Casa Retreats · Founded 2023
A carefully held week
in a private home.
Small-group luxury yoga and wellness retreats in private homes worth traveling for.
France · Mexico · Costa Rica · Portugal · Greece
New locations added each year. Few. Considered.
Upcoming Retreats →Casa Retreats is a founder-led luxury yoga and wellness retreat company founded in 2023 by Lauren Coleman. Retreats began in 2025 and have since been hosted in Mexico at Casa Maya Ka'an, Costa Rica at Art Villas, and France at L'Esprit d'Almières. In 2027, Casa returns to L'Esprit d'Almières in France and adds Amaria near Odeceixe on Portugal's Costa Vicentina; Greece is forthcoming. Each small-group retreat takes place in a private home or exclusive-use estate, with considered movement, food, nature, and unhurried time.
01 / Who it's for
For people who care
how a week is spent.
Some come because they're tired in the quiet way modern life makes people tired. Some come for the practice. Some come because they love beautiful places and want to spend a week inside one. Some come for the people they'll meet across a long table.
For some it is one of these. For most, it is more than one at once.

What they share is more difficult to name. An attention to texture. A preference for the felt over the announced. An understanding that the best weeks are built not around what happens, but around how it is held.
The common thread is not age, profession, or experience level. It is the recognition of having been thought of.
Casa Retreats guests are based primarily in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Washington DC, Miami, Austin, Denver, Boulder, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Toronto, Vancouver, and London. Most are senior professionals, founders, creative directors, doctors, lawyers, and the partners of one — 34 to 58, all genders, traveling solo, as couples, or with friends.
Why Casa Retreats Exists — Founder Story by Lauren Coleman
02 / Origin Why Casa exists
Casa began at a retreat in Tulum.
The welcome letter was printed on plain office paper. The setting was genuinely beautiful — open sky, morning heat, a kind of orchestrated wildness. On the first night, we stood in a circle holding hands, and I kept waiting for some quality of presence that hadn't quite arrived.
The location was beautiful. The experience felt hollow.
I had been teaching yoga since I was sixteen. Years in luxury fashion — at Chanel's corporate office in New York City — where I learned that a single quiet detail can communicate more than any logo.
I had stayed in beautiful hotels and attended retreats around the world, and kept walking away with the same feeling: the wellness industry and the hospitality industry were somehow missing each other.
Not wellness. Not luxury hospitality.— Lauren Coleman, Founder & Creative Director
The space between them.
CA·SA The Casa Way
Three things,
considered carefully.
Every Casa retreat is different. The home changes. The landscape changes. The people around the table change. The principles remain the same.
Every retreat begins with the home — chosen for the way people soften inside it. Private. Surrounded by nature. Far enough from noise that the pace of a day can finally drop.
Yoga, breathwork, mobility, recovery — taught by senior teachers with decades inside their craft. Join everything. Skip something. Rest when you need to.
Enough structure to feel held. Enough space to wander, linger over dinner, read beside the pool, take a longer walk, or do nothing at all.
03 / The Week
What a Casa week is.
Most retreat companies begin with a schedule.
Casa begins with a feeling.
A place chosen for how it feels, held entirely for a small group for the week.
The details change depending on where we are.
The care does not.
2027 / Where we're going
Three places. One Casa rhythm.
Each place changes the shape of the week. The landscape. The season. What draws us outside. How we move, where we gather, and what is left deliberately open.
Odeceixe · Costa Vicentina · Portugal
Portugal, in spring.
On the wild southwest coast, where the landscape opens toward the Atlantic and trails run through the Costa Vicentina.
Two senior teachers, with mornings and evenings moving between yoga, breathwork, functional movement and time in the cold.
And then space around it. The trails. The wood-burning sauna. The saltwater pool. Time outside, time alone, and afternoons intentionally left open enough to follow the day where it goes.

Akrotiri · Zakynthos · Ionian Sea
Greece, at the end of summer.
Two contemporary villas built into an olive-covered hillside, with private pools, quiet terraces and the Ionian Sea below.
Morning movement. A swim after breakfast. Lunch that runs later than expected. An afternoon stretched out beside the pool, a book left open in the sun. There is plenty of time here with nothing planned for it.
And then days that take us further. Seven hours on a private yacht, following the coastline of Zakynthos from the water. Time beyond the villas to see the quieter, less touched edges of the island.

Aveyron · Southern France
Back to Almières.
A historic stone estate above the Tarn River, surrounded by limestone cliffs and the open countryside of the Aveyron.
Morning movement as the mist lifts from the valley. Walks through the surrounding landscape. A Nordic bath warming in the cool air. Sauna, massage, long seasonal meals and evenings that seem to get quieter as the week goes on.
We came here once and knew we would return.

Places we've shared before.
04 / The Standard
The standard is felt,
not architectural.
The first time I walked the property at Casa Maya Ka'an — the home where Casa began — something settled in my body before my mind caught up. The light. The silence. The way the landscape held the house. Nobody had to explain what I was supposed to feel.
That became the test. Not the photography. Not the price. Not how a property would perform on Instagram.
Does this place make people exhale?
Crafted for presence, not performance.
// Intentional spaces. Thoughtful hospitality. Human at scale. Intimate in feel.
05/ Guests
In their words.
Reflections from guests on the care, ease, and quiet attention that shape a Casa week.
“I didn’t have to plan a thing — everything was so thoughtfully taken care of, and the week unfolded in a way that just felt right. It felt like an all-inclusive vacation without the corporate or manufactured vibe of a traditional resort — personal, easy, and truly special.”
“Casa Retreats delivered a truly elevated and intentional luxury retreat experience. Every detail — from the stunning accommodations and curated welcome packages to seamless logistics, private chefs, and thoughtfully planned excursions — was handled with care and professionalism.”
“Every detail was thoughtfully crafted. Every experience was beautifully created. Every moment stirred positive emotions of gratitude. I started the trip with people I didn’t know and left with friendships I will have and cherish forever.”
“From the intentional yoga practices and amazing teachers, to the breathtaking property and shared meals, everything felt thoughtfully curated. This retreat gave us space to slow down, reconnect, and experience something unique together.”
“Every detail was meticulously addressed — from the lodging to the nourishing meals to the yoga — it surpassed every expectation.”
The questions we hear most.
What is Casa Retreats?
Casa Retreats creates small-group luxury yoga and wellness retreats in extraordinary private homes around the world. Founded by Lauren Coleman, Casa sits somewhere between luxury hospitality and grounded wellness — considered without being precious, restorative without asking you to become someone new. Each retreat brings together movement, beautiful places, thoughtful food, nature, and the kind of time that is increasingly difficult to find.
What makes Casa different from other luxury retreats?
Casa does not take place in hotels or shared retreat centers. We choose private homes, estates, and villas and reserve them exclusively for a small group. The experience is shaped around the place rather than imposed on it — with experienced teachers, considered food, local relationships, and enough structure to make the week feel effortless without filling every hour.
There is no transformation agenda and no pressure to participate in everything. Casa is less about escaping your life than spending a week exceptionally well.
Is Casa a yoga retreat?
Yoga is part of every Casa retreat, but it is not the whole experience. Movement gives the week a rhythm alongside nature, food, rest, exploration, and time together. Practice if you want. Skip a session without explanation. The point is not to perfect a practice — it is to have the space to enjoy one.
Do I need to be experienced in yoga?
No. Casa is designed for real people with real bodies and different levels of experience. Our teachers know how to work with the room in front of them, whether yoga has been part of your life for years or you have barely practiced at all. Movement is offered as an invitation, not an expectation.
Where does Casa host retreats?
Casa hosts retreats across France, Portugal, Greece, Mexico, and Costa Rica. We are actively exploring new destinations each year while returning to places and people with whom we have built meaningful relationships.
Some destinations become part of Casa's rhythm; others may appear only once. What matters is not adding places for the sake of it, but finding homes, landscapes, and local partners that allow us to create something genuinely worth traveling for.
What does a Casa retreat include?
Each retreat is different, but the foundation is consistent: accommodations in a private home reserved for the group, daily movement led by experienced teachers, thoughtful meals, time in nature, and experiences chosen specifically for the destination. Local transportation and additional inclusions vary by retreat and are clearly outlined on each destination page.
The week has shape, but never urgency — enough is taken care of that you can stop thinking about what comes next.
Pricing varies by destination, property, room and occupancy, and the experiences included in each week. Casa retreats typically begin around €5,000 per person and increase from there. Groups remain intentionally small so that the experience stays personal, considered, and true to the place.
Who is Casa for?
Casa is for people who know the difference. Not because they have traveled everywhere. Not because they practice yoga every day. Because they care how a week feels. They appreciate beautiful places, thoughtful hospitality, meaningful movement, good food, and unhurried conversation.
Some arrive alone. Some come with friends, partners, or family. Ages, backgrounds, and life stages vary widely. The common thread is simple: they are looking for a different way to spend their time.
Who is Casa not for?
Casa is not for anyone looking for a healing journey, a spiritual awakening, a transformational intensive, a coaching program, a packaged tour, or a heavily programmed itinerary. Casa was not built for people who want to be changed. It was built for people who don't need to be.
Who founded Casa Retreats?
Casa was founded by Lauren Coleman — a yoga teacher since sixteen, former Chanel Sales Specialist in New York, and lifelong traveler. After years moving between wellness, luxury fashion, hospitality, and travel, she created Casa to occupy the space between them: intentional without pressure, elevated without pretension, and restorative without promises of transformation.
