Wisdom of Roses
9–12 April 2026 | Jabal Akhdar, Oman
Wisdom of Roses is a 3-night / 4-day women's retreat in the quiet mountains of Jabal Akhdar during rose season. A space to step out of constant demand, release what you've been carrying, and come back to yourself — through sound, cacao, mindful movement, rest, fresh air and the natural beauty of roses and mountains.

Jabal Akhdar, Oman
A mountain region known for cooler air, quiet beauty, terraced farms, and rose gardens in spring.
The mountains naturally slow the mind down. You breathe deeper. Your body settles. And clarity comes back without effort. This is a place where nature does the healing work — you simply need to be present.
Your Mountain Sanctuary
Accommodation
You'll stay in a restored mountain village, built into the cliffs — a place with deep history and a simple, peaceful rhythm.
Think: traditional stone spaces, mountain stillness, quiet nights, and the feeling of being far away from noise — while still held in comfort.
Only 10 women — a small, intimate group where you can truly be yourself.
A Stay That Feels Like a Hidden Mountain Village
A restored 500-year-old cliffside village, lovingly brought back to life and perched above the canyon in Jabal Akhdar.
You arrive by walking up rocky stone steps into a world of traditional terraces, stone pathways, and wide-open canyon views.
The design is beautifully earthy and simple — built with local stone and clay, finished with juniper wood ceilings and handmade wooden doors. Nature truly follows you indoors.
Because the rooms are part of the original village buildings, no two rooms are the same. Some feel cozy and tucked-in, others more spacious — but the feeling is always: calm, quiet, and deeply grounded.
Accommodation Options
Shared
  • Twin rooms — perfect for retreat sisterhood starting from USD 750 per person
  • Shared suites — more spacious, ideal if you're coming with a friend - single room in a shared suite starting from USD 1,010
Single (limited availability)
  • Private double/king rooms for women who want their own quiet space at night starting from USD 1,030
  • Single occupancy is limited and usually books first

Note: Because this is a heritage village stay, bathroom setups vary by room type — some rooms are ensuite, some may be shared, ask us for details.
