FLOW

At the heart of the experience is the open-air wellness environment at Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas, intentionally created to support a wide range of practices, from energizing sessions to slower, more restorative work.

Rather than feeling confined to a single studio, Cala Luna offers a dedicated wellness space that feels immersed in nature, giving your sessions a sense of privacy and presence that’s hard to replicate. The space works beautifully for both smaller, intimate groups and full retreat classes, with a calm, grounded energy throughout.

Beyond your sessions, the layout of the property naturally supports a rhythm between activity and ease. The spa, pool, gardens, and nearby beach all create opportunities for guests to reset, recharge, and connect in a way that feels organic rather than scheduled.

Your retreat package includes thoughtfully designed accommodations, daily meals made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and an environment that supports both energy and restoration, giving your group space to connect, recharge, and fully drop into the experience.

APPLY  

We’re so excited you’re interested in hosting at Cala Luna.

Our model is simple: you bring your community, and we handle the planning, logistics, and launch strategy that fills your retreat.

The process:
Once we receive your application, Jen will review and provisionally accept strong-fit hosts.

The next step is launching your priority waitlist to your community to confirm demand for your selected dates. We provide everything you need for this step, including messaging, timelines, and support.

Important: Opening your waitlist kicks off a focused two-week launch window. During this time, you should plan for ~5 hours per week to follow up with potential guests and drive enrollment.

After this initial launch period, planning becomes much more hands-off for the host.
