Luxury retreats for women in extraordinary places
When women gather with intention in beautiful places, something extraordinary happens.
Camp Joy Retreats are intentional gatherings for women who want more than a vacation. They want connection, beautiful experiences, and the joy that comes from sharing meaningful moments together.
Conversations deepen. Friendships form. And joy quietly returns.
Women from across North America and Europe have joined Camp Joy retreats in France, England, Mexico, and the United States.
“Camp Joy was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I arrived exhausted and left feeling connected, inspired, and full of joy.”
Life at Camp Joy
Slow mornings. Coffee on the terrace. Yoga and quiet moments as the day begins.
Thoughtful Inner Joy sessions invite reflection, conversation, and deeper connection.
Afternoons bring village markets, vineyard lunches, and time to explore beautiful places.
Evenings gather everyone back around the table. Glasses clink. Laughter rises.
And somewhere during the week, you feel it. Lighter. More present. More yourself.
Who attends Camp Joy
Camp Joy is for women who feel the pull to step away from the everyday and reconnect with what truly matters.
It’s for women who love beautiful places and meaningful experiences, but who know the most memorable moments are often the conversations around the table, the laughter that comes unexpectedly, and the friendships that form when life slows down.
Camp Joy may be perfect for you if you:
-
Are craving a break from the pace of everyday life
-
Love travel but want something deeper than a typical vacation
-
Enjoy thoughtful conversation, laughter, and shared experiences
-
Are curious, open, and excited to explore new places
-
Are traveling solo but would love to arrive somewhere welcoming
-
Want to return home feeling inspired, refreshed, and connected
Some women come with friends. Many arrive on their own. By the end of the retreat, everyone feels part of something special.
What our Campers are saying
The most meaningful way to understand a Camp Joy retreat is through the women who have experienced it. Their words capture the connection, laughter, and sense of renewal that unfolds when women gather with intention in beautiful places.
“I had never done anything like the Inner Joy sessions before - the places they took me will remain sanctuaries in me for years to come, it felt like learning a superpower.”

“It’s amazing how just 72 hours can turn strangers into friends. The laughs, late-night talks, and little moments meant everything. Camp Joy creates connections that stay with us long after the week ends. It’s truly a magical experience.”

“Camp Joy felt highly curated, creatively executed, and committed to women deepening their connections within and between.”

The Heart of
Camp Joy Retreats
Camp Joy was created by sisters Marea Kavanagh and Monique Kavanagh.
Both bring a deep love of travel, adventure, and unforgettable experiences in extraordinary places.
Marea brings a passion for reflection, connection, and helping women rediscover their inner joy through thoughtful conversation and the Inner Joy sessions she leads.
Monique focuses on curating the overall retreat experience, creating memorable local moments that bring each Camp Joy gathering to life.
Together they created Camp Joy to bring women together in beautiful places for meaningful connection and joyful discovery.
