A 7-Day Luxury Coliving Experience for Location-Independent Founders

Coliving Retreat Structure
Morning
Movement & Meditation
Each day begins with intentional movement and meditation to anchor the body, steady the nervous system, and clear the mind. Sessions blend strength, mobility, yoga, breathwork, and guided stillness, adapted to the group and environment. Some mornings invite ocean swims or coastal walks, others remain grounded at the villa. The focus is not intensity for intensity’s sake, but cultivating presence, resilience, and regulated energy that carries into the rest of the day.
Afternoon
Cowork & Spaciousness
Afternoons are deliberately unstructured. This is time for focused work, quiet rest, poolside conversations, or solo exploration. Guests naturally flow between coworking, swimming, reading, or heading out to nearby beaches and villages. There are no mandatory sessions, just space to follow your own rhythm while remaining loosely connected to the group.
Evening
Casual Connection
Evenings unfold organically. Some nights we gather for relaxed group dinners, others might include walking into town, cooking together, or sharing a bottle of wine as the sun sets. Connection here is unforced and optional, conversations emerge naturally through shared experiences, without agendas, circles, or pressure to perform.
Weekend
Adventure
The weekend opens into exploration. Coastal hikes, boating, kayaking, long swims, or wandering medieval towns are all within easy reach. These days are designed for immersion in nature, culture, and presence, allowing friendships and memories to form through movement, discovery, and shared moments rather than structured programming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this retreat for?
Sanctum is designed for established founders, CEOs, creatives, and investors who are location independent, established or on a strong trajectory, and typically ages 30 to 45. It is for people who value depth over noise, autonomy over rigid structure, and environments with aligned energetics. This is not a party retreat or a personal development bootcamp. It is for those who want to live well, move their bodies, and connect organically with peers on a similar path.
What is included in the retreat?
Your stay includes accommodation at the private luxury villa, daily movement and meditation, access to coworking and shared spaces, and curated opportunities for group dinners, coastal walks, swims, and local exploration. The experience is intentionally light on formal programming and heavy on space, beauty, and presence.
What's not included?
Flights, airport transfers, most meals, and personal expenses are not included. Optional excursions such as boating or specific dining experiences may be organized organically and paid for individually. This retreat is designed to feel like real life, not an all inclusive package.
Do I need to know yoga or meditation?
Not at all. All movement and meditation practices are accessible and adaptable, whether you are new or experienced. The focus is on grounding, strength, and presence, not performance, flexibility, or prior knowledge.
Will I have free time?
Yes, a lot of it. Afternoons and many evenings are intentionally unstructured. You are free to work, rest, swim, explore, or spend time alone. This retreat prioritizes autonomy and spaciousness rather than full schedules.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many guests arrive solo. The environment is designed to support easeful, organic connection without pressure to socialize or participate in everything. Coming alone often allows for deeper presence and flexibility.
What is the average age of the participants?
The average age of our participants typically falls between 30 and 45. However, this is simply an average of those who have signed up, and we warmly welcome guests of all ages who feel aligned with the experience and community.

How many spots are available?
The group is intentionally small to preserve privacy, quality, and ease. Spots are limited to 8 people and offered on an application basis.

About Your Host
I’m Courtney, founder of Sanctum Village, and an entrepreneur who believes that how we live is just as important as what we build.
After building a successful, location-independent business, I found myself with the freedom I had worked toward, but craving something deeper. Not more strategy, not more hustle, but environments where ambition and wellbeing coexist, and where connection feels natural rather than forced.
I created Sanctum retreats as an extension of that philosophy. These experiences are not about instruction or performance, but about bringing the right people into the right setting. People who are established or on a strong trajectory, who value freedom, depth, and living well, and who understand that clarity often comes from space, movement, and presence rather than constant effort.
