Company Overview: Transforming Hospitality by Connecting People and Place

Our mission is to revolutionize global travel through a collection of dynamic destination Retreats, authentic luxury service, and enriching experiences that connect people with nature. With retreats in locations where traditional hotels simply cannot exist, elevated culinary experiences, and luxury accommodations that eliminate the boundaries between inside and out, Collective Retreats is a leader in the rapidly evolving outdoor hospitality space.

Since 2014, we have operated some of the most talked about lodging experiences in the United States. With locations on Governors Island- just 7 minutes off the tip of Manhattan, Hill Country Texas, Vail Colorado, and 10 additional retreats targeted by the end of 2022, the Collective experience connects its guests to nature in an exciting new way.

We believe we are all inextricably tied to each other and this place we call home. Together we strive to have our guests leave our retreats feeling truly connected to and responsible for the destination they visited.
