Holistic Retreat in Albota

Discover the experience you're missing right now, and every detail will bring you closer to the state of well-being and balance you seek.

Create a Life-Changing Retreat

If you want to offer more than just a simple getaway, if you feel the time has come to make a real contribution to people’s lives, Albota is the place where your vision becomes reality.

Because we know how it feels:

Searching for a space that reflects your values, but coming up against rigidity and compromises.
Wanting an authentic natural setting, but finding only commercial, crowded or soulless locations.
Feeling that people need healing, connection and meaning, but not finding the right place in which to create the ideal context for that.

At Albota, a living, welcoming and energetically clean space awaits you, harmoniously blending comfort with nature, tranquility with modern facilities, and all this is supported by a team that deeply understands what an authentic retreat means.

You create the experience. We give you the space.

The location is surrounded by mountains, green forest and clear waters. The cottages and rooms are built of natural materials with warm and welcoming details. Every corner is designed for tranquility, introspection and reconnection.

At your disposal:

Spacious terraces overlooking nature – perfect for yoga, meditation or just meaningful conversation.
Flexible and bright work rooms – ideal for workshops, conscious breathing, group therapy or intuitive writing.
Relaxation areas, sauna, swimming pool and spa facilities – so that your participants can completely release tension.

Kitchen that supports personalized menus: detox, vegetarian, vegan, intuitive. All with fresh, local ingredients.

It's the place where people say, "I've finally found myself."

The organizers who chose us say the same thing: here, people leave transformed. Not just because we offered them beautiful landscapes or good accommodation, but because they felt supported, seen and safe. You know how important this feeling is because you are looking for it too – a place where what you offer is received as it deserves.

Whether you are organizing a retreat for:

mindfulness,
yoga,
detox and conscious nutrition,
personal or spiritual development,
movement or writing therapy,

…Albota provides you with everything you need to deliver a profound experience that leaves a good mark in the souls of those who participate.

The Right Space For Your Vision

You have a concept, a method, an energy you want to share. But you also have a concrete, aching need: where can you really do it?

Albota is not about rigid rules or standard packages. It’s about supporting your vision and helping you turn it into a memorable experience for you and your group.

What does "the right space" actually mean?

It means true tranquility, not just an out-of-town location. Here, the mountains silently watch, the waters flow smoothly in the background, and the air is as fresh as a new promise. It is the stillness that sustains your meditation sessions, your breathing workshops, your moments of introspection.
It means openness and flexibility. Whether you want to set up a sunrise yoga terrace, a room for discussion circles or an outdoor area for rituals, you’ll find adaptable spaces designed to accommodate the energy of the group, not constrain it.
It means good energy. The space is clean, alive, warm. You feel no rush, pressure or noise. You feel like you can really stop and breathe. And your participants will feel it too, from the first moment.

What can you find in Albota?

Nature-integrated accommodation – cozy rooms with rustic details and views that calm your mind before you close your eyes.

Spacious and bright rooms – ideal for yoga, guided meditation, creative workshops or personal development sessions. Wooden floors, natural light, welcoming atmosphere.

Terraces and outdoor spaces – for fresh air movement, group practices, campfires or simply for quiet moments with a cup of tea in your hand and gazing into the greenery.

Adaptable cuisine – whether you need a detox, vegan, vegetarian or intuitive menu, our team works with fresh ingredients, many sourced locally, and cooks with kindness.

Spa area – sauna, swimming pool, massages. The perfect space to release physical and energetic tension. An ideal addition to your program.

Here, space does not impose a program. It supports your intention.

When you come to Albota as an organizer, you don’t come to “rent a location”. You come to create. To guide. To leave your mark. And we understand that. We know how valuable every detail is – from the way the hall is laid out, to the way people are greeted on arrival.

Albota is your secure foundation, that “temporary home” where you can bring people to show them that it is possible to live differently – more conscious, simpler, more present.

A Trusted Partner for Organizers

When you organize a retreat, you don’t just book rooms and plan meals. You create a space where people come with hopes, with fears, with a desire for change. You guide the way. But in order to truly support them, you need support yourself.

You need a partner. Not just a supplier.

At Albota, we come to you as an extension of your vision. We care about the success of your event because we understand how personal what you do is. Here, the organizers are not clients. They are collaborators. They are part of the family.

How do we support you concretely?

Impeccable logistics, no hassle

We take care of the technical details so that you can focus on what matters: the people and the experience you provide. Whether you need special arrangements, equipment, flexible scheduling or customized setups – we do everything we can to make it perfect for you.

Flexibility in menu and program

Let us know what kind of diet suits your retreat – detox, vegan, intuitive, plant-based, blended – and we’ll cook according to your requirements, with fresh, local produce, and lots of care for energy and digestion.

Spaces that suit your group

From workrooms with natural light and hardwood floors, to terraces open to the mountains and outdoor work areas – every space can be configured to support exactly what you have planned. You have total freedom in the unfolding.

An empathetic team that understands the dynamics of a retreat

You don’t have to explain why you need silence at 7 o’clock in the morning or why sometimes participants want to be silent. We know. We have lived the experience with other organizers and we understand how important it is that everything runs smoothly and without interruptions or tensions.

Support in communication and promotion

If you need visual materials, texts, layouts for your event or simply a helping hand in structuring your proposal, we can also collaborate on the promotional side. We want it to work for you. And we want the right people to know about what you’re doing.

Choose a Frame That Amplifies Your Message

You worked hard on the program. You thought carefully about each session. You put your heart into the structure of the retreat and carefully chose every exercise, every guided breath, every moment of silence. You invested in yourself, in your training, in your experience.

All that’s missing is that setting that not only hosts your retreat, but truly supports it. Amplify its message. Make it memorable.

We know how hard it is to find a place that speaks the same language as your energy.

You’ve been to beautiful but cold places.
In clean but impersonal spaces.
In places that look good in pictures, but don’t feel, don’t support, don’t get involved.

But at a retreat, it’s not just your words that count. It’s what a man feels when he opens the window in the morning. When he walks barefoot on the grass. When he gazes silently at the sky.
It matters how the place feels. And above all: it matters whether that place supports or dilutes what you are trying to convey.

At Albota, every detail supports what you want to create.

The landscapes – natural, uncosmetized, authentic. Mountains surround the area like a hug. The nearby lake reflects the sky and soothes the mind. The forest starts right at the edge of the location – and the chirping of birds will accompany your meditation sessions without having to box it in.

Atmosphere – it’s simple, calm, no urban noise, no cars, no stress. It is the space where your participants will really breathe. Whether you are organizing a spiritual retreat, an emotional detox program, a women’s reconnection workshop or a conscious leadership workshop, this is where your message will be felt more deeply.

The energy – it’s gentle, open and friendly. It’s the kind of place where people feel at home without knowing why. Where they can more easily let go of masks, phones, roles. Because the environment invites vulnerability and truth.

The details are carefully chosen: the rooms have natural light, wooden floors, fresh air. There are places to sit, to introspect, to connect. Nothing is ostentatious, everything is functional and warm. It’s not artificial luxury, it’s genuine comfort.

Your message deserves to be lived, not just heard.

When you choose the right place, your words have more impact, the exercises feel deeper, emotions flow more easily. Participants open up faster, understand more clearly, feel more supported. And yes, you feel more confident, more relaxed, more centered – because you know you have the ideal framework that carries your vision forward.

Albota is that place.

Don’t shout. Don’t force impress. It doesn’t charge.
But it holds you. It sustains you. It multiplies your intent and turns your retreat into an unforgettable experience.

Choose a place that feels like you. Choose a setting that carries on what you want to leave behind. Choose Albota.

For organizers who want to create impact

Your retreat is not just an event. It is a sacred space. A window to transformation. It is that rare moment when one allows oneself to stop running, to listen, to really look at oneself.

And you’re not just an organizer. You’re a guide. Facilitator. You inspire. You create contexts in which people can see themselves again. That’s what impact is all about.
And to truly support this mission, you need a place that is your ally, not an obstacle.

Obstacles that may appear:

The chosen location does not understand the depth of what you do
Logistics eats your energy instead of sustaining you
Each requirement is seen as a whim, not as an essential need for group dynamics
The atmosphere is “right”, but not vibrant, present, alive

At Albota, we know the difference between a simple retreat and one that changes lives. And we want to be a trusted partner to those who want to create more than just a beautiful program – but an experience that stays with people long after they return home.

Albota is that fertile ground where your ideas can take root and flourish. A place that doesn’t ask you to explain yourself, but understands you right away.

A place that sustains your energy. That respects your rhythm. That recognizes your role. And that helps you to deliver a real, profound, transformative experience – just the way you wanted.

Think long-term

You know that a good retreat doesn’t end when the participants leave. Its energy continues to work in souls, in decisions, in relationships, in the way people relate to everyday life.

But even you, as an organizer, know that one edition is not everything.

You need continuity. Visibility. Stability. Room to grow.
You need a place you can return to with confidence, to build a community and not start from scratch every time.

At Albota, we encourage you to look beyond today’s event. To build for the long term. To be part of an ecosystem where retreats are not just one-off projects, but annual milestones. Experiences that come back, that grow, that create real connections between people.

Albota is your growing partner.

We offer open calendar for advance planning, so you can book your ideal time in advance – be it for spring, summer, fall or even special winter retreats.

You can create a series of recurring retreats – monthly, seasonally or yearly – so that your participants come back, evolve, carry on what they started with you.

We build relationships, not contracts. If you feel that you want to become part of a community of organizers who create with meaning, here you will find a trusted framework you can rely on. Not just once. Not just for now.

You are free to make your mark. Our location can be adapted and customized – from the rooms in which you hold your workshops, to the decor, to the menus or program. With each edition, Albota becomes more and more “home” for your retreat.

For visionary organizers, who patiently build on values.

If you, too, feel that what you offer is worth more than a single edition…
If you feel that you have a long-term mission, not just a one-off event…
Then think strategically. Choose a partner who believes in you and invests in your success, not just today’s booking.

Let’s talk about your plans. Albota is here not only for what you want to do now – but also for what you want to become your signature in 1, 2 or 5 years.

Let’s build together!

Albota is not just a location – it’s an authentic retreat where organizers like you can create experiences that matter. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll help you make it a reality.

Create, inspire, guide.
We make sure everything works around your vision.

"Fantastic fresh fish. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Lots to do around the place too - 2 playgrounds for the little ones, you can catch your own fish and enjoy the open surroundings."

"I highly recommend this place, it's a refreshing retreat with fresh mountain air and a beautiful view of nature and the mountains, plus the food is very good and is made from high quality fresh ingredients."
