Frequently Asked Questions about Retreat locations

Have a question about Retreat in California, CA?
  • How much does it cost to rent a retreat location in California?
    In California, retreat venues usually charge between $200 and $1000 an hour. This generally covers the basics like lodging and meeting rooms, but you may need to budget for food or equipment rentals, if applicable. Some places offer all-inclusive packages that can be a better deal for vacations that last more than one day.
  • What square footage do I need for a retreat in California?
    Plan for about 30 to 40 square feet of shared space for each person for a comfortable retreat. This will provide plenty of room for events, workshops, and relaxation. Also, pay attention to everyone’s housing needs. A space of about 5,000 square feet could comfortably accommodate around 125 to 165 people for group activities.
  • What kind of venues are available for a retreat in California?
    California offers a diverse range of retreat venues. You can find serene mountain lodges in the Sierra Nevada, coastal resorts along the Pacific, tranquil desert retreats in Joshua Tree, or even vineyard estates in Napa Valley. Many venues offer a blend of natural beauty and modern amenities, perfect for both relaxation and adventure.
  • What's the best region in California to host a retreat?
    The theme and purpose of your retreat will help you choose the best California location. Visit the Lake Tahoe area or Big Sur for a nature-focused getaway. Places near Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo offer a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. For a more intimate and one-of-a-kind experience, the Mendocino coast or the Shasta area provides stunning, off-the-beaten-path choices.
  • What's the best way for guests to travel to a California retreat?
    LAX, SFO, and SAN are some of California's biggest airports; where guests should fly in depends on where the event is happening. Since many retreat sites are in more remote places, renting a car is often the easiest way to get to your destination. Some venues also have shuttles that can pick up your group from a nearby airport. Always provide clear directions to the venue, including any public transportation options or recommended driving routes.

Gail was so wonderful to deal with during the booking process and such.There's alot to see here. I would advise doing a location scout beforehand, there's lots of clutter and cleanup needed. Our production is thrilled with the outcome of our music video, thank you!

Beautiful location tucked away in the mountains just outside Los Angeles. The owners are very accommodating and Richard, the ranch manager, is an absolute joy to work with. He is extremely helpful and available to your needs during production. This location was used by multiple productions at once so I recommend double checking that either you have the space to yourself, or that productions do not overlap.

Once again our experience shooting with Gail and Richard was the absolute best. I can’t recommend this location enough. So many different looks and shooting areas. Only issue is there is no cell service.

Find Retreat locations in California, CA

California is known for sunny skies, sandy beaches, and breathtaking views. People flock to California for vacations and retreats all year, and it's easy to see why the San Francisco Bay area is a popular place for corporate retreats. However, the Bay area can be overcrowded; instead, look for fabulous retreat spaces in California City.

Host a fabulous retreat at a mountain cabin for gorgeous mountain views and a cozy atmosphere. Gather your colleagues and host an event at a therapy barn turned retreat center complete with barnyard animals and rustic charm. Spiritual retreats will inspire anyone as they meditate with the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop. The natural beauty of California is like no other place in the USA. Indoor and outdoor venues for the perfect retreat can be found on Giggster.

Giggster gives you flexibility with budget-friendly event spaces to high-end locations in California; the right space is waiting for you. Finding your inner peace as you hike through Joshua Tree National Park or enjoy spa services in Desert Hot Springs may sound like a good idea, but check out the spaces in California where you can meditate and relax without the crowds of popular tourist attractions. With our event spaces that rival the Rancho Bernardo Inn or The Oaks, retreats are taken to a new level. Find corporate retreat locations on the Giggster app and plan a relaxing and memorable getaway.

You'll inspire your colleagues by choosing from Giggster's event spaces. Great company, good food, amazing weather, and team-building exercises will definitely impress!

Why Choose Giggster for Retreat Locations in California

The possibilities are endless when choosing retreat locations in California. Corporate retreats or private retreats, as long as there is a meeting space and gorgeous backdrop, what more do you need? Maybe private beaches, fitness classes, or spa treatments for guests to enjoy. Whether hosting corporate events or family reunions, Giggster has the best retreat locations in California.

  • Fly into San Diego International Airport and see the sights in the big city before attending a corporate retreat. Rent a car and drive to California from San Diego to see the sights along the way.

  • Vineyards have excellent meeting spaces, and with rolling hills as your backdrop, they're the perfect retreat locations. Napa Valley is the ideal place for vineyard hopping, but check out the fabulous vineyards in Northern California; they are exceptional!

  • With Santa Barbara only three hours away, check out the coast and breathtaking views. It's the ideal setting to breathe in the essence of California. California City's retreat spaces are the perfect venues to make memories and build strong relationships, but they are also close enough to other amazing cities in sunny California.

  • Head to San Luis Obispo, just about three hours from California City, and hit the golf course or sit around a fire pit after a long day of icebreakers, meetings, and schmoozing. The Golden State has fantastic options for retreats and vacations, but none can rival the peace and tranquility found in California City.
