About this campspace

Soulpath stands for health & respect for nature, and offers a stay in peace & quiet and in a beautiful natural environment. That is why we live in an ecological way and we ask our guests to eat vegan or vegetarian, not to drink alcohol and not to smoke on our domain. You can stay in your own tent, in the pipowagen (small gypsy wagon) or the Ammavan (caravan in the energy of mother Amma), all with a fantastic view of the green surroundings. Use of sauna and hot tub is optional. In the eco wellness corner between the trees, you can enjoy a wood-fired sauna and hot tub, sun loungers and a cold outdoor shower.

Ruben is a caring person who finds it important that guests feel really comfortable. "May you feel safe and at home on our paradise domain."

Tips

  • From the moment you arrive at the Soulpath domain you enter a secure bubble, a romantic idyllic place where the natural connection with yourself arises in the reflection with scented flowers, the concert of various birds and all the small wild animals on the domain. You get peace of mind pretty quickly. You can completely relax in our luxurious hot tub and sauna in the forest, in the moonlight under the starry sky, to the sound of a night owl. All stress therefore immediately falls away from you.

  • The Tibetan Healing kinematics "yoga" session for couples with an adapted massage and meditation strengthens the bond of love between each other. We guarantee you an unforgettable romantic stay; offered with the necessary privacy and loving service.

  • Bioboer Busschots and 5% discount at the cash register when you mention that you are staying at the Soulpath domain.

  • Bi

  • Den Ouden Burgemeester is very cozy and good food: booking in advance is recommended.

A very nice, hidden place in the forest where you can completely relax. The wellness was given an extra dimension by the dark, the rain and the candles, very nice! The gypsy wagon was ideal, cozy to stay in.

Nice location in the forest, quiet area. Welcoming people. We slept in a tent but were allowed to use the heated yurt and covered greenhouse where we could also prepare our food. The sauna and hot tub are highly recommended and the option to book yoga, etc. is also great!

How was the contact with the host?
Good contact, quick response to messages and they were also good to talk to during the stay.

Tips for new guests?

Ruben en Eva zijn bijzonder attente hosts en verwelkomen je met open armen en goede zorgen. Het bos dient als een oase waarin je kan ontwaken, verblijven, rust vinden. De locatie is goed gelegen met bezienswaardigheden en activiteiten voor jong en oud in Mechelen, Lier en Duffel. Wandelingen starten meteen aan Soulpath. Een aanrader!

The contact with Ruben and Eva went very smoothly. They were always available by phone for additional questions and someone was always available on site. We had a very nice weekend with Ruben and Eva. The domain is very quiet in a beautiful and green environment. There is also a lot of attention for sustainability and ecology, which was a nice plus for us. The outdoor wellness on the domain is definitely recommended!

Tell us about your experience
A place to completely relax. The ecodomain also lives up to its name. Everything is ecological and one with nature. In the evening we could give ourselves exactly the relaxation we needed by using the sauna and jacuzzi. In the early morning we awoke to the chirping of the many birds and the delicious breakfast. We loved it!

Enjoy the hot tub and wood-fired sauna! Completely relax in the middle of the forest. What more could a person have :-)

How was the contact with the host?
Ruben is a top host! Received us very well, gave a tour of the entire domain and is always available for questions or ambiguities. Some extra wood for the sauna or an extra dessert.... Ruben does it all without questions :-)

Selke

Tell us about your experience
Ruben and Eva have turned a small piece of forest into a magical place where you can completely relax. They were very hospitable and during the rain there was good comfort in the grape greenhouse. The wellness is definitely recommended; an unforgettable experience with candlelight in the forest. We saw some squirrels playing in the trees. As constructive criticism, a second shower would be nice, because when the wellness is fully booked, you can't get to the shower.
