Heavenly Massage

I had an absolutely very nice massage with Tomas. His amazing energy made me feel like I was floating afterward. It was definitely a highlight of my stay, providing the perfect relaxation after a day of activities!

Invigorating Yoga

Morning yoga with Michelle was a good way to start each day. Each session was tailored to our group's level, making it accessible and invigorating. I absolutely loved the view while practicing on the deck!

Delicious Farm-to-Table

The food here is amazing! Every meal felt thoughtfully crafted, with fresh ingredients sourced from their own farm. The vegetarian dishes were so good that I didn't miss meat at all. Chef Marvin packed us a delicious 'happy meal' when we ventured out!
