Koukoulee

Koukoulee Koukoulee is a health and wellness destination based on Waiheke island. It’s an easy-going break to meet you where you are at and regain your mojo.
(1)

Koukoulee offers private luxury yoga retreats on Waiheke, events and corporate wellness at some of the island’s most stunning locations. Every little detail is thoughtfully tailored to your intentions and planned to help you focus on the important stuff - your wellness. Rather than pressuring people into impossible stereotypes, our retreats celebrate authenticity. Our whole reason-to-be is about s

haring a gentle, balanced and optimistic break from the norm. We thoughtfully and intentionally slow-down and break the pattern by feeding the body and soul, so you get some sanctuary and leave feeling inspired and better than before. Think boutique accommodation rather resort or retreat complex. We have a range of self-contained luxury accommodation for your group with spa/swimming-pool, private lounge, dining, kitchen, bedrooms with luxury linen and toiletries. Think delicious, gut-loving recipes that are big of flavour and light on your digestion. Our filling and creative menu of balanced vegan meals, will have you inspired to take a few recipes home. Think totally bespoke. No two breaks are the same. Our ‘triage’ approach diagnoses exactly what you wish-for and tailors a made-to-order event. We’ll curate a personalised accommodation, staff, menu and activity package to meet your group dynamics and needs. Koukoulee was founded by Vassia Simou. As a ‘burn-out’ survivor, Vassia’s wellness philosophy is that every once in a while, we need to reset so we can see the big picture. Taking time-out to ‘find your happy’ is a joyful and fun experience. Vassia has spent the last three years building a large team of hand-picked, incredible individuals who are experts in their fields of yoga, Pilates, chefs, PTs, beauty therapists, and masseurs. These passionate specialists put their soul into their craft. What they do is more than a job to them. Vassia has worked in marketing and events for over 12 years but she gets a real kick when bringing people together, creating beautiful experiences and seeing the smiles on their faces. In Greece - where she comes from - it’s called ‘filoxenia’.

Remedial massage with Charlie

Charlie is trained in Ayuverdic, remedial and sports massage with more than 10 years working with clients with injuries, pain, stress and sleep issues. Remedial massage is a therapeutic massage that uses a variety of techniques to treat muscle and soft tissue issues:

Pain and injury management
Remedial massage can help with muscle injuries, trigger points, and poor joint mobility. It can also help with chronic pain and muscle tension.

Soft tissue techniques
Remedial massage therapists use a range of techniques to manipulate soft tissues, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching.

Customised treatment
Remedial massage therapists work with clients to develop a customised treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and concerns.

Holistic treatment
Remedial massage can help with a wide range of issues, including headaches, joint pain, anxiety, depression, and repetitive strain injury.

Relaxation
Remedial massage can also have a relaxing element.

The countdown to Christmas has begun, and we’re excited to
launch our very own Koukoulee Challenge: Flow & Glow! Truth is I've been seeing challenges everywhere lately and I've really wanted to commit but I don't want to do it on my own! So here you go...

Starting November 25th, we'll embark on a four-week journey to keep us focused and motivated. As always, there's no pressure to achieve; this challenge is simply a way to feel more inspired to take care of yourself during this exceptionally busy time. Plus, taking advantage of our current offers makes it extra easy and cost-effective! We’ve also opened up our memberships again.

We’ll support you along the way with motivational emails
that include healthy recipes, skincare tips, and more.

Here’s what we’re aiming for:

🧘‍♀️ at least 3 classes per week (1 strength, 1 balance, 1 restore or mix it up as you wish)

🚶‍♀️ 5,000 steps per day

🚰 2 litres of water per day

💪 Start your day with a protein-rich meal

🧖‍♀️ Complete your skincare routine daily (or why not add a facial to your routine? ;))

DM us to sign up and we'll print a calendar for you to track your progress!

23 Nov, 6 pm | Cacao and Sound

Join us for an evening of deeper connection with cacao,
sound meditation and inspiration sharing.

We are excited to feature Merlin Segura for this special evening. Merlin is a passionate sound journey guide whose path has been shaped by a deep connection to the healing power of sound and natural instruments. Since 2014, Merlin has traveled across continents, discovering traditional instruments and sacred sounds that resonate with the spirit of the earth.

From the deep, grounding hum of the Australian didjeridoo to the soulful melodies of Native American flutes, each instrument he gathered holds a unique story, a vibration that speaks to the heart. Through his journeys, Merlin has witnessed how sound can unlock the body’s innate wisdom and bring profound healing to the soul.

Now Merlin shares this gift by creating immersive soundscapes that allow others to reconnect, release, and find peace within. We will begin the session with uplifting cacao. And complete the session with an opportunity to connect and share.
The perfect opportunity to slow down and reconnect before the silly season!

🤍 Self-care November 🤍

With the silly season upon us - and we all know it can be a stressful time - we are officially declaring November the month of self-care.

We’ve put together two incredible value packages to use for yourself,
share with your friends or gift them to loved ones. We are also giving away gifts to carry on with your self-care at home because that’s what we’re all about!

Why we do what we do

Greek word for silkworm cocoon

We offer wellness retreats and morning yoga events at some of Waiheke’s most stunning locations. Our yoga studio in Oneroa is open for daily classes and one-off events and workshops. Looking for a private session for your group? We can organise yoga & brunch (or just yoga) at your space for your group.

We have created an extensive yoga teachers network on the island and work with some of the best accommodation providers. Get in touch :)

Koukoulee was founded by Vassia Simou. After a long and tiresome period, she realised that stopping to take a breath is more important than chasing goals - for the mind, the soul, the people around us and even work. Yet we barely do it.
