Discover the Restorative Power of Nature at Crane Lodge

It’s fascinating how often we overlook the very element that sustains us – nature. Yet, every time we return to its embrace, the rejuvenation is almost magical. Wild Luxury’s new offering at Crane Lodge is a celebration of this bond we share with the Earth. They are ushering guests into the ancient art of forest bathing, a practice rooted deeply in Japanese culture as ‘shinrin-yoku’. It is the simple, profound act of absorbing the forest’s ambiance, of letting nature seep into every pore of your being.

When we look around, our modern lives are fraught with hurried schedules, persistent notifications, and an alarming detachment from our environment. And amidst this cacophony, the siren call of Crane Lodge’s serene forest bathing experience is not just a luxury; it is a necessity. Under the expert guidance of Mayumi Kataoka, guests are able to reconnect, rejuvenate, and rediscover the inherent beauty of nature.

The Crane Lodge, with its sprawling greenery, awe-inspiring rock formations, and myriad flora and fauna, is an Eden. It’s not just about a walk in the woods. It’s an immersive experience, designed to awaken your senses, make you more observant, more in tune with the whispers of nature. Whether it’s the rhythmic dance of tree branches or the calm glow of sunlight piercing through the canopy, there is an orchestra of tranquillity waiting to be experienced.

The path laid out for forest bathing is not just a journey through the peaceful surroundings but also a journey within yourself. As you meander through the trails, past the gentle springs, towering trees, and elegant fauna, the experience is therapeutic. And when this exquisite excursion concludes with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, it encapsulates the age-old bond between nature and humans.

Research has continually shown the plethora of benefits associated with forest bathing. Improved mood, deeper sleep, and heightened focus are just the tip of the iceberg. Such is the power of nature; it’s a healer, a mentor, a silent companion.

Crane Lodge stands as a beacon of how luxury can seamlessly blend with sustainability. The meticulous efforts undertaken by owner Kim Ellis and landscape architect Matt Cantwell are testimony to an unwavering commitment to preserving and enriching nature. The restoration of this native forest, the delicate balance of endemic and endangered species, and the passion to create an ambiance perfect for forest bathing all point towards a singular truth: Nature is not just around us; it’s a part of us.

As guests step into this sanctuary, Kim wants them to feel not like visitors but a part of this natural tapestry, finding their nooks of serenity, their personal corners of relaxation. Every rock, every fern, every rustling leaf at Crane Lodge has a story to tell, an experience to offer.

And while the world may seem like it’s spinning faster every day, places like Crane Lodge and practices like forest bathing serve as gentle reminders of the beauty in stillness, the healing in silence, and the luxury in nature.

As we think of our wellbeing, let’s not forget the wellbeing of our planet. Wild Luxury isn’t just offering a stay; it’s an invitation to realign, recalibrate, to understand that in caring for nature, we care for ourselves. Experience this unique blend of luxury and wellness at Crane Lodge, and let nature cradle you in its embrace.
