Question 1

What is Experience Retreats?

Accepted Answer

Experience Retreats is a free directory of vetted yoga and wellness retreat venues available for exclusive hire. We serve yoga teachers, mindfulness facilitators, and wellness retreat leaders who need to find and book a venue for their group — without paying platform fees or commission.

Question 2

Does Experience Retreats charge a commission or booking fee?

Accepted Answer

No. Experience Retreats charges zero commission and zero booking fees to retreat leaders. Our service is completely free for retreat hosts. You always deal directly with the venue and pay the venue directly.

Question 3

How do I find a venue for my yoga retreat?

Accepted Answer

Browse the Experience Retreats collection by region, click through to any venue page for full details, and submit an enquiry with your dates and group size. We make a direct introduction to the venue owner within 24 hours — no intermediary, no booking fees.

Question 4

Do I have exclusive use of the venue?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All properties in the Experience Retreats collection are available for exclusive hire — your group has the entire venue to itself for the duration of your retreat, with no shared facilities with other guests or retreat groups.

Question 5

What types of retreat can I host at these venues?

Accepted Answer

Venues are used for yoga retreats (Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga, restorative, kundalini), meditation and mindfulness retreats, breathwork and somatic workshops, 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher training (YTT), women's wellness retreats, plant-based nutrition retreats, digital detox retreats, silent retreats, and corporate wellness programmes.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book a retreat venue?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 4–9 months in advance for peak season dates. Summer retreats in Europe and dry-season dates in tropical destinations book up earliest. Yoga teacher training programmes requiring 10–21 days should be planned 9–12 months ahead.
