David VanDerveer founded the White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat. He started when he bought an A-frame in 1982 at 19 years old, now the Castle, and has since built on property he acquired throughout the years.
David's passion for nature, people, and Integral Yoga fuels his 30 + year project: a self-sustaining retreat center in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat is a part of his vision for our global community. Sharing the area’s natural beauty attracts people from different walks of life together to learn, play, and grow. Having traveled to 40 + countries, David always enjoys meeting people from around the world.
The White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat is a uniquely designed Airbnb / short-term rental with 18 lodging options and an event space located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
