INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
Some places have a memory. The 1477 Reichhalter in Lana is one of them. First mentioned over 500 years ago, it has lived many lives: as an inn, a sawmill, a mill, and a butcher’s shop. Then, for a decade, silence. Its doors remained closed while life passed by until someone took a closer look, and brought it back to life.
With the very first "Servus," you can feel it: the genuine, down-to-earth, and warm-hearted Bavarian soul. But what happens when traditional dialect meets modern design? The answer lies in the Agrad Chalets on the edge of Aschau im Chiemgau region, where things are truly cozy and feel just right. And because the way people speak says a lot about their way of life, we want to introduce the chalet village using the very words you're likely to hear around here.
The old house on the church square has stood for centuries. Its oldest parts date back to 1661—a date engraved into the intricately carved beams of the parlour. Today, this historic building is home to Refugium Lunz, a guesthouse revived by the creative minds behind FORMDEPOT—partners known for breathing new life into old architecture. The house looks back with respect and forward with care.
Those who find themselves surrounded by greenery often feel it instinctively: this is where I belong. As the harmonious center of the color spectrum, green unites the calming power of blue with the energy of yellow. It symbolizes nature, soothes the mind, and at the same time inspires inner growth. If longevity had a color, it would likely be green.
High above Souda Bay, a new sanctuary rises. The JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa by Block722 blends raw Mediterranean beauty with timeless simplicity, creating a place where architecture becomes a mindful bridge between land, sea, and soul.
Saluting the sun comes naturally at Puradies – the high plateau is one of the sunniest places in Leogang. Yoga is just one of the many heavenly activities you’ll find here. It not only stretches and strengthens the body, but also lifts the soul to new heights, which comes as no surprise, being this close to paradise.
