Our Story

Our journey began with a shared love for the outdoors and a deep-rooted sense of fernweh—a yearning for distant places that goes beyond mere wanderlust. We have always found solace and joy in exploring the natural world, whether through climbing, surfing, sailing, hiking, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature.

We believe that the most memorable experiences are not just about beautiful landscapes or thrilling adventures, but about the connections we form with the people and the places we encounter. Not only did we open The Fernweh as a way to share our passion for nature and responsible travel, we also wanted our guests to know that their stay contributes to something meaningful. We aim to provide not just a beautiful retreat, but a meaningful experience that supports local culture and promotes environmental stewardship.

We have seen firsthand the importance of giving back to the communities that welcomed us and preserving the environments that left us in awe.

We are deeply committed to the ethos of giving back, and helping those who need it the most. We redirect a portion of our proceeds to empower the communities surrounding us, support sustainable initiatives, and uplift lives.

By choosing to stay with us, you are not only embracing the joy of living fully but also becoming a part of a greater mission to make a meaningful difference in our world. Together, we celebrate life’s wonders and extend our hands to those who dream of a brighter future.

Join us in this journey, where every moment of pleasure contributes to a wave of positive change, and every breath taken in our tranquil retreats echoes the spirit of humanity and kindness.
