Our Guests' Experience
The villa is a dream!! We had a sweet wellness focused, girls weekend here. I will most definitely be back to host a retreat here! The villa is luxury meets an earthy spiritual feel. We had a group of 12 people but at not point did we feel crowded. The backyard is so comfy, we just hung out by the pool the entire day. Our beds were super comfy and I was also impressed by how spacious the bathrooms are, so a few gals can get ready at the same time. Labrinth circle and fire pit at the front of the home are amazing bonus! All this to say you’ll have everything you need to indulge in the Restoration of the desert.

BEST HOSTS / VILLA EVER!
Just hosted our 5 night - all women’s retreat. We were 14 total and had the most beautiful time. Genuinely the most spacious home with more than enough space and corners to feel like a true RETREAT. The beds were so comfy, the bathrooms were super spacious and the place was spotless clean! The outdoor and indoor (fully stocked!) yoga shalas are beautiful. The new pool with waterfall is incredible. There’s also cold plunges and a grill outside. The living room was my favorite room as you could feel all the energy and magic from the previous guests. A truly magical home to rest, connect, eat, heal, laugh and get away from the noise. This felt like my happy place - connected with the hosts who are so kind and kept checking in. We will be hosting yearly!

I got to host my first retreat with this beautiful home and I would totally do it again. Everyone that stayed here really enjoyed the scenic views and all the amenities and space that this place offered. So many nooks and spots to relax and getaway. I’m just disappointed I didn’t book more time. The hosts were so accommodating and were such a great help with everything. The yoga room has all the yoga needs one could ask for perfect for doing sound baths :)
