A Summer Escape with RAKxa's "Optimal Fitness Retreat"
RAKxa Integrative Wellness, Bangkok’s leading integrative wellness destination, is taking their concept international with an exclusive series of seasonal Wellness Retreats at the idyllic Castelfalfi in Tuscany, starting with the Optimal Fitness Retreat this summer. Each seasonal retreat is complemented by the RAKxa Wellness Spa (which opened this March) and anchored in RAKxa’s five interconnected pillars of holistic wellness: Nutrition, Exercise, Stress Management, Rest and Restorative Treatments. Specialists from RAKxa’s flagship retreat in Bangkok will lead wellness workshops, guiding participants towards their health goals with the brand’s trademark integrative approach.
Castelfalfi, a lovingly restored medieval estate offering panoramic vistas of rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves, is the perfect setting to align with the unique charms of the Tuscan seasons. Guests will enjoy the sensorial beauty of Tuscany as it transforms throughout the year - from the fresh blooms of spring to the crisp serenity of winter.
Optimal Fitness Retreat, 23 - 26 August 2024
RAKxa’s Optimal Fitness Retreat three-night, four-day retreat invites guests to embrace the vitality of the summer season. Inspired by vivid colours and vibrant flavours, guests will embark on a wellness journey that transports them back to their true self. It offers revitalising experiences, including nature hikes and delicious, nourishing cuisine featuring the region’s famed summer truffles.
Limited capacity ensures that guests at this intimate retreat receive personalised attention and care, allowing each participant to deeply engage with their journey to wellness. Under the guidance of RAKxa's lead trainer and corrective exercise specialist, guests will participate in interactive workshops on fitness fundamentals, effective exercise techniques, neuromuscular control, and methods to correct physical imbalances. These newfound insights will enhance guests’ hiking experiences, making each adventure in the picturesque Tuscan landscape more rewarding. After a day of exploration, guests can unwind with luxurious spa treatments designed to soothe stiff, tired muscles and restore balance.
Guests will enjoy full-board wellness meals prepared with seasonal, organic ingredients that showcase Tuscany’s culinary heritage, while following RAKxa’s anti-inflammatory food philosophy. Highlights include a truffle hunting experience, culminating in a sumptuous truffle-themed feast. The Summer Wellness Cuisine workshop will equip guests with nutritious, seasonal recipes and the skills to maintain a healthy lifestyle at home.
Other Upcoming Seasonal Retreats
Those unable to join the summer retreat will have the opportunity to participate in two other retreats this year - the Autumn Special (8 - 21 October) and the Winter Retreat (29 November - 2 December). A Spring Wellness Retreat is also scheduled for next year (11 -14 April 2025).
With RAKxa’s integrative approach and expertise, the three-night Summer Optimal Fitness Retreat at Castelfalfi promises a transformative wellness experience that rejuvenates the body, energises the mind and restores the spirit.
