ABOUT GHENT AND KORTRIJK

There is something palpable about Belgian’s Medieval city of Ghent, and even though it’s not as popular as Brussels or Antwerp it is a definite contender amongst places to visit in Europe. As one of Belgium’s oldest cities, Ghent has a rich history seeped in various trade around the Middle Ages.

Today traveling to Ghent almost feels like discovering a secret. Its stunning Gothic buildings are mixed in with street art, waterfront cafes, and the Castle of the count.

Kortrijk combines the allure of a big city with small-town cosiness. In previous times, the Leie river was of vital importance to the city’s flax industry. These days that same river mainly adds picturesque appeal, which you’ll quickly notice as we glide along our 4 hour boat trip with a lovely lunch spot on the way. The downtown area is a vibrant mix of ancient heritage, modern architecture and boundless creativity.

You’ll be staying in a historic Belgian villa just 15 minutes from the city center of Ghent, Belgium. The villa is equipped with all modern amenities, a natural pool, sauna, and wellness garden.

Spent your time hanging out in the comfortable common spaces, or find solitude in the many cozy nooks of the house.

Rooms are shared rooms, with comfortable beds, and well-thought out design elements that will surely bring you to a peaceful slumber for all the adventure that lies ahead.

YOGA + WELLNESS

Yoga will be offered once a day either in the morning or the afternoon depending on the day and will be a mix between restorative, slow flow, and power yoga taught to all-levels.
