*Remote Location Considerations

Akasha Retreat is a boutique 11-bedroom hotel situated at 1000 meters altitude in a remote village location. Due to our unique setting:​

- Water supply is sourced from our own well located 250 meters down the valley, which may result in occasional fluctuations.​

- Heating is dependent on gas deliveries, and there may be rare instances of temporary outages.​

While we strive to resolve any such issues promptly, guests should be aware of these conditions inherent to our remote location.

Booking a reservation at Akasha constitutes an understanding and acceptance of these circumstances.​
