What the Data Is Telling Us: Retreat Industry Trends from Retreat Guru

What does real retreat industry data actually look like? Not surveys or guesswork — nearly 400,000 actual bookings across 896 centers, spanning three years and two continents.

Retreat Guru's Cameron Vayos recently pulled back the curtain, and the insights are worth sitting with. Did you know 22% of all retreat bookings happen in the final week? Or that median retreat prices have barely moved since 2022, even as costs keep climbing? Or that private room pricing at most centers may be leaving serious money on the table?

From booking patterns and cancellation rates to who's actually showing up (and for how long), this data offers something rare: real benchmarks for an industry that has long run on intuition.

If you lead or operate a retreat center, this one's worth a read.
