Nestled in the heart of the Lebanese mountains in Saqi Rechmaya,
Alyasa Village is more than a retreat. It is a destination shaped by nature, heritage, and quiet living.
Inspired by the name of Mar Elishaa, patron of the historic church welcoming guests at the entrance of the village, Alyasa was imagined as a village in its truest sense: a collection of spaces, stories, and experiences brought together in harmony with the land that surrounds them.

Built in traditional Lebanese stone architecture ,
and softened by elegant neo-classical interiors, the village unfolds through its different residences.
From the floral charm of Arcadia Villa to the peaceful privacy of Soukoon Villa, the warmth of The Bungalow, and the independent spirit of Diyafa Studios, each space carries its own atmosphere while remaining connected to the same spirit of authenticity and belonging.

Surrounded by woods,
olive trees, wild flowers, and mountain air, Alyasa invites guests to reconnect with nature, Lebanese culture, and themselves. Here, mornings begin quietly, days unfold between wellness, discovery, and long farm-to-table meals, while evenings settle into sunsets, stories, and stillness.
With the soul of a guesthouse and the comforts of a refined retreat, Alyasa is a place to gather, celebrate, rest, explore, or simply pause from the rhythm of everyday life.
Mar Elishaa Church
At the heart of Alyasa Village stands the historic Church of Mar Elishaa, whose presence has shaped the identity of this place for centuries.
Dedicated to the prophet Elisha, known in Latin as Alyasa, the church inspired the name of the village and remains an enduring symbol of its heritage.
Preserved and cared for by the El Khazen family, whose roots are deeply connected to the region, the church continues to watch over the village much as it has watched over generations before.
Today, its timeless presence serves as a reminder of the history, traditions, and sense of belonging that continue to define Alyasa.
