If you cancel your retreat for any reason with more than 45 days notice, your deposit is fully refundable.

If you cancel, for any reason, within 45 - 15 days notice your 30% deposit is non-refundable.

If you cancel with 14 or less days notice your full payment is non-refundable. However, we do understand that circumstances outside of your control can prevent you from travelling - illness, work emergencies, accident, family issues, flight cancellations etc. In these cases, we will refund 50% of your retreat stay, with proof of your extenuating circumstance.

Please understand that if you can’t make it, for whatever reason, with a month or less notice it is difficult for us to fill your space. So even though we keep part of your payment to cover sunk costs, we lose the balance that you would have paid when your space sits empty, so we share the loss with you. The payment that we keep is also used to pay a cancellation fee to our local suppliers to whom we have committed to for your stay, as we don't want our local suppliers to be at a loss when a guest needs to cancel at the last minute and we don't have time to fill their spot.

We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance to enable you to get the remaining money reimbursed, when such circumstances outside of your control prevent you from travelling.

A 30% deposit will confirm your spot.

The balance is due 15 days prior to your retreat start date.
