At the center of Milelja Retreat Center is a rejuvenating water landscape featuring a hot tub and a refreshing, chlorine-free pool. During the construction of the retreat center, warm, soft spring water was discovered deep beneath the surface. Although the water cools as it flows into the pool, it retains the remarkable properties of thermal water.
A German analysis highlights the water's exceptional qualities, particularly its ability to nourish the skin and strengthen the bones. This special spring water elevates your experience, offering both relaxation and a deeper connection to the healing energy of nature.

Retreat location
In the heart of Molyvos in Lesvos island, our home for the week, Milelja Retreat Center is a peaceful haven where natural stone buildings, lush gardens, and breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea creating the perfect location for revitalize.
The Milelja Retreat Center is located on the Greek Island of Lesvos in the eastern Aegean, a ten minutes walk to the sea and the small town of Molyvos. With its calming atmosphere and intimate setting, the Milelja Retreat Center has been hosting retreats and workshops for decades, creating a space where participants can fully embrace silence, natural beauty and relaxation.
The location
Molyvos is a very charming small town. It is architecturally protected due to its historical importance as an ancient seaport–dating from before the fall of Troy.
Molyvos is situated on a conical shaped hill crowned by a magnificent medieval castle. A walk through the Market–roofed by flower arcades down to the picturesque port, is an expedition through the eventful history of the island.
But Molyvos is not only about the past. Today, one can enjoy tourism at its best. Since the sixties, it has been a favorite location for romantics, writers and artists.
