ABOUT THE GREECE RETREAT
We are the winter retreat partner for Kissamos Bay Hotel.
The Greece Retreat was created to make it easier for retreat leaders to host private, fully supported retreats in Crete during the island’s quieter season.
THE PARTNERSHIP
We do not own Kissamos Bay Hotel.
We are the hotel’s winter retreat partner.
We work alongside the Kissamos Bay team to make the property available to retreat leaders from November through April, combining the privacy of a dedicated retreat property with the hospitality infrastructure of an established hotel.
WHY THIS MATTERS
You know exactly who owns the property, who handles the hotel experience, and who supports you through the retreat planning process.
AN ESTABLISHED RETREAT FACILITY
Summer sells out far in advance. Secret Season opens a different side of Crete.
Kissamos Bay already hosts retreats during the warmer months, and summer availability is typically booked well ahead. That demand is part of what inspired the Secret Season program.
Feb–Apr
Secret Season dates
The quieter months when the island feels more spacious and local.
Private
Property use
Your group has the property without unrelated hotel guests moving through the experience.
Crete
Without the crowds
Quiet beaches, easier exploration, long dinners, and a slower pace.
During your retreat, the property is exclusively yours. No unrelated hotel guests. No second retreat sharing your common spaces. At the same time, you are not renting a private villa and figuring everything out yourself.
INDEPENDENT REVIEWS
You do not have to take our word for it.
Kissamos Bay has years of guest feedback across established travel platforms. If you are doing your due diligence, we encourage you to read the independent reviews yourself.

WHY WE BUILT THIS
Hosting internationally should not mean becoming a hotel operator.
We saw an opportunity to take a property that already works exceptionally well for retreats and make it accessible during a season most travelers overlook.
A private retreat property. An experienced hospitality team. A quieter side of Crete.
You bring the retreat. We help make the week happen.
