Retreat, Reconnect, Restore

Wellness & Spiritual Retreats at The Belamar

A place to step away from the everyday and make space for what matters.

Bring your retreat to Manhattan Beach, where the energy of the California coast meets the comfort and character of The Belamar. Whether you're planning a wellness weekend, mindfulness retreat, spiritual gathering, leadership offsite, yoga experience, creative reset, or intimate group getaway, The Belamar gives you room to gather, reflect, recharge, and reconnect. With flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, comfortable guest rooms, an on-site pool and spa, and full-service catering from Second Story Restaurant, everything you need for a meaningful retreat is right here.

Gather with intention. Stay awhile. Leave renewed.

Room to Breathe.
Space to Gather.

A great retreat needs more than a meeting room.

At The Belamar, your group can move naturally between shared experiences, quiet reflection, breakout sessions, meals, and time to simply be. Our flexible event spaces can be configured around the way your retreat actually works—from intimate circles and small-group conversations to larger presentations, workshops, movement sessions, and communal meals.

With more than 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, there's room to create a retreat experience that feels purposeful rather than programmed.

  • The Retreat Doesn't Have to Stay Indoors.

    Take It Outside

    When the Southern California weather is calling, take your group outside.

    The Belamar's Sunset Garden offers a lush outdoor setting for ceremonies, relaxed receptions, group gatherings, and moments of connection beneath the open sky. The space can accommodate groups of up to 120 guests.

    Imagine beginning the morning outdoors, gathering for a midday workshop, then returning outside for an evening reception as the day winds down.

    Morning reflection. Afternoon connection. Evening celebration.

    Your retreat can have a rhythm all its own.
