Corfu Buddha Hall

Buddha Hall is a beautiful, purpose-built group space, available for group events, workshops and retreats that relate to spiritual growth and personal development. It is located on the edge of a small, inland hill village called Magoulades, in a stunning setting, on top of a hill, set amongst olive groves and cypress trees, few kms from a choice of beautiful beaches.

The Hall is a very large space, capable of seating 200 people for a concert and over 100 people for a workshop. However, such is the “holding” nature of the space, it also works well for smaller groups. The Hall is a building of 200 square meters, with a wooden floor and pagoda style wooden roof. There are no obstructing pillars in the hall. The walls have windows all round with 360 degree views of the mountains, forest and sea.The windows and doors all have blinds.

OUTDOOR PLATFORM “THE EGG”:

During 2020 lockdown we felt the call and the inspiration to build an outdoor platform and so we did!! The Egg is a beautiful in nature oval platform of 120 square meters in the garden of Buddha Hall. It has its own sound system and supplies, and it is at private use of the Retreat happening in that moment at Buddha Hall. Basically, you can choose to be indoor or outdoor everyday.

Food for body & soul

It’s no coincidence that the Corfu Buddha Hall kitchen resides directly below the Hall itself. In essence, it’s the meeting point between the heart and hearth spaces. We understand how important it is for our guests to eat well and feel nourished as they enter into deep meditative processes. Each week a new group arrives with its own unique structures, energies and needs. Being below the Hall allows us to feel our way through the week, taking into account the weather, group energy and other circumstances that help us in preparing daily meals.

Our guests can expect to enjoy an abundant vegetarian meal, using seasonal and often organically grown vegetables from local farms. Our goal is to create delicious, nutritious, and visually pleasing menus, which include at least five different colors and three different textures in every meal. We also strive to do this without using any processed, packaged or genetically modified foods.

And though we are in Greece with its pantheon of aromas and flavors, we choose to take our guests on a culinary trip around the world to enjoy feasts from Asia, South America, Africa and of course Europe.

We generally use very little wheat and dairy products but when we do, we make sure everything is labeled. If you have any serious food allergies, please present yourself to one of our kitchen staff and they will take good care of you.
