The Process

Four steps to your retreat

1

Tell us your vision

Retreat theme, ideal dates, group size, budget range. We listen first.

2

We build the package

Accommodation, meals, add-ons, logistics, pricing per head. Transparent and modular.

3

You fill the seats

Market to your audience with our co-branded assets and a dedicated landing page for your retreat.

4

We execute flawlessly

On-the-ground team handles every detail from arrival to departure. You stay in host mode, not logistics mode.

Revenue Model

Two models. Zero upfront risk.

Revenue share or flat venue rental. Most leaders prefer revenue share because there is no upfront cost: you earn as you fill seats. We walk you through both options on our planning call.

Common Questions

What is the minimum group size? expand_more

6 guests for a single villa, up to 30+ across our partner network. Most retreat leaders bring groups of 8-16 for the ideal balance of intimacy and energy.

Do I need to visit before running a retreat? expand_more

Recommended but not required. We do a full virtual walkthrough and planning session so you know exactly what your guests will experience. Many first-time hosts visit as guests on an existing retreat before launching their own.

What commission or fee do you charge? expand_more

Depends on the model. Revenue share starts at 70/30 (you keep 70%). Flat venue rental is available for established operators who prefer fixed costs. We will walk you through both options on our planning call.

Can I bring my own staff? expand_more

Absolutely. Bring your own instructors, assistants, or co-facilitators. Or tap into our vetted local roster of yoga teachers, surf coaches, massage therapists, and ceremony facilitators.

What is included in the base package? expand_more

Accommodation, daily breakfast, airport transfers, WiFi, and concierge support. Everything else (meals, activities, excursions, spa services) is modular and priced transparently.

When should I start planning? expand_more

4-6 months out for peak season (December through April), 2-3 months for green season (May through November). The earlier you start, the better the dates and rates we can secure.
