Most retreats feel solid around 12–15 guests, and at 20+ you’re in a very healthy position, financially. That said, we’ve seen more intimate, high-ticket groups (8–14 guests) do extremely well too. It really comes down to your pricing and audience.

This is something every host thinks about. The goal is to structure your retreat in a way that minimizes risk from the start.
That includes smart pricing, proper timelines, and a focused promotion plan.
We’ll guide you through that so you’re not guessing & launch with a deposit model, so you’re not carrying costs upfront.
We only require 33% to reserve your dates, we offer the flexibility to reduce to an "Intimate Buy-Out" (releasing the back two villas), and can even help promote with Paid Ads as we get closer to your event date to ensure you hit your numbers.
* We do allow a 1-Time date rescheduling with a fee, if you feel you need to push the date back for emergency reasons, although we have found many guests will sign-up within the last 2-3 weeks of event promotion when they know their schedules.

While this is "Done-for-You" Logistically... there’s still effort involved on your end to make this a success.
Don't expect to just share a few posts and hope for the best.
You'll need to be strategic in following our 10-Week Launch Plan; creating an irresistible offer... designing event branding & content... and then Sharing Your Creation with Passion to Inspire your audience. Your main focus is inspiring people— then connecting in Costa Rica to deliver your experience. Keep in mind, other retreat guests always add so much value and connection to the on-site experience, so don't let that part overwhelm you. That's the really fun part!

If done right - yes, and it’s not even a close call. A retreat isn’t just revenue (which can be significant), it’s depth.
You build meaningful relationships, create unforgettable moments, generate premium content, and often open the door to higher-ticket offers on the back end. For many hosts, one well-executed retreat outperforms months of traditional online selling—not just financially, but in long-term brand value.

Yes! ...and that’s one of the biggest reasons experienced hosts choose the Amanti Resort.
Between the Private Boutique Resort feel, the natural setting, and the intentional design of the seamless experience, your retreat won’t feel like a hotel stay or a summer camp - it will feel like something curated and special.
That distinction matters when you’re positioning higher-ticket offers.
We'll make you look good!
