HOW DO OUR PRIVATE RETREATS WORK?
When you book a private retreat with Carmel Retreats, it’s truly private - just you and your partner, no distractions from other guests, it’s just you. Next we offer options for creating the retreat of your dreams by connecting you with the experiences you want. This allows you to build a custom itinerary tailored specifically to your needs and focus solely on the purpose that brought you here. Our retreats typically span 7 days & nights or more.
For example, you may choose to start your first day with a sunrise meditation followed by a spiritual hike in the redwood forests of Big Sur. Another day, you might enjoy a hot mineral bath and massage package at the nearby Refuge Spa, followed by an evening cacao ceremony on the back deck of your private cottage. Other days might be filled by tranquil walks among the storied cottages of Carmel, drop-in sessions at the yoga studio up the block, and evenings spent listening to bagpipe music on the beach at sunset. It’s enchanting.
