We had such a wonderful stay in this fabulous dome. Everything was thought through for your stay and comfort. It was so quiet and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend booking with Nalu! We had in suite massages which only added to our total relaxation. We would stay again if we are in the area.
This place is exactly what you see on their website. Beautifully furnished and completely functional domes with loads of privacy nestled in the trees with views of the lake. A perfect retreat from the bustle of a city and the stresses of everyday life. Just what we needed. Tracy was our massage therapist and she gave us lots of tips on local attractions. I wish we had our massages on the first day so that we could have taken advantage of more of her suggestions. Oh well, we will have to return!
We stayed at Nalu, Dome 2, for 3 nights and it was exactly the reset that we needed! The self check in was seamless and straightforward. The dome itself has everything that you need, you can tell that a lot of thought was put in not only in the layout and use of space but the simple touches throughout. We will definitely be coming back!
For a couples romantic breakaway, you couldn’t ask for a better place which is quiet, secluded and the total lap of luxury with every detail thought of and available for you. The view is amazing overlooking the lake and the surrounds of a forest, which are totally quiet with no interruptions. One needs to be able to stay for at least two nights to really wind down and relax in total luxury. Will definitely return and stay longer Also book massage with Tracy, she is fantastic
We had an amazing experience—it was the best dome stay we’ve had! The space was incredibly cozy, and honestly, you won’t want to leave because everything you need is right there. Sandy was very responsive, and both she and Paul made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We also loved Tracy, the RMT—such a warm and friendly person. Overall, everyone we met was welcoming and made the experience even more special.
My husband surprised me with this retreat and wow! What a surprise! I have been blessed to experience many things/places in life, but this was a very unique experience. The location was stunning, quiet for the most part, the view was amazing, the amenities were so thought out and the place was REALLY clean (I am picky about this), the towels were a one of a kind, I see why people would like to buy them. The place was plenty roomy for my husband and I, the bed was very comfortable, the extreme detail in everything was so wonderful and relaxing, and then to have been surprised by someone coming to give us massages was icing on the cake, our massage gal was also amazing, she listen to my medical concerns and was very professional and yet personable, she clearly cared about the people she was serving, this was unique and yet so apricated, two days later I still felt the positive effects of her massage, so grateful for this experience. Thank you Nalu for creating such a beautiful place for people to go and relax. We utilized the hot tub even though it rained most of the time we were there, loved how everything was steps away. Beautiful! Oh, it was nearly a full moon when we were there, to see this view from our place was magnificent.
Nalu retreat is an exceptional place like no other to relax. Second to none worldwide. You get all the comforts you expect from a 5 star resort, plus more, like hot tub, outdoor and indoor fireplaces and much more. Plus a lot of quiet time. The domes are spectacular. The only thing you see out from the huge windows is nature. We went in the winter and had a great time. Fully recommended. We will come back
My wife and I were looking for a little weekend getaway from home and this was it. We stayed in Dome 2 and the view was phenomenal. Clear view of the lake, and the hot tub was perfect on a cool winter night. The dome was quite spacious, cozy and relaxing. Perfect to just disconnect from the world and reconnect with loved ones. You get a lot of privacy from the other domes. I would not have been able to say where I was going had domes. That's how private it is. We selected the all inclusive package and it was worth every penny. Tracy, the massage therapist was fantastic. She listen to what was needed and explained everything about what she was doing and what it was for. Providing great massages The food included with the all inclusive package was catered, and when we arrived it was in the fridge. The Lamb Sheppard pie, the charcuterie board, and the blueberry brownie cheese cake was delicious and worth it. We did run into some issues with the indoor fireplace where it wouldn't work , and as soon as we let them know, Paul immediately contacted me and came over to fix it in the afternoon. Which was fantastic. The indoor fireplace really did help make it more relaxing. Phenomenal exprerience. I would recommend this for anyone. And hopefully, another return to Nalu in the future for us.
I travelled two hours to have a solo retreat at Nalu, and I was not disappointed! The dome was very comfortable, clean, and it was clear that every little detail was designed and curated with a great deal of thought and care. My hopes for this retreat were to immerse myself in nature, and to relax in peace and quiet without having to interact with others. I felt safe as a solo traveller, and left my stay feeling rested and grateful to have found this unique experience. The customer service was exceptional, and I feel confident that my next stay will be even more peaceful!
