Frequently Asked Questions About The Pearl Laguna Wellness Retreat

Planning a wellness retreat in Laguna Beach, California? Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about booking, cancellations, arrival, your stay, packing, and who you'll see along the way.

Booking Questions

What retreat lengths are available at The Pearl Laguna?

The Pearl Laguna offers 4-day, 5-day, and 7-day wellness retreat programs in Laguna Beach, California. Extended stays of up to 3–4 weeks may also be available for guests looking for a longer wellness reset.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM on Sunday. For 4-day and 5-day programs, check-out is after lunch on the final day. Guests staying the full 7-day retreat check out at 11:00 AM on Saturday.

Can I check in early?

Early check-in isn't available, since The Pearl Laguna runs back-to-back retreat weeks and our team needs time to fully prepare the property. If your flight arrives early, we recommend spending time at a local Laguna Beach hotel before arriving at 3:00 PM.

How many guests attend The Pearl Laguna each week?

To keep the experience intimate and personalized, we host approximately 8–12 guests per retreat week, allowing individual attention alongside group activities.

Can I come to The Pearl Laguna alone, or with a partner or friend?

Both! We have a wonderful mix of solo travelers, couples, and friend groups, with guests of all ages 18 and up. The program balances personal time with natural opportunities to connect through hiking, yoga, and meals.

What ages can attend The Pearl Laguna?

The Pearl Laguna welcomes adult guests 18 years and older.

What is the difference between the 4-day, 5-day, and 7-day retreats?

All lengths include the core Pearl Laguna experience. The difference is how much time you have to disconnect and immerse yourself — the full 7-day retreat allows more time for treatments, recovery, and building healthier routines.

Can I stay at The Pearl Laguna for longer than one week?

Yes. Extended stays of approximately 3–4 weeks may be available for guests who want more time for sustainable lifestyle change. Contact our booking team to discuss availability.

Cancellation Questions

What is your cancellation policy?

A 50% deposit is required at booking, with the remaining balance charged 40 days before arrival. Cancellations made at least 40 days out may receive a credit toward a future retreat within six months. Because travel plans can change unexpectedly, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance.

During Your Stay

All rooms are private. Guests traveling together may request to share a room when booking.

Is Wi-Fi available during the retreat?

Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi is available and guests may use phones and laptops. We encourage limiting screen time and using devices privately so you stay present — we understand needing to stay in touch with certain people.

Can I work remotely during my stay?

What kind of food is served at The Pearl Laguna?

Plant-based, vegetarian-focused, sugar-free, and organic — a high-protein, nutrient-dense menu prepared fresh in-house from whole foods, without refined sugar, seed oils, alcohol, or caffeine — satisfying and balanced, not just "light."

I normally eat meat every day. Will I get enough protein?

Yes. You don't need to eat plant-based before arriving — our culinary team intentionally builds high-protein, nutrient-dense meals throughout the menu, and most meat-eating guests are surprised by how substantial the food is.

Will I feel hungry without meat?

No — the program isn't built around calorie deprivation or salads alone. Meals are carefully planned to be nourishing, balanced, and satisfying, offering a refreshing nutritional reset from your usual routine.

Is The Pearl Laguna vegetarian? Do you serve eggs?

Our food philosophy is plant-based and vegetarian-focused, built on vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, nuts, and other whole-food protein sources. Eggs are available upon request.

Do you accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, sugar-free, and other common restrictions and allergies can be accommodated — please share complete details at the time of booking so our culinary team can plan ahead.

Is caffeine or alcohol served during the retreat?

No — The Pearl Laguna is a caffeine and alcohol free retreat, designed to support rest, recovery, and mental clarity. We recommend gradually lowering your caffeine intake before arrival.

What does a typical day at The Pearl Laguna look like?

Mornings begin with yoga, breakfast, and a guided hike; afternoons bring lunch, free time, and your included massage; evenings offer restorative yoga, dinner, and Russian banya before rest. The exact schedule can vary by program.

Are massages included at The Pearl Laguna?

Yes, therapeutic massage sessions are included Monday through Friday as part of your scheduled stay, supporting physical recovery and relaxation.

Are hikes and other activities mandatory?

No. Participation is flexible — we always encourage guests to listen to their bodies. Skipping a scheduled hike or activity doesn't change your retreat pricing, and you're always welcome to rest instead.

Do I need experience with hiking, yoga, or meditation?

No previous experience is required — The Pearl Laguna is designed for beginners through experienced participants. Before arrival we collect your activity level, injuries, and needs so the experience can be adapted to you.

Packing

What should I pack for my stay?

A detailed packing list is provided once your reservation is confirmed. In general, bring comfortable activewear, hiking or walking shoes, a light jacket or layers, a sun hat, a swimsuit, and comfortable clothing for yoga — Laguna Beach temperatures can vary throughout the day.

A small, dedicated team cares for you throughout your stay — your yoga instructor leading morning and evening practice, our culinary team preparing your meals, massage therapists for your included sessions, and a guide for your hikes.
