Are you feeling the need to step away from your everyday stress? Spending too much time indoors, on a screen?
When you build your own retreat at Omega, you’ll be surrounded by verdant woodlands along the shores of Long Pond Lake, abundant wildlife, and overflowing gardens to set you up for any adventure that calls you.
The Hudson Valley and its charming small towns also offer visitors no lack of inspired scenery, historic sites, or places to rest and simply take in the fresh air. Whether it’s scenic hikes you’re after, or tasting the bounty of Hudson Valley farms, Omega’s flexible Rest & Rejuvenation Retreat gives you a variety of options to choose from.
Here are 8 reasons you'll want to consider building your own R&R retreat at Omega:
1. Bring a calm, grounded energy your day with an early morning walk through the gardens or a class in yoga or tai chi. Then enjoy a healthy breakfast with everything from eggs and crunchy breakfast potatoes, to Tierra Farm granola and yogurt sourced from Hawthorne Valley Farms. At breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you’ll find local, mostly organic, sustainable, nutrient-dense, and whole-food meals in Omega’s air-conditioned Dining Hall.
2. Spectacular hiking and beautiful natural vistas await. Drive just 15 minutes to hike Burger Hill, voted best "small hike, big view" by Hudson Valley Magazine in 2021. Or try another of Dutchess County's Top 10 Hidden Gem Hikes, including the famed Stissing Mountain Fire Tower.
3. You can deepen connections or make new ones. Whether it's meeting like-minded individuals or deepening connections with friends or family, retreats at Omega offer meaningful opportunities to build or renew relationships in a focused, intentional way.
4. The Hudson Valley is home to a plethora of farm-to-table dining experiences. In walking distance from Omega's campus is Slow Fox Farm, where the owners grow organic produce and brew beer using local ingredients. Just five miles away, Milea Estate Vineyard in Staatsburg is a premier wine destination that produces sustainable regional wines. The nearby village of Rhinebeck has a farmers market every Sunday, and there's a variety of restaurants offering farm-to-table cuisine.
