Built using mostly local wood and stone, the two luxurious accommodation options – The Ranch Estate & The Barn – are spacious and airy, with generous bedrooms and bathrooms and a variety of living spaces. As the number of guests staying at the retreat at the same time is limited, the service is caring, attentive and thoughtful. Guests can choose to eat plant-based meals prepared by the chef or even cook their own meals in the fully equipped kitchen using the organic fresh produce from the gardens.

“It is a deeply grounding experience to literally get your hands dirty to grow the produce for your evening meal. You get to appreciate the entire process, making it a not only wholesome, but also mindful experience”, says Elisabeth Ixmeier, Co-Founder of Healing Hotels of the World. 

NewTree Ranch offers short- and long-term stays throughout the year. Guests can enjoy forest bathing, meditation or sound journeys, and treatments in a Japanese Tea Garden or an Outdoor Luxury Tent. Besides the therapies and treatments, the Farm Stay also offers activities like flower arranging, canoe and paddle boarding on the lake, farming and tea-making.

One of the most popular retreats is the Restorative Farm Stay, which offers a full program designed to help you slow down, live mindfully and find a deeper connection to the natural world.

Anne Biging, Co-Founder of Healing Hotels of the World, recommends: “Quiet your heart space by exploring the beautiful surroundings or by tending bees or planting trees”.
