Lying on the hilltop of a picturesque, tiny village over the northern shore of Evia island,
Anandamaya is a holistic wellness retreat, fully immersed in slow & conscious living.
Breathtaking views of the Aegean infinite blue, deep pine forests and olive groves compose the ideal scenery to unwind & reconnect.
Watch the sun rising from our Shala during your morning practice and get your energy flowing
for the extraordinary day unfolding in front of you.
Deep forests, sparkling streams, hidden waterfalls, thermal springs, peaceful wetlands, ancient trees,
medieval monasteries & abandoned villages, compose a constant interchange of landscapes
giving this mysterious, somehow spiritual feeling of awe and admiration.
Often there is a feeling of a place left in time in such a fascinating way, in a part of the world
that, literally, enjoys every season.
Mediterranean flavors blended smoothly with local recipes, naturally cultivated products and ample love,
polish an unblemished experience to often be recalled and its effects induce inspiration.
