Retreat Properties for Sale is a dedicated marketplace for retreat-capable real estate, in front of buyers specifically shopping for it.https://retreats.plus/How do I find the right retreat?Filter by category, by state, or by date on the public calendar. Every listing shows the format, the host, the property, what is included and how many seats remain.https://retreats.plus/retreatsAre these retreats verified?Listings from verified hosts and verified properties carry a verification badge. Verification covers the operator's identity, the property's existence and current insurance.https://retreats.plus/retreatsCan I pay in instalments?Most retreats on the platform offer a deposit followed by instalments. The payment options appear on the listing before you commit.https://retreats.plus/retreatsWhat happens if a retreat is cancelled?Each host publishes a cancellation and refund policy on the listing. It is shown before payment, not buried after it.https://retreats.plus/retreatsWhat does the host plan include?$99 per month plus 10% of seats sold gives you the full booking platform: seat sales, deposits, payment plans, a guest CRM, broadcast email, follow-up sequences and unlimited events under one profile.https://retreats.plus/host-a-retreatCan I run more than one retreat?Yes. A host profile can carry unlimited events, each with its own dates, pricing, capacity and public/private setting.https://retreats.plus/host-a-retreatCan I keep an event private?Yes. Every event has a public/private toggle. Private events do not appear on the public calendar, in category directories, in our posts or in our emails — you share the link yourself.https://retreats.plus/host-a-retreatDo you help fill the room?Yes. Demand generation is available through R0cketShip, PredictiveData and KeywordCalls, and it is the single most requested service on the platform.https://retreats.plus/host-a-retreatDo I need my own property?No. Most hosts do not own a venue. Browse destinations, or let us scout and contract one for you.https://retreats.plus/host-a-retreatWhat does the property plan include?$3,000 per month for unlimited bookings and no commission. That covers your full profile, photo gallery, video, downloadable PDF flyer, public availability calendar and placement across category, state and destination directories.https://retreats.plus/list-your-propertyDo you take a cut of my bookings?No. Property owners pay a flat monthly fee. What you book is yours.https://retreats.plus/list-your-propertyCan I upload my own photos and video?Yes. Upload unlimited images to your gallery, add a PDF flyer for download, and paste a Vimeo or YouTube link — we display the player, we do not host the file.https://retreats.plus/list-your-propertyCan I control which dates show as available?Yes. You manage your own calendar, and you decide whether it is publicly visible.https://retreats.plus/list-your-propertyCan I also list the property for sale?Yes. Any property can be cross-listed into Retreat Properties for Sale while it continues to take bookings.https://retreats.plus/list-your-propertyWhat is Retreat Properties for Sale?A marketplace for retreat-capable real estate — venues with the practice space, bed count, kitchen capacity and land that retreat groups require. Buyers here are shopping for a business, not a holiday home.https://retreats.plus/for-saleHow do I list my property for sale?Create an account, add the property, and enable the for-sale listing. You control the asking price, the financials you disclose and the photography.https://retreats.plus/for-saleCan I sell a property that is currently booking retreats?Yes, and a property with demonstrated retreat revenue typically sells faster. Bookings continue while it is listed.https://retreats.plus/for-saleDo you charge a commission on a sale?Listing is included in the property plan. Brokerage support is available separately if you want it.https://retreats.plus/for-saleAre the calculators free?Yes. Every tool runs in your browser, requires no account and stores nothing.https://retreats.plus/toolsHow accurate are the defaults?The pre-filled numbers are realistic mid-market figures for a week-long retreat of about eighteen guests. Replace them with yours — that is the point.https://retreats.plus/toolsWhich tool should I start with?If you are hosting, start with Break-Even Seats. If you own a property, start with Property ROI & Rate.https://retreats.plus/toolsDo I have to buy services to list on the platform?No. Services are entirely optional and priced separately from the property and host plans.https://retreats.plus/servicesWhat is the difference between Done-For-You and Done-With-You?Done-For-You is the entire retreat operated on your behalf — you bring the desire and lead the room. Done-With-You leaves the content and the audience relationship with you while we run everything underneath it.https://retreats.plus/servicesCan you help me fill a retreat that is already scheduled?Yes. Fill-the-room marketing is the most requested service we offer, and it works fastest when there is still runway before the start date.https://retreats.plus/servicesWho is the Startup Retreat for?Funded companies, companies actively raising, and operators ready to scale who are constrained by demand rather than by product.https://retreats.plus/startup-retreatWhat does it cost?$30,000 for the seven-day immersive, including technology and tools valued at $3,000 per month for twelve months.https://retreats.plus/startup-retreatWhat do I leave with?A working demand engine, the technology stack running against your actual business, and ninety days of implementation support — not a folder of notes.https://retreats.plus/startup-retreatWhich tools are included?KeywordCalls.com, PredictiveData.org and R0cketShip.com, for twelve months.https://retreats.plus/startup-retreatWhat are you looking for in a creator?Genuine audience overlap with retreat travel, a body of work we can look at, and a professional approach to deliverables. Follower count matters less than fit.https://retreats.plus/influencersDo I have to pay to use a property?Arrangements vary by property and season. Some are hosted, some are discounted, some are co-branded with a sponsor. Tell us what you are proposing.https://retreats.plus/influencersCan I bring a sponsor?Yes, and it strengthens the application considerably. There is a field on the form for a sponsor willing to co-host, co-pay or co-brand.https://retreats.plus/influencersWhat do you expect in return?Agreed content deliverables and permission to use them. We agree the specifics in writing before travel.https://retreats.plus/influencersWhat appears on the public calendar?Every retreat whose host has set it to public. Private events never appear here.https://retreats.plus/calendarCan I add my retreat to the calendar?Yes — create a host account, add your event, and switch it to public. It appears immediately and becomes eligible for our posts and emails.https://retreats.plus/calendarHow far ahead does the calendar run?As far as hosts have scheduled. Certification and mastermind programmes are frequently listed a year in advance.https://retreats.plus/calendarWhat is a yoga & movement retreat?Yoga retreats remain the largest single category in the retreat industry. They range from gentle weekend resets built around two daily practices to full 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings that run three to four weeks. The format travels well: a shala or shaded deck, a chef who understands plant-forward menus, and enough quiet for a group to actually drop in.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/yogaWhat is a wellness & spa retreat?Wellness retreats put recovery at the centre rather than instruction. Expect massage and bodywork, thermal circuits, generous unstructured time and food designed by someone who thinks about digestion. They suit properties with spa treatment rooms, sauna and cold plunge, and they attract guests with the highest willingness to pay per night in the category set.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/wellnessWhat is a meditation & silent retreat?Silent and meditation retreats trade amenities for atmosphere. What matters is acoustic separation, a dedicated hall, walking paths and a kitchen that can serve simply and on time. Partial-silence formats — silent mornings, speaking afternoons — have opened the category to people who would never book ten days of noble silence.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/meditationWhat is a breathwork & sound retreat?Breathwork and sound retreats are among the fastest-growing formats because they produce a strong felt experience in a short window, making two- and three-day events commercially viable. Rooms need warmth, floor space, blackout and a sound system that can carry low frequencies without rattling.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/breathworkWhat is a corporate offsites retreat?Corporate offsites are the most reliable revenue in the retreat industry: booked on company cards, planned quarters ahead and largely recession-durable. They demand different infrastructure — fibre internet, a room that seats everyone with AV, breakout space and invoicing that a finance department will accept.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/corporateWhat is a mastermind & business retreat?Masterminds are recurring by nature: the same group, three or four times a year, often for years. For a property that means predictable repeat occupancy. For a host it means the highest lifetime value per guest of any format, because the retreat is the delivery mechanism for an ongoing membership rather than a one-off sale.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/mastermindWhat is a startup & founder retreat?Founder retreats compress what would otherwise be a year of introductions and false starts into a single week. The value is not the venue — it is the room, the operators in it, and the systems the founders leave holding.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/startupWhat is a writers & creative retreat?Writing retreats are structurally simple and margin-friendly: guests want a desk, a view, silence until four o'clock and dinner they did not have to think about. Properties with separate casitas or cabins outperform, because writers will pay for a door that closes.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/writersWhat is a art & photography retreat?Art and photography retreats are led by the location as much as the instructor. Light, landscape and access to interesting subjects are the product. Photography retreats in particular have become a reliable shoulder-season filler because they follow good light rather than good weather.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/artWhat is a fitness & training camps retreat?Training camps bring structured, high-intensity days and guests who eat and sleep on a schedule. Properties need flat land or a gym footprint, volume catering and laundry that can keep up. Camps book early and rarely cancel.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/fitnessWhat is a surf & ocean retreat?Surf retreats are the original adventure-wellness hybrid and still one of the most searched. Consistency of the break matters more than luxury of the room — but the market has moved upmarket, and surf-and-spa now outsells surf-and-bunk-bed at nearly every price point.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/surfWhat is a adventure & expedition retreat?Adventure retreats use the property as a basecamp rather than a destination. Guests are out all day, which lowers wear on facilities and raises tolerance for remote locations. Logistics, guides and insurance are the real operating cost.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/adventureWhat is a longevity & biohacking retreat?Longevity retreats sit at the top of the price ladder and are the fastest-rising segment in the premium tier. They require measurable inputs — testing, wearables, protocol design — and guests who expect data at the end, not just a good feeling.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/longevityWhat is a women's circles retreat?Women's retreats fill faster than almost any other format and generate the strongest word of mouth, because the guest list becomes a network. Privacy, safety and a space that supports circle seating matter more than square footage.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/womensWhat is a men's work & brotherhood retreat?Men's retreats are typically shorter, more physical and more remote than their counterparts. Fire, cold water, hard work and a room where nobody is performing are the recurring ingredients.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/mensWhat is a couples & relationship retreat?Couples retreats need private rooms, private bathrooms and enough separation that a difficult conversation does not carry. Small guest counts and high per-couple pricing make them viable for properties that cannot host thirty people.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/couplesWhat is a family & multigenerational retreat?Family retreats fill shoulder seasons and school holidays and book the whole property at once. Range of bed types, a pool, and the ability to feed a wide age spread are what get the enquiry converted.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/familyWhat is a faith-based & spiritual retreat?Faith-based retreats are one of the largest and steadiest segments in North America, often organised annually by the same congregation. Budgets are moderate but occupancy is near total and the relationship recurs for years.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/faithWhat is a recovery & sober retreat?Sober and recovery-supportive retreats are growing alongside the wider sober-curious movement. They call for clear boundaries, no alcohol service, trained facilitation and discretion in how the event is listed publicly.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/recoveryWhat is a grief, loss & healing retreat?Grief retreats are small, deeply held and led by qualified facilitators. They are not a volume business, but they generate the most durable loyalty of any format and are frequently underwritten by foundations or employers.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/griefWhat is a culinary & wine retreat?Culinary retreats turn the kitchen from a cost centre into the attraction. A working garden, a kitchen guests are allowed inside, and a producer or vineyard within reach are what separate a credible culinary retreat from a hotel with good food.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/culinaryWhat is a dance & ecstatic movement retreat?Movement retreats need floor and sound above all else: a sprung or forgiving surface, ventilation, and a system that can run loud without disturbing anyone sleeping. They skew younger and travel in tight, repeat-booking communities.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/danceWhat is a martial arts & bjj retreat?Martial arts camps bring mats, volume food and two-a-day training. They are indifferent to décor and highly sensitive to floor space, ceiling height and proximity to medical care. Loyal, repeat and largely off-season.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/martialWhat is a digital detox & nature retreat?Digital detox retreats have turned weak connectivity from a liability into a selling point. What they require instead is genuine nature access, analogue activity and staff able to hold the boundary when a guest wants their phone back.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/digitaldetoxWhat is a farm, permaculture & regenerative retreat?Farm and permaculture retreats let a working property monetise what it already does. Guests pay to participate in the operation, and the certification formats — permaculture design in particular — come with fixed multi-week curricula and reliable enrolment.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/farmWhat is a equine & ranch retreat?Equine retreats pair naturally with leadership and therapeutic work because horses give immediate, unflattering feedback. They need stabling, insurance and qualified handlers, which limits supply and protects pricing.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/equineWhat is a teacher training & certification retreat?Certification retreats are the longest-staying bookings in the industry — two to four weeks in one place, planned a year out. For a property they are the single most valuable booking type available in a shoulder season.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/trainingWhat is a music & songwriting retreat?Music retreats need isolation and forgiving neighbours far more than they need a studio. Where a property can offer a recording space, it moves from commodity venue to destination and prices accordingly.https://retreats.plus/retreats/category/music
