A Note from Lindsay

How we plan every retreat

I started Away Retreats to create the kind of trips I’ve always wanted to take myself. Today, our team of hosts designs and leads every retreat, and we still visit every location in person before we ever bring a group, and we stay in touch with our partners on the ground all year. We know them, and we know their families.
After you book, we call you, so we know what you’re hoping for, what you eat (or don’t), and whether you’d rather hike at sunrise or sleep in. Then every day becomes a menu of choices, not a schedule, so the week fits the people who actually show up.
Every retreat is different, and what you get out of it is up to you. Our job is to take care of everything else.
– Lindsay

Welcome to Away Retreats

Let us handle it all.

“Everything was planned to perfection, even when the unforeseen came up such as weather, Lindsay would have something else planned for us within minutes.”
– Tyler O., Azores 2025

Everything is handled before you land

Accommodation, most meals, activities, local guides, and airport transfers are all researched and booked for you. You don’t coordinate anything.

The itinerary is a menu, not a schedule

Every activity is optional. Sleep in. Join the morning walk. Take a solo afternoon. There is no roll call. Nobody is tracking what you do with your time, and nobody will ask where you were.

Small groups, small enough to matter

We keep every group small, so nobody gets lost in the group and nobody has to perform for it either. Most guests arrive not knowing anyone. Most leave with people they’ll travel with again.

Give Back

Every trip gives back!

A percentage of profit from every retreat goes to a local organization where it’s held, like Oaxaca Youth Empowerment in Mexico and Somos Esperança in Portugal. It’s built into the cost of the trip, not an add-on. We don’t just visit a place. We leave something there.

  • “We stayed at Blue Karma Village, one of the most breathtaking and peaceful properties I have ever set foot on in all of my travels. … The Balinese people are among the kindest I have ever encountered, and I am already planning my return.”

  • “Excursions were always planned to the last detail. We hiked, kayaked, snorkeled, went whale watching, and were in awe as our boat was escorted by a pod of dolphins!”

  • “I had a marvelous time with Away Retreats, in the Algarve region of Portugal! … I highly recommend Away Retreats!”

A few common questions

We are here for Every Question

“I just had to book the trip and the rest was taken care of, from logistics at the airport, drivers, chefs, hot spots on the island, hikes, etc. Lindsay had it covered.”
– Miranda S., Azores 2025

Accommodation, most meals, all group activities, local guides, and airport transfers are included in every Away Retreats package. Flights and personal spending are the exceptions, and those are always spelled out clearly.

Every retreat offers a payment plan. A deposit secures your spot, with the balance paid in full 120 days before the retreat starts. Specific cancellation windows vary slightly by retreat and are listed before you pay anything.

Yes. Every itinerary is a menu, not a schedule. Two weeks before each retreat, we host a group video call to set the tone: put down whatever role you play at home.

Dietary needs are collected ahead of time and accommodated at every meal. Vaccination requirements are listed per destination. Travel insurance is required on every trip.

Anyone who wants to see somewhere new, meet good people, and let someone else handle the logistics. And if a trip isn’t the right fit for you, we’ll tell you honestly.

It depends on the retreat. Each retreat page shows its activity level near the top and describes the longest walks or hikes, and every activity is optional, so you can always skip or swap something.
