Home · Contact · List your business About this listing Secret Forest Spa is a unique adult-only retreat situated in the mountains of Cyprus, specifically within the picturesque village of Miliou in the Paphos district. Positioned in the heart of a lush forest and surrounded by nature reserves, this establishment serves as a sanctuary for those looking to disconnect from the pressures of modern life. The property focuses on holistic wellness, utilizing the natural environment and local hot springs to facilitate physical and spiritual renewal.
Whether visiting during a specific holiday like Pesach or for a quiet getaway during the winter or summer months, guests find a space dedicated to tranquility. The crisp mountain air and the presence of sparkling rivers create a serene backdrop for a resort that prioritizes healthy living and mindful relaxation. With its year-round availability, the Secret Forest Spa offers a consistent destination for the Jewish traveler seeking a kosher-certified wellness experience in the Mediterranean.
About the area Located in Miliou, a small village known for its healing sulfur springs and citrus groves, the Secret Forest Spa sits approximately mid-way between the city of Paphos and the coastal town of Polis. This region of Cyprus is characterized by its rolling hills and traditional architecture, providing a distinct contrast to the busy beach resorts of the southern coast. The altitude ensures a cooler, more temperate climate, which is particularly refreshing during the peak summer months.
For the observant traveler, the Jewish community in Cyprus, led by the Chabad of Cyprus in Larnaca, has established a strong presence on the island over the years. While Miliou is a secluded mountain location, the broader Paphos area is reachable for those needing to connect with the wider Jewish infrastructure in Cyprus. The resort itself provides the necessary religious amenities, making it a self-contained haven within the Cypriot wilderness.
Nearby Jewish landmarks The surrounding Paphos region offers a wealth of exploration for those who wish to venture beyond the spa's serene boundaries. Nature enthusiasts can visit the nearby Akamas Peninsula National Park, a protected area known for its rugged coastline, hidden lagoons, and diverse flora. The Troodos Mountains are also within driving distance, providing scenic trails and traditional stone villages that maintain the authentic Cypriot way of life.
For history and culture, the city of Paphos—a UNESCO World Heritage site—is home to the Tombs of the Kings and the Paphos Mosaics. While the Secret Forest is a secluded retreat, the infrastructure of Cyprus allows for convenient day trips to these archaeological landmarks, followed by a return to the quietude of the mountains by sunset.
What to expect Guests at Secret Forest Spa can expect an immersive wellness experience centered on the concept of "pescatarian" fine dining. The culinary program follows a dairy and fish-based menu, emphasizing farm-to-table ingredients sourced locally and from across Europe. Under the strict kashrut supervision of Rav Yoel Kaplan, the hotel provides three healthy, rich meals a day, ensuring that dietary requirements are met without compromising on gourmet quality or nutritional value.
In addition to the culinary offerings, the resort is fully equipped to support a religious lifestyle. A synagogue is available on-site for Shabbat and holiday services, and traditional elements such as Kiddush and candle lighting are integrated into the guest experience. Beyond the ritual, the focus remains on the spa facilities, where natural hot springs and therapeutic treatments help guests recharge their emotional and physical batteries. The atmosphere remains quiet and contemplative, aided by the adult-only policy that ensures a peaceful environment throughout the stay.
