OLA Soundtrack
To mark its 40th anniversary, Hotel Giardino Ascona invites guests to a truly special experience: Move • Flow • Restore – an exclusive retreat that unites movement, music, relaxation and regeneration in a uniquely inspiring way.
From 25 to 29 May 2026, Ibiza-based movement expert Aleksandra Pudlik curates a three-day programme that harmoniously unites strength and lightness, dynamism and stillness.
Guided by the theme “Ola – Ride the Wave”, a natural rhythm unfolds between activity and recovery. Energising workouts, Pilates, mobility and deep bodywork meet immersive sound journeys and progressive muscle relaxation — complemented by health-conscious cuisine and the unique atmosphere of the house with its Mediterranean garden.
The special character of the Ola Retreat lies in the unique combination of movement and music. Each session follows a choreography created by Aleksandra Pudlik and is accompanied by specially selected music mixed by her – creating a harmonious sound-body experience. From calm, classical melodies to pulsating electronic beats, Aleksandra invites you to immerse yourself in the power of music through movement, flow and relaxation.
This anniversary retreat has been thoughtfully conceived as an exclusive highlight for our Giardino guests and interested visitors — a heartfelt thank you for 40 years of trust, inspiration and shared growth.
Ein Retreat, das nicht nur bewegt, sondern verbindet.
Ein Moment, der bleibt.
