INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
Ah yes! This is what it feels like when you find your inner self again. In everyday life, we often get lost in work or other distractions and forget to be mindful of ourselves. But there are places that can help you to embark on this powerful journey again. For example, the four-star Hotel Alpin Juwel - a gem with a holistic detox retreat.
In the 1940s, a small yet influential movement emerged in sunny California: the Nature Boys. Inspired by a return to nature, alternative lifestyles, and philosophical currents from East and West, they lived a way of life that can be seen as the precursor to the hippie movement. Who were these pioneers of mindfulness and self-sufficiency, and what impact did they have on society?
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, surrounded by cypress trees and olive groves, lies Villa Giuncheto – a sanctuary of tranquility and inspiration. Here, the Clayground Retreat takes place, offering a unique experience that blends art, mindfulness, and nature.

The goal is not to create a perfect piece of art, but to fully experience the moment – with hands, heart, and all the senses.
You can't see it, but you can feel it - especially when it's as pure as here in Aschau im Chiemgau, a small town in Bavaria where the exceptional quality of the air has even been proven to be good. The Agrad Chaletdorf is located on the outskirts of the idyllic climatic health resort in a landscape that lets you breathe a sigh of relief.
Berlin-Charlottenburg has undergone a fascinating transformation in recent years: once known as a bourgeois district, a creative and cosmopolitan scene has emerged around Kantstraße.

Located in a tranquil riverside neighborhood at the heart of Kyoto, GENJI Kyoto is a contemporary interpretation of Machiya townhouses, marrying traditional concepts with modern amenities. Inspired by the Japanese masterpiece Tale of Genji, the story of which took place in the vicinity, the hotel’s designers took motifs from the novel to create a wabi sabi world of beauty and harmony.
If you want to spell the Alfa Hotel, you might find more suitable words than Andrew, Lucy and Frederick - words that capture the feeling of this special place: A for alpine, L for letting go, F for finesse and A for a time out. All of this reflects in the spa area of the four-star hotel in Serfaus, which recently added an outdoor relaxation pool to provide even more space for relaxation.
