Why hosting my life coaching retreat in this specific location in Naxos?
By bringing your retreat here you get many benefits! No matter what the season or the reason of your retreat, ELaiolithos itself and its central location on the island has something to offer to everyone – enjoy La Dolce Vita in Naxos! Its structure, design, magnificent views, facilities, practices, natural environment, and surroundings along with the founder’s philosophy, its core values and tenets are just a few reasons to bring your team coaching retreat here and combine it with holidays.
Naxos’ mainland is an ideal destination for life coaching retreats: The natural geology of the region, where ELaiolithos is nestled, plays a huge role in its ability to host life coaching retreats. The mountains and natural landscape create the perfect setting for serenity along with alternative adventures and a variety of outdoor activities where you can feel the true power of the land and the value of life. This area is quite unique from a geographical viewpoint since the biggest green valley of all Cycladic islands lays in front of ELaiolithos, while the other Cycladic islands are known for their barren land.
The region has a long history, many monuments, Venetian castles, Byzantine churches, pristine nature, endless beaches with clear waters, and amazing food that will fascinate you. Its great advantage over other Cycladic islands is its larger size and its mainland that has many things to offer.
We assure you that once the retreat ends, you will be able to say “I’m leaving incredibly motivated!”
Why a life coaching retreat in Naxos is psychologically healthy?
Naxos is beautiful because it successfully combines striking contrasts and a relaxed rhythm of life. Its beauty is plain and purified, it can’t be taught; it is spontaneous and indigenous. Here, time moves slowly as you soak in the hinterland’s environment with all five senses. An autonomous island where there is a lot to discover and feel.
By hosting your life coaching retreat in Naxos while building your businesses promotes your clients psychological health. Exploring this pure world opens their horizons to a lot more possibilities. They come in contact with a new culture, healthy food that still grows with the traditional old methods, locals that work on the field with hands and support clean living. All this new pure and simple world, gets them out of the day to day and brings them into an environment that really helps them step outside their comfort zone, inspire them, make them dream bigger, understand life’s realities, their priorities and do more.

Why are team retreats important?
The main aim of the company staff retreat is to facilitate the ability of a group to step back from their day-to-day routine, and to strengthen and boost the relationship and association between the staff members. This offers a chance to the team members to develop stronger bonds with one another.
A team retreat is a dedicated time for everyone in the team as a whole to reflect on the business, get aligned, and chart a path forward. The retreat’s mission is centered around improving your health and well being through relaxation, connection and education. You try new things, create time to do things you enjoy, going off the grid, digital detox, healthy food, and above all enjoy yourself and have fun! Learning, sharing, bonding and unifying are the essential elements to a successful retreat-workshop. And the gains don’t end when you wave goodbye to your time away but instead have a lasting impact.
