ancient vaults, and the sanctuary of Dimitra and Persephone, symbolizing the cycle of fertility in the land. The Pyliotiko House, a traditional dwelling dating back centuries, serves as a living museum showcasing rich traditions, customs, and delectable local cuisine.

Within Pyli lies the Drosos family estates, covering a total of 10 hectares (100,000 square meters) of fertile green land. Paul Drosos often refers to it as his personal paradise. Three hectares of the estate are dedicated to cultivating certified, high-quality organic Aloe vera plants, scientifically known as Aloe barbadensis Miller.

On the Drosos estates, time seems to slow down, aligning with the mysterious rhythm of the earth. The land and plants are left undisturbed, allowing them to flourish and bear fruits effortlessly. “Aloe has patience, so you too must have the same,” summarizes Paul Drosos, encapsulating the philosophy behind organic Aloe vera cultivation.

Although the journey presents a few challenges, it’s achievable for fitness enthusiasts. The route includes some uphill moments, but with every uphill comes a downhill, allowing for rest and recovery. The total distance is approximately 18km round trip, but midway, we take a well-deserved break to enjoy a guided and insightful tour of the Aloe Vera Farms at Pandrosia.

In addition, we offer the option to upgrade to an e-bike, making the journey to Pamdrosia even more accessible for those who prefer a little extra assistance. The e-bike upgrade provides a comfortable ride with minimal physical exertion, allowing you to focus on the scenic route and the hot springs’ rejuvenating effects.

A Hike across the mountain to Palio Pyli Fortress.

Starting from the charming mountain village of Zia, we embark on a hike across Dikeos mountain to Palio Pyli Castle. The ancient acropolis of Paleo Pyli, an abandoned settlement, is located west of Mount Dikeos. It proudly sits atop a rocky hill, offering panoramic views of the coasts of Kalymnos and Pserimos. The walls of the acropolis contain pottery fragments from the Bronze Age, and it served as a refuge for the island’s inhabitants during invasions by the Ottoman Turks. The fortress displays different stages of construction, including a unique central gate built in the late 11th century using the “hidden plinth” technique, which is rare in the Dodecanese Islands. The fortress’s history comes to an end around 1820, likely due to a devastating plague. The hike offers an opportunity to explore Greece’s stunning natural scenery, with lush forests and verdant hills along the way. Whilst at Pyli Castel, you will have the opportunity to explore and rest in the view captivating Cafe.

There is an additional activity* day where you can experience an activity of your choice. These activities could include:

Horse Riding on the Beach
Windsurfing at one of the local windsurfing centres, or
A pamper day at the traditional Artemis Hamam located in the village of Tigaki.
Or, you can add on some pampering to go with your already included poolside massage.. no better setting for relaxation.

And, if none of these activities takes your fancy you are free to organise your day, maybe you want a beach day or fancy a shopping trip to Turkey, the day is yours to explore as you wish.

*All activities on this day will not be included in the price of the retreat, and are subject to availability. Please ask for further details.

As well to all these incredible activities there will be a scheduled Fitness program which includes;

Pilates
Yoga
Cross Training
Boxing
TRX
HIIT
and Kettlebells.

But be sure to take time to rest and absorb the beauty of the Island and the Boutique Villa Gardens.

You have complete freedom to choose which activities you want to participate in during your stay. If you’re not interested in hiking to witness the breathtaking views that Kos has to offer, you can opt for a leisurely bike ride and spend a few hours unwinding on the gorgeous sandy beaches while enjoying a refreshing swim in the clear blue waters.

What to expect each day…

Day 1

Upon arrival at Kos Airport, a transfer will be ready to take you to TAF Boutique Villas, which is approximately 30-45 minutes away. Your host, Gilly, will warmly welcome you and guide you to your accommodation for the week. You will have some time to unpack and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. Your designated bicycle for the week will also be introduced to you at this time.

At around 6 pm, you will gather with the group for your first evening meal and be introduced to your fitness instructor/assistant host. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your fellow retreaters, and you will be provided with a detailed plan for the exciting week ahead.

If you happen to arrive later than this scheduled time, rest assured that a delicious evening meal will be prepared for you, and you will have the chance to meet everyone the following morning at breakfast.

Day 2

If you’re feeling up for it, a fitness class will be held at 8 am, but please remember that participation is voluntary and not mandatory. After the class, a buffet breakfast will be available between 9 am and 10 am, giving you plenty of time to enjoy it at your leisure.

There are no other scheduled activities until 4 pm, when an evening of fitness class, sunset yoga/Pilates, and a BBQ will take place. If you prefer, you can use your free time to explore the local sites. The beach is just a short walk or cycle away.

Day 3

Day 3 will commence with an early start as we embark on a guided bike ride to the Aloe Vera Farms of Pandrosia. The bike ride spans a total distance of approximately 18km, but we will pause midway to for a an educated and guided tour of the farms.

If cycling for longer distances isn’t your cup of tea, you may opt for an E-Bike upgrade by requesting more information.

Upon our return to the Villas, you will have some downtime to unwind before we commence an evening of fitness classes for those interested. We will end the day with a sunset pilates/yoga class, which will be a sublime way to conclude the day after the morning’s bike ride.

Day 4

Do you wake up early? If so, you’ll adore the Pilates/yoga class on Day 4, which is a phenomenal way to commence the day.

Later on, there will be an assortment of fitness classes for you to choose from.

Additionally, you may wish to venture out on your bike to explore the local surroundings, and you can ask Gilly or Louise (the Villa Manager) for some suggestions.

Day 5

We will be starting Day 5 early to avoid the scorching sun as we hike across Mount Dikeos to Palio Pyli Fortress. It is highly recommended to have breakfast beforehand, and transportation will be arranged to take you to the mountain village of Zia, where we will commence the hike to the island’s highest point to relish the stunning views. The hike is of moderate difficulty. You will have ample time to explore the castle and enjoy a coffee in the local cafe whilst being mesmerised by the views.

Upon leaving Palio Pyli, you will be transported back to the luxurious villas. In the evening, you can choose from a selection of fitness classes available.

Day 6

Day 6 will start with a fitness class at a more relaxed time, giving you ample time to prepare for your selected activity. At the beginning of the week, you will have booked your activity with Gilly. You may have opted for a horse riding session, which can be arranged at sunset, freeing up the rest of the day for other activities. For those interested in learning a new skill, we offer windsurfing lessons, or if you are an experienced windsurfer, equipment rental can be arranged. Kos is renowned for windsurfing, and it’s an excellent opportunity to try it out. If you feel that you have done enough exercise and require some pampering, the traditional Artemis Hamam offers various packages, ranging from an hour to an entire day of relaxation. If you are feeling adventurous, you could go on a boat trip to explore local islands or even Turkey. Alternatively, if you feel like having a lazy day, we can direct you to some of the local beaches.

Day 7

On the last day of your stay, we will begin with a revitalizing Pilates or Yoga class, followed by a rejuvenating massage to round off your week of wellness. Early evening we will make our way to Kos town to indulge in the local cuisine at the harbour. This is a fantastic opportunity to pick up some last-minute souvenirs before returning home.

Enjoy your final full day in Kos!

Day 8

On departure day, it’s time to bid farewell. We will express our gratitude for your stay and accompany you to your airport transfer. Although we will be sad to see you go, we hope you had an incredible retreat experience that you will cherish and that you will consider visiting us again in the future. Safe travels!
