Smådalarö retreat – 19-20 of march
On March 19-20, in a magical time when spring is approaching, we invite you to come with us to a beautifully newly renovated Smådalarö Gård Hotell & SPA for a relaxing and inspiring training weekend with only 12 participants.
All you have to do is secure your place, and let us take care of you!
The event is led by SPC & Remedy’s Amelie Parchami, Carita Lesche and Marianne Själander and will be packed with Pilates & Garuda training, relaxing soundhealing and tranquil activities.
After our workouts, we unwind in the hotel’s fantastic SPA, which is designed for relaxation and recovery – located in a natural environment where the boundaries between inside and outside seem to have been blurred.
The spa extends into nature with a park and several spa terraces, where you will find both sun beds, seating areas, outdoor shower and yoga terrace.
In the hotel’s four pools, which are both outdoors and indoors, you can enjoy different experiences during all seasons of the year. Find your favorite among several different sauna rooms, archipelago showers, comfortable foot baths and relax with a good drink from the Spa bar in the spa lounge or in the peaceful and cozy fire room.
This time we will also get access to the private sauna by the sea. Why not take the opportunity to take the first sea bath of the year and finish in the sauna followed by a relaxing SPA moment.
All rooms are located in the newly renovated hotel part and we train and meditate indoors in the hotel’s yoga studio, in the beautiful hall Verket, and when the weather allows outdoors on the yoga terrace.
Our trainers will explain and show the basics of Pilates and Garuda and make sure that both beginners as well as the more experienced get the most out of the training classes.
Between our workouts and activities, we are served morning and afternoon coffee-smoothies, healthy snacks and fruit.
We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the relaxing atmosphere in the dining room, at the orangery next door, or if the weather allows at a table on the terrace or stone terrace overlooking the bay.
For those who want, there is the opportunity to pre-book SPA treatments and to extend their hotel stay.
In the surroundings around the hotel there are plenty of activities such as water sports, golf, tennis, paddle and the possibility of boat excursions to other beautiful archipelago islands such as Kymendö, Ornö and Fjärdlång,
