About us

Concept

Wellness, food and nature in a flexible retreat format.

Akasha is a sanctuary immersed in the wild beauty of Transylvania, embraced by the ridgelines of Piatra Craiului. The retreat blends daily yoga and mindful movement with nourishing, locally sourced cuisine and cozy mountain stays — designed to restore energy, clarity and connection with nature.

Our Holiday Concept invites you to arrive when you can and stay as long as you like, combining classes, healthy menus and accommodation in a natural setting — a unique, flexible way to retreat in Romania.

Founder: Daniela Răileanu

A small team with a clear mission.

Akasha began in 2015 with a simple promise: to create a soothing place to rest and reset — a welcoming, international retreat anchored in respect, inclusivity and sustainability. From the village of Peștera to nearby Bran, the founder shaped intimate spaces where thoughtful hospitality and nature lead the way. Today, the team continues that vision across two boutique venues — Akasha Retreat (Peștera) and Villa Alba (Predeluț/Bran) — hosting individuals, couples, and private groups for meaningful time in the mountains.
