Private retreat venue in Kissamos, Crete

Host your retreat on the coast of Crete.

Kissamos Bay gives your group a private place to stay, gather, teach, eat, connect, and experience Crete together.

For the duration of your retreat, the property is reserved exclusively for your group, with 10 guest rooms, multiple facilitation spaces, sea views, and the everyday hospitality side handled around you.

November through April

6 nights / 7 days from $7,200

Up to 20 people

Your private retreat home

Small enough to feel like your own.

Large enough to give everyone room.

A retreat for 10, 15, or 20 people has very different needs from a hotel stay. People need somewhere to sleep, but they also need room to gather, break into smaller conversations, step outside, take a walk, have breakfast together, and occasionally get away from the group.

Kissamos Bay is intentionally compact enough to keep everyone connected while giving you multiple spaces to move through during the week.

And because the property is reserved exclusively for your retreat, those spaces belong to your group.

Flexible double or twin bed setup with private bathrooms.

8

Sea-view balconies

Two additional rooms overlook the pool.

20

People maximum

Small enough for real connection without feeling cramped.

Every guest room includes a private bathroom, Starlink Wi-Fi, television, mini fridge, and flexible double or twin bed configuration.

The rooms

Give your guests privacy without separating the group.

Kissamos Bay has 10 guest rooms, each with its own private bathroom.

Every room can be prepared with either one larger double bed or two separate single beds, giving you flexibility in how you structure your retreat.

Eight rooms include private sea-view balconies. The remaining two overlook the pool.

Flexible double or twin bed setup

You Control The Rooming Model

Offer shared rooms. Create private-room upgrades. Charge a premium for guaranteed sea-view accommodation. You decide what makes sense for your retreat and what your guests pay.

Spaces that flex around your program

Your retreat does not have to fit into one room.

Different parts of the week may need different environments. A presentation may work best indoors. A conversation might belong on the rooftop. Journaling can happen beside the pool.

Indoor

Facilitation Studio

60 m² / approx. 646 sq ft

A centrally heated indoor gathering space with seating for up to 20 people.

Chairs, yoga mats and floor pillows are available for workshops, coaching circles, presentations, movement, breathwork, meditation and teaching.

Sea-View Rooftop

A large open-air gathering space overlooking the water with padded seating and a substantial permanent overhead covering.

Use it for teaching, conversation, movement, reflection, informal gatherings, or simply giving the group somewhere beautiful to spend time together.

Covered outdoor

Poolside Space

Long communal tables and seating for up to 20 people beside the pool, with a covered area and buffet station.

Breakfast happens here, but the space also works for breakout conversations, journaling, creative work, informal sessions and gathering.

If the weather changes, your retreat does not have to.

A rooftop session can move indoors. A workshop can move outside when the weather is beautiful.

One property. Multiple ways to gather.

And the beach?

It is right outside.

You do not need to schedule every meaningful part of a retreat.

Sometimes it is a morning walk beside the water. A conversation between sessions. Ten quiet minutes alone. Coffee overlooking the sea.

Those moments do not require transportation, planning, or another item on the itinerary. They can simply happen.

Designed for the Secret Season

Winter does not mean your retreat depends on perfect weather.

Retreat dates at Kissamos Bay are available from November through April.

Central heating operates throughout the winter season, and the combination of indoor, covered, and open-air gathering spaces gives your program flexibility throughout the week.

When the weather is beautiful, move outside.

When it is cooler or wet, move the session indoors.

Beachfront without being isolated

Close enough to town.

Far enough from ordinary life.

The property sits on the western side of Crete in Kissamos, approximately 40 km from Chania International Airport.

Once your group arrives, the beachfront property is within walking distance of Kissamos town, restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences.

Your retreat can feel tucked away without requiring everyone to disappear into the middle of nowhere.

More than a private rental

The property comes with people taking care of it.

You get the privacy and exclusivity of taking over your own retreat property without inheriting the operational work that normally comes with it.

Breakfast is prepared each morning. Coffee and tea are available throughout the day. Housekeeping can refresh guest rooms during the stay. Included dinners are coordinated with partner restaurants in Kissamos.

What retreat leaders say

What does it actually feel like to host here?

"Hosting our retreat at this location gave us the perfect amount of support and flexibility. Our guests were greeted with a buffet breakfast every morning, and enjoyed one of the many restaurants along the water for dinner. The rooms are clean, many of them open to the sea breezes and a view of the water from the balcony."

"What can I say, it’s perfect! From the perfect location to excellent service, Kissamos Bay Hotel is the place to host your retreat. From private boutique hotel with rooftop shala and basement for yoga, workshops and classes, to the brand new pool and best breakfast service every morning, Kissamos Bay Hotel delivered a white glove service for a fraction of a price."

“5 stars for everything. The place was well kept clean and comfortable. The location is stunning just two strides from a beautiful ocean. I went there this summer and had an unforgettable experience. I highly encourage anyone to book their stay here or retreat. The hotel is just down from a little strip of restaurants along the sea.”

"What an amazing week on a fantastic retreat. I was on a retreat here in May 2026 and i will come back 100 times!"

“It feels truly a home for me and others. I couldn’t recommend this place enough for your next retreat. Will definitely come back!”
