🎉 Introducing... The Retreat Collection by Travel Kinship

There are places in the world that seem to invite something different from us.

Places where time stretches, where nature leads the rhythm of the day, and where the experience of being there feels quietly restorative rather than stimulating. Places designed not to impress, but to hold. It’s this shared sensibility that inspired the creation of ​"The Retreat Collection" by Travel Kinship.​ The Collection brings together a carefully considered portfolio of nature-led lodges, villas, eco retreats and boutique properties across the globe. Each one is defined by its landscape, shaped by thoughtful design, and grounded in a belief that restoration comes most naturally when guests are given time, space and a genuine connection to place.

As travellers increasingly seek slower journeys, longer stays and environments that support both wellbeing and perspective, these properties feel especially relevant. They’re places that do not demand attention, but reward presence.

In this launch edition, we introduce ​The Retreat Collection,​ beginning with three properties that reflect its nature-led, restorative approach across different landscapes.

Places That Invite You To Slow Down

There are places in the world with a certain kind of magic; where the senses are quietened, where bustle is traded for birdsong and where schedules are swapped for the time to truly kick back and recalibrate. Seeking out these special stays - and making them easily available to you and your clients - is the inspiration behind our new ​Retreat Collection​, a conscious selection of nature lodges, eco-lodges, villas, luxury glamping and boutique hotels across the globe. With each one defined by its breathtaking setting and luxe feel, they’re also shaped by a shared belief in the restorative power of landscapes, beautiful design and time to breathe - offering a collective take on wellness & active travel that’s perfectly grounded, deliciously immersive and deeply connected to its surroundings. Here, we’re thrilled to introduce three standout properties from the Collection, taking us from luxury glamping in Central America through a private villa sanctuary in Costa Rica to a mountain lodge perched between forested hills and snow-capped peaks in Nepal.

Let’s explore…

Central America | Beyond Expeditions

Safari-Style Luxury in Guatemala, Belize & Panama - Beyond Expeditions

We begin in Central America, where ​Beyond Expeditions​ from ​Viaventure DMC​ are redefining glamping as a way of unlocking the wonder of the wild for high-end travellers. Delivering an experience that’s beautifully appointed, quietly adventurous and utterly immersed within its surroundings, these safari-style mobile luxury camps are designed to bring your guests into close contact with some of the region’s most fascinating sights while leaving the lightest possible footprint. Each camp is set with intention, its position chosen for both views and mood: an unspoilt volcano view, a rainforest clearing, a plaza between ancient temples. And alongside the natural drama of Central America comes the utmost in comfort; oversized tents with proper beds and eco-bathrooms, yes with hot showers, and private camp chefs serving up fresh, locally inspired meals with proper table and glassware. These transformative journeys are shaped by ​Viaventure’s​ decades of on-the-ground expertise, alongside meaningful support for local communities, conservation efforts and grassroots initiatives, making them ideal for well-travelled clients seeking both purpose and story.

Costa Rica | Villa Kanik

Secluded, Nature-Led Villa Escape in Southern Costa Rica - Villa Kanik

For those seeking to be sequestered somewhere lush, private and indulgent, it’s hard to beat ​Villa Kanik​, our secluded private villa tucked away within verdant tropical surroundings.

With panoramic ocean views, this is a stay that encourages life to slow down and spill outdoors - its soft, textured open-plan living spaces blending with expansive terraces and shady decks.

Here, mornings begin with birdsong & monkey calls, dappled sunlight and yoga overlooking the Pacific. Afternoons not spent exploring iconic waterfalls and surf breaks can be spent by the infinity pool or unwinding with in-villa spa treatments.

And evenings? Nighttime here is shaped by conversation and connection over long, relaxed meals prepared using fresh local ingredients - the villa’s concierge service providing everything from grocery runs to private chefs and all-inclusive options.

This is a setting that suits longer stays beautifully, with easy access to a whole host of Costa Rica’s most stunning sights, from Nauyaca Waterfall and Cano Island to the Manuel Antonio and Marina Ballena National Parks - a beautiful way to experience the country while keeping nature and luxury in perfect balance.

Nepal | Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

A Regenerative Retreat at the edge of the himalayas

Finally, we head to the foothills of the Himalayas where ​Tiger Mountan in Pokhara Lodge​ delivers vast mountain views alongside a pioneering dedication to regenerative tourism, pitch-perfect hospitality and award-winning comfort.

In their private garden settings, the lodge’s authentic “village-style” stone cottages offer uninterrupted views towards the Annapurna range, creating the ideal base to experience life in the rhythm of rural Nepal.

And it’s a rhythm that your clients can set to suit, with the freedom to be as active or as restful as they wish.

Whether it’s guided walks through surrounding villages and scenic hikes, lazy days by the pool followed by an in-room Ayurvedic massage, or paragliding in Pokhara, each day is rounded out with beautifully prepared meals using local produce back at the lodge.

The ideal fit for modern luxury travellers, this is a place that offers perfect perspective, gently restoring and leaving clients with a story they’ll love to tell for years to come.

Made For What Comes Next in Travel...

Something subtle is changing around how travellers think about travel, with the emphasis shifting towards places that do the restorative work themselves - where natural beauty, privacy, space and a slower pace help guests settle into restfulness with ease.

Longer stays, low-stimulation settings and plenty of time spent outdoors are becoming more and more important to conscious guests - from couples to multi-generational groups.

And so too is the knowledge that wellbeing and sustainability are two sides of the same coin, with travellers actively seeking stays that they know are run responsibly and rooted in local life and culture.

We designed The Retreat Collection to work in perfect partnership with these emerging trends, selecting properties with true care for both how they feel and what they deliver.

And they’re the kind of properties that will only become more relevant with time, as clients continue to look for options that offer them the best in restoration, luxury and the kind of wellbeing that comes naturally.
