RAKxa Integrative Wellness, a leading integrative wellness destination in Thailand, unveils a new series of exclusive seasonal Wellness Retreats at the idyllic Castelfalfi resort in Tuscany. Building on the success of RAKxa Wellness Spa’s launch at Castelfalfi in March 2024, these retreats offer a soul-enriching wellness journey infused with the beauty and essence of Tuscany’s alluring seasons.
The retreats, available year-round, have been meticulously curated to reflect the unique characteristics of each Tuscan season. Each programme aligns with RAKxa’s five interconnected pillars of wellness: Nutrition, Exercise, Stress Management, Rest and Restorative Treatment, guiding guests towards their health goals using RAKxa’s holistic and integrative approach, now brought to the heart of Tuscany.
Available from October 2024, RAKxa’s bespoke wellness packages at Castelfalfi invite guests to immerse themselves in the rich bounty of Tuscan nature. Each retreat draws inspiration from Castelfalfi’s rolling hills and natural healing energy, offering revitalizing seasonal experiences that include nature hikes, truffle hunting, and tastings from the vineyard or olive grove, depending on the season. Welcome wellness amenities—including essential oils to promote restful sleep and energising snacks to sustain them throughout the day—further enhance the experience.
Guests can choose from various retreat durations, tailored to suit their individual wellness needs: a one-day experience to enhance an existing stay, a two-day retreat for a deeper immersion, or a comprehensive four-day rebalance journey for a full wellness experience.
Each retreat programme, tailored to the length of stay, incorporates elements aligned with RAKxa’s Integrative Wellness Pillars to achieve wholeness, the state in which mind, body and lifestyle are harmoniously balanced. They include:
• Nutrition: While traditional Italian cuisine is a highlight in Tuscany, guests have the option to complement their wellness experience with RAKxa’s anti-inflammatory wellness cuisine. This menu features seasonal, locally-sourced produce crafted by Castelfalfi’s executive chef Davide De Simone.
• Exercise: Personalised workout sessions are available, designed to meet each guest’s specific fitness goals and elevate their overall wellness journey.
• Stress Management: Engage in local activities such as truffle hunting and olive oil tastings, all inspired by the season. These experiences provide a unique way to manage stress while connecting with Tuscany’s natural and cultural richness.
• Restorative Treatments: Enjoy a selection of 90-minute wellness treatments at the RAKxa Wellness Spa, created specifically to rebalance guests based on their individual health goals.
• Rest: Relax and recharge in the tranquil Tuscan countryside, with in-room wellness amenities to promote deep, restorative sleep. Essential oils and other thoughtful touches are provided to enhance relaxation and promote a serene sleep environment.
Personalised Wellness Itinerary: For those opting for the four-day retreat, a consultation with a RAKxa health and wellness advisor is available. This session helps to tailor a personalised wellness itinerary based on individual health goals, incorporating specific recommendations for food, exercise, and activities.
RAKxa’s seasonal Wellness Retreats at Castelfalfi promise an enriching blend of Tuscan charm and integrative wellness, offering an unparalleled opportunity to rebalance your well-being in one of the world’s most stunning locales.
