Welcome to The Haining

Haining (old Scots) haven, refuge…

…… sometimes we just need ‘to stop the world and get off’, to connect with a quieter place within us. Modern living can often get in the way of meeting that innate need for ourselves. Expensive corporate run spa resorts offer the promise of sanctuary but can feel clinical and intimidating.

Here at The Haining we offer an authentic, uniquely simple and natural alternative where you can safely let go of life in the fast lane, leaving the rest of the world behind for a little while.

Located on a hillside olive grove on the beautiful, unspoiled Greek island of Lesvos our aim is to help you to nurture your mind, body and spirit; leaving you feeling restored and energised. The Island won the coveted European Union’s EDEN award for the top sustainable tourism destination in Greece in 2009 and Eressos boasts one of the cleanest beaches in Europe.

If you are staying with us you can indulge in optional therapeutic treatments or simply drift off listening to warm breezes weaving through the olive trees. The beach side village of Skala Eressos is within easy walking distance and offers a range of water sports,* cafes, bars and traditional tavernas. Take a dip in the azure Aegean and savour the local culinary delights or let us plan and cook your own personal, nutritionally balanced menus, using local and home grown organic produce. You have the freedom to choose.

We can take you by car on lunch time picnics or provide you with a bicycle if you prefer to explore on your own.

You also have the facility of a fully equipped arts and crafts studio in which to express your creativity and an extensive library of books music and films to inspire you, within a fingertip’s reach ……

…… and if you should need to make contact with the outside world while you are here, WI-FI is also available.

* Some water sport activities must be pre booked in the UK
