Our Beautiful Retreat Venue in Hoi An Blossoms into Being

Dear Friends,

The past two weeks have disappeared in a blur of ‘doing’ as we’ve been preparing the villa ready to open at the beginning of July! We have been promising photographs, and we’re thrilled to share a selection of ‘the details’ – room photographs will follow soon, we promise!

Last night, we welcomed a group of friends from Hoi An for the first time! After a tour of the villa and yoga sala, we enjoyed a wonderful evening of laughter, excitement, fruit and iced-tea, followed by a grounding sound bath in the meditation space. It was an incredibly moving experience to finally see the villa brought to life and used for the first time in the way we’ve envisioned for so long. We look forward to many more.

Gratitude to Geoff Rogers for these wonderful photographs, and to Kerstin Pilz for guiding us all into a grounded space at the beginning and end of the sound bowl meditation.

With gratitude and love,
