It is always a combination of both! If you are nervous to come solo, know that there will be others and it's a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and make new friends! These new friends will quickly feel like family.

If you would like privacy and time to yourself I recommend booking a private/single accommodation. If you prefer to share with other solo travelers, I do my best to pair participants up in the available shared rooms.

Because retreat payments are non-refundable, I strongly recommend travel insurance to cover your investment, unforeseen circumstances, and give you peace of mind. You never know what could come up!
If you opt to pass on travel insurance, your investment is bound by the terms and conditions of IFY Retreats. View our favorite travel insurance companies HERE.
