Inspired by the Blue Zones
​
​At Nefeli Nine, we draw much inspiration from the Blue Zones. We believe that these unique regions, where people live longer and healthier lives, offer valuable insights into holistic well-being. Our retreats embrace the principles of community, natural movement, and stress reduction that are at the core of Blue Zone living. We offer daily hikes through breathtaking landscapes all around Greece, rejuvenating yoga sessions, and a diet inspired by Blue Zone principles. By incorporating these elements, Nefeli Nine strives to create an environment that nurtures not only physical health but also a sense of balance and vitality.
​
Our diet plan consists of natural, fresh ingredients, locally sourced in Greece. We avoid all processed sugars, chemicals and additives. Our menu is largely vegetarian, supplemented by organic lean meat and fresh fish all inspired by slow-living and the Blue Zones.

Meaning behind the name, Nefeli Nine
Serving both as a name and a promise of how you’ll be feeling after spending your time with us Nefeli is derived from the ancient Greek word «νÎφος» (nefos), meaning “cloud”, paired with the word Nine to make Cloud Nine (but with a Greek twist).

A Note on Luxury
In today’s world, the idea of luxury has become increasingly subjective and relative. Our luxury is intertwined with the alluring nostalgia of bygone eras, the fragrances of nature, a leisurely pace of life, authentic human connections, and the simplicity of genuine interactions where your needs and whims are effortlessly looked after.
How do we define luxury at Nefeli Nine?
​
At Nefeli Nine we provide our own definition of luxury, where the alluring nostalgia of bygone eras intertwines with the fragrances of nature, a leisurely pace of life, authentic human connections, and the simplicity of genuine interactions where your needs and whims are effortlessly looked after.
​
We offer luxury in a way that revolves around distancing oneself from the constant influx of technology and digital visuals, embracing a lifestyle centred on wholesome, organic nourishment, relishing the distinct tastes of local cuisine, indulging in naps, immersing in the pleasure of reading books bathed in Mediterranean sunlight, and granting oneself the luxury of momentarily escaping the constraints of time and decision making.
We take care of everything for you, the only decision we leave in your hands is whether you want tea or coffee!
