  • Loved The Experience

    We loved everything about The Gaia Sanctuary! The greenery, the peacefulness and the accommodation. My children loved the environment and we would love to repeat the experience.

  • Relaxing Place

    Thee Gaia is one of the most reelaxing places I have ever been to. My partner and I stayed in the Boho tent and we loved everything about it. It's a nice place to go to if you want complete peace and want to connect with nature.

The Gaia Sanctuary impact highlights

The Gaia Sanctuary wants to be the change they wish to see in this world. Their goal is to be self-sustainable by adopting biodynamic, organic and permaculture farming principles. They believe in nutritious, healthy food & living and in making it more accessible to consumers.

They want to become a destination training centre for others looking to improve their lives and practices through these principles. Their aim is to show others that organic farming is possible, cost-effective, and doable when you have the right knowledge and tools. Organic farming mostly creates less soil and water pollution, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and is more energy efficient. Organic agriculture is linked with more unusual plants, animals, insects and microbes, biodiversity and genetic diversity.
