I am thrilled to be offering a Summer Retreat in the heart of the Dolomites, a world UNESCO site. As always with my retreats, the core intention is to enjoy life, connection, beauty and culture! And an equally as important focus of our time together on this trip will be on health and self-care, creating an atmosphere of inspiration, rejuvenation, and relaxation.
We will immerse ourselves in the unparalleled beauty of this stunning landscape, enjoying nature walks and hikes that connect us with the environment. After each day of exploration, you will have the opportunity to unwind and be pampered in the expansive spa of our sustainable, luxury hotel, designed to elevate your sense of well-being and tranquility. We will sprinkle a few yin vinyasa yoga classes, which will be good support to the walking. We will also have the chance to visit 2 towns in the local area, enjoying the northern Italian specialties including Michelin Star restaurants and lunch at a 2100 meter high restaurant. This is a retreat that will feed your soul!
Accomodations
We will be staying at a luxury sustainable resort in the Dolomites for this retreat, which is renowned for its stunning natural surroundings and commitment to wellness. Nestled amidst the breathtaking peaks and surrounded by the enchanting towns of Pinzolo and Madonna di Campiglio, the resort offers a tranquil environment that encourages relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests will enjoy a variety of amenities, including luxurious spa treatments, gourmet dining, and extensive hiking trails that showcase the region's beauty. The focus on sustainability and organic practices at the resort enhances the overall experience, making it an ideal setting for reflection and personal growth during our time together.
This eco-sustainable resort, renowned for its holistic wellness approach, features a 5,000 sqm comprehensive spa experience that integrates traditional therapies with modern techniques. This is a universe of elements in different spaces: the indoor sports pool covered in tonalite stands out from the brilliant reflections created by the colours of the light granite, while the indoor and outdoor pool blends in with the landscape. The aquatic area is completed by a large whirlpool that recalls ancient spas, epicentre of the SPA Method energetic path. Finally, the mineral dimension can be found in the salt-water lake and the salt grotto.

We will participate in at least 3 hikes in the local area that will be moderate (beginner level available as well) in difficulty.

3 spa treatments including special massages and body treatments
