1. FINDING YOUR PERFECT ADVENTURE
We operate in 7 different destinations to bring you an unforgettable retreat. Choose your desired destination, select the dates available and the type of room you’d like to stay with us. We offer different types of accommodation:
Double rooms; Double rooms offer the best choice to stay with a partner or best friend. Most retreats have separated beds. If the room description says SHARING you’re booking a double room with separated beds, however if the room description says SHARING W/ FRIEND the beds for this option are often King or Queen sized beds and can only be booked if you’re joining us as two (friend or partner). As all prices are per person, you have the option to book a room and share with another retreater, or go all in and book your own suite.
Single rooms; The entire room all to yourself. Perfect if you value a little extra privacy.
