This tiny island in the Dodecanese has a rare, untouched charm that’s hard to find anywhere else in Greece. Remote and secluded, Lipsi invites you to completely disconnect from the noise of the outside world and immerse yourself in the rhythm of island life.
It’s not as easy to reach as the more famous Greek islands, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Once you arrive, you’ll understand: time slows down, the sea feels closer, and every moment becomes more meaningful.
Lipsi gives our retreats the perfect setting : pure, peaceful, and authentic, so you can truly unwind, recharge, and reconnect with yourself.
-
One of the reasons we chose Lipsi is how easy it is to move around once you’re here. The island is small, peaceful, and simple to navigate, with everything being just a short ride away.
We’ve partnered with a local taxi service that can pick you up and take you wherever you need to go. Every ride costs between €5 and €10, making it convenient and affordable.
But the best way to explore Lipsi, by far, is by e-bike. It gives you complete freedom to discover hidden coves, quiet beaches, and breathtaking views at your own pace. The island has almost no traffic (apart from the occasional goat crossing the road), so cycling is safe, fun, and truly part of the experience.
We can pre-order some ebikes at the cost of €20 per day. Availability is limited, so hurry up.

Our Main Event Night is the highlight of the retreat: a night to celebrate, connect, and let go.
We kick things off with sunset cocktails overlooking the sea, followed by a buffet dinner filled with Mediterranean flavours and good vibes. Then the night truly begins: our DJs take over with an uplifting mix of house, minimal, and techno, setting the perfect soundtrack for dancing under the stars.
An open bar will keep the energy flowing all night, serving up high-end drinks and signature cocktails crafted for the occasion.
It’s more than a party — it’s a celebration of connection, music, and that unbeatable island feeling.

We want you to have the freedom to enjoy Lipsi your own way.
Our program includes breakfast and dinner, leaving the middle of the day open for you to explore, relax, or simply follow your mood. Maybe you’ll hop on your e-bike and ride to a local fish taverna for lunch by the sea, unwind at a beach club, or prepare something fresh in your villa’s kitchen to share with new friends.
Half board gives you the flexibility to make the most of every day — to discover the island, connect with others, and truly live like a local.

Our retreats are designed for everyone, no matter your current fitness level. All our workouts are scalable, with exercises that can be adapted to match your individual ability, whether you’re a beginner or a regular gym-goer.
For the running sessions, we make sure everyone feels comfortable: one crew member leads the faster runners, while another stays at the back with those who prefer a lighter jog (with a few pauses to catch your breath and enjoy the view). We’ll also have a team member carrying extra water, so you’ll always be supported along the way.
