For Retreat Owners
The Global Retreat Company is the most trusted, curated resource on retreats. It is not a listing site. Retreats are only accepted if they are positively reviewed by our team, and pay a fee to be a part of our collection each year.
We review retreats of all types and budgets, but they must have been running for at least a year. Retreats can be open all year round, offered on set dates at least three times a year, or available on a private basis. If you wish to be considered, please fill in this form and we will be in touch.
