An Unapologetically LUXURIOUS Expression of SELF-CARE

This New Zealand retreat marks the first-ever Farmluxe experience created exclusively for couples - a rare, one-time opportunity to share the Farmluxe world with your partner.

Limited to just eight couples and based at the ultra-luxurious Blanket Bay Lodge, the experience unfolds across some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking landscapes, including a privately chartered scenic flight to secret wildflower destinations, heli-hiking through jaw-dropping remote terrain, and exclusive access to private farms and gardens. The itinerary is thoughtfully designed to balance shared moments and individual pursuits. At select times, women will immerse themselves in signature Farmluxe floral and wellness workshops, while their partners embark on world-class fly fishing or other bespoke outdoor adventures.

Couples then come together for unforgettable shared experiences, including gourmet dining and guided tours through New Zealand's most breathtaking terrain.

Tucked along the pristine shores of Lake Wakatipu and accessible only by a winding private road or by air, Blanket Bay Lodge is one of New Zealand’s most exclusive alpine retreats.

Surrounded by towering mountains, ancient forest, and absolute stillness, the lodge offers a rare sense of seclusion and privacy that few places in the world can match. And we’ve booked the entire lodge exclusively for our retreat. Accommodations are generously scaled and beautifully appointed, with fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, and uninterrupted lake or mountain views that invite renewal at the deepest level. Days unfold beautifully here - marked by impeccable service, extraordinary cuisine, and the feeling of being completely cared for without intrusion. More than a luxury lodge, Blanket Bay is a destination in itself: intimate, timeless, and intentionally removed from the outside world. 

December marks wildflower season here, and the landscape will be bursting with color and inspiration.

We’ll enjoy beautiful luxury accommodations at Blanket Bay Lodge, a private charter flight to secret wildflower locations, heli-hiking and a heli-tour of Milford Sound, private farms and gardens, immersive floral artistry, fly-fishing, gourmet dining in incredible nature, daily wellness workshops, and floral therapy.

RETREAT FAQs

Do I need prior yoga or Floral Experience?

Not at all. Our wellness sessions are designed for every level, from first-timers to seasoned practitioners. The same goes for our creative workshops—you don’t need any experience to enjoy arranging flowers or painting blooms. Each activity is about slowing down, exploring, and finding joy in the process.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes—we work closely with local chefs and our host venues to create nourishing meals that accommodate most dietary needs. When you apply, you’ll have a chance to share any restrictions or allergies, and we’ll take care to ensure your dining experience feels thoughtful and delicious.

Do you accept payment plans?

Yes absolutely. All Farmluxe Retreats can be paid in payment plans (typically in 2-4 installments). You can find this information for this particular retreat above.

What is Farmluxe Floral Therapy? 

Farmluxe Floral Therapy is a non-clinical, guided sensory experience designed to gently calm the nervous system and invite the body into deep rest. It is offered as a practice in nervous system regulation rather than treatment or talk-based therapy.

The experience unfolds in two intentional phases. The first is a 30-minute guided journey into relaxation, beginning with breathwork, sound, and a guided floral meditation. Flowers are introduced slowly through scent, touch, subtle aromas, and natural textures, allowing the body to soften out of fight-or-flight and into a felt sense of safety, ease, and presence.

The second 30-minute phase centers on meditative floral mandala creation. In a quiet, unhurried atmosphere supported by calming music and no spoken guidance, guests intuitively work with flowers and natural elements as a form of moving meditation. This creative portion allows the nervous system to integrate the earlier sensory experience through rhythm, beauty, and creativity.

Together, the practice supports lower cortisol levels, slower heart rate, deeper breathing, and the release of stored tension - using the senses and creativity as natural pathways to calm. Nothing needs to be interpreted, analyzed, or fixed; guests are simply invited to slow down, create, and receive. 

Are there any fees/additions not included in the retreat?

Not included are your airfare, airport transfers (you are responsible for getting yourself to and from Blanket Bay Lodge). As well as any alcoholic beverages, additional spa treatments, unscheduled meals, gratuities, room service, laundry service. We take care of everything else.

Memories from New Zealand

YOUR NEXT CHAPTER IS IN BLOOM

We believe that time in nature is the ultimate form of self-care and that gardening, hiking, and immersing ourselves in the world’s natural beauty is both restorative and transformative. At the heart of every retreat is a love of blooms, a reverence for the earth, and kindred women coming together.
