Sowilo Retreat - Wellness & Spa

Like other reviewers, my husband and I found this resort to be a gem. An incredible retreat in the woods surrounded by beauty and serenity. The hosts are warm and inviting, and provide such a wonderful place to getaway. We stayed for two nights in the tiny house, Maple. The small space was clean, cozy and well-stocked. Aromatherapy greeted us as we walked in, the heat was on, and every soft surface had comfortable blankets and pillows nearby. The end table doubled as a Bluetooth speaker, there was lots of tea, coffee and water to choose from, and if we wanted to cook, they had spices and olive oil ready to go. I truly feel they thought of all the details to make your stay as homey as possible. Although tiny, the layout was not cramped. Great for 2 adults. We took advantage of purchasing their hour Nordic circuit, which included time in their custom built sauna, as well as time in their custom salt and infrared therapy room. Well-worth doing every day you're there. We also booked a sound bath (our first one), and found it was the perfect way to end a day. You can use the same space for meditation on your own or a light work out. They provide hand weights, straps, mats, blocks, and other equipment. Very well stocked. I wish I could have taken more advantage of it. Surprisingly, one of our favorite things was being in the main dining hall for meals. The aesthetic gives off a vibrant, yet soothing effect. Plants, photography and warm wood cover the space. The fire was roaring each time we stepped in, and the music made it feel inviting. Our host and hostesses are incredible chefs. They grow their own herbs indoors, and have delicious, flavorful selections for breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend the acai bowl, but you cannot go wrong. They also have two dachshunds who graced the space and brought smiles to our faces. We really needed this weekend away, and cannot thank the Sandor family enough for their hospitality. At the risk of this place getting even more popular, I urge you to book. It's wonderful.

Spent the weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was a beautiful, cozy and relaxing experience. The sound bath, and Nordic outdoor spa was wonderful. The food was incredible and beautifully plated. With the option of having food delivered to your cabin or eating in the main house. Dining experience in the main house felt cozy, romantic and welcoming like you were family. 11/10 experience and will be coming back. Everything was genuinely perfect.

Let me start by saying I’m very hesitant to leave this review because I would love to gate keep this one! BUT we just had a fantastic weekend at Sowilo retreat. It was peaceful, clean, relaxing, and provided all the comfort that anyone could want for a weekend away to recharge and enjoy nature. To top it off they offer the most amazing meals that we’ve had in a long time. Don’t hesitate to book your next getaway here… you won’t regret it. We are booking our next escape soon! Thank you to Hunor and all the Sowilo staff that made our weekend an unforgettable one.
