The Kindfulness Couples Retreat in Greece takes place in Olympiada, Halkidiki, from 3 to 9 October 2026. Led by relationship therapists Jivan Dios and Alf Galfvensjö, this six-night retreat combines private couple exercises, Greek food, time by the sea and practical ways to strengthen connection, trust and joy.

A unique holiday and couples retreat in Greece

Time to enjoy your relationship

This is a retreat where you are also genuinely on holiday. Each couple works privately and has spacious, unhurried time with one another.

Some time ago, we spent several wonderful days in the old Greek village of Olympiada, beside the birthplace of Aristotle. We stayed at a small, family-owned boutique hotel with sea views and a beautiful breakfast garden.

The surrounding area is protected from large-scale development. There are no large resort hotels or crowds—only a welcoming village, beautiful natural surroundings and beaches where it is still possible to find space for yourselves.

“This is the perfect place for a couples retreat,” we said to one another. When rooms unexpectedly became available this October, we decided to invite a small number of couples to join us.

This is not group therapy. You will not be asked to discuss your relationship with the group. All couple exercises are private and are done with your own partner.

Love is the cause of unity in all things.

Feeling good is the best medicine

Over six relaxing days, we will share what we have learned during 13 years of working with couples and exploring what helps relationships last and grow.

This week is not about analysing everything that is wrong. It is about enjoying your life together and finding simple, realistic ways to create more closeness, pleasure and ease.

You may also notice how much you are already doing well—things that easily pass unnoticed in everyday life. Together, you will strengthen what is working and explore new habits that can make a meaningful difference without demanding more from already busy lives.

Beyond the holiday

What you’ll take home

Our intention is that you leave Greece not only rested and full of beautiful memories, but also feeling more connected to one another—and with simple ways to keep nourishing your relationship at home.

A renewed feeling of closeness

More joy, playfulness and ease together

A deeper sense of safety and trust

A clearer understanding of what helps each of you feel loved

Simple tools you can use every day to nourish your relationship

New ways to reconnect when everyday life pulls you in different directions

Shared memories and a renewed sense of being a team

Is this week for you?

This retreat may feel right if…

You love one another, but everyday life often takes over.

You want more time, pleasure and ease together.

You want to nurture your relationship without focusing on problems.

You want a holiday that gives you something meaningful to bring home.

You value privacy and want all couple exercises to remain between you.

You enjoy beautiful surroundings, good food, warmth and laughter.
