Sustainability heals.

We believe in sustainable wellness, the kind that does good for you, for our communities and for nature.

Nearly eight years ago, we embarked on a bold experiment, one that sought to challenge conventions and redefine rural tourism in Transylvania.

Our vision was clear: to create a space where food, practice & nature are celebrated as the universal love language connecting us all.

We chose to stand apart, daring to serve exclusively vegan and plant-based diets, not as a critique of dietary choices but as a reflection of our commitment to sustainable sourcing.

Our voyage through 8 years, a pandemic, and seeing how our village is changing under our eyes has taught us the value of balance and adaptation. A healthy diet, we've realised, isn't marked by strict limitations but by the ability to savour unprocessed, high-quality ingredients that tell a story of their origin—the story of our village, our culture, and the passionate local producers who are the unsung heroes of sustainability.

We stand at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, inviting you to experience wellness that not only rejuvenates the spirit but also respects and revitalises the earth. Your choice to dine with us is more than a meal—it's a vote for a sustainable future, a gesture of support for local economies, and a step towards nurturing our planet.

  • Akasha is the most "international" experience I have had in Romania…everything is tasty and quite creative. If we were to choose to eat lunch anywhere in the Brasov area, Akasha would be among our first four options.”

  • Let’s talk about retreat food for a minute. It is such a massive part of the experience and @akasharetreats have totally outdone themselves! The food has been colourful, filling and delicious. “

  • Mealtimes are fun and even non-veggies rave about the food, which is always colourful, plentiful and full of flavour, from buckwheat and beetroot breakfast pancakes to raw chocolate puddings (and there are three meals a day, so no one goes hungry).”
