An oasis of calm and inspiration: discover our new Strohboid pavilion in Peli Kastri!
In the midst of Greece’s unspoilt nature, in a place dedicated to mindfulness and inner reflection, Peli Kastri has created a new space that touches the soul and can be used ALL YEAR ROUND. We are delighted to present our new Strohboid Pavilion – an architectural masterpiece that serves as our new meditation spot under the starry sky.
This pavilion is more than just a tent. It is the physical manifestation of our philosophy at Peli Kastri: living in harmony with nature, focusing on the essentials and creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. The decision to choose a pavilion from Strohboid was a conscious choice for sustainability, design and an atmosphere that invites guests to linger and reflect.

The perfect symbiosis: Why Strohboid and Peli Kastri belong together
Peli Kastri is a mindfulness centre founded by Elisabeth and Peter Riedl to offer people a retreat by the sea that focuses on their own mental and physical development. The beauty and tranquillity of the landscape are the cornerstones of the experience. We were looking for an extension to our facility that not only respects these values, but actively emphasises them.
We have found the ideal partner in Strohboid. The Austrian company shares our vision of sustainability and aesthetics. Strohboid pavilions are famous for their organic shape, which blends elegantly into the natural environment. True to the motto ‘Form Follows Nature’, the design mimics the flexibility and efficiency of natural structures.

A space that breathes: sustainability and design in harmony
The pavilion consists of a patented wooden lattice structure made from locally sourced and sustainably managed wood. This innovative material is not only environmentally friendly, but also surpasses steel in terms of stability. The translucent membrane roof allows natural light to flood into the space, creating a bright, inviting atmosphere that protects and connects with the outside world. It feels like sitting under a protective canopy of leaves, sheltered from the wind and weather, yet still surrounded by nature.
These characteristics make the pavilion the perfect place for our meditation and yoga sessions. Here, you can find yourself undisturbed, let your gaze wander over the sea and soak up the calming energy of this unique place.

From inner reflection to cinematic experience
But the pavilion is also a place of diversity. When the sun goes down and the stars begin to twinkle over the Aegean Sea, our place of tranquillity is transformed into an exclusive open-air cinema. Equipped with a modern projector, we offer the opportunity to enjoy films or presentations in an incomparable atmosphere.
Experience the difference in Peli Kastri
The new Strohboid Pavilion is another highlight that will make your stay at Peli Kastri unforgettable. It is proof that luxury, sustainability and a deep connection with nature can go hand in hand. It is a space created to inspire, calm and bring joy.
