ABOUT Bliss & Stars
Most lives don’t fall apart. They just get louder.
Ours looked good on paper. Back-to-back meetings. Flights. Late dinners. Thirty tabs open.
And then we noticed the obvious thing we’d been avoiding: the pace was working, but we weren’t.
So we did an inconvenient thing.
We moved into a valley with no mobile coverage and no infrastructure. We built the road, the systems, the shelter. The place came together one practical problem at a time.
Not to reinvent ourselves.
To live at a speed a human life can actually sustain.
We’re not interested in wellness theatre.
We’re interested in the conditions that help people slow down and soften.
Human scale: 10 guests max, one long table, undivided attention. Privacy, stillness, communal meals, and a place that doesn’t try to impress you.
WHY WE BUILT IT
Bliss & Stars wasn’t launched. It was built.
Off-grid living is a lie detector. If the wood is wet, you feel it. If the day is too full, you pay for it. You can’t outsource the basics. Darkness. Silence. Time to finish a thought.
You need warmth. Water. Food. Sleep. A place that holds you without demanding anything back.
We built around those essentials. And we kept the scale small on purpose.
Because care doesn’t scale infinitely. Attention doesn’t either.
A long table. A few cabins. Stars loud enough to interrupt your thoughts. A rhythm, but not a schedule. Long afternoon nap you don’t have to feel guilty about.
WHAT HAPPENS HERE
People arrive with a jaw held tight, a polite smile, and eyes still scanning the room for what’s next.
The one you get when someone has been “fine” for too long.
By day two, conversation slows down.
They sleep.
They walk along the Doring, past the boulders, without checking a watch.
They look up and feel awe do its quiet work.
Nothing explodes. Nothing needs to. Things just get quieter.
A reduction in urgency, and the odd realisation that urgency was never the same as importance.
MEET THE TEAM BEHIND BLISS & STARS
Our team is the heart of our transformative experience. Each member brings a unique blend of personal stories, expertise, and care. Our team is here to support and inspire you every step of the way.
A COMMITMENT TO OTHERS
We donate 5% of proceeds to a bursary fund so the valley is not reserved for one type of person.
A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
We aim to create an environment where humans and nature coexist harmoniously. Therefore, Bliss & Stars is designed to protect nature for the benefit of all beings by being a completely self-sustaining retreat.
Our organic on-site produce, biodegradable skincare line, waste management systems, and solar energy allow our guests to respect and cherish the environment the same way the environment helps to heal and enlighten our guests.
