Host a retreat
Gather with purpose.
Some gatherings are about stepping away from everyday life. Others are about seeing it more clearly.
Whether you're hosting a leadership offsite, yoga retreat, coaching program, creative workshop, or writing week, Villa Solhyllan provides the space to slow down, focus, and reconnect. Free from the usual distractions, it's a place where people come together to learn, create, reflect, and grow.
The villa welcomes up to twelve guests and offers the flexibility of two independent living spaces, creating an intimate setting for meaningful work and shared experiences.
Our space, your imagination.
Yoga and movement retreats
Indoor and outdoor spaces for practice, movement, and rest. Begin the day with sunrise yoga on the terrace, gather beneath the trees, or move into the shaded spaces during the warmer hours.
Creative and writing retreats
Long tables for collaboration, quiet corners for reflection, and space to work at your own pace. Whether writing, creating, or simply thinking, the villa offers room for both focus and inspiration.
Leadership and personal growth
A setting designed for meaningful conversations and fresh perspectives. Gather the whole group outdoors, work in smaller circles, or find a quiet corner for coaching, reflection, and one-on-one discussions.
"When people step away from their routines, something new becomes possible."
How a week here might unfold.
One shape a retreat can take here. Yours may look completely different.
Day 1
Arrive and settle into the rhythm of the house. Explore the grounds, get to know one another, and gather for a welcome dinner beneath the pergola as the light softens over the hills.
Day 2
Begin with morning practice on the terrace. Long breakfasts, meaningful conversations, and space to arrive fully. An afternoon workshop, coaching session, or creative activity, followed by a shared dinner.
Day 3
Movement beneath the trees. Time for reflection, group discussions, learning sessions, or quiet work. An afternoon swim and dinner outdoors as the day comes to a close.
Day 4
A change of scenery. Hike the surrounding hills, enjoy a wine tasting at a local vineyard, visit a nearby village, or spend an afternoon by the sea. Gather again for dinner and evening conversation.
Day 5
A final full day together. Morning practice, meaningful conversations, and time to reflect on what the week has brought before sharing one last dinner beneath the stars.
Day 6
A final breakfast on the terrace. Time to reflect, connect, and leave with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and memories that linger beyond the retreat.
