If you've been dreaming of hosting your own retreat but feel overwhelmed by the logistics, you're not alone. As a wellness instructor, yoga teacher, Pilates professional, or creative arts facilitator, your expertise lies in transformation – not in navigating foreign venues, negotiating with suppliers, or coordinating complex travel arrangements.
That's precisely where we come in.
At Evexia Kos, we specialise in retreat planning services that take the stress out of creating unforgettable experiences, allowing you to focus on what you do best: guiding your participants through meaningful transformation.
Why Kos? The Island Where Wellness Was Born
Kos isn't just another beautiful Greek island – it's the birthplace of modern medicine and the home of Hippocrates, the father of holistic healing. When Hippocrates established his healing sanctuary here over 2,400 years ago, he understood what we still know today: that true wellness requires the perfect environment.
Kos offers everything your retreat needs:
Ancient healing energy – Walk in the footsteps of Hippocrates at the Asklepion, where healing arts were first practised
Year-round sunshine – Over 300 days of glorious weather for outdoor sessions
Stunning natural diversity – From pristine beaches to mountain trails, thermal springs to ancient forests
Authentic Greek culture – Small villages, traditional tavernas, and warm local hospitality
Accessibility – Direct flights from major European cities and excellent local infrastructure
Affordability – Exceptional value compared to other Mediterranean destinations
Whether you're planning a yoga retreat, Pilates intensive, spiritual gathering, women's circle, adventure experience, fitness bootcamp, or creative arts workshop, Kos provides the perfect backdrop for transformation.
Why Our Retreat Planning Service Changes Everything
We've helped create fitness retreats, Pilates retreats, yoga retreats, spiritual retreats, women's retreats, adventure retreats, and health retreats – and we understand that every instructor has a unique vision.
Here's what makes our service different:
1. Local Expertise You Can Trust
We live and work in Kos. We know every venue, every supplier, every hidden gem. We've personally vetted our partners to ensure they meet the high standards your participants deserve. You're not working with a faceless booking platform – you're partnering with locals who genuinely care about your success.
2. Comprehensive Support, From Vision to Reality
Our service covers everything:
Venue sourcing and booking
Accommodation arrangements
Catering and dietary requirements
Activity coordination and add-ons
Transport and transfers
Local experiences and cultural immersion
On-the-ground support throughout your retreat
3. Flexible Packages Tailored to Your Vision
We offer three retreat planning packages designed to suit different needs and budgets. Whether you want full-service support or just help with specific elements, we'll create a solution that works for you.
4. Curated Venues and Activities – Or We'll Find Exactly What You Want
Our comprehensive brochures showcase carefully selected venues and activity options that we know work beautifully for retreats:
📘 Evexia Retreat Planning Brochure – Your complete guide to planning with us

But here's what truly sets us apart: If you have something specific in mind that isn't in our brochures, we'll do the hard work to find it for you. Want a private cooking class with a local grandmother? A secluded beach for sunrise meditation? A traditional pottery workshop? We'll make it happen.
5. You Focus on Teaching, We Handle the Rest
