Travel & Hospitality Awards - Europe 2022

Sometimes the best holidays are the ones where you simply get away from the hustle of modern life
and retreat into the country. Essentially, it’s about taking time to concentrate on your own wellbeing,
experiencing positive discomfort, or even immersing yourself within a unique culture. There’s adventure,
serenity, and so much more to be had on a country retreat.

COUNTRY
RETREATS
What Makes a Good Country Retreat?
Being packed into a city with millions of other people isn’t
always a recipe for rest and relaxation. Unless you’re already
lucky enough to live in the countryside, you probably long
for quiet stretches of green far from the hustle of urban life.
Luckily, the restorative effects that come from time spent in
nature are usually only hours away from home.
Turning off your phone, leaving your meetings and
appointments behind, and stepping out into a completely
natural world for a few days is something that more of us
need to do. A European country retreat sounds like just the
way for you to complete a digital detox.
Mountain
The majesty of the mountains, the freshest air you’ve ever
tasted, and views that seem to stretch forever… Time spent in
the mountains is never wasted, so a retreat to high altitudes
is a popular way to recharge.
Whether you’re looking to ski down a mountain, hike up one,
or simply marvel at its beauty with a drink in your hand, it’s
one of our favourite ways to leave ordinary life
behind.
One of the most astonishing
retreats we’ve found is the
Karun Edition Luxury
Chalets. It’s a series
of wonderful rustic
chalets nestled in
the mountain town
of Kaprun. Decked
out with luxurious
amenities, hot tubs,
and stunning views
right on the doorstep,
we can’t think of a better
way to relax.
