What makes Avana special
Lush facilitation areas
We have a flat grassed area by the riverside that can be shaded by a large tent to hold your activities, presentations, rituals, talks. Pro soundsystems, mats and other extras can be set up to make your experience complete.
Camping in the rainforest
The shaded rainforest area holds our camp spots where we set up roomy bell tents with crisp bedding and handy furniture.
Permanent cold plunges
We have set up two cold plunges under the trees, by the river, so you can take a dip whenever you want. We have also set up larger pools for bigger events, like Wim Hof, where we can fit 10 people at a time.
Lots of space, lots of possibilites
Avana stretches over 5 acres of a mix of cleared grass and rainforest areas. There are plenty of spaces to create activities for your retreats. There is also the possibility of parking on the land and adding more camping options for bigger groups.
The river
Beautiful Wilson’s Creek flows through the property, giving you direct and unrestricted access to cleansing, flowing, natural water to dip in.
Luxe outdoor living
The facilities here are aimed at keeping you connected to nature, while also providing the level of quality that keeps you feeling good and fresh. Hot outdoor showers under the stars and toilets with clear rooves so you can watch the tree canopy sway.
Indoor spaces and kitchen
The main house here provides opportunities for indoor activities and use of amenities. There is an upstairs and downstairs kitchen to prepare meals, privately or via a professional catering service. There is a medium-sized presentation room on the downstairs level and areas to hang out.
A perfect location to get away and also explore the local area.
