Relax & Enjoy

Cell service can be spotty. The pace of the island is so relaxed that most forget to look at their phones, except to snap a pic.

Adventure, If You Dare

Catalina is home to a wide range of tours and activities, from eco-tours through the hills, to escape rooms, there’s an adventure for you.

CATALINA ISLAND

Close to Home, a World Away…

Just 22 miles off the Southern California coast, Catalina Island feels like you’ve slipped into another world…quaint streets, ocean air, and time that moves a little more slowly. And yet, it’s remarkably easy to reach: about an hour by ferry, or 15 minutes by helicopter, from the mainland. That mix of escape + ease is exactly why we host our couples retreat here.

TAKE A MOMENT

Why Catalina Works for Connection

Quaint, walkable Avalon: Golf carts hum, palm fronds sway, and colorful cottages line the bay. The calm pace helps you slow down and actually be with each other.

Small-town charm, big natural beauty: Turquoise coves, rolling hills, and starry night skies set the stage for presence, honesty, and play.

Far, but not too far: An hour across the channel creates enough distance from daily life without the stress of long travel days.

The Feel of the Place…

Catalina invites you to slow down. Morning ocean light, afternoon island breezes, and starlit evenings make it easy to drop your guard, talk honestly, and rediscover each other. Between guided workshop time, you’ll find intimate corners for coffee, shoreline walks, and those long, overdue conversations.

MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME

What You’ll Love Doing Together…

Mindful adventures – harbor walks, scenic overlooks, or a simple beach sit to watch the boats drift

Partner & acro-yoga moments that build trust and playfulness

Island bites & cozy cafés perfect for lingered lunches and evening treats

Golden-hour pauses – the kind that turn into inside jokes and new rituals

And for those looking to boost the WOW factor in their free time….

Ocean adventure tours – kayak or paddleboard the bay, snorkel Catalina’s kelp forests, parasail over the ocean waves, or hop on a glass-bottom boat or wildlife cruise

Land adventure tours – zipline eco course, guided hikes to scenic overlooks, e-bike or golf-cart explorations, or an off-road eco tour through the island interior

Helicopter tours – soar over Avalon Bay and the island’s rugged interior for sweeping coastline views (and a thrilling, time-saving transfer option)

Choose Catalina if you want:

Nature at your doorstep – a backdrop that nudges you toward curiosity, courage, and connection

A true getaway without complicated travel

A quaint, intimate setting that supports presence and honesty
