Ikaria Roots Resort & VIlla Private Blue Zone Longevity Retreat with Pool
Ikaria Roots | Blue Zone Longevity Retreat in Nature
Welcome to Ikaria Roots, a secluded retreat set in the mountains of Ikaria, one of the world’s officially recognized Blue Zone regions, where lifestyle, nature, and rhythm of life have remained deeply connected to well-being for generations. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: parts of the property are also available to book partly in lower price!
Surrounded by forest and open Aegean views, Ikaria Roots is designed for guests seeking privacy, calm, and reconnection with nature, far from crowded destinations and fast-paced routines. This is not a resort in the conventional sense, but a thoughtfully designed sanctuary that reflects the island’s slow living philosophy, natural beauty, and authentic character.
⸻
The Setting
Ikaria Roots is located in a mountainous, natural landscape, where the surroundings are defined by trees, birds, open skies, and panoramic sea views. The atmosphere is quiet, immersive, and deeply relaxing, offering guests the space to unwind and experience the island at a slower, more intentional pace.
The property is ideal for guests who value tranquility, nature, and privacy, while still being within driving distance of villages, beaches, and local tavernas.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: parts of the property are also available to book partly in lower price!
⸻
The Property
Guests have access to three independent houses within the property, along with shared outdoor spaces and a pool. The layout allows for both privacy and shared moments, making Ikaria Roots suitable for couples, families, small groups, or retreats that value space and discretion.
The design blends naturally into the environment, emphasizing simplicity, comfort, and harmony with the surrounding landscape.
⸻
Experience & Lifestyle
Ikaria is internationally known for its Blue Zone lifestyle, characterized by:
• Daily movement through walking and nature
• Simple, nutritious local food

Guests are encouraged to explore:

Our local team is available to assist with practical arrangements and local guidance when needed, while fully respecting guest privacy.
⸻
Access & Transportation
Due to the mountain location, guests are strongly advised to rent a vehicle. Access to the property requires driving through rural roads, which is part of the authentic Ikaria experience. We are happy to recommend trusted local car rental partners suitable for the terrain.

Why they chose this property
We chose this location in the mountains of Ikaria because it represents the island at its most authentic and unspoiled. Surrounded by forest, open landscapes, and wide Aegean views, the area offers a sense of privacy, silence, and connection to nature that is increasingly rare.
The neighborhood is defined by its natural environment rather than buildings—trees, birds, mountain air, and expansive views create a calm and grounding atmosphere. This setting reflects the traditional Ikarian way of life, where daily rhythms are slower, movement is natural, and life unfolds in balance with the land.
At the same time, the location allows access to villages, beaches, local tavernas, and cultural spots within driving distance, offering the freedom to explore the island while returning to a peaceful retreat.
What we value most about this neighborhood is its sense of space and stillness, making it ideal for guests who want to step away from crowded destinations and experience Ikaria’s nature, landscape, and lifestyle at a relaxed and meaningful pace.
