Luxury, Nature, Sustainability: The Samadhi Retreats DNA

Samadhi - the moment when the mind achieves stillness and total meditative consciousness. True to its name, Samadhi Retreats is a sanctuary for serenity and holistic hospitality, all while harmonising with nature and embracing sustainability.

Samadhi Retreats boasts a chain of luxury hotels, resorts, and restaurants strategically situated "in the middle of nowhere," surrounded by nature. Each location aims to provide customers with a distinctive escape from the hustle and bustle of life.

Today on Open for Business, we speak to Federico Asaro, the CEO, and Founder of Samadhi Retreats. He shares insights into the unique Samadhi DNA, discussing the challenges and successes of intertwining luxury, nature, and sustainability in the hospitality scene.
