Why We Exist
We are living in a Golden Age, a time of endless options, abundant experiences, and unparalleled access. And yet so many HNWIs like you find themselves overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected, craving something deeper and more meaningful, especially during your most precious downtime.
Retreats With Impact is the evolution of luxury travel, where high-net-worth individuals come not just to escape, but to feel like they have made a tangible difference and return home feeling transformed. Each retreat is a tapestry of off-the-beaten-path adventure, soulful luxury, and conscious philanthropy. We craft journeys for those who seek stillness amidst beauty, connection over consumption, and presence over performance.
This is travel with purpose, travelanthropy, where every detail is curated to inspire emotional, energetic, and spiritual renewal. Whether you're embracing community work in the heart of Lesotho or sharing breathwork beneath the African sky, these moments are not designed to impress but to awaken. Because these retreats are not about ticking destinations off a list. It’s about remembering who you truly are, through giving back, presence, and the wild, untamed beauty of the world.
Our Core Values
We don’t follow trends. We follow truth. These values guide every retreat we design, every partner we align with, and every experience we offer.
Purpose
Every journey is designed intentional impact and anchored in meaning.
We craft retreats with soul, always beginning with “why” and "how will this make a positive change?"
Each destination and each partner is chosen to inspire clarity, connection, and contribution.
Presence
Guests are invited to slow down, tune in, and reconnect.
True luxury is spaciousness. From silent sunrises to immersive breathwork under open skies, we invite you to fully arrive... in place, in body, in spirit.
Integrity
We lead with transparency, ethical partnerships, and respect for communities.
We are fiercely committed to conscious travel. That means fair wages, long-term impact, and genuine collaborations with changemakers on the ground.
Regeneration
We believe in giving back more than we take — to ourselves, others, and the planet.
Retreats with Impact, restores ecosystems, cultures, and souls. Regeneration isn’t a feature; it’s a foundation.
Connection
To self. To others. To the wild, rich beauty of the world.
We believe connection is the quiet heartbeat of transformation... the shared look of awe, the laughter around a long table, the stillness between strangers who suddenly feel like family.
Our retreats are crafted to create bonds that go beyond the itinerary:
- A sunrise walk where words fall away and hearts speak.
- A moment during community activity, when hands meet across cultures.
- A breath held under starlight, surrounded by others doing the same, together in stillness, seen and safe.
This is connection that transcends borders, titles, and timelines.
It’s remembering what matters most: shared stories, sacred spaces, and the humanity that unites us all.

Our Promise to You
This is not about travel for the sake of travel. This is not a 'fly and flop' cookie-cutter experience.
Your calendar is full, your energy is fractured, and though your life looks beautiful from the outside, inside, you’re craving stillness, space, and something that stirs your soul.
When was the last time you did something truly life-changing?
Retreats With Impact is a sanctuary for those who rarely pause, a sacred container where you can finally exhale. Here, rest isn’t a reward; it’s a right.
And being is the ultimate luxury.
Each retreat is gently curated to give you choice-based rest: permission to do less, nap more, wander solo, or gather in soulful conversation. This isn’t a boot camp or a performance. This is about remembering what it feels like to be in your body, in your breath, in your life, fully.
- We promise to honour your time, your trust, and your tender longing for something deeper.
- You will be cared for, not managed.
- You will be seen, not sold to.
- You will be guided, not pressured.
- Your transformation is yours alone — we simply hold the space.
- And when you leave, you won’t just feel rested. You’ll feel restored.
On our South Africa retreat, we are partnering with Eternal Flame Worldwide and Africa’s Gift, where we work directly with communities to address one of Lesotho’s most pressing health issues. More than 30% of Lesotho’s citizens have suffered health problems caused by smoke from traditional cooking methods, with children under five among the most affected.
Our retreats make a direct difference by:
- Guests personally contribute 60 cook bags while taking part in the production process.
- Each cook bag supports a family of 4–6 people, meaning our contributions from just one retreat, benefit over 3000 lives.
- These efforts will help free the cook—often women and mothers—from time poverty and protect her from the dangers of daily smoke inhalation.
Most of the rural population of Lesotho are subsistence farmers. To help them get the most out of their land Africa's Gift has established a teaching farm, demonstrating conservation agriculture, in the Malealea valley.
Our guests contribution makes a difference to community members’ lives through this upskilling of local farmers. As part of the retreat, we visit a teaching farm to see conservation agriculture in practice and the community school and kindergarten to connect with those whom these contributions are supporting.
