Just for you to see and feel a bit of the natural environment around Apanema Mindfulness Resort in Lefkada, Greece.
We have no neighbours. That is why we love this place so much.
And that is why our guests find it one of the nicest places for relaxing getaways in Lefkada.
In summer, when all the island is very hot, our little place in the mountain side of the island, is cooler, thanks to all the trees around and no cement or other structures around.
The East orientation means sun in the morning and noon, with natural shade in the afternoon and evening, as the sun goes down over the mountain. This is great for summers. Getting back to your accommodation in Lefkada and knowing you are escaping the (sometimes) terrible heat in other parts of the island…
In winter, the morning-noon sun is a blessing, as days can get quite cold sometimes. But no worries, our villas are heated nicely. So is our pool. Plus, there’s always the free sauna.
The swimming pool is open all year round private for the guests staying in our 4 villas.
There is also a small pool for children, next to the big pool a great thing to have for a place that is family friendly like ours.
From end of October until May the pool is heated via the heat pumps and solar panels and it also has a pool cover, for not letting the temperature of the water cool down overnight.
We might keep the pool cover in the daytime too during colder periods, case in which the guests would have to raise the cover to take a swim.
Having a heated pool in Lefkada is a very rare feature and we strive our best to make it usable all year long.
Simplicity is deceptive. What looks empty is full of intention. A Zen Garden strips away the noise, leaving only the essentials. Peace. Balance. A space to clear your mind. It’s about finding beauty in the barest things and realizing less is more.
This space, surrounded by old pine trees, is meant to offer Apanema Mindfulness guests an outdoor dedicated space for practices and techniques that renew and relax our exausted minds.
What is a “Zen garden”? It is the place where minimalism meets meaning. A Zen garden is also known as a Japanese rock garden or “karesansui”.
Picture a simple patch of land — just rocks, gravel, and whatever else nature grew here. At first glance, it seems basic, but every element is deliberate. It’s a Japanese tradition, with centuries of history behind it. The gravel is placed into patterns that mimic water. The rocks? They stand like silent giants, simbolizing mountains or islands.
There’s no flash here, no lush greenery. Just an invitation to slow down and breathe.
We added another element to our Zen garden – a little pond with circulated water. It is home to lotus flowers and very tiny fish. A reminder to the forever-flowing energy.
We love this part of the resort. Sometimes, you will see Zvika and Anat here, very early in the morning doing their morning Tai Chi. Feel free to join the session if you are awake at too-early-to-mention hours.
They are both the hosts and guides of Apanema Mindfulness Retreats, which are held all year long, except the hot summer months. Here is all the info and the upcoming dates of our Wellbeing Retreats in Lefkada.
We’ve created this massage hut as a retreat within a retreat. The outside world fades away, and you can truly relax. Whether you seek relief from stress, a moment of peace, or simply being cared for, this your place.
The hut is built from natural wood. We tried to blend all our facilities, as to feel almost one with nature.
No clutter, no distraction. Just a space that allows reconnecting body & mind.
The gentle sounds of nature… rustling leaves, birdsongs, the distant hum of cicadas…form a soothing backdrop. Much better than traffic sounds.
Inside, you’ll find only what’s necessary: 2 comfortable massage tables & fresh linens.
Our skilled therapists know the power of touch. We work with more specialists, they offer different types of massages. Please contact us to put you in touch with the right therapist for you.
Visit our Therapies Page to see more details about the types of massage offered. There are more Wellbeing therapies available, including Sound Healing and Therapy.
We offer free sauna sessions for all guests staying in our villas.
During the seasons that are not summer, our Greek island silences down almost completely.
The crowds are gone. The weather is finally pleasant. The beaches are like nature left them – all alone. It might rain, it might not. You never know in Lefkada.
We though that a Swedish sauna would be so nice to sit in, when it is a bit chilli outside.
Built with special wood, when you step inside and the heat wraps you around… It feels like a friendly warm embrace after the chill.
The stones do their thing – crackle softly, and release a comforting aroma of cedar.
It’s a raw, simple, ancient way for muscular and stress relief.
As we like to update our place each year, this was our main new addition – A Glass Practice Studio.
It was designed to be used for private yoga classes, pilates, tai chi, qi gong, or any other type of practice that focuses on taking a break from the madness we live in.
The glass walls harness the sun heat and creates a cosy environment with natural views of the green scenery around our place. Ideal for autumn-winter-spring days. With or without rain.
It can be used in summer too, but only early in the morning, sometimes late in the evening. Otherwise, as you imagine, during summer it gets too hot to be inside. The windows stay open all summer long.
This is where some of the Tai Chi, Qi Gong sessions from our own Wellbeing Retreats in Lefkada take place.
Please do not let children unsupervised here.
Hope you like it!
