Integral Resorts are innovative and holistic holiday resorts located in natural habitats. They provide an energizing and empowering environment to their guests due to their unique offering in terms of activities, but also in terms of its build environment. Buildings, rooms and places are created on the basis of biophilic design and traditional knowledge of universal principles of order. The arrangement, structure and materials resonate with the human sensory system and have an ordering and thus calming effect. The activities offered are geared to the four phases of life: childhood, youth, adulthood and old age, and are divided into movement, awareness, community and nutrition. Shared experiences with trainers and lectures allow deep insights into human dimensions and accompany human transitions from unity to multiplicity and from connectedness to wisdom. The resorts accompany their guests towards a fulfilled and long life.
