Listening to the sounds of nature while admiring stunning natural views is an unparalleled experience. Even if you live in a naturally beautiful state, you might find it difficult to pencil in the time to book an outdoor getaway.
Furthermore, it can be even more difficult to find an accommodation option in a remote area that meets your standards. However, there is no reason you should give up a comfortable environment for outdoor adventures.
So, while you may think that a wilderness vacation and luxury retreats seem contradictory, many luxury accommodations offer outdoor adventures. Additionally, Collective Retreats offers top-of-the-line accommodations across the country, giving you a variety of options and environments to immerse yourself within.
If you are ready for a wilderness vacation that incorporates the benefits of a five-star hotel, look no further.
Collective Retreats has always strived to give guests the best of both worlds: the immersive experience of vacationing in nature and the chance to return to luxurious accommodations at the end of the night.
Additionally, as a Collective Retreats guest, you have immediate access to intimate activities that are designed to be relaxing and restorative while highlighting local, unique experiences.
Our most popular accommodation option, the Summit Tent, will give you a lodging experience unlike any you have seen before. You can start your morning by listening to the birds chirp and the nearby rushing stream as you sip your coffee on your private deck.
After a day of exciting activities in nature, you can take a long hot shower in your en suite bathroom and do your nightly skincare routine at your own personal vanity setup.
Afterward, jump into your king-sized bed and plug your phone in with the bedside outlet. The temperature-controlled space and high-quality bedding will ensure a restful night of sleep.
Besides top-of-the-line accommodations, Collective Retreats also offers high-quality culinary experiences that are made by an on-site chef. You will have access to gourmet meals three times a day, as well as craft cocktails at happy hour and sweet treats brought in by a pastry chef.
Each meal is centered around fresh, local ingredients and enhances your immersive experience.

As a Collective Retreats guest, you will have preferred access and a 10% discount at the nearby spa. This immersive European spa is designed to be a total oasis, as it is surrounded by lush, peaceful gardens and impressive outdoor pools.

To really dive into the local wilderness, take advantage of our Sunrise and Sunset Hikes. You can grab a map and explore the beautiful nature surrounding you.
Deciding what to bring with you when you’re heading into the wilderness can be difficult. While it may take a few excursions to discover what you prefer having with you, we’re breaking down some essentials that are good starting points.
The sun is one of the first things you want to consider for outdoor adventures. If you’re heading to a place with a lot of rays and little shade, definitely make sure you have some good solar defenses. It’s always a good idea to pack a few hats, whether they be wide-brimmed sun hats, baseball caps, and bucket hats — whatever will help keep your head, face, neck, and shoulders comfortable.
Another good rule of thumb for the outdoors is to keep your clothes comfy and functional. Yes, you want to feel unrestricted while going for a scenic hike or biking along a winding path, but you also want to make sure your gear supports your body in the elements. This means sticking to fabrics that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-controlling.
For warmer weather, a good pair of biker shorts, a few tank tops, athletic socks, and a pair of trainers will serve you well. In chillier climates, layer up with athletic long-sleeve shirts, windbreakers, yoga pants, fleece-lined pants, and warm socks.
Booking a vacation in the wilderness can be difficult if you prefer to stay in high-end accommodations. Collective Retreats recognized the lack of high-end accommodation options in the wilderness and decided to give guests the opportunity to choose both comfort and outdoor adventure.
Immerse yourself in the green space of NYC at Governor’s Island or the rolling hills of Texas Hill Country for the ultimate outdoor getaway. Rely on Collective Retreats to provide you with access to location-specific experiences that highlight the natural wonders of the area.
