Luxury Couples Retreat
What Makes a Luxury Couples Retreat Different
This is not a spa day or a group circle. A luxury couples retreat is private, focused clinical work, personally guided by Andrew Sofin, drawing on more than 25 years of experience with couples. Sessions run as long as clinically necessary rather than fitting into fixed 50-minute blocks. The luxury resort setting supports genuine focus, giving you and your partner room to concentrate on each other without distraction. Every detail is arranged to protect that focus, so your attention stays where it matters most.

The Private, One-on-One Retreat Experience
Every session in this intensive couples therapy retreat is one-on-one with Andrew Sofin, MA, RP, TCF, RMFT. There is no rotating staff and no handoff to someone new. Days typically follow a steady rhythm: couples therapy in the morning and individual therapy in the afternoon. Your retreat plan is built around the specific goals you and your partner bring, so the work stays grounded in what actually matters to your relationship. That continuity of one clinician means nothing gets lost between sessions.
Who a Luxury Couples Retreat Is Right For
What to Expect Before, During, and After
An intensive couples therapy retreat begins before you arrive, with a pre-retreat intake session to name your goals together. During the retreat, days combine guided couples work with individual reflection time, so each of you can process at a comfortable pace. The structure stays clinically guided throughout, with Andrew Sofin leading every step. Post-retreat continuity matters, too, and any follow-up support is discussed directly so that the momentum from your time together carries forward long after you return home.

Andrew Sofin upholds professional ethical standards throughout, giving you and your partner a safe, protected space to be fully honest with each other, at every stage.

frequently asked questions
Is this retreat for people whose marriage is in trouble?
What can I expect from a couples therapy retreat?
An intensive couples therapy retreat centers on private sessions with Andrew Sofin and structured days built around your goals. Instead of squeezing conversation into a single weekly hour, you get concentrated, uninterrupted time to focus on each other, free from daily distractions. Mornings generally hold couples work, afternoons allow individual reflection, and the pace adjusts to what you need. The aim is genuine understanding and steady progress, guided at every step by an experienced clinician.
What if my partner isn't sure about this?
Hesitation is completely normal, and no one should feel pushed. Many couples begin with one partner more certain than the other, and that is fine. Rather than pressing for a decision, you might simply share this page so your partner can read about the format and the private, one-on-one approach at their own pace. A luxury couple retreat works best when both people feel they arrived by choice, so there is time and room to consider it together.
How far in advance should I book?
Lead times vary based on schedules and your preferred setting, so it helps to reach out early to discuss timing and availability for your retreat. Because each retreat is private and led personally by Andrew Sofin, planning ahead gives you and your partner the widest range of dates and locations to choose from. There is no rush and no deadline pressure attached to any of this. The right time is whenever you and your partner feel ready to begin the conversation together.
Are there situations you don't work with?
Every couple’s circumstances are different, and fit is best understood through a direct conversation rather than assumptions. Some situations may call for specialized care, and Andrew Sofin can talk through whether luxury couples retreats are the right approach for you both or another path would serve you better. The clearest next step is a consultation to discuss your goals and circumstances, so you can decide together, with honest, informed guidance, what will help most.
