Your team doesn't need another conference room.
They need a real reset.

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.

🧠
Stress Reduction

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.

💪
Physical Well-being

Gentle movement and stretching relieve the physical tension teams carry from long meetings, travel, and screen-heavy days — releasing what spreadsheets can't.

Mental Clarity

Breathing exercises and meditation techniques sharpen problem-solving, creative thinking, and the kind of strategic clarity that no slide deck can manufacture.

🤝
Authentic Connection

A relaxed, beautifully held environment where teammates connect as humans first — the kind of bonding that no icebreaker activity ever delivers.

This Is For Your Team

Tropical Refuge is the right fit

What guests say after
a day at Tropical Refuge

"

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.

— Sabina R. Dominguez

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.

— Gloria Reid

Teams and groups consistently report reduced stress, sharper focus, stronger connection, and the kind of mental clarity that fuels real results back at the office. You are the most potent force in the universe — everything you need is already within you.

Clients consistently report reduced stress, emotional breakthroughs, improved confidence, nervous system relief, deeper sleep, and a profound sense of reconnection to themselves — often after just one session.

Mary Andrews-Weaver Founder & Wellness Curator

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.

You are the most potent force in the universe. Everything you need is already within you. Inside of you is drive, tenacity, wisdom, determination, grace, ease, flow, and passion. Tap into it. It's there.

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.

Everything you're
wondering about

  • The studio comfortably hosts up to 30 guests across 2,000 sqft of open-concept space, with our oasis patio providing additional indoor-outdoor flow. We've hosted intimate executive offsites, leadership circles, full-team wellness days, brand activations, and corporate retreats — and we're happy to advise on what size and format will work best for your group's specific goals.
  • Every retreat is personalized based on your defined outcomes. Mary will collaborate with you to understand your team's goals — whether that's stress reduction, sharper focus, deeper bonding, or pure restoration — and then design programming that delivers. You can book directly through our Peerspace listing for the venue, or reach out to mary@tropicalrefuge.com to co-create a fully custom experience.
  • The Manhattan Beach studio has a 1-hour booking minimum and is available all day, every day — Monday through Sunday, 24 hours. Most corporate retreats run between 2–6 hours, but we also host full-day immersive experiences and multi-session retreats spread across multiple days for leadership teams who want a deeper reset.
  • The studio comes with kitchen access, restrooms, the outdoor oasis patio, and beautiful curated furniture. Food and beverage, alcohol, AV and music, and parking can all be arranged. Our most popular host-provided add-ons include the signature Stretch & Sound Bath (or Barre or Dance) experiences and our full Wellness Retreat programming with certified instructors.
  • None at all. Our certified instructors design every experience to meet teams exactly where they are — accessible to total beginners, meaningful for seasoned practitioners. Sound bath in particular requires nothing but the willingness to lie back and receive. People who "don't usually do wellness stuff" are often the ones most affected.
  • Absolutely. While our signature programming is wellness-led, the venue is also ideal for corporate events, team meetings, brand activations, photo shoots, ladies' nights, birthday parties, and creative offsites. Many clients book the space and weave in 60–90 minutes of sound bath or breathwork to elevate an otherwise standard event into something memorable.
  • Standard 30-day policy: full refund if you cancel 30+ days before the event, 50% refund between 30 and 7 days out, and no refund within 7 days. There's also a 24-hour grace period after booking confirmation for full refunds (up to 48 hours before event start time). For custom retreats with significant programming, we'll discuss tailored terms during planning.

Your team deserves more than a ballroom.

Let's design something they'll talk about for years. Book the venue directly or reach out to co-create a custom corporate retreat shaped around your team's defined outcomes.
