Koukoulee, 120 Ocean View Road, Auckland (2026)

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’.

How do you want to feel on Sunday evening?

More rested?
More present?
A little lighter than you do right now?

This Sunday we're hosting The Quiet Reset — a day dedicated to slowing down, stepping away from the noise and giving yourself the space to simply be.

Through gentle movement, mindfulness, nourishing food, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra, we'll guide you through practices designed to calm the nervous system and help you reconnect with yourself.

And if a full day feels like too much of a commitment right now, we've opened up a small number of places for our **afternoon session only**.

✨ Afternoon Quiet Reset | 1.30pm – 4.00pm
A deeply nourishing afternoon of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra (guided deep rest meditation).

Whether you join us for the full day or simply the afternoon, we know you'll leave feeling calmer, clearer and grateful you made the time.

💛 10% off all bookings until Friday midnight - for the full day retreat. Use the code QUIET10.

Today I was giving a facial to a beautiful older woman.

As I worked, I found myself thinking about what beautiful skin actually means.

It isn’t skin without wrinkles.

It isn’t skin without pigmentation.

It isn’t skin that looks 25 forever.

Wrinkles tell the story of a life lived. Pigmentation, texture and change are all part of being human.

When I touch someone’s skin, what feels beautiful to me is something else entirely.

Healthy skin.

Skin that feels hydrated.

Skin that feels supple and nourished.

Skin that has vitality.

Skin that feels comfortable in itself.

Of course there are treatments that can soften the signs of aging, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting that. But I’ve never believed that beauty comes from erasing every line.

To me, beautiful skin is healthy skin.

And healthy skin exists at every age.

Most people are surprised when they hear the biggest treatment gathering we’ve hosted at Koukoulee was 12 people 🌿

Because while we may be a small, intimate space, we’ve designed these group experiences to feel slow, nourishing and beautifully connected.

Think massages, facials, movement, tea, healthy platters, ocean views and time together — while the day unfolds gently around you.

Some groups come for birthdays, hens weekends or corporate retreats. Others simply want an excuse to pause, reconnect and spend meaningful time together.

Every gathering is tailored differently, which is what makes them feel so special.

We’re already beginning to receive bookings for spring, and winter dates are also filling steadily — so if you’re thinking of organising something for your group, now is a lovely time to reach out 💛
