There are travels, after which there are beautiful photos. And there are those who change the internal state.
This is how we created our author’s expedition to the Solovetsky Islands.
I'm the founder. Prive Jet Club Business Aviation & ConciergeShe is an expert in the field of premium travel with more than 15 years of experience in organizing individual routes around the world.
Over the years, private flights, expeditions to the most remote corners of the planet, boat trips, vacations on private islands have been organized. We easily organize access to closed events, even with the participation of the president.
But over time, it became clear that real luxury is not only a high level of service. The real luxury is to be able to stop, exhale and find yourself in a place that really changes your inner state.
That is why this journey was created.
We will travel to the Solovetsky Islands – in the heart of the Russian North, where the majestic nature of the White Sea, ancient Orthodox shrines and centuries-old history are united in one of the most powerful places in Russia.
This is not just a journey to beautiful places.
It's a journey to yourself.
Why the Solovetsky Islands?
The Solovetsky Islands is one of the most famous and mysterious places in Russia, where history, spirituality and nature are intertwined. For more than five centuries, pilgrims, travelers, historians and people have come here looking for inspiration, inner harmony and answers to important questions.
The main shrine of the archipelago Spaso-Preobrazhensky Solovetsky MonasteryIt was founded in the fifteenth century. For centuries it was the spiritual center of the Russian North, an impregnable fortress and a place of pilgrimage. Today, the monastery is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is considered one of the main Orthodox shrines of Russia.
Solovka is called powerhouse. Here, the energy of nature, the silence of the White Sea, the grandeur of ancient temples and monastic hermitages are especially acutely felt. Many people come here not only for the sake of history or beautiful landscapes, but to restore inner balance, feel calm and inspiration.
The history of the islands knows not only the heyday of the monastery, but also the tragic pages of the XX century. Today Solovki have become a symbol of memory, faith, rebirth and strength of the human spirit.
Due to its unique history, architecture and incredible northern nature, the islands have repeatedly become a place for filming documentaries and feature films, historical projects and television programs. This place is impossible to understand from photos - you need to see and feel it yourself.
