Yes – over 70% of our guests travel solo. It’s a lovely way to meet new people, make meaningful connections, and feel part of the Ana Gouveia community.

No – if you are happy to share, we’ll pair you with another solo travel. If you’d prefer your own space, you are welcome to book a private room.

We recommend waiting until your retreat is confirmed, usually 10 weeks before departure. If you book earlier, please choose flexible or refundable fares. Ana Gouveia cannot refund travel costs due to changes in retreat arrangements.

We research the best travel options for each retreat and will send you suggested flights and fares when you book. You’ll then need to make your own arrangements.

We can arrange airport transfers for all retreats. Depending on the location, this may be a private taxi or a shared vehicle. We aim to reduce our carbone footprint by arranging shared transfers whenever possible.

Depending on your nationality and the retreat destination, you may need a visa or specific travel documents. We’ll let you know what’s required for your chosen retreat, and we’re happy to guide you through the process if you need support.

In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your retreat, you’ll be offered a full refund or the option to transfer your booking to another retreat. We always do our best to provide a smooth and fair solution.

Some of our retreat locations are remote, with limited Wi-Fi or phone signal – part of the magic, we think. We’ll always let you know in advance what to expect so you can prepare accordingly.

We work wit carefully chosen boutique properties – from eco-retreats in remote wilderness locations to design-led hotels in vibrant cultural centres. Some are luxurious in the traditional sense, others are more simple and earthy, but all are selected for their confort, characther, and connection to place.

We create seasonal menus using local, responsibly sourced ingredients. We serve a variety of vegetarian dishes, grain bowls, vegetable stir-fries, hearty soups, all design to nourish and energize participants.

All of our retreats are alcohol free. We believe in creating spaces that support clarity, connection, and deep-rest – and keeping our retreats alcohol free is a key part of that. If you’re looking for a retreat where wine is part of the experience, ours may not be the right fit.
