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.
(2)

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’.

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 💛

A quiet reminder that early bird pricing for The Quiet Reset ends on 31 May.

This is our first day retreat at Koukoulee in a long time — and it has been created for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, low energy, or simply a season where the body is asking for more care.

It’s a gentle, spacious day of movement, meditation, nourishing food, deep rest, yin and Yoga Nidra.

Not a bootcamp.
Not another thing to achieve.
Just a day to soften, exhale, and be supported.

The Quiet Reset
Sunday 21 June
10am–4pm
Koukoulee, Oneroa

Early bird: $295 until 31 May
Standard: $345

You can also secure your place with a deposit now, with the remaining balance payable closer to the date.

We’re hosting our first day retreat in a long time.

The Quiet Reset is a one-day retreat for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, low energy, or simply that feeling of being stretched too thin for too long.

This is not a bootcamp.
And it’s not passive pampering either.

It’s a slower, more intelligent kind of support — through gentle movement, meditation, nourishing food, deep rest, yin, Yoga Nidra and space to properly exhale.

The day will be guided by Yuna May, whose work brings together movement, fascia-focused yin, nervous system support and a deep understanding of what women’s bodies need in this season of life.

Sunday 21 June
10am–4pm
Koukoulee, Oneroa

Early bird: $295 until 31 May
Standard: $345

You can now secure your place with a deposit, with the remaining balance payable closer to the date.

Spaces are intentionally limited so the day can feel calm, spacious and genuinely held.

A rare little opening for tomorrow 🤍

Due to a last-minute cancellation, we’ve had a couple of treatment appointments become available tomorrow — something that almost never happens on a Saturday at Koukoulee.

If you’ve been meaning to book in for a massage or facial, or wanted to treat Mum this weekend, this is your sign ✨

🌸 A little extra for mums this week

Mother figures hold so much.

They give, they carry, they juggle more than we often see.
This time of year feels like a quiet reminder to give something back.

A moment to pause.
A chance to be looked after.
Something they might not book for themselves.

This year, we’ve created a small collection of Mother’s Day vouchers — simple, tactile pieces designed to feel beautiful to give.

Each one carries a quiet message:
A small moment to pause, soften, and be looked after.

For a short time, we’ve added a little extra:

– $100 → $110
– $150 → $165 (a facial)
– $200 → $220 (Revive & Restore)

A small number of printed vouchers are also available in the studio, if you’d like something to give in person.

A quiet, thoughtful gift — for someone you love 🤍

There’s a point where pushing through stops working the way it used to.

You’re still showing up, still doing everything — but it takes more out of you, and recovery doesn’t quite land the same.

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and quietly building in the background.

The Quiet Reset, A Day to Rebalance Your Energy
Sunday 21 June · Waiheke Island with Yuna May

A slower, more considered day designed to support your nervous system, stabilise your energy, and help you feel like yourself again.

For women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply noticing a shift in how their body responds to stress, rest, and life.

We’ll move, rest, eat well, and give the body space to settle — without pushing, fixing, or overdoing.

It feels like a really important offering for this season.

Early release spots are now open.
Book your place while they’re available.

If you’re looking for something simple and thoughtful this Mother’s Day, we’ve created a limited collection of vouchers designed to give mum a moment to pause and be looked after.

– $100 voucher → $110
– $150 voucher → $165 (facial)
– $200 voucher → $220 (Revive & Restore)

They can be used for massages, facials, classes, or simply some time to slow down.

Offer valid until 9 May.

There’s a lot happening in the skincare world right now.
New trends, new products, new “must-try” treatments.

But what we keep coming back to is this:

The skin responds best when it’s not overwhelmed.

When circulation is supported.
When the nervous system is calm.
When treatments work with the body, not against it.

Slow, intentional treatments.
Less product, more purpose.
An approach that focuses on long-term skin health — not quick fixes.

If your skin has been feeling a little out of balance lately,
this might be a good place to start again

Side-by-side treatments, Saturdays 🤍

A little note — we’re able to offer side-by-side appointments last-minute on Saturdays, which isn’t always easy to find on the island.

So if the idea comes up to come in with a partner or a friend, it’s always worth reaching out — we can often accommodate you on the day.

You can each choose your own treatment and simply enjoy the experience together.

Send us a message 🥰

A gentle rhythm over Easter.

We’re open across the long weekend with slightly reduced treatment hours — so you can still take time to slow down, reset, and feel your best.

Classes will continue as usual, so you can keep your movement practice steady while you’re here.

If you’ve been meaning to book, this is a beautiful time to come in.

Visiting Waiheke? This is your reminder to slow down.

Whether you’re here for a few days or a little longer, our wellness offerings are designed to gently support your stay — without taking over your plans.

Join a class, unwind with a massage, or create your own rhythm with options like Flow & Glow, The Weekend Pamper, and our flexible class passes.

It’s a simple way to bring a little more balance, movement and rest into your time on the island — while still leaving space to explore, eat, swim and do your own thing.

A retreat-like experience, with more freedom.

Some experiences are simply better shared.

Over time, we’ve created a small collection of wellness gatherings designed for friends, visitors and teams who want to slow down together.

From The Pamper Gathering with movement, brunch and treatments, to our deeply restorative Sound Bath Gathering, Post-Flight Reset, and Koukoulee Day Retreat, each experience is designed to bring people together in a calm and beautiful setting overlooking the ocean.

They’ve become a lovely way to celebrate birthdays, welcome friends visiting Waiheke, organise a corporate wellbeing day, or simply carve out time to reconnect.

If you’re planning something special on the island, we’d love to help create a meaningful experience for your group.

🥰 Behind Koukoulee is a group of incredible women.

✨ The teachers and therapists who show up week after week to hold space for our community with knowledge, care, humour and heart. Each of them brings something unique — different paths, different strengths, different ways of supporting the people who walk through our doors.

🍃Running a small business can sometimes feel like a solo journey, but the truth is that spaces like Koukoulee are built by the people within them. These women have supported the studio — and me — through all the ups and downs of the past few years.

Watching them grow, share their gifts and become part of this community has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

As International Women’s Day approaches, I’m feeling especially grateful for this team and I’d love you to get to know them too 🤍

Gather your favourite people and step into a slower, more beautiful way to celebrate 🤍

Our private classes are designed around you — whether you’re planning a hens do, a birthday, a special occasion, or simply wanting to move together at a time that suits your group. In our light-filled studio overlooking the ocean, we tailor the style, pace and focus to match your energy on the day: grounding and restorative, gently strengthening, or softly flowing.

After class, linger a little longer with tea, conversation, and that unmistakable post-practice glow — unhurried, connected, and calm.

A thoughtful way to mark a milestone… or simply to be together.

Introducing our Prenatal Calm Ritual - a gentle cocoon of care for mums-to-be 🤍

Created especially for your changing body, this 60-minute ritual begins with soothing work through the head, neck and shoulders to release tension and settle your nervous system. It then flows into a slow, restorative facial massage using clean botanicals, finishing with a nurturing foot and leg massage to ease heaviness and support circulation.

This is not just a treatment - it’s time to be held, breathe deeply, and arrive back into yourself.

Bookings are open now.
