Luberon, Himalayas, Peloponnese. three new retreats to “restore” your body

The Zen Bastide in the Luberon

Dried eucalyptus branches in soliflores, vintage herbariums on the wall, Suzanne Kaufman’s Herbal Treats in the bathroom and a spa treatment with On The Wild Side products. an explosive natural aroma floats in the room. Bastide du Mourre (1), the latest addition to the Domaines de Fontenille group. A wild way to find oneself and breathe, this is the project of this new address dedicated to well-being, a small village composed of a 17th century bastick.^e century on a hill overlooking Oppède-le-Vieux. Facing this vast landscape, the 5-bedroom, 5-bedroom house with pool offers personalized programs combining sports, yoga, hiking, naturopathy, foot reflexology or healthy eating. At the spa, we offer a restorative massage with peppermint and peppermint essential oils, a fine sand scrub, or a green tea and rosemary draining wrap. At the table, the chef supports neighboring farmers and winemakers in the Luberon and maintains a vegetarian menu, mixing beetroot hummus, delicious herb mousse garnished with flowers or celery…

Cocoon at the foothills of the Himalayas

Set in 21 hectares of forest, Vana (2) has been a rather strict retreat since 2014, more secluded ashram than warm resort, near the northern Indian city of Dehradun. Integrated into the family of six senses, Vana is now a haven of peace that promotes spiritual relaxation. Upon arrival at this 5-star oasis, the architecture sets the tone; raw lines, large uncluttered areas and neutral colors contribute to the disconnect. Then you put on your white cotton pajamas and follow spa treatments and traditional medicine for at least 5 days. The difference with the clinic. There are no strict rules here, everyone is free to choose their program (weight, sleep, detox, yoga, etc.) and their food in one of the two restaurants. Tibetan treatment Sowa Rigpa, acupuncture, reflexology, water shiatsu (watsu), a cooking workshop and even an outdoor movie night… A unique retreat!

An absolute treasure in Greece

Its name, Euphoria Retreat, is already a promise. The creator of the place, Marina Efraimoglu, wanted a unique place that would offer special programs (from 3 days) in the heart of a private pine forest overlooking the city of Mystra in the Peloponnese. The (magnificent) scene is set, all that remains is to reach the goal of the personal journey; redefine the balance between body and mind. Using Byzantine elements such as arches and arcades, the architecture also incorporates many frames and feng shui elements. Covering 3,500m² in the basement, the spa spans 4 levels, including 25m water platforms with a spiral staircase, a spherical pool under stone arches and a watsu pool. Test yourself in front of a Byzantine hammam or an infrared sauna.
