Dereville is a place people come to not just to escape routine, but to truly disconnect from the noise of the city. Only an hour and a half from Kyiv, a different rhythm begins: highways give way to forest paths, streetlights to star-filled skies, and endless news to a silence where it’s easy to hear yourself. The complex is located within the Mezhyrichynskyi National Nature Park and spans 380 hectares of wild ecosystem, where humans are visitors rather than main characters.
Dereville is often described as nature therapy — and it’s not a metaphor. Deer, fallow deer, mouflons, buffalo, along with dozens of species of birds and fish, live here freely in their natural habitat, without cages or enclosures.
The complex itself is a modern forest hotel with warm, comfortable rooms and a restaurant serving simple, honest food made from local farm products. Noise and entertainment-driven formats are intentionally limited: there are no clubs, loud bars, or mass events. Instead, guests can enjoy solitude in the forest, take long walks, or go on a slow-paced safari through the eco-park with rangers in an off-road vehicle, always respecting the animals’ space.
Dereville is not about an active weekend, but about silence, rest, sleep, and a sense of inner warmth. According to guests, by the third day a rare feeling sets in — the feeling that there’s no need to rush anywhere or prove anything to anyone.
