Retreat FAQs

Thinking about joining an Energize Retreat? Here’s what to expect, how to plan your trip, and how much of the schedule you actually have to follow. (Spoiler: that part is up to you.)

Do I have to attend every class or workshop?

Nope. Come to whatever inspires you! Join every class, pick a few workshops, or sleep in and meet us later. All classes and workshops are optional. It’s your vacation, too.

Can I skip everything and still get the retreat rate?

Yes! You can book at the retreat rate and skip every scheduled activity. If your idea of a getaway is a good book, a pool chair, and zero plans, you’re welcome to come along.

What will we do on the retreat?

Every retreat has its own focus and agenda. One might center on yoga or Pilates, another might include fitness classes or meal planning workshops, and another might give you lots of time to relax. Check the individual retreat page to see what’s planned. All agendas are subject to change.

Who can come on an Energize Retreat?

Some retreats are for women only, some are open to adults only, and some welcome the whole family. Always check the individual retreat page before booking so you know who can join you.

What’s included on retreats outside the U.S.?

Every Energize Retreat outside the U.S. is held at an all-inclusive property. Your package includes your accommodations, all meals and drinks (including alcoholic beverages), and a complimentary upgrade to Preferred Club access. The retreat page lists any other inclusions specific to that trip.

Are U.S. retreats all-inclusive, too?

What’s included varies by retreat. Check the individual retreat page to see whether lodging, meals, and other extras are included in your package.

Are flights or transportation included?

No. Airfare and transportation, including transfers between the airport and your accommodations, are not included. You’ll arrange and pay for those separately.

When should I book my flights and transportation?

Wait until you receive your registration confirmation from Energize Retreats before booking airfare or transportation. Once you have it, double-check your arrival and departure dates against the package you booked.

Do you recommend trip insurance?

Yes, we highly recommend purchasing trip insurance. Compare policies so you understand what’s covered if you need to cancel, your trip is interrupted, or you need medical care while traveling. Your retreat fee is not refundable and not transferrable, therefore trip insurance is strongly recommended.

Can I come solo?

If you’d like to come on your own, check the retreat page for room options and occupancy requirements. If you don’t see an option that works for you, reach out before booking and we can talk through what’s available.

Where can I find deposit, payment, and cancellation details?

Full payment is due when you book your retreat. Occasionally, we offer early booking with a deposit. If you receive one of these offers, check the email for the deposit amount, the balance due date, and any terms specific to that offer.

If you cancel your reservation for any reason, payments you’ve already made are nonrefundable unless your booking offer states otherwise. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance.
