LUMI retreats offer more than rest—they offer recalibration. You can look forward to meaningful, lasting shifts that continue long after you return home:

• A calmer, more resilient nervous system and practical tools to access ease anytime.

• Renewed clarity and perspective, cutting through the noise of a busy life.

• Micro-habits and rituals that integrate effortlessly into your routine.

• Real connection with inspiring peers who understand ambition and balance.

• Mind-body practices that balance strength, creativity, and rest.

• A sense of “I can do life intentionally”—and the practices to sustain it.

LUMI isn’t about escaping your life—it’s about returning to it better, refreshed, grounded, and equipped to thrive.

Our co-founders bring seasoned travel expertise and taste to every experience. Accommodations balance comfort, style, service, and privacy—spacious villas with room to breathe and single-occupancy ensuite bedrooms that allow each guest to feel fully at ease—while the agenda weaves together joyful, creative and authentic activities with unstructured time.

The number of guests at each LUMI retreat is intentionally limited so that connection unfolds naturally. 10-12 guests are joined by two dedicated wellness partners guiding the experience, so you’ll feel supported, cared for, and part of a community.

We curate each LUMI experience with intention. Our retreats stay small so the environment feels supportive, relatable, and aligned with the kind of meaningful experience we want every guest to have.

If you’re exploring whether LUMI is right for you, our website and social channels offer a clear sense of our mission, our approach, and the overall feel of our retreats. The “Who Is LUMI For?” section on our Method page is especially helpful.

While there are no formal requirements to book, we ask that you review our policies and answer a few brief questions when reserving your spot. We look over every registration with care to ensure a mutually positive experience, and occasionally we may reach out for a short call to confirm that LUMI is the right fit for what you’re seeking. If we determine it isn’t, we’ll refund your deposit and any payments in full.

If you have questions or feel unsure at any point, please reach out. We’re here to help you make the choice that feels right.

LUMI retreats are designed with a thoughtful balance of structure and spaciousness. Mornings usually begin with gentle, mindful movement—breathwork, yoga, or Pilates—followed by nourishing meals that ease you into the day. From there, the rhythm opens into guided workshops, creative sessions, cultural explorations, and adventures, all crafted to spark insight and joy.

Evenings slow down again with time for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. Every element of the agenda is intentionally shaped to support both rejuvenation and personal discovery. For a full look at what each retreat includes, visit our Retreats page.

No prior experience is required for any of our movement classes—LUMI retreats are open to everyone, regardless of background.

Our movement sessions welcome all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. Classes range from gentle, restorative stretching to more dynamic Vinyasa and Pilates flows. With our intentionally small group size, each session naturally adapts to the needs and energy of the group, offering a comfortable space for personalized exploration. The focus is always on mindful movement—reconnecting you with your body, supporting strength, and enhancing overall well-being.

All excursions are optional, and each one is designed to feel invigorating rather than strenuous. For some of our retreats, we leverage e-bikes to explore local sights. If you have any questions or doubts about mobility, contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss them with you.

For the majority of our retreats, you will only need to book your flights. LUMI handles everything else— accommodations, meals, and transportation once you arrive at the nearest airport or port—so you can slip into retreat mode the moment you land. You’ll also receive a thoughtful packing guide after booking to help you prepare with ease.

Please note that flights are booked independently. For some retreats, LUMI provides private water transfers from the port, and guests are responsible for getting to the port for pick-up.

If you’d like guidance for before or after the retreat, we’re happy to help. We know these destinations well and can offer personalized recommendations to make your travels seamless.

Yes. That said, the retreat is designed to provide a technology-free environment. Guests often find that setting devices aside helps them recharge, focus, and reconnect with themselves and the surroundings. We suggest limiting work and social media use to allow yourself the space to pause, reflect, and enjoy the present moment. Many guests find that even a partial disconnect creates relief and mental clarity.
