“Tucked away on a hilltop just outside town, this adults-only retreat emphasizes tranquility and connection with nature. I was particularly drawn to the absence of televisions in the rooms and the focus on wellness through yoga and meditation. The cultural events focused on spirituality and the arts also struck me as a unique offering.”
