Imiloa is home.

You belong here.

At Imiloa, we believe through a spirit of service and a posture of learning — that together — we can create the individual and social transformation of the planet. Imiloa creates the experience of home for you to be able to awaken your consciousness in service to yourself and your community.

You get to be held.

For retreat leaders, we're your full spectrum strategic operations dream team. For our cherished guests, we're the most luxurious and heart-centered experience in hospitality you could imagine. Joining will feel like a never-ending dream grounded in a reality that you can take home with you.

Imiloa is an intercontinental institute for the education and advancement of humanity. We're building a center on every continent to serve the communities we call home, the team that has become our family and the guests and teachers that are making the world a safer, better place.

Come home to yourself.

Our uncommon shared humanity is expressed boldly at Imiloa.

For almost a decade, Imiloa has created accessible spaces of retreat for human beings to be able to create, play, explore and transform.

 

Since 2018, we've hosted 400+ retreat leaders and over ten thousand guests from sixty countries on our two campuses. Every modality, from yoga retreats, business and well-being retreats, speciality retreats like Ayurvedic experiences, continuing education programs for physicians, corporate gatherings like that of the United Nations, education retreats like those taught by Dr. Peter Levine or Dr. Jasmine Abrams from Yale or experiential retreats like those taught by best-selling author Dr. Martha Beck have all continued to host at Imiloa.

We celebrate an inter-disciplinary approach to mastery and we believe the future of education is experiential.

Named by a respected Hawaiian kupuna from the island of Moloka‘i, during a time of talk story with Imiloa's founder, the word “Imiloa” carries a deep, mystical spirit of exploration driven by a sense of wonder and imagination.

More like national parks than retreat centers,
Imiloa campuses awaken the senses and invite a return home to oneself. We host some of the world's leading educators and entrepreneurs in high-content learning environments that are as exceptional as they are experiential.

And everything's always included. From the gourmet food designed to your specifications by a world-famous cuisine team that are scientists, artists and creators, to the private planes and luxury ground transportation, to the more than seventy team members that look after you while you're with us to the small touches by our renowned “Surprise and Delight” team that researches every guest before arrival curating true moments of wonder and awe, we are all about the lived experience of love.  

At Imiloa, we believe that transformation can happen in an instant. All we have to do discover something new about ourselves, another human being or the world around us. We create the conditions for that discovery to happen on retreat. We can't wait to meet you and welcome you home.

Imiloa is one of a kind.

It’s a mix of deep rooted nature with a waterfall included, and is also high end luxury. I fell in love with the entire team. The operations group is incredible and holds a needed and beautiful container of groundedness. The Chef changed the game in how I view vegan cuisine. It is the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you.

Wow, Imiloa. I will continue to be a loud trumpet signaling to everyone I know that Imiloa is a special place.

Truly first-rate across the board. This was the 35th retreat that I've led over my 20 year teaching career, and it reaffirmed in my mind that Imiloa is my favorite venue that I've ever used.

Congratulations to this team on all the hard work to execute the vision that was birthed all those years ago. I hope that we can keep doing this together for another 20 years.

Imiloa is a sacred and beautiful place.

It provided rest for my soul and nourishment for my body unlike any I’ve ever experienced. I want to gather up all my friends and family and bring them with me to Imiloa the next time I go. That way, they’d get to experience the love and grace that I received during my time there. I can’t thank the Imiloa team enough for what they’ve created. Forever grateful.

Working with Imiloa is likejoining a family.

I felt so supported and welcomed, from detailed advice that took away any anxiety, to warm hugs from everyone, and simple clarity in how we collaborate. The Imiloa experience is such a treat.
