The Weekend Getaway Art Retreat - A short break for the creative soul

Sometimes all it takes is a weekend to clear your head. The Weekend Getaway Retreat offers time and space to calm down and revive your creativity. Over three days, you will devote yourself entirely to watercolor painting, accompanied by yoga, healthy food and plenty of space for creativity and relaxation.
All activities are optional and the studio is open around the clock - so you can give free rein to your creativity outside of the workshops, work on your projects and try out other materials. Whether in the studio, exploring Hội An or relaxing by the pool or beach, this weekend combines creativity, culture and tranquillity in a natural way.

What makes this retreat special:
* A short but relaxing break - for anyone who wants to get creative, discover new things and recharge their batteries without committing to a whole week straight away
* 3 workshops in different techniques - experiment with color, composition and different techniques (suitable for all levels)
* 24/7 access to the studio - get creative whenever you want with a wide range of materials (brushes, paints, paper and more)
* A blend of wellbeing and inspiration - start the day with gentle yoga and enjoy healthy, varied meals
* Moments of peace and relaxation - unwind by the pool, treat yourself to a massage or enjoy the tranquillity of our garden
* Authentic local connection - discover Hội An's culinary diversity, the surrounding nature and the relaxed, open atmosphere of this unique place

Our guest rooms are designed with great attention to detail and combine the cozy atmosphere of an original Vietnamese homestay villa with modern simplicity and the charm of Indochine style. Natural light, soft fabrics and views of the surrounding gardens create a tranquil environment for both retreat and inspiration. Whether relaxing after a workshop or journaling at dawn, each room becomes a personal sanctuary for relaxation and creativity. Equipped with a comfortable double bed or two single beds, rain shower or marble bathtub as well as Wi-Fi, TV, mini fridge and desk, they offer everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

A healthy breakfast awaits you every morning, freshly prepared for you. For lunch and dinner, we serve a variety of Vietnamese and Asian-inspired dishes - always with vegetarian and vegan options, of course. If you have any intolerances or allergies, please let us know when you register so that we can customize your meals.

The program is designed to give you a fulfilling creative weekend while leaving room for rest, reflection and spontaneous moments. Take part in as much as you like - at your own pace, with time for creativity, discovery and relaxation:

* Day 1 - Arrival & Creative Start:
After your arrival in the afternoon, your weekend begins with a first workshop and dinner together in the garden - the perfect start to a creative time-out.

* Day 2 - Creativity & Encounter
The day begins with gentle yoga and breakfast, followed by a morning in the studio. The afternoon is at your leisure - spend time in the studio, explore Hội An, go on a basket boat trip, or relax by the pool or on the beach. In the evening, take a stroll through Trà Quế to round off the day before discovering the local cuisine at a cooking class and dinner together.
