Specially Curated Vacation Retreats by Choose Happiness Adventures Retreats

Our greatest concern when developing a specially curated retreat at CHAretreats is to have people wowed by their experiences while with us. Because of this, we pay special attention to every detail of each of our retreats.

We make arrangements for a local chef to prepare our dinners. With the help of our liaison, the services of a local photographer are scheduled to provide us with photos of our offerings.

Finally, we organize special excursions that will delight every taste. And we arrange for the services of local massage therapists for our guest’s relaxation.

Why Choose Our Specially Curated Vacation Retreats?

Choose Happiness Adventures offers curated retreats especially designed and held at glorious locations within Europe and other destinations!

As a result, CHAretreats curated vacation retreats are an escape from day-to-day life blending good living with good health. Our villas are located in the countryside. You will appreciate the local culture, wine, nature, and yoga (only if you desire)—all wrapped in classic luxury!

Because of our dedication to quality, the choice of our venues enables you to unwind and appreciate the silence of the natural surroundings from the comfort of luxurious accommodations.  You may practice meditation and yoga in the morning if you wish, and then relax in the villa, or enjoy the outdoor space alone or chatting with others while enjoying a glass of wine; whatever you choose you will have no shortage of things to do, places to see, or ways to relax.

Since each retreat is chock full of wonderful events, you will not have a loss of things to do. In addition to the optional daily Meditation and Yoga classes, there will be ample opportunity for you to sample the country’s fine cuisine and table wines.  There will be time for you to explore the region on your own and visit nearby sites with the group. We schedule several side trips during all of our retreats.

Every specially curated vacation retreat we offer will be a week that will remain in your memory forever!
