The Zen Garden & Boardwalk at Solaya

What outdoor spaces open at Solaya in August?

What is the Zen Garden designed for?

The Zen Garden is a dedicated outdoor retreat created for meditation, relaxation, quiet mornings, and evenings gathered around the fire. Morning brings stillness. Evening brings conversation. Both offer the opportunity to slow down.

Time spent outdoors has long been associated with reduced stress, improved mood, and better overall well-being. At Solaya, nature is one of the community’s five wellness pillars. The new luxury is time outside.

What’s next for outdoor living at Solaya?

In 2027, residents will welcome The Green for yoga, picnics, lawn games, wellness programming, and community gatherings. In 2028, the Bark Park completes the Nature pillar.
