Book your retreat
with full confidence
On Retiru you won't find just any retreat: we verify every organizer, protect your payment and support you throughout the process.
Your guarantees when booking with Retiru
We leave nothing to chance. Every booking on Retiru comes with protections you won't find if you book directly or through social media.
We've designed every step of the process with your peace of mind in focus: from organizer verification to payment escrow, plus a support team that responds fast and accompanies you from start to finish.
Secure escrow payment
Your money is held safely until the retreat is confirmed. The organizer doesn’t receive your payment until minimum conditions are met.
We use Stripe as our payment gateway and an escrow system that keeps funds locked until the event meets the requirements to go ahead. If something goes wrong, you receive an automatic refund without having to file a claim.
Verified events
Every retreat goes through a review process: we verify the organizer’s identity and documents, and approve the content before it goes live.
We check identity, business registration, civil liability insurance and tax details. Then our editorial team reviews photos, schedule and description to ensure information is accurate and high quality.
Dedicated support
Our team is with you before, during and after booking. Chat, email and personalized attention.
You’re never on your own: if you have questions about a retreat, need to change dates or encounter any issue, our support team responds quickly and liaises with the organizer on your behalf when needed.
Transparent cancellation policy
Every retreat displays its cancellation terms upfront. If you’re entitled to a refund, you receive the full amount.
Before paying you can see exactly what happens if you cancel: deadlines, percentages and refund method. If the organizer cancels the retreat, you receive 100% of your payment back with zero additional steps.
Book on your own or with Retiru?
Finding a retreat directly on social media or via bank transfer may seem cheaper, but it lacks the guarantees that protect your investment and your experience.
With Retiru you pay by card, your money is held until the retreat is confirmed, and a support team watches over you. If something goes wrong, you don't have to chase anyone: we handle the refund for you.

What Retiru offers you
Every detail is designed so your only concern is enjoying the experience.
Retiru brings verification, protected payment, authentic reviews and a curated selection together in one place. So you don't have to do your own research or trust blindly: everything is designed so you book with total confidence.
Verified organizers
Identity, business registration, civil liability insurance and tax details — all checked by our team.
Before publishing any retreat we documentarily verify the organizer. This eliminates scams, improvised experiences and the "is this legit?" feeling that comes with social-media bookings.
One payment, no surprises
You pay the price shown on the listing. No hidden fees, no bank transfers to strangers.
The price on the listing is the total: accommodation, meals and activities as described. You pay by card via Stripe and receive your invoice by email. Zero dodgy transfers, zero Venmo-ing strangers.
Authentic reviews
Only people who actually attended can leave a review. Ratings reflect real experiences.
Our verified review system prevents fake opinions: it’s only enabled after attendance is confirmed. So you can compare retreats with total confidence in the scores.
Minimum group guarantee
For retreats with a minimum group size, your spot is held at no cost until the minimum is reached.
Reserve your spot for free. If the minimum is reached you receive a payment link; if not, you pay nothing and the reservation is released automatically. Zero risk, zero upfront commitments.
Curated selection
We don’t publish everything: we filter and verify so you find the best experiences.
Not just any retreat makes it onto Retiru. Our team evaluates every proposal (organizer, program, location and quality) before approving it. The result: a quality selection where you can browse, filter and compare without wasting time on unreliable options.
