Serenity Escapes new mountain retreat holiday has all the right ingredients for a restorative getaway with Cryotherapy, meditation and yoga all included. Prices start from £999 per person for a three-night/four-day trip staying at the mountainside four-star Hotel Sliezsky Dom in a double room (with single occupancy and no single supplements) with flights from six UK airports (Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick, Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh) and transfers, departing 4th October 2018 and 17th January 2019.
Cryotherapy, an extreme cold treatment that sees guests briefly plunged into an ice cold chamber, offers huge health benefits. Favoured by Victoria’s Secret models and celebrities such as Daniel Craig and Lindsay Lohan; it’s also popular with top footballers and athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo and Mo Farrah who use it as part of their regimes to speed recovery, reduce injuries, increase energy and improve sleep. The technology works by decreasing cell growth (cellular metabolism), inflammation and pain and by boosting cell survival. The -150°C treatment blast, reduces the skin temperature to around five degrees Celsius, triggering the release of endorphins and inducing the body’s natural pain relief system.
Pitched at beginner and intermediate level, Serenity Escapes’ Mountain Yoga and Cryo Escape includes one cryotherapy session and a post treatment and kinesiotherapy class led by a physiotherapist; plus two daily 75-minute yoga classes. These comprise a dynamic morning ‘wake-up’ plus a more relaxing afternoon session. Tutored by an expert yoga professional with specific one-to-one consultation, the tuition focuses on physical postures for well-being, strength, flexibility and relaxation.
The short break package also features a guided walking adventure in the mountains, daily alfresco meditation surrounded by mountains, waterfalls and lakes and the use of the hotel’s extensive spa facilities. Return flights to Krakow from six UK airports, transfers and full board accommodation at Hotel Sliezsky Dom are also included.
Perfectly located for breathing in the fresh mountain air, the hotel sits directly under Gerlach, the highest mountain summit in Slovakia. Sensitive to its long history, which dates back to 1871, the recently modernised hotel retains a welcoming mountain retreat vibe. Its 44 rooms and suites offer a simple, contemporary look with an alpine-style light wood interior; while its restaurant serves a lighter version of traditional Slovak cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, local produce and healthy eating. The hotel also has a great bar for evening drinks and a wellness centre with saunas, Jacuzzi, steam, treatment and relaxation rooms complete with floor to ceiling vistas.
For luxe-lovers, Serenity Escapes’ Luxury Yoga and Cyro Escape departs on 24 October and starts from £1199 per person and includes all the above, with half board accommodation at the Grand Hotel Kempinski.
