A boho-luxe wellness sanctuary in Manhattan Beach where high-performing teams come to slow down, reconnect, and return to work clearer, calmer, and more creative.
From global brands like Universal Studios and Blenders to championship sports like AVP, leading teams choose Tropical Refuge for retreats, offsites & brand activations.
2,000 sqft of intentionally curated space — open-concept floor plan, dreamy natural light, and an oasis patio nestled right by the water. The kind of place that makes your nervous system soften the moment you walk in.
A dream location in Manhattan Beach — with a light, airy, boho atmosphere and an oasis patio nestled right by the water.
High-performing teams burn out quietly. The wins keep coming, the deadlines keep stacking, and nobody admits how depleted they actually are — until creativity stalls, communication frays, and the people you depend on stop showing up as themselves.
Tropical Refuge is a different kind of offsite. Instead of trust falls and forced fun, we create a beautiful, intentionally curated wellness experience that addresses what teams actually need: nervous system regulation, real connection, and a few hours of true restoration in a space designed for it.
Your team leaves clearer, calmer, more connected — and ready to bring their best work back to the table.
Sound bath and breathwork help your team manage stress and anxiety, returning to work with clear minds and renewed focus that lasts well beyond the day.
Gentle movement and stretching relieve the physical tension teams carry from long meetings, travel, and screen-heavy days — releasing what spreadsheets can't.
Breathing exercises and meditation techniques sharpen problem-solving, creative thinking, and the kind of strategic clarity that no slide deck can manufacture.
A relaxed, beautifully held environment where teammates connect as humans first — the kind of bonding that no icebreaker activity ever delivers.
A weekend to reset your nervous system, master your emotions, and reconnect to your most confident self. We blend mindset coaching, EI frameworks, somatic movement, sound bath + reiki, and restorative self-care.
Learn practical emotional intelligence tools to navigate triggers, set loving boundaries, and return to grounded confidence — then integrate through movement, breath, and ritual.
Identify patterns, decode needs, and shift core beliefs with clear, compassionate frameworks.
Barre-inspired movement + breathwork to regulate your nervous system and build embodied safety.
Reiki attunement & sound bath to balance, soften, and restore.
Journaling, nature time, and simple rituals you can sustain at home.
I had wounds that ran deep — many I had forgotten. Mary helped me bring them to the surface. I felt safe knowing she was there. With her help, I filled that space with positive energy, love, and compassion. Working with her has brought me a happiness I never knew was possible.
A journey into healing is not always a clear path. Mary clears the path for navigation. An alchemist at heart, her delightful skill and warmth provide healing in a safe sanctuary. Let Mary guide you through turmoil to a destination of peace and prosperity.
For two decades, our founder has been the person corporate leaders, executives, and high-performing teams call when they need more than a hotel ballroom and a catering menu. Our team includes Reiki Masters, Certified IAWP Holistic Wellness Coaches, and Licensed Estheticians — practitioners who have spent their careers creating experiences that actually move people.
Tropical Refuge was founded in 2004 with one mission: to give people a beautiful, intentionally curated space to recharge and unleash their life force. What began as a holistic spa has grown into Manhattan Beach's most distinctive corporate retreat venue — a 2,000 sqft boho-luxe studio and oasis patio where teams come to step out of the noise and back into themselves.
Every retreat at Tropical Refuge is personalized. Our team works with executive sponsors and event planners to design programming around defined outcomes — experiences that enhance the psychological, spiritual, physical, and emotional state of every team member who walks through the door.
Whether your team needs a half-day reset, a full offsite, or a custom multi-day retreat, our certified practitioners will create something your people will be talking about long after they're back at their desks.
We co-create in a sacred space built on purpose — to help you fulfill your vision and bring out the very best in your people.
