The Lighthouse is designed to create a safe, intimate environment for small groups. 8 people fit most comfortably for retreats that include movement or healing on mats, though we can accommodate a group of 10, if requested. For retreats that are set up in a circle or with tables and chairs, we can accommodate 10 to 14 people. The minimum group size to curate a retreat is 4 people.

We ask that you request a retreat at least 4 weeks in advance, if not longer, to allow time to procure practitioners, ensure the studio is available and organize the logistics and flow for your event. If it is possible to accommodate your request within less than 4 weeks notice, we will do our best but cannot make any guarantees.

The cost per person varies greatly, due to many different factors: number of guests, requested offerings, day of the week, length of retreat, number of meals, optional add-ons for 1:1 sessions, offsite experiences and so much more.

Sample costs per person for an 8 person retreat are:

• 2 ½ hours: starting at $125 p/p

• 4 hours: starting at $200 p/p

• 8 hours: starting at $400 p/p

• 1 ½ days: starting at $650 p/p

• 2 days: starting at $800 p/p

Everything! At the Lighthouse, we want to redefine the way we celebrate! Birthdays, reunions or a weekend getaway with family and friends. Or big milestones like bridal parties, bachelorette/bachelor parties, babymoons and celebrations for sobriety or other big life moments.

The Lighthouse is within 60 to 90 minutes driving distance from the Bay Area, 2 hours from San Francisco and 5 hours from LA. The Monterey airport is a 10 minute drive from the Lighthouse, with direct flights from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Dallas and more!

Our retreat concierge service designs personalized retreat experiences for you and your group. We meet with you to understand your vision and curate an itinerary based on our desired vibe, our practitioners’ availability and your budget. This retreat will only be open to your private group (4-10 people) and closed to the public. With a menu of services of 80+ offerings, your retreat will be uniquely designed for your group.

As much or as little as you’d like! Our retreat concierge brings 20+ years of client services, event production and facilitation experience. The Lighthouse has an expansive network of practitioners, small business owners and event service providers who can’t wait to share their magic for your retreat.

We ask that you spend ~5 minutes filling out a form with initial information and if we move forward, scheduling a consultation call with our retreat concierge to learn more about your group and preferences. After the call, we will send you a proposal and welcome your feedback to create the best experience for you and your group.

If you have a specific vision in mind, great! We can’t wait to hear it and help you bring it to life. If you want us to take the lead, amazing! That’s what we’re here for.

The majority of our retreat experiences will take place in our wellness studio, The Lighthouse, in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. We can also design a retreat experience to be held at your home or vacation rental. There are other optional, local offsite experiences for you to choose from.. For nature immersions, we may go to Carmel Beach for a walk or yoga, or head to one of many stunning destinations for a guided hike. Massages, facials and other individual experiences may take place within walking distance of our studio, as well as offsite wine tastings or meals.

Yes! During your consultation with the concierge, we will discuss the needs of your group. Our studio is at ground level with a ramp to enter, as well as a ramp inside and to reach the bathroom in the courtyard. There is ADA parking available in our private lot. Because our retreats are focused on wellness and healing, all fitness and flexibility levels are welcome and each experience can be modified, as needed.
