Where Sunlit Gardens Become Restorative Retreats

For retreat hosts and wellness travelers, we curate plant-forward escapes and send ready guests—hosts typically see 42–68% more qualified inquiries within 60 days of listing.

You pour heart into gardens and programming, but your calendar still has empty sunlight. Generic directories bury your niche, and social posts vanish before ideal guests can evaluate fit. Flora del Sol curates plant-forward retreats, clarifies expectations, and channels bookings through trusted partners and direct inquiries.

About

Why We Built This

Flora del Sol began after a sunrise practice in a Mediterranean citrus grove where scent, light, and breath aligned. The organizer said their biggest challenge was finding guests who cared about plants as much as posture. We interviewed horticultural therapists, garden managers, and retreat hosts across climates. The pattern was clear: nature wasn’t an amenity; it was the curriculum. Yet listings rarely showed shade plans, bloom timing, or herbal depth. We built a taxonomy that surfaces these details and an editorial layer that teaches travelers what to expect. Early hosts struggled with inconsistent photos and vague copy, so we added a light concierge and standards. Today, we’re on a mission to match sunlit places with guests who arrive already aligned.

Features

What We Offer

Botanical-first filtering and precise taxonomy

Guests search by what they feel and need—herb walks, citrus breathwork, shade hours, pollinator gardens. Your listing translates environment into choices, so qualified guests self-select before contacting you.

Seasonal bloom and sunlight guides

Hosts time programs for comfort and presence; travelers book when gardens show their best. Expect fewer weather surprises and calendars that fill outside obvious holiday weeks.

Vetting and clear standards for trust

We verify capacity, accessibility, shade plans, and garden access with photos and notes. Travelers see consistent details; hosts field fewer repetitive questions and earn stronger reviews.

Flexible booking: affiliates or direct

Connect to programs like BookRetreats, Tripaneer/BookYogaRetreats, or Booking.com, or route to your CRM. Capture demand where it converts best for your model.

Host analytics that inform decisions

Understand how “herbal workshop” vs. “garden yoga” moves guests to act. Adjust pricing and programming with data instead of guesswork.

Corporate planner detail packs

Planners get fast clarity; you get fewer emailing marathons. Expect shorter decision cycles and larger, well-prepared groups.

Editorial features and earned badges

Visibility rewards hosts who do the work: clear shade plans, water stations, and plant education. Guests see your care before they arrive.

Fast setup with light concierge

Expect a tight turnaround from draft to live, typically within five days. You leave with a profile that sells the experience you actually deliver.

What People Say

We used to answer the same five questions for every lead. After listing here, aligned guests arrive informed. In the first 45 days, inquiries rose 58% and we filled two shoulder-week sessions we’d usually cancel.

M
Marisol Vega
Founder & Head Guide

The planner packs cut our decision time by 32 hours. Capacity, shade plans, and dietary details were right there. Our team offsite NPS jumped from 61 to 78 after choosing a garden-first venue.

E
Ethan R.
Director of Corporate Wellness

My audience finally understands what ‘plant-forward’ means. The taxonomy lets people self-select before messaging. I saw a 2.2x increase in serious inquiries and fewer discount requests.

P
Priya N.
Yoga Teacher & Herbalist

Photos plus climate notes set expectations, so reviews improved. ADR rose by $43 after we clarified shade hours and garden access. Cancellations due to heat dropped noticeably.

D
Diego Alvarez
General Manager

We kept our affiliate links but added direct inquiries for custom groups. That flexibility added four bookings last quarter, including a 26-person corporate group.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle bookings or payments?
We’re a discovery and listing platform with flexible paths. You can link to established travel partners or direct inquiries to your CRM or email. This keeps your operations consistent while giving guests a clear call to action. Over time, we’ll add more routing options based on host feedback.
How does vetting work and how long does it take?
After you submit your listing, we review photos, capacities, accessibility, shade plans, and garden access. We often suggest small wording or image tweaks to set expectations. Most reviews complete in 3–5 days, depending on complexity. You’ll see a checklist so there are no surprises.
Why pay when there are free groups and directories?
Free options can be useful for awareness, but they rarely pre-qualify guests. Our taxonomy, editorial, and standards reduce noise and shorten decision time. Hosts typically see a measurable lift in qualified inquiries within 60 days. That time saved and alignment often outweighs the monthly fee.
Will this pay for itself?
Most hosts need just one incremental booking every few months to cover fees. In our internal benchmarks, average referred booking value is $1,740. Even a handful of aligned guests per year can tip your unit economics, especially during shoulder seasons. We encourage you to track results in our analytics.
Is this right for my retreat or venue?
If plants, light, and seasonality are central to your experience, yes. We’re built for programs where nature is the curriculum, not just a backdrop. It might NOT be for you if your offering is primarily indoor or urban without meaningful garden access or outdoor comfort planning.
How do affiliate programs fit in?
You can connect established partner links like BookRetreats, Tripaneer/BookYogaRetreats, or Booking.com for lodging. Guests choose the path that suits them, and you keep your existing operations. We don’t require a single checkout and can support multiple links per listing.
What data do you collect and how is it used?
We track listing views, saves, outbound clicks, inquiries, and keywords that drive discovery. This helps you refine copy and timing. We do not sell personal data and follow standard security practices for analytics storage. Aggregated trends may inform editorial guides.
Can you support corporate planners?
Yes. Our planner packs include capacities, AV options, dietary programs, and sample schedules. Planners receive fast clarity to build approvals and manage risk. Many teams report shorter decision cycles and smoother arrivals when these details are standardized.
What happens if I need to pause or cancel?
You can pause or cancel anytime, effective at the end of your current billing period. Your listing will be hidden from search while paused. Data remains on file, so you can reactivate quickly when dates return. We’ll send reminders before changes go live.
Do you offer help with photos and copy?
On Canopy and Sun Garden, we provide light concierge support, including editing and selection guidance. We focus on communicating sensory detail and logistics guests care about. If you need deeper creative support, we can refer you to trusted specialists.
