BULGARIA: Swiss-Belhotel International Sets Foot In Bulgaria’s Sacred Land

Global hospitality management Group Swiss-Belhotel International continues its expansion in Europe with the signing of Swiss-Belresort Mount Orpheus in Bulgaria set to open by 2017.

Beautifully situated in one of Bulgaria’s most picturesque destination, The Rhodope Mountains, Swiss-Belresort Mount Orpheus is nestled in almost 4 acres of lush greeneries under the “Sacred Land” development. “Our vision is to create a unique destination where guests can come and experience true zero carbon living through sustainable, holistic design and engineering. It will demonstrate how true sustainable living can be achieved and become beneficial to one’s health and wellbeing,” said Michael Ian Butterfield, Sacred Land OOD Chairman and CEO.

The 100-room 4-star rated Swiss-Belresort Mount Orpheus will feature a modern contemporary structure that will utilize effective waste management, pollution reduction scheme, energy-efficient building systems, recyclable energies such as wind, solar and geothermal, in order to achieve environmental sustainability.

“With today’s fast paced lifestyle, most of us neglect the importance of balance. At Swiss-Belresort Mount Orpheus, we aim to promote holistic healing and wellness by providing a unique and tranquil environment – a place where the mind, body and spirit will find relaxation, rejuvenation and ultimately, balance. We believe that healing and wellness will take place when balance is achieved and sustained.” Swiss-Belhotel International Chairman and President Gavin M. Faull said.

Whether on a medical or wellness retreat, guests can take advantage of modern Ayurvedic and rejuvenating treatments. To complement the holistic approach to wellness, the resort’s restaurant will offer tasteful dishes that will use the freshest ingredients handpicked from it’s own organic farm where guests can also harvest premium produce and at the same time get educated on how grow them on their own. In addition, various wellness activities including meditation and yoga will be incorporated to the guests’ itinerary. Specified tracks for walking, jogging or biking will also be established so that guests can stay physically active and enjoy the area’s naturally pristine environment.
