Creative Writing retreats in
Costa Rica

In partnership with Las Cascadas Boutique Hotel, near Manuel Antonio, COSTA RICA.

Imagine writing in a hammock while a flock of parrots screeches by and a sloth watches you from a nearby tree. Picture yourself scribbling down ideas while you lie beside a sparkling pool and hummingbirds flit past, attracted by the lush foliage. Take writing workshops under a rainforest canopy, filling your notebook with enough prompts to keep you inspired all year long. Sound appealing? Then join our creative writing retreat in Costa Rica! Discover the natural beauty of this gorgeous country, be part of a community of writers and take advantage of the peace and serenity of our unique eco lodge, as you work on your creative project.

Write, relax, daydream and unwind.

Creative Writing retreats in Mexico

In partnership with Luz En Yucatan Hotel, Merida, MEXICO

The patio of Luz En Yucatan Lodge

The cultural heart of the Americas, Merida has it all: a fascinating blend of colonial Spanish and Mayan history, world class restaurants, art galleries and museums, a beautiful plaza, and endless colourful neighbourhoods for you to roam and discover. But behind the high ochre walls of Luz En Yucatan lies another world. Tiny, tranquil courtyards. Tropical flowers. Mayan statues. A pretty little pool. This is the haven we’ll inhabit for our writing workshops, and solo writing time. Look inward, and create – or step out beyond the walls of our retreat for all the inspiration you could wish for. That, plus Mayan ruins, beaches, cenotes, gorgeous villages and nature experiences – all a short cab ride away.

Leave the real world behind for one unforgettable week, and be the writer you always wanted to be.

Creative Writing retreats in the UK

In partnership with The Tower Guest House, York, UK!

York Street View

It’s possible to write anywhere, of course, but the pleasure of writing on a retreat lies in combining creative pursuits with the discovery of new friends, new places and new experiences. York is a spectacular city in the North East of England founded by the Romans in 71AD. It has a long and fascinating history, and a wealth of intriguing buildings and attractions to explore.
