In-House Experiences: Engage Your Mind and Body

At Terra Verde, we provide a range of immersive activities designed to inspire, invigorate, and relax:

  • Yoga and Tai Chi: Start your day with a yoga session in the Bamboo Garden, where the gentle rustle of leaves sets a serene tone. Explore different styles of yoga, from restorative to dynamic, or experience the flowing movements of tai chi under the shade of the Linden tree.
  • Sound Baths and Massage Therapy: Let the calming vibrations of a sound bath melt away stress, or indulge in a massage tailored to your preferences. Our tranquil spaces, both indoors and outdoors, provide the perfect setting for deep relaxation.
  • Personal Training and Fitness: For those who enjoy staying active, we can arrange sessions with expert personal trainers. From energising strength training to guided runs or workouts in our Nature Gym, staying fit at Terra Verde is both rewarding and fun.
  • Guided Walks: Explore the stunning natural surroundings with guided walks through the forest and countryside. Learn about local flora, fauna, and history from experienced guides who bring the landscape to life.
  • Games for All Ages: Engage in friendly competition with our thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor games. Inside the house, choose from board games, puzzles, and interactive challenges. Outside, enjoy team-building activities or field games in the meadow.
