What Casa Retreats Is
A week shaped less by what happens inside it
than by how it is held.
Casa exists in the space between luxury hospitality and grounded wellness. Carefully chosen homes, reserved exclusively for the group, a few weeks a year. Founder-led. Design-led.
Casa does not promise transformation. It promises permission.
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 thoughtfully designed week in a private home, reserved exclusively for the group. Yoga, nature, food, and hospitality woven into the rhythm of each day. The details change depending on where we are.
01
Mexico · Sian Ka'an Biosphere
Casa Maya Ka'an
A sunrise practice above the Caribbean Sea inside the Sian Ka'an UNESCO biosphere. The walk into the ocean after a traditional temazcal, looking up to find nothing but stars.

02
France · Aveyron · Causses et Cévennes
L'Esprit d'Almières
A historic private estate inside the UNESCO Causses et Cévennes biosphere. The Tarn River drifting beneath limestone cliffs. Mornings of mist lifting from the Aveyron countryside, a Nordic bath warming in the cold air.

03
Costa Rica · Uvita · Pacific Coast
Art Villas
An architectural villa collection on Costa Rica's Pacific coast — each villa the work of a different architect, set into the jungle above the ocean. A practice with no soundtrack but the wind and the canopy. Cold plunges and morning hikes.

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.
Is Casa a yoga retreat?
Yoga is part of every Casa retreat, but it is not the product. The product is a thoughtfully designed week in an extraordinary private home — yoga, nature, food, and hospitality woven into the rhythm of each day. Practice if you want. Skip a session without explanation.
Do I need to be experienced in yoga?
No. Casa is designed for real people with real bodies and different levels of practice. Yoga is offered as an invitation, not an expectation.
What is Casa Retreats?
Casa Retreats hosts small-group luxury yoga and wellness retreats in private homes around the world. Founded by Lauren Coleman, Casa exists in the space between luxury hospitality and grounded wellness — designed for depth, not spectacle. Each retreat is reserved exclusively for the group, with daily yoga led by senior teachers, considered food at a long table, and unhurried time in nature.
Where does Casa host retreats?
Casa currently hosts retreats in France, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Portugal. New destinations are added quietly each year. The next France retreat takes place July 8–13, 2026 at L'Esprit d'Almières, a private estate in the Aveyron inside the UNESCO Causses & Cévennes biosphere. Mexico retreats take place inside the Sian Ka'an UNESCO biosphere. Costa Rica retreats take place on the Pacific coast.
What does a Casa retreat include?
Accommodations in a private home reserved exclusively for the group. Daily yoga led by senior teachers. Considered food at a long table, prepared by chefs we trust. Time in nature. Curated cultural experiences. Local transportation as outlined for each destination. Each week is intentionally designed — with shape, but never urgency. Pricing varies by destination; France 2026 begins at €4,900.
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?
Lauren Coleman — yoga teacher since sixteen, former Chanel Sales specialist (corporate office, New York), lifelong traveler. After years between wellness and luxury fashion, she built Casa to occupy the space between them: intentional without pressure, elevated without pretension, restorative without promises of transformation.
