Private Group Retreats

It depends on the destination, trip length, lodging style and what you include, which is exactly why your proposal comes with a per-person price band before you commit to anything. As a rule of thumb, most private group retreats land in a similar range as our public retreats, and groups of 8 or more get the best per-person value.

Yes, for trips based on our past retreats and destinations: you get destination options, an itinerary outline and a per-person price band within 10 business days, often sooner, at no cost and with no commitment. If your trip needs a brand new venue, location or staff sourced from scratch, that deeper design work falls under the custom planning fee below, which is credited toward your trip when you book.

Designing a brand new trip is real work: researching venues, negotiating with chefs and guides, checking seasons and building the itinerary. The planning fee, typically $500, covers that design phase and is credited in full toward your retreat when you book. Larger or more involved trips can call for a bigger design scope, and in that case we agree on the fee together before any work starts. Trips based on a destination we have already run skip the fee entirely, because the groundwork is done.

Not at all. Yoga is where we started, but private groups have asked us for Pilates weeks, cooking and wine trips, hiking adventures, team offsites and celebration getaways. Tell us the theme and we will build the retreat around it, with or without a single sun salutation.

Your proposal spells it out, but a typical private retreat includes lodging, chef-prepared or arranged meals, daily sessions with vetted instructors, planned activities and ground transfers. Flights are usually booked by your guests, and we are happy to assist with flight planning.

Plan at least 6 months ahead, and for popular destinations and venues 9 to 12 months gives us the time to work everything out and secure availability. Holding dates usually means a venue deposit, refundable or non-refundable depending on the property, and we always spell out those terms before you commit. The earlier you start, the more options your group has.

Absolutely, and it is the smartest way to do it. We re-run the trip privately for your group with the same venues and vendor relationships we have already vetted, which means faster planning, fewer surprises and better pricing. Browse the destinations above and select the one you love.

Most private retreats work best with 8 to 40 guests, and per-person pricing is most attractive from 8 up. Smaller groups are welcome too, and for larger gatherings we will design around your headcount. Tell us your estimated size in the inquiry and we will take it from there.

A deposit locks in your dates and venue, and the remaining balance follows a clear payment schedule laid out in your proposal, typically split into scheduled payments in the months before the trip.
