Book Your Spot
Six days to step away from your usual routine, spend more time outside, move your body and enjoy a slower way of living.
Wake up in nature. Stay in comfortable glamping tents surrounded by hills and old olive trees. Start your mornings outside, enjoy slow evenings under the stars and have time to simply do nothing.
Hike. Move. Swim. Sauna. Cold plunge. Share the experience with a small international group of maximum 15 guests — and still have time for yourself.
Join the activities, take a book to your tent, enjoy a slow morning or simply relax and take in the views.
All activities are included in the price. Nothing is compulsory. This is your week.
Two guided contrast therapy sessions led by Paul. A physical reset that matches the pace of the week.
Your first session eases you in with the science and practice of contrast therapy. By the end you'll wonder why you ever needed a phone to feel alive.
By Thursday you know the rhythm. This session goes deeper -- longer rounds, more intense contrast, and a group that has been through a week together.
Enough structure to switch off, enough freedom to make it your own.
Select your accommodation and occupancy. Your selection will appear in the booking panel — then WhatsApp us to confirm your spot.
Retreat dates: November 8–13, 2026

For Rest is tucked into a hidden valley, perched on a breezy ridge, with goat tracks leading up to a stunning viewpoint and clearings that look out over the quaint village of Agios Theodoros.
The passion project of hosts Loucas and Polina -- every inch of the unique glamping space has been lovingly dreamt into life. Private tents, quiet mornings, unhurried meals, and time that belongs only to you.
People who care about genuine experiences that allow for laughter, don't take themselves too seriously, and truly resonate.
Paul set up 9 Waves Sauna and Ice to bring the best of hot and cold culture from his native Ireland to beautiful Cyprus. He leads both contrast therapy sessions and three optional outdoor workouts during the week.
Polina and Loucas built For Rest from a passion for experiences that let people truly slow down. They'll be on hand all week -- and were inspired to build this joint project with Paul by their shared love of wellness experiences that resonate, that allow for laughter, and that don't take themselves too seriously.
All activities included. Arrive Sunday. Leave Friday. Come back to yourself.
