About Us
The people behind your retreat
Talk to One
Person. Not
to One Thousand.
We started Retreat Venues DR because we saw retreat leaders drowning in logistics. Miscommunications, cultural nuances, and the need to coordinate dozens of moving pieces — all on top of daily life — were draining their time, energy, and creativity.
We support retreat leaders by simplifying every step of the retreat-planning journey in the Dominican Republic. From venue selection and retreat program localization to logistics and on-the-ground support, we handle the details so retreat leaders can focus on delivering a powerful experience.
Our purpose is to help create healing spaces for those who need them, to bring well-being closer to people, and at the same time to showcase the natural and human treasures that the Dominican Republic has to offer.
How We Work
Curated, Not Listed
Every property is personally inspected and selected for its ability to elevate the retreat experience — not just host it.
One Point of Contact
No vendor juggling, no comparison shopping. One conversation with someone who knows the destination intimately.
Experience-First
We design around moments, not room counts. Cave yoga, whale watching, sound healing — the activities that transform a trip into a journey.
Meet Your Guides
Isabel Martínez
With a background in hospitality management and a decade living across the Dominican Republic, Isabel founded Retreat Venues DR to bridge the gap between international retreat leaders and the island's extraordinary venues. She personally inspects every property in the collection.
Daniel Herrera
A marine biologist turned experience curator, Daniel designs the activity programs that make each retreat unique. From whale watching excursions to cacao ceremonies, he works with a network of local guides and artisans across all five destinations.
Carolina Reyes
Carolina is the single point of contact every retreat leader relies on. She coordinates ground transportation, vendor relationships, last-minute changes, and on-the-ground support to ensure every detail runs seamlessly from arrival to departure.
