I spent 4 days at LipHe (“life”) and found it restorative, healing and profoundly peaceful. The setting is exquisite with sweeping views over olive groves and onto layers of blue mountains.
The food was a revelation for me. Amal is the most amazing cook. Every meal was beautifully presented and so tasty and fulfilling. After 4 days my skin is glowing and I feel fantastic, energized and inspired.
While the price tag may seem high, it’s real value for money. I had 4 days worth of activities for the price of 3 nights. The daily massage, and yoga (only 1-2 people) make it very reasonable. I replaced one yoga session with a guided hike along the river which was delightful. This is a stunning part of Lebanon.
I had 3 yoga classes with Nisrene who coached precisely to my abilities with humor, deep knowledge and care ( vinyasa and yin). I was sufficiently challenged and learned something new at each session and was incredibly fortunate to have her to myself 2 out of 3 days. Classes held under the exquisite blue sky overlooked by the distant mountains, drinking in the pure air and warm sunshine.
The infrared sauna and eco-pool are superb. The eco-chalet was wonderfully comfortable. I chose to sleep with just the insect screen closed, snoozing to the sound of wind in the trees.
I did not want for anything - I was discretely cared for with love and passion by the incredibly generous Amal and Sama. I can not recommend this wonderful place more highly.
