The book club that takes you places

Set above Longyearbyen during the Arctic’s polar night, this retreat at Funken Lodge offers a rare kind of magic — where the landscape is lit by moonlight, snow, and the Northern Lights. Surrounded by vast wilderness, this is an adventurous Reading Retreat filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, from dog sledding through the tundra to candlelit dinners far from it all.

Set in the rolling hills near a medieval borgo once frequented by Lord Byron, this rustic villa offers peaceful gardens, a serene pool, and a nature-filled setting perfect for rest and reconnection.

A luxury alpine Reading Retreat set in a five-star boutique hotel in the Swiss Alps — designed for slow mornings, restorative spa rituals, glacier hikes, and uninterrupted time to read, reflect, and reconnect.
