4 Days That Could Change Everything Between You

Luxe Couples Retreat is a therapist-led luxury experience for couples who are ready to stop drifting apart and start choosing each other again. Set in a private coastal home steps from Vilano Beach and minutes from historic St. Augustine, this 4-day retreat blends evidence-based relationship work with curated luxury experiences.

Unlike a typical couples vacation, every element of this retreat is designed with intention — from guided connection sessions led by licensed therapists to private exercises that help you practice new patterns of communication and intimacy in real time.

With only 3–6 couples accepted, you’ll receive the personalized attention, safe space, and meaningful connection that larger retreats simply can’t offer.

Who Is This For?

  • Couples feeling emotionally disconnected who want to re-establish closeness
  • Partners navigating life transitions, stress, or growing apart
  • Couples looking to strengthen communication, trust, and emotional intimacy
  • Partners ready to level up and grow together in a luxurious, inspiring setting
  • Couples wanting an experience deeper than a typical getaway

Note: Luxe is not designed for couples currently navigating active betrayal or crisis. This retreat is for partners looking to build on an existing foundation with honesty, effort, and intention.

Preeminent researcher, John Gottman, Ph.D. advises couples to get away 3-4 times a year. What’s more, couples who travel together have a better sex life and more romance in their relationships than couples who don’t travel together. In a study by Travel and Leisure, 28% of couples reported improved sex lives after traveling together, and of those, 40% reported their sex lives are permanently better since traveling.

You should attend our luxury couples retreat if you’d like to:

  • Reprioritize your relationship
  • Feel closer than you have in a long time
  • Experience greater fulfillment and intimacy
  • Restore lost love or connection
  • Make lasting positive memories
  • Rediscover each other

Luxe Couples Retreat is designed for couples who want more than a beautiful trip. It combines the ease of a private beachside getaway with the structure, guidance, and relationship tools most vacations simply do not provide.

You are not left to plan everything yourself or hope that time away will fix what feels disconnected. The retreat is intentionally designed for you, with private accommodations, curated experiences, and therapist-led sessions that help you slow down, reconnect, and understand each other more clearly.

What makes Luxe different is the combination: a romantic vacation setting, expert relationship guidance, and practical tools you can keep using long after the retreat ends.

The core retreat experience includes group sessions guided by licensed therapists, but that doesn’t mean sharing your private story with the group. You’ll never be pressured to speak about anything you’re not comfortable with. The focus is on learning new tools, exploring relationship dynamics, and gaining insight in a supportive, guided environment.

We intentionally keep our sessions very small and intimate. You’ll engage in fun activities, learning top research-based skills to enhance your relationship. Don’t worry, you won’t have to share any details of your relationship with anyone else.

During the retreat, you’ll attend small, intimate group sessions in the morning, led by Dr. Tabitha Johnson, a nationally-renowned couple and relationship expert. These sessions last 60-90 minutes and are designed to enhance your relationship and help you better connect to your partner.

We’ll cover topics like sex and intimacy, emotional connection, how to break through barriers in conflict, and how to protect your relationship over the long haul.

The nearest major airport is Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) — approximately 1 hour away by car. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is also an option, located about 2 hours away. Transportation is not included, but we’re happy to provide recommendations.

If you have children, a “couple’s vacation” can give your children an important message that your marriage matters and that you treat it with importance and respect in terms of time, money, commitment, and focus. Kids often enjoy the time away from parents also, especially if they get to spend time with relatives they like.

Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to check in and talk to your children while you reconnect with your spouse on the couples retreat.

During the retreat, you’ll engage in fun activities, learning top research-based skills to enhance your relationship. You will receive exciting take-away activities for you and your partner to talk about and work on together. From these activities, you should see the immediate impact.

In addition, you’ll gain useful tools to utilize in your daily life to improve your relationship. These resources will help you long after you return home from your luxury retreat.

Most couples spend thousands of dollars on vacations hoping time away will help them reconnect. Luxe Couples Retreat gives you the beauty and ease of a private beachside getaway, plus something a typical vacation cannot provide: guided support, practical relationship tools, and dedicated time to work on the patterns that keep creating distance.

Your reservation includes more than accommodations and curated experiences. It includes therapist-led guidance designed to help you communicate more clearly, feel closer again, and leave with tools you can continue using long after the retreat ends.

For many couples, the value is not just the four days away. It is what those four days make possible when you return home: more connection, more understanding, and a stronger foundation for the life you are building together.

Due to the small group size and planning involved, cancellations made more than 30 days prior to the retreat are eligible for a partial refund. Inside 30 days, bookings are non-refundable but may be transferred to a future retreat if space allows.
