Located on a lush hillside overlooking the Ionian Sea, Zoe Hora offers more than a luxury stay. It is a holistic retreat designed to restore balance to body and mind. Set in Dhërmi, Albania, and surrounded by olive trees, stone paths, and open sea views, the hotel has become a quiet refuge for guests seeking meaningful rest and conscious well-being.
Here, wellness is not an add-on. Instead, it shapes the rhythm of each day.
A Spa Inspired by Nature
At the heart of Zoe Hora lies a tranquil spa guided by the natural environment. Every detail, from the architecture to the essential oils used in each treatment, reflects the surrounding landscape. As a result, the experience feels grounded, calm, and unforced.
Whether you arrive after a coastal hike or a slow beach day, the spa offers space to reset. Guests can choose deep-tissue massages, restorative body treatments, or rejuvenating facials made with locally sourced ingredients. Meanwhile, soft notes of lavender, citrus, and wild herbs fill the air, gently bringing attention back to the present moment.
In addition, the steam room and outdoor relaxation area provide a place to linger. Shaded by Mediterranean greenery and scented with rosemary and pine, this space encourages stillness without expectation.
Yoga with a View
Few settings are as naturally suited to yoga as Dhërmi village and its mountain backdrop. For this reason, Zoe Hora hosts guided yoga sessions in open-air spaces overlooking the sea or within quiet garden corners.
Every Saturday and Sunday, certified instructors lead morning and afternoon classes. These sessions combine mindful movement with steady breath and the ambient sounds of nature. Whether you are new to yoga or experienced, the practice adapts to your pace.
As the horizon stretches across the Ionian, the experience becomes meditative rather than performative. At Zoe Hora, yoga supports alignment and calm, while complementing the overall sense of retreat.
Wellness Through Cuisine
Well-being also continues at the table. At Zoe Hora, the kitchen focuses on seasonal, organic ingredients sourced from local farmers and foragers. Meals are designed to nourish without excess.
From fresh salads and light broths to detox juices and balanced evening dishes, the menu supports a natural rhythm throughout the day. Moreover, chefs work alongside wellness consultants to ensure each dish feels intentional and satisfying.
As a result, dining becomes part of the wellness journey rather than a pause from it.
Escape the Noise, Embrace the Stillness
If your idea of luxury extends beyond views and amenities, Zoe Hora offers something quieter. Unlike crowded Mediterranean resorts, this is a place defined by space, restraint, and ease.
Here, guests are invited to slow down, reflect, and reconnect. With nature, with others, and with themselves.
At Zoe Hora, your well-being is central to the experience.
