Looking for a restorative escape on a Greek island?
Join us September 4-9, 2026 on the island of Santorini, Greece for a 6-day, 5-night women’s Slow Travel Retreat surrounded by whitewashed villages, endless blue sea, and some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
​
We’ll spend five days together in a private villa overlooking the Aegean, with peaceful mornings, daily activities to explore the island, and unstructured evenings. This retreat is designed for women who want to experience Greece in a more intentional way, without rushing, over-planning, or trying to see everything at once.
​
Here, your only responsibility is to be present, to rest, and to enjoy the experience as it comes.
What to Expect
At our peaceful villa, you’ll be cared for with:
​
-
Comfortable accommodations with ocean views and two pools
-
Chef-prepared breakfasts and dinners, plus all on-property drinks included
-
Airport transfers to and from Santorini National Airport (JTR)
-
A welcoming retreat host to take care of all the details
-
Optional daily activities like a blue domes tour (i.e., the white houses with blue roofs!), a boat trip to see active volcanoes, or wine tasting.
-
Uninterrupted downtime to rest and opportunities to explore beaches and nearby towns
-
Small group size — just 10 women — so you can form meaningful connections
Our flexible itinerary is designed to balance relaxation and adventure. You choose how much (or how little) you want to do.
This is our villa and one of the two pools!

Traveling as Part of a Group
Meal Plan & Dietary Restrictions
Each day begins with a light continental breakfast, and dinners are prepared by our private chef. Some lunches will be provided on our daytime excursions, but not all. If you have dietary restrictions, follow a vegan or gluten-free diet, or have severe allergies, please notify us at reservations@slowtravelco.com at least 30 days before departure so we can accommodate you.
Most rooms are double occupancy with king or queen beds. Unless you’re traveling with a friend or partner, we’ll pair you with a fellow retreat attendee. Occasionally, rooms with two beds are available, but this can’t be guaranteed. If you prefer privacy, you can upgrade to a single room for an additional fee.
​
To ensure a comfortable stay, please be considerate of your roommate regarding cleanliness and noise. Earplugs and eye masks will be provided. Travelers who use a CPAP machine or are aware of snoring may want to consider a single room upgrade.
