More than a place to practice

A good retreat is felt
between sessions, too.

Room to rest, time to talk, and meals that bring everyone back together.

Breakfast at the long wooden table

Come hungry. Stay a while.

Three meals a day are included in our hosted retreat package, with menus planned around your group.

Breakfast with fresh tropical fruit

Hospitality you can taste.

Colorful plates, generous shared meals, and one less thing for a retreat host to organize.

The dining table set for a group meal

A table made for memories.

First names become familiar faces. One more story turns into one more hour. There’s always a reason to stay at the table.

The river valley beside Synergy
The river is part of the place

There’s another rhythm
just beyond the gardens.

Follow the path to the river. Find a seat among the trees. Between practice, meals, and time with your group, there’s room to step away and listen.

What are the three ways to stay?

Host a retreat with meals and planning support, reserve the whole property for your group, or book an individual stay on selected dates between retreats.

Explore the calendar
When is the property available, and how can I check dates?

Check our interactive calendar for current availability. Choose Host a retreat, Full property buyout or Book individual stay, then select your check-in and check-out dates. You can also browse Upcoming retreats to find a retreat to join. Availability depends on your stay type and the full length of your stay; dates are checked again before booking.

Check the interactive calendar
How is a hosted retreat different from a property buyout?

Both give your group exclusive use of Synergy. Hosted retreats include three meals a day, housekeeping, a coordinated group arrival pickup and planning support. A property buyout gives you the venue, with meals and additional services arranged separately.

Explore hosted retreats
Can I book just one room?

Yes, on selected dates between retreats and private group bookings. Check the individual-stay calendar for released availability; an empty public retreat calendar does not mean rooms are available to book.

Check individual stay dates
