The Venue

Villa Konstantinos

‘Find Your Magic’ takes place at the stunning Villa Konstantinos—a serene, hillside sanctuary surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, just outside the village of Almyrida and 26km east of Chania. Designed for deep restoration and connection, the villa offers multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for group sessions and solo reflection, including three kitchens, spacious lounges, sun-drenched terraces, and a private pool with sweeping views across the valley to the sea. Nestled in nature yet close to the beach and village life, it’s the perfect setting to soften, reset, and reconnect to what matters.

The Bedrooms

Single or shared
SINGLE or SHARED ROOMS

Soft, simple, and nature-connected—each of the villa’s seven bedrooms offers a peaceful place to rest and recalibrate. Spread over three levels, rooms feature calming design, fresh air flow, and access to five shared bathrooms, with several rooms opening onto private balconies or garden terraces. Whether you choose your own room or share with a like-hearted guest, every space invites deep rest after days spent moving, reflecting, and soaking up the sun and wild beauty of the land.

The Food

Soul-Nourishing & Delicious

At Find Your Magic, we believe food should be both grounding and joyful—fuel for your body, and a daily invitation to presence. At Villa Serenity, our meals are curated to support your reset: fresh, flavourful, and deeply nourishing.

Mornings begin with a light, energising spread—think vibrant seasonal fruits, wholesome snacks, and refreshing smoothies to ease you into the day.

Brunches and dinners are enjoyed together on the villa’s shaded terrace, surrounded by olive groves and sea air. Meals are made with love by our local chef team using Crete’s finest ingredients—fresh herbs, colourful vegetables, high-quality proteins, and nourishing grains. Plant-based options are always available, and no retreat is complete without a few sweet surprises.

You’ll also head out to explore the island’s culinary soul, dining at hand-picked local tavernas that showcase the depth and tradition of Cretan cuisine. We end the week with a celebratory dinner in Rethymno—a final feast shared in joy and connection.
