The Hospitality Experience

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”

Henry David Thoreau

  ALAYA is not a regular hotel, it’s a shared idea between people that want to get a taste of something before they decide, that want to understand before they commit, that want to stop before they keep going. It’s not just the comfortable bed and yummy food. Here you’ll find a program of a variety of experiential workshops fro 4 categories: body, mind, soul, and spirit. Selected to allow ourselves to move, choose, and enjoy what is together and what is alone. THe content and workshops will accompany us throughout the weekends/your stay. The content/events will suit anyone who wants to take part, and will always strive towards curiosity, arousing desire, and awareness about ourselves or the environment. As of now, hospitality does not get enough attention in business. At any moment, you can, and we recommend, walking barefoot on the grass, going for a walk on the beach, learning about the body, relationships, friendship, and experiencing things you wouldn’t do on a daily basis/usually. Continue [your journey] by meditating in the Poleg Reserve or simply pick up some snacks and go for a picnic in nature (and maybe meet a giant turtle). Nature plays a central role and we make sure to stay connected at all times: in our vegetarian kitchen that respects every ingredient, every dish, and every season to provide a high nutritional and health standard.
