1. “Hyper Sensible”
In today's digital age, our time to focus on a subject is decreasing. On the other hand, we listen to podcasts that will heal our body and mind, and we are interested in therapies and health-oriented travel experiences. We develop our 6th and 7th senses beyond our five senses with these experiences that strengthen our bond with ourselves and renew our communication with nature.
“Hyper Sensible” focuses on personalized experiences that allow us to concentrate on a specific moment of experience, are down-to-earth, and care about local values.

Today, the concept of luxury is associated with experiences that emit less carbon to nature and are not accessible to everyone, rather than five-star hotels. Offering a more contemporary approach to the travel style we can define as "backpacker", the hotel points to a transformation not only in the hospitality industry but also in the way of traveling. Working as a membership club, the hotel has provided unique experiences to its members in Salento, Cambodia and Brazil.
