A note on pricing: Mar Vista is dedicated to delighting our guests with a restorative, holistic wellness experience—complete with fresh, local meals. As many have already experienced at our local grocery stores, we, too, are affected by the increased cost of food & general operations. Resultantly, the cost per participant for our Weekend Wellness Retreats will increase. The 2023 prices are listed above. Our team is here to answer any and all questions on this adjustment, so please reach out to us at hello@marvistafarmandcottages.com.
All activities are optional. There will also be private, mindful moments built into each day. Outside of the retreat schedule, you are welcome to participate in daily egg gathering & goat feeding. Garden Classes, private yoga, & massages are also available for an additional fee. Complimentary games, cards, books, & puzzles are available for use throughout your stay.
So many wonderful adventures await: wander through local art galleries, shops, & restaurants in downtown Gualala. You can access a variety of stunning beach hikes, notably Redwood hiking at Van Damme State Park or Salt Point State Park, within an hour’s drive along the rugged coastline. If you’re lucky, you can spot a whale along several local beach access points!
All registered retreat guests will be required to show proof of vaccination or negative PCR test taken within 72 hrs of arrival to Mar Vista. Please bring proof of your vaccination or negative test result with you when you check-in.
