Whether you are booking your first retreat, or your tenth, $S offered awesome activities and workshops, set in a beautiful and peaceful environment. This was my first “solo” vacation and within minutes of being there, it no longer felt solo… I was greeted by welcoming hosts and an amazing group of women.

It was awesome from start to finish.” Amanda B., 5 Stars
